Anthony Scodary posted thisI have a new company to share, built on ten years of production lessons from shipping voice AI in industry. In 2012, after leaving NASA/JPL, I moved into pure machine learning, back when deep learning was still fairly obscure. At Gridspace, we built early speech AI when scaling any machine learning application was novel. Over the years we shipped Memo (AI notetaking and video conferencing before Zoom existed), Sift (real-time analysis for financial services, scaled to billions of minutes of audio), and Grace (the first neural conversational voice agent). But every pilot and production rollout ran into the same wall: reliability and robustness problems that had little to do with the AI itself and everything to do with integration hell. This month, we're launching a new company called Guava to build on the production lessons from the last decade of operating voice AI at banks and hospitals. Guava is a pure developer SDK, utterly maxed out on naturalness, latency, and robustness. I'm excited to share more in the coming months. In the meantime, if you're curious, take a look at goguava.ai

Anthony Scodary reposted thisAnthony Scodary reposted thisIt is interesting that the new DeepSeek AI v3.1 talks about the UE8M0 FP8 data format, which is nothing but the logarithmic number system (LNS), meaning it has only exponent and no mantissa. While DeepSeek v 3.1 didn't entirely train on that format, we have a multiplicative weights update (Madam) for training entirely in LNS format that was done several years ago while at NVIDIA It yields maximum hardware efficiency with no accuracy loss https://lnkd.in/gu3V4BN8 Logarithmic number system achieves a higher computational efficiency by transforming expensive multiplication operations in the network layers to inexpensive additions in their logarithmic representations. In addition, it attains a wide dynamic range and can provide a good approximation. Also, logarithmic number system is biologically inspired, and there is evidence that our brains use such a format for storage. However, using standard SGD or Adam optimization for training in logarithmic format is challenging, and requires intermediate updates and optimization states to be stored in full precision (FP32). To overcome this, we proposed Multiple Weights update (Madam) that instead updates directly in the logarithmic format and leads to good training outcomes. Our LNS-Madam when compared to training in FP32 and FP8 formats, LNS-Madam reduces the energy consumption by over 90% and 55%, respectively, while maintaining accuracy.

Anthony Scodary liked thisAnthony Scodary liked thisThanks to Edison Electric Institute for again handing me the reins to Waffle Wednesday (if you know, you know) at the National Key Accounts Workshop with two illuminating and, dare I say, entertaining panels on a hot topic: the intersection of automation and electrification and what it means for the grid. Waymo gave us a glimpse of what autonomous vehicle (AV) charging looks like today — load profiles, site selection, flexibility — and a candid conversation with utility partners about how they are planning to serve these emerging customers. Thanks to Brent Wise (Waymo), Jennifer Cannon (Arizona Public Service - APS), Jason Haines (Duke Energy Corporation), and Julie Tzeng (Con Edison). We then turned to the developers building out the charging infrastructure backbone to serve automated and shared fleets. Charlie Jardine (NEO Infrastructure), Catherine Canetti (Terawatt), Thomas Ashley (Voltera), and Jake Potent (Revel) shared where the growth is happening — and what utilities need to know about these new players coming to their territories. The throughline: automation is an accelerant to electrification. And these aren't just EV loads — they're the beginning of a deeply interdependent relationship between transportation services and the grid. Thank you to Voltera for sponsoring the session, and to the EEI team for bringing together 900+ energy professionals for four days of this kind of conversation. #Electrification #AutonomousVehicles #EVCharging #EnergyIndustry #FleetElectrification #EEINKA

Anthony Scodary liked thisExcited to finally see this multi-year effort published & featured by Science Signaling! Through some clever techniques we identify a potential theapeutic target for both autommune/inflammatory disorders and pathologic bone loss (osteoporosis). Awesome seeing this cross the finish line Gabriel Mbalaviele!Anthony Scodary liked thisExcited to share our latest work published in Science Signaling! Our team has uncovered how the NLRP3 inflammasome regulates osteoclast function and drives inflammatory bone loss. By identifying molecular brakes, such as Tmem178, that keep this process in check, we're providing new insights into the intersection of inflammation and bone biology. A huge congratulations to Khushpreet Kaur and the entire team for driving this work forward. We are especially pleased to see that the study has been featured as a Focus article, recognizing its broader impact in the field. https://lnkd.in/gWMzwSPU https://lnkd.in/gqmFCPrn Khushpreet Kaur, PhD, chun wang, Deborah Veis, Roberta Faccio, Nick Semenkovich, MD PhD, kunjan khanna, Yousef Abu-Amer, Yael Alippe, Mohamed G.

A couple of weeks ago, Nick Horob proposed the idea of building a tool that would analyze the sentiment of the Market Talk forum of AgTalk (for non-ag folks, it's an old school forum that's a bastion of poorly documented knowledge). It just so happens that I've been scraping data from AgTalk for nearly a year now, so I already had the data. https://agtalkpulse.com/ My biggest surprise from building it was how neutral the average sentiments are! Here's a quick breakdown of how it works: 1) A crawler consistently checks the active pages of AgTalk's Market Talk forum, scraping and persisting the posts. 2) When a new post is persisted, the Anthropic structured data API is used to assess a sentiment score and extract crop mentions and category tags. 3) A simple NextJS dashboard exposes the data for exploration. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to share it! This was really just a small toy project so I could use my NAS a bit more! I'm happy to share the data with anyone who is interested.

🚀 Defense Tech Gets a $17M Reality Check While most startups chase consumer apps, Seattle-based Integrate just secured $17 million to solve a problem that's been plaguing defense contractors for decades. The challenge? Coordinating massive multi-year defense programs like the F-35 Lightning II, where thousands of partners must stay synchronized while keeping classified details secure. Think about it: How do you manage tens of satellites across dozens of missions when traditional project management tools weren't built for classified environments? Integrate's solution addresses this head-on: → Secure collaboration for classified defense projects → Real-time synchronization across thousands of partners → Purpose-built for complex, multi-year deployments The numbers speak volumes: They've already landed a $25 million, five-year contract with the U.S. Space Force. This isn't just another funding round. It's a signal that Silicon Valley is finally taking defense modernization seriously as geopolitical tensions with Russia and China intensify. The defense industry's digital transformation is accelerating, and companies that can bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and stringent security requirements are positioned to lead. At Stahl Metall, we understand the critical importance of precision and reliability in defense applications. Our advanced metallurgical solutions support defense contractors in developing robust, high-performance components for next-generation military systems.

Couldn’t be happier with how well this article by Barratt Dewey encapsulates what we are working toward at Integrate. I don’t think it’s possible to underestimate how much of the United States Government runs on program and project management. While the headlines are usually about flashy budget increases and massive new programs, the work still has to get managed, and that’s largely happening the same way it was 50 years ago. We aim to fix that.
