ByteDance Seed and Tsinghua AIR Introduces CUDA Agent: A Large-Scale Agentic RL System for CUDA Kernel Generation

ByteDance Seed and Tsinghua AIR have released CUDA Agent, an agentic reinforcement learning system that trains a large language model to write GPU kernels that beat a compiler. The gap it targets is narrow but stubborn: frontier models already produce correct CUDA, they just produce slow CUDA. On KernelBench, the base model Seed1.6 passes 74.0% […] The post ByteDance Seed and Tsinghua AIR Introduces CUDA Agent: A Large-Scale Agentic RL System for CUDA Kernel Generation appeared first on MarkTechPost.

A Specialized Semismooth Newton Method for Kernel-Based Optimal Transport

Kernel-based optimal transport (OT) estimators offer an alternative, functional estimation procedure to address OT problems from samples. Recent works suggest that these estimators are more statistically efficient than plug-in (linear programming-based) OT estimators when comparing probability measures in high-dimensions [Vacher et al., 2021]. Unfortunately, that statistical benefit comes at a very steep computational price: because their computation relies on the short-step interior-point method (SSIPM), which comes with a large iteration count in practice, these estimators quickly become…

MVICAD2: Multi-View Independent Component Analysis with Delays and Dilations

Machine learning techniques in multi-view settings face significant challenges, particularly when integrating heterogeneous data, aligning feature spaces, and managing view-specific biases. These issues are prominent in neuroscience, where data from multiple subjects exposed to the same stimuli are analyzed to uncover brain activity dynamics. In magnetoencephalography (MEG), where signals are captured at the scalp level, estimating the brain’s underlying sources is crucial, especially in group studies where sources are assumed to be similar for all subjects. Common methods, such as Multi-View…

GRPO Beyond English: A Large-Scale Study of GRPO in Non-English and Multilingual Settings

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR), often optimized with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), has become a central recipe for improving the reasoning capabilities of pretrained language models but current studies remain heavily English-centric. We conduct a large-scale empirical study of multilingual and non-English GRPO across a wide range of base models, training languages, and different reasoning language rewards. We find that training to reason in the native language often leaves only a small gap to training for English reasoning. We further observe strong…
