Serving DeepSeek-V4: why million-token context is an inference systems problem

DeepSeek-V4's hybrid attention design (CSA, HCA, SWA) compresses KV cache, turning million-token context from a model challenge into a serving-systems problem. Together AI's early bring-up on NVIDIA HGX B200 reveals how cache policy, prefix caching, and endpoint profiles impact long-context workloads.

How a Congressional Primary Became a Proxy Battle Over A.I.

The Democratic primary in New York's 12th Congressional District, featuring candidate Alex Bores, has turned into a proxy war between AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic over regulation. Bores, an advocate for AI regulation, faces opposition from a super PAC funded by OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, while Anthropic-backed groups support him. The race reflects the deep national divide over AI regulation.

Long AI Short AGI

While Silicon Valley pushes the narrative that AGI will capture all future value, the author argues that AI models are rapidly commoditizing. Historical parallels show that infrastructure providers capture pennies on the dollar, while application-layer companies like Stripe and Shopify become the defining winners. The most important AI companies may not even be founded yet, and success will come from owning customer relationships and proprietary workflows, not marginally better models.
