AI workload optimization startup Callosum raises $100M

SiliconANGLE 1 month ago 38 ● 3 sources

Callosum announced a $100 million funding round to support its cloud service, Tailored Inference, for optimizing AI inference workloads. Tailored Inference claims it can complete some inference tasks 3.7 times faster than GPT-5.6 Luna while improving output quality. The funding enables it to further route task steps to different models and deploy them to the most efficient chips, including integration with Cerebras WSE-3 Turbo accelerators.

Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-DSpark Draft Models That Deliver Up to 3.18x Faster Decoding Without Changing Model Outputs

MarkTechPost 1 month ago 37 ● 2 sources

Liquid AI released DSpark draft model checkpoints for three LFM2.5 targets by adding a ~300M-parameter speculative-decoding drafter that proposes a 9-token block for the target to verify. It reports up to 3.18x faster decoding on an H100 while keeping greedy-decoded outputs identical and benchmark accuracy unchanged. The checkpoints require self-hosting with DSpark-enabled llama.cpp or SGLang, and speedups vary by acceptance rate (notably lower on MoE workloads).

Up to 3.2x Faster Inference with LFM2.5-DSpark

Hugging Face 1 month ago 30 ● 2 sources

Liquid AI released DSpark draft model checkpoints for three LFM2.5 models, adding a speculative-decoding path intended to speed up inference without changing greedy output quality. The LFM2.5-2.6B checkpoints reportedly cut multi-tool function-calling latency by an average of 57% while also delivering up to 2.87x on-device throughput on an M4 Max. This results in day-one DSpark support in llama.cpp and SGLang and open-source LFM-compatible integration plus faster throughput across the listed benchmarks.

Stop the token bleed: building token-efficient multi-agent systems

The New Stack 1 month ago 42

Token-efficient multi-agent systems article argues that production costs come less from the model itself and more from workflow inefficiencies like repeated retrievals, duplicate prompts, oversized contexts, and redundant model calls. It proposes a context budget capped at 2500 tokens when building the context for the final LLM call. The recommended architecture changes by adding routing, semantic caching, single retrieval shared across agents, context budgeting, token estimation telemetry, and model selection so the LLM is used only as a final, most-expensive step.
