New paper from Stanford, Together AI, UIUC, and Meta introduces Hybrid Reasoning Agents. These AI models think mostly in a hidden internal way (faster and cheaper), and only use normal text when they need tools or give the final answer.

Stanford, Together AI, UIUC, and Meta have introduced Hybrid Reasoning Agents that perform most reasoning internally, using normal text only for tool interactions or final answers. On benchmarks across math, science, med…

friends don't let friends quantize their kv cache

Avoid using 4‑bit (Q4) quantization for the key‑value cache in LLMs, as it causes early and compounding degradation of model quality. 8‑bit (Q8) quantization is acceptable when memory is limited and the context length st…
