Simple, safe way to store and distribute tensors

Tensor
In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a multilinear relationship between sets of algebraic objects associated with a vector space. Tensors may map between different objects such as vectors, scalars, and even other tensors. There are many types of tensors, including scalars and vectors, dual vectors, multilinear maps between vector spaces, and even some operations such as the dot product. Tensors are defined independent of any basis, although they are often referred to by their components in a basis related to a particular coordinate system; those components form an array, which can be thought of as a high-dimensional matrix.
The Bitter Lesson is coming for Tokenization
Highlights the desire to replace tokenization with a general method that better leverages compute and data. We'll see tokenization's fragility and review the Byte Latent Transformer arch.
Ditto - Introducing Safer FFI
Introducing safer_ffi, a Rust framework that allows you to write foreign function interfaces (FFI) without polluting your Rust code with `unsafe` while improving readability.

🚀🚀🚀 Excited to share that our Brain&AI team is releasing NeuralSet! 🚀🚀🚀 A fast, simple, and scalable package for Neuro-AI: 📦 `pip install neuralset` 💻 Code: https://lnkd.in/eamwxBUY 📄 Paper: https://lnkd.in/epbreyDy As a PhD student working extensively with neuro recordings and AI models, I find this library to be a game-changer. This has been the common backbone for the past several years of our projects (TribeV2, DynaDiff, Brain2Qwerty & more!). This library turns raw neuro-recordings into AI-ready tensors. It enables: - Event-driven processing with typed, validated DataFrames. - Multimodal extractors for fMRI, EEG, MEG, EMG, and iEEG + text, image, audio, and video. - Torch-native segmentation for efficient batching. - Caching and remote compute through exca. Huge thanks to everyone on the team who made this release possible. If you're working on brain decoding, encoding models, or foundation models for neuroscience, don’t miss this! 🧠 Jean-Rémi King Hubert Banville Katie Begany Corentin Bel Yohann Benchetrit Teon Brooks Marlène Careil Simon Dahan Stéphane d'Ascoli Alexandre Défossez Linnea Evanson, PhD Pablo J.

How to Deploy AI Agents for Safety

Curious what part you are referring to with the rigid separation. Do you mean the transport layer? for https://t.co/8FTKZKOQh0, i've been using the hidden "in memory" transport in their SDKs and it erases the transport layer. It just makes the calls a local function call.— Benjamin Eckel (@bhelx) March 7, 2025

The Rust programming language is well known for its ownership-based type system, which offers strong guarantees like memory safety and data race freedom. However, Rust also provides unsafe escape hatches, for which safety is not guaranteed automatically ...
