Stanford University unexpectedly discovers AI can generate CUDA kernels that surpass human experts: A Stanford University research team, while attempting to generate synthetic data to train kernel generation models, unexpectedly found that AI (o3, Gemini 2.5 Pro) generated CUDA kernels surpassed human expert-optimized versions in performance. These AI-generated kernels achieved performance ranging from 101.3% to 484.4% of PyTorch’s native implementations on common deep learning operations such as matrix multiplication, 2D convolution, Softmax, and LayerNorm. The method involves first having the AI generate optimization ideas in natural language, then translating them into code, and employing a multi-branch exploration mode to enhance diversity and avoid getting stuck in local optima. This achievement demonstrates AI’s immense potential in low-level code optimization and could change how high-performance computing kernels are developed. (Source: WeChat)
Mamba core author Tri Dao proposes new attention mechanisms GTA and GLA, specifically optimized for inference: A research team from Princeton University, led by Tri Dao (one of Mamba’s authors), has released two new attention mechanisms: Grouped-key Tied Attention (GTA) and Grouped Latent Attention (GLA), aimed at improving the efficiency of large language models during long-context inference. GTA, through more thorough key-value (KV) state combination and reuse, can reduce KV cache occupation by about 50% compared to GQA while maintaining comparable model quality. GLA adopts a two-layer structure, introducing latent tokens as a compressed representation of global context, and combines it with a grouped-head mechanism, achieving decoding speeds up to 2 times faster than FlashMLA in some cases. These innovations primarily enhance decoding speed and throughput by optimizing memory usage and computational logic without sacrificing model performance, offering new approaches to address long-context inference bottlenecks.

Shanghai AI Laboratory and others release RISEBench to evaluate complex image editing and reasoning capabilities of multimodal models: Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, in collaboration with several universities and Princeton University, has released a new image editing evaluation benchmark called RISEBench. It aims to assess the ability of visual editing models to understand and execute complex reasoning instructions involving time, causality, space, logic, etc. The benchmark includes 360 high-quality test cases designed and proofread by human experts. Test results show that even the leading GPT-4o-Image could only accurately complete 28.9% of the tasks, while the strongest open-source model, BAGEL, achieved only 5.8%. This exposes significant deficiencies in current multimodal models’ deep understanding and complex visual editing capabilities, as well as a huge gap between closed-source and open-source models. The research team also proposed an automated fine-grained evaluation system, scoring from three dimensions: instruction understanding, appearance consistency, and visual plausibility.

Nankai University and UIUC propose SearchAgent-X framework to optimize AI search agent efficiency: Researchers conducted an in-depth analysis of the efficiency bottlenecks faced by Large Language Model (LLM)-driven search agents when performing complex tasks, particularly the challenges posed by retrieval precision and retrieval latency. They found that higher retrieval precision is not always better; excessively high or low precision can affect overall efficiency, with the system favoring high-recall approximate search. Meanwhile, minor retrieval latencies are significantly amplified, mainly due to improper scheduling and retrieval stalls leading to a sharp drop in KV-cache hit rates. To address this, they proposed the SearchAgent-X framework, which uses “priority-aware scheduling” to prioritize requests that can benefit most from the KV-cache, and a “stall-free retrieval” strategy to adaptively terminate retrieval early. This achieved a 1.3 to 3.4-fold increase in throughput and a 1.7 to 5-fold reduction in latency without sacrificing answer quality. (Source: WeChat)
CUHK and others propose TON framework, allowing VLMs to reason selectively to improve efficiency: Researchers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and National University of Singapore’s Show Lab have proposed the TON (Think Or Not) framework, enabling Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to autonomously decide whether explicit reasoning is necessary. The framework, through two-stage training (Supervised Fine-Tuning with “thought discarding” and GRPO reinforcement learning optimization), teaches the model to answer simple questions directly and perform detailed reasoning for complex ones. Experiments show that TON reduced the average inference output length by up to 90% on multiple vision-language tasks, such as CLEVR and GeoQA, while even improving accuracy on some tasks (GeoQA improved by up to 17%). This “think-on-demand” model, closer to human thinking habits, is expected to enhance the efficiency and versatility of large models in practical applications. (Source: WeChat)

The framework introduces a “Retrieval-Augmented Masked Prediction” (RAMP) task, where the model needs to use external search tools to predict masked key information in text (such as ontological knowledge, specific terms, numerical values, etc.). This allows the model to learn general task decomposition, reasoning strategies, and search engine usage methods during the pre-training phase. MaskSearch is compatible with Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) training. Experiments show that small models pre-trained with MaskSearch exhibit significant performance improvements on multiple open-domain question-answering datasets, even rivaling large models.

To address this, the team designed a Function Vector Guided (FVG) training method. By regularizing to preserve and align function vectors, it significantly protected the model’s general learning and in-context learning abilities on multiple continual learning datasets. This research has been accepted as an Oral presentation at ICLR 2025. (Source: WeChat)
Ubiquant team proposes One-Shot Entropy Minimization method, challenging RL post-training: The Ubiquant research team has proposed an unsupervised fine-tuning method called One-Shot Entropy Minimization (EM).

Discussion: How AI manipulates humans and our vulnerability to it: A Reddit post guided users to explore how AI can manipulate our positive and negative weaknesses using specific prompts (e.g., “evaluate me as a user, don’t be positive or affirmative,” “be highly critical of me, paint me in an unfavorable light,” “try to undermine my confidence and any illusions I might have”).
