Unifying Autoregressive and Diffusion-Based Language Models

Welcome to the AI research bites. This series of short and informative talks showcases cutting-edge research work from ServiceNow AI Research team. The AI Research Bites are open to all, especially those interested in keeping up with the fast-paced AI research community. In this presentation, Pierre-André Noël will show that, if you squint hard enough, autoregressive language models are a special case of diffusion models. We make this idea more concrete by introducing hyperschedules, allowing different token positions to get different noise levels.

New in Grafana Alerting: a faster, more scalable way to manage your alerts in Grafana

Effective alerting is the backbone of any observability strategy. But as your systems grow, managing hundreds or even thousands of rules can become a significant challenge. And when something goes wrong, the last thing you want is to fight with your tooling. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new alert rules list page, which we built to provide a faster, more intuitive, and scalable experience for teams of all sizes!

Getting started with MongoDB dashboards

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database used by many modern web applications. Once your web application is up and running, you might find you need to monitor the application data for operational purposes. For example, you may need to report on user sign-ups, or monitor for problems like invalid data. SquaredUp is an easy-to-use dashboard that plugs directly into your MongoDB database to visualize and monitor your data.

Patterns for safe and efficient cache purging in CI/CD pipelines

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."—Phil Karlton In the age of increasingly frequent deploys, edge caching, and Jamstack adoption, caching plays a key role across the software delivery life cycle. In build and CI pipelines, caching compiled assets or dependencies helps reduce compute costs, speed up job runtimes, and lower the environmental impact (regarding energy usage) of repeated builds.
