    Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro UltraSpeed claims 1,000+ tokens/s on a 1T model

    AIXiaomi MiMo and TileRT released MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, which the post says reaches output speeds above 1,000 tokens/s on a 1 trillion parameter MoE model. The post says this runs on a single standard 8-GPGPU node rather than wafer-scale or pure on-chip SRAM hardware. UltraSpeed access is application-based from Jun 8 to Jun 23 (PDT), and the UltraSpeed API costs 3x the standard price.

    Why it matters: The post specifies the hardware setup behind the claimed speed, which matters for judging whether the approach can be replicated on standard GPU nodes.

    Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed reaches 1000+ tokens/s on a 1T model

    AIXiaomi and TileRT released MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, reporting decode speeds above 1000 tokens/s on a 1-trillion-parameter model using a single standard 8-GPU node. The API is priced at 3x MiMo-V2.5-Pro and is available by application only from June 9 to June 23, 2026. The speedup relies on FP4 quantization of MoE Experts, DFlash speculative decoding with an average coding acceptance length of 6.30, and TileRT compute kernels.

    Why it matters: The post traces how FP4 quantization, DFlash speculative decoding, and TileRT kernels combine to reach 1000+ tokens/s on a single 8-GPU node, which is useful for teams weighing inference throughput.

    MiniMax explains why its LLM failed to generate the name Ma Jiaqi

    AIMiniMax says its M2 series could not output the name Ma Jiaqi, a failure it traced to post-training data that rarely included the token. Its tests found the input embedding stayed stable while the lm_head weights for low-frequency tokens drifted during SFT. A synthetic full-vocabulary repetition dataset restored generation for affected tokens and reduced Japanese-to-Russian confusion from 47% to 1%.

    Why it matters: The post traces a community-noticed token failure through tokenizer, embedding, and lm_head tests, showing how post-training data coverage can cause low-frequency token drift.

    OpenAI model disproves Erdős's unit distance conjecture in planar geometry

    AIAn OpenAI model disproved Erdős's longstanding planar unit distance conjecture, which Paul Erdős posed in 1946, by discovering a new family of constructions that performs better than the square grids mathematicians had long assumed. Mark Chen says the proof draws on algebraic number theory and describes it as the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

    Why it matters: The post names the specific open problem and the approach used, giving readers a concrete case of AI producing a research proof in mathematics.
