Excited to share that I will be joining UCSD CSE as an assistant professor in January 2026! I'll be recruiting PhD students from the 2024 application pool - if you're interested in anything ML Sys/efficiency/etc please reach out & put my name on your application! Until then I'll be finishing up some requirements at Stanford (long story...) and hanging out at @togethercompute. Stay tuned for more!

So excited to share that I've recently defended my PhD and joined @ColumbiaLaw as an Associate Professor! I'm absolutely ecstatic to be joining such an incredible community, and looking forward to much future work at the intersection of law and AI. Doing a JD/PhD in computer science at @StanfordLaw and with @HazyResearch was the experience of a lifetime, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity. If you're a student interested in this intersection–please reach out!!

Our CEO @vipulved on @CNBC with @dee_bosa: your data is your recipe. As models get smarter, sending proprietary workflows, customer context, and business logic into closed systems becomes a strategic decision. Open models help companies build AI while keeping more of their intelligence layer under their own control.

We @togethercompute believe intelligence should be abundant, not expensive. Today we announced our Series C funding of $800m @ $8.3B valuation, to continue to build the world's most efficient platform for generative AI. Thanks @nikogallogly for telling our story in @nytimes! shorturl.at/SooOP

Multi-GPU kernels are the real test for coding models. Today at @aiDotEngineer, @simran_s_arora shared ParallelKernelBench, an open-source benchmark for evaluating whether LLMs can write fast CUDA kernels for real communication-heavy workloads. Proud to see this work from the Together AI Frontier Performance team.

Our research team has 9 papers at ICML next week! Spanning the full stack from frontier agents to GPU kernels, we're excited to share what our researchers and collaborators have been working on. If you're in Seoul for ICML come meet our team or catch a talk! 🧵

Excited to chat with @olive_jy_song live next week on stage at @aiDotEngineer about MiniMax 3! It’ll be a fun one, come check it out :)
MiniMax (official)@MiniMax_AI

next week at @aiDotEngineer, we are joining @togethercompute for a conversation on what goes into running agents at scale. @olive_jy_song, Research Lead, RL at MiniMax, and @realDanFu, VP of Kernels at Together AI, will walk through both sides of M3: the training decisions behind long-context reasoning and tool use, and the infrastructure work needed to serve agentic workloads in production. Wed July 1, 2:50 PM PDT Room 2016, Track 9 Catch you there!

Congrats on the launch! @neilmovva is a top-notch leader and operator - very strong technically and a great grasp of the market. @sailresearchco is going places :)

Samir Menon @blintzbase and I are thrilled to announce Sail @sailresearchco ! We build infrastructure for long-horizon agents: inference served at unbeatable prices-per-token for open models, plus sandboxes designed to run for days, weeks, or longer. We've raised $80M, w/ our seed led by @Sequoia and series A led by @KleinerPerkins. We're using this capital to build the most efficient infrastructure for long-horizon agents. What makes agents so different? Unlike a human waiting at a keyboard (top priority: speed), agents need scale, reliability, and sustainable cost. Sail finds this efficiency everywhere in the stack: we carefully choose our chips, write custom inference engines, and run a global controller that fully utilizes every computer in our fleet. Tight integration from silicon to API lets Sail open up the cost / latency frontier to our customers - the most patient agents can now access 10x more intelligence per dollar. We're excited to be working with great companies like @parallelweb, @detaildotdev,@Jackandjillai, and @quadrillion_ai to deploy long-horizon agents with trillions of tokens. Our team is thoughtful in our engineering craft and relentlessly ambitious in our pursuit of peak performance. We previously trained at companies like NVIDIA, OpenAI, Google, and so many trading firms. Now we're ready to do the work that will define our careers, in the most compute intensive market of all time. Welcome to the era of abundant intelligence. We can't wait to build with you!

Struggling to write Ring Attention on TPUs/GPUs with @khshind was one of the original motivations for KernelBench 😅 It feels full circle with ParallelKernelBench — a dedicated eval to see whether LLMs can write fast multi-GPU kernels 📡 Introducing the latest KernelBench family member: PKB, led by awesome undergrad researchers @opengroundsFX & @NathanPaek9368! (+ the always amazing @simran_s_arora @realDanFu for their guidance 🙏)
Together AI@togethercompute

LLMs write fast single-GPU kernels. Ask for a multi-GPU one and they fall apart. ParallelKernelBench measures how they fail by benchmarking against 87 problems pulled from real codebases including Megatron-LM, DeepSpeed, DeepEP, TensorRT-LLM, NeMo-RL. New research from Willy Chan @asplencmnt @simonguozirui @simran_s_arora and @realDanFu

@askalphaxiv PKB of course builds on great work from friends and collaborators - the original KernelBench from @simonguozirui and @anneouyang, as well as great work on the fundamentals like ParallelKittens by @stuart_sul. Excited to push on this frontier!

Fun fact - this is (my) first paper that I've posted on @askalphaxiv instead of arXiv. arXiv's moderation policies have become increasingly onerous (this one on hold for a month) - alphaXiv has a lot more features and is becoming my go-to! Auto-blog alphaxiv.org/overview/2606.…

Excited to release ParallelKernelBench (PKB), a benchmark for measuring LLMs’ ability to write fast multi-GPU kernels! 😀 Multi-GPU kernel generation compounds several hard problems: - a large parallelism design space - a new communication axis to optimize - and hardware-specific decisions around communication mechanisms Existing kernel-generation benchmarks mostly target single-GPU workloads, so we built PKB to cover real-world multi-GPU workloads (many of which do not have existing optimized solutions). 🧵👇
