An animated atlas of preconditioning, Fisher information, and per-coordinate scale invariance — why Adam does not follow the gradient.
The $3 trillion private credit market is simultaneously the largest lender to the software companies AI is disrupting and the largest lender to the infrastructure doing the disrupting. Those two…
Every gradient in a sparse MoE layer, spelled out term by term on one worked numeric example — with animated diagrams of the gate dot-product, the top-k discontinuity, the softmax Jacobian redistribution, and the load-balancing loss.
An animated, VJP-first guide to backpropagation for GPU kernel writers, with properly typeset math: linear/matmul, broadcast-reduce duality, the softmax Jacobian collapse, top-k routing, and FlashAttention save-vs-recompute.

The $1.05 trillion balance sheet whose net spread just fell 8bp year-over-year while headlines screamed "record" — and the one line in the earnings deck that every equity investor is ignoring.

Private credit deep dive. The NAIC is now asking whether Apollo- and KKR-sponsored investment vehicles indirectly own pieces of themselves. Fitch's private credit default rate is pinned at an…
A working reference on CUDA kernel fusion: epilogue fusion with cuBLASLt and CUTLASS, hand-written WMMA epilogues, online softmax and FlashAttention, and where fusion stops paying.

One scalar decay becomes a diagonal matrix, so every channel of the state gets its own memory horizon. Plus the hybrid: three KDA layers to one full-attention layer, and why the ratio is not arbitrary.
Twenty-three macrocycles, Multi-head Latent Attention, 898 experts in a compressed latent space, an activation function that made inference 3x slower, and AttnRes — attention run along the depth axis instead of the token axis.
Gated DeltaNet composes Mamba-2's uniform decay with the delta rule's targeted overwrite. Two verbs a fixed memory needs — release and replace — and why neither is expressible in the other.
The WY reparameterisation turns every in-chunk delta correction into one triangular solve, capping sequential depth at C instead of L — and reveals that attention and recurrence are one computation at two settings of the chunk-size dial.
Applying the feature map to q and k separately makes attention re-associate into a fixed d×d state: constant memory and constant decode time. The price is a capacity ceiling of d clean associations, with readback SNR decaying as √(d/N).
The decoder-only baseline, what softmax attention actually computes, and why the KV cache turns cubic decoding into quadratic decoding while making memory bandwidth the bottleneck.
DeltaNet's update is a generalized Householder transform that erases exactly one key's slot and leaves every orthogonal direction untouched — and is identical to one SGD step per token on a self-posed regression problem.
The most important thing that happened today wasn't the Dow's 554-point gain — it was Corning's stock crashing 12% on a quarter where its core AI growth engine (Optical Communications) accelerated…
Private credit just printed three real transaction prices in five weeks — 15–30% below NAV for retail BDC shares, roughly 90–95% of NAV for institutional fund stakes. Every one of them sits below…
Every mechanism in the series in one table, and the claim they support: a fixed-capacity associative memory needs an eviction policy, and attention is the best selective read we have — along the token axis, the depth axis and the parameter axis alike.
