Less than three months to go until the midterms, voters are thinking about grocery prices, the Iran war and… datacentres. This week, Jonathan Freedland speaks to historian Jill Lepore about how this latest AI backlash could influence those all-important elections in November. Are we seeing the beginning of the end of the 'artificial state'? Continue reading...

Modern LLMs rely on quantization, pruning, distillation, and faster attention kernels, but production performance often depends most on KV cache management. As context windows grow, the cache consumes significant GPU memory, limiting concurrency, throughput, and latency. Two breakthroughs transformed this challenge: PagedAttention improves memory allocation, while RadixAttention enables efficient prefix reuse. Together, these techniques make […] The post PagedAttention vs. RadixAttention: Optimizing LLM KV Cache Management appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

I understand the pressure on AI companies to rush forward. But employees are right to be concerned Last month, more than a thousand employees at frontier AI companies signed a letter asking the US government to find a way to “pace” AI development, citing the risk of the technology spiraling out of human control as it begins to build itself. They were right to be concerned: just days earlier, two AI models that OpenAI was testing internally escaped the test environment, then autonomously hacked the company Hugging Face and at least three other online services. A few days after that, Anthropic announced that some of their models had also broken out and hacked other companies during testing. Continue reading...
Exclusive: Planning documents show datacentre in north Ockendon will be incompatible with UK net zero targets A “hyperscale” datacentre in outer London would generate more than 1m tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, equivalent to the carbon footprint of 27,000 flights from London to New York, planning documents show. The East Havering Data Centre Campus (EHDCC) in north Ockendon would be one of the largest datacentres in Europe if approved by Havering council, using 218 hectares of green belt to run servers and data storage systems for AI and cloud computing. Its developer, Digital Reef, has described the scheme as “a unique opportunity to create a sustainable datacentre campus of the future”. Continue reading...
