Subtopic Small Models · Vision Language · Quantization Takeaways − Mitsuba is a ternary 1.58-bit quantization of Qwen3.8-27B, shrunk to 7.3 GB for a single 16 GB GPU. Purpose-built for ComfyUI: image to prompt generation for Stable Diffusion, Krea, and video pipelines.
Takeaways − Red Hat AI released an FP8 quantized build of NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B A3B. Cuts GPU memory and disk by roughly 50% versus the BF16 reference weights.
August brought new model support, faster Function calls, and major improvements across Modal Sandboxes. Here are the highlights. 🤖 Day-zero support for Kimi K3, Qwen 3.8, GLM 5.3, and GLM 5.3 Flash Explore four frontier open-weight models now supported on Modal Auto Endpoints.
Today we're announcing the public preview of preemptible compute for Together GPU Clusters, available on Kubernetes clusters in all regions. Preemptible nodes give teams a lower-cost way to run interruption-tolerant work — short experiments, inference bursts, batch jobs — on the same GPU infrastructure they already use, billed sub-hourly at a flat 50% of the on-demand rate.
The kernels team at Together recently received access to the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform. We spent the past few days digging through the new ISA and poking the chip with micros.
We went looking for what companies are actually building with AI. The answer was not more chatbots. It was drones carrying diagnostic samples, driverless Frito-Lay trucks, AI-guided flight paths, repair copilots, and rugged GPU laptops in Ukraine.
