Twitch is Mining Peoples' Streams to Train Amazon's AI

404 Media 2 months ago 4 ● 3 sources

Twitch will use streamers’ channel content to train Amazon’s generative AI models unless users opt out in settings. The opt-out toggle appears in the bottom of users’ security settings and defaults to being allowed. Users who disable it will prevent their streams, VODs, clips, stream chats, and channel text/images from being used in future Amazon model training, though some AI features like AutoMod and captioning may still use data without training.

AllenAI Open Instruct Tulu 3 Post-Training with SFT, DPO, RLVR, GRPO, and Verifier-Based Evaluation

MarkTechPost 2 months ago 44

AllenAI’s tutorial shows how to run an end-to-end post-training pipeline for a compact instruction-tuned language model on the Open Instruct framework, covering SFT, DPO, and GRPO with verifier-based evaluation for math answers. It adapts the original multi-GPU Tulu 3 setup to fit within a 16 GB runtime. As a result, the workflow keeps Open Instruct’s optimization logic while swapping out distributed training pieces (vLLM/Ray/DeepSpeed/async queues) for lightweight Hugging Face and PyTorch code suited to Colab.

Booksellers suspect AI firms are buying and then destroying rare books

Ars Technica 2 months ago 31 ● 7 sources

Booksellers suspect AI firms are buying rare books and then destroying the physical copies after removing pages to scan them for training AI models. The practice is described as involving wood chippers and cropping, scanning, and trashing torn-out pages. As a result, some physical copies may be lost permanently beyond what has been reported so far.

Inside the Data Bottleneck Slowing Visual and Physical AI

Wiley Science and Engineering Content Hub 2 months ago 7

A white paper from IEEE Spectrum and Wiley reports how more than 700 practitioners build visual and physical AI and why models fail. It says 78% of teams already see measurable value from visual and physical AI while 74% view the field as underinvested. The report argues that successful teams spend nearly 3x more time on data work and that data curation—not larger model architectures or collecting more data—drives production outcomes.

Meta stopped worrying about distillation and just shipped the pipeline

The New Stack 2 months ago 46 ● 4 sources

Meta released Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter open-weight model distilled from Muse Spark and shipped as a complete distillation pipeline with licensing and deployment artifacts. It is designed to fit on a 24GB machine. This makes enterprise model management shift toward tracking both the upstream “teacher” and downstream “student” refresh cadence, quantization, paired speculative decoding artifacts, and licenses rather than treating distillation as a single generic technique.

DocLang: a markup language for LLMs

IBM Research 2 months ago 7

Docling researchers released DocLang, an XML sub-language intended for LLMs to interpret document structure directly. The new design explicitly maps each semantic token to a single LLM token, with the DocLang syntax vocabulary capped at about 1,000 tokens. This shifts work from later, error-prone structure recovery to a canonical, machine-native representation that can reduce token usage and lower latency/inference costs.
