At Hot Chips 2026, AMD detailed the Helios platform of its MI400 series, pairing EPYC Venice CPUs with Instinct MI455X GPUs and Pensando Vulcano AI NICs, and stressed co-designing AI infrastructure. Fujitsu introduced Monaka, a 2nm server CPU with 144 cores aimed at energy efficiency and modern AI workloads.

Separately, a new protocol demonstrated byte-identical inference for a 72B-parameter LLM across NVIDIA H100 and AMD MI300X, attaching each output to a portable, offline-verifiable signed receipt. SIMURG, a numpy-only monitor, watches LLM token streams character by character for decoding corruption like repetition loops, cross-lingual drift, and structural garbage, releasing the first 350 characters only after verification.

For code review, Provensql compares two SQL queries and returns EQUIVALENT, DIFFERENT, SCHEMA_CHANGE, or UNKNOWN; it never returns a false EQUIVALENT, produced zero false positives across 511 mutations, and uses an SMT engine for the conjunctive fragment with counterexample search as fallback. In bioinformatics, Bonsai offers a distortion-free tree method for single-cell RNA sequencing, addressing t-SNE and UMAP structure hallucinations by representing cells as leaves of a reconstructed tree.

On the frontend, yapyak is a Vite-based i18n compiler that uses source strings as keys and auto-generates translations on save, with SSR adapters for TanStack Start and React Router. Oj is a Rust native replacement for Vite, compatible with existing config and plugins but with faster cold starts and lower memory use. A browser-native media processing report showed a 92% success rate was misleading because out-of-limit videos were excluded from the denominator; including user attempts and adjusting admission control by device capabilities raised task completion by up to 6%.

IBM's Technology Lifecycle Services built a production multi-agent system that gives employees a single interface for inquiries, emphasizing user identity preservation, data access challenges, and cross-team alignment.
