    Optimizing Muse Spark Open on TPU v7 with SGLang-TorchTPU

    The post describes ExecuTorch's new WebGPU backend, which lets PyTorch models exported once to a .pte file via torch.export run in any WebGPU-enabled browser through a WebAssembly runtime, covering LLMs, vision-language, segmentation, depth, detection, super-resolution, speech-to-text and on-device LoRA/DiReFT fine-tuning. On an Apple M1 Pro in Chrome, WebGPU was 4–7× faster than ExecuTorch's Wasm/XNNPACK CPU path on prefill and 2–10× faster on decode, with all data staying on the device. The backend is still in early development, and the post links an ExecuTorch WebGPU Playground and Hugging Face repos with .pte files and export recipes.

    Show HN: Deedglass – Verify AI Agent SQL Changes Using Postgres WAL

    Deedglass is an open-source, self-hosted tool that sits between AI agents and the systems they modify: rules decide each tool call, a check compares what the target actually changed against what the agent reported (Claimed, Checked or Proven), and each result is sealed as a signed record verifiable offline. Its demo shows an agent reporting a 1-row UPDATE while a legacy trigger changed 301 rows in the same transaction, caught via Postgres logical decoding, with an undo that runs only after a person countersigns. It is pre-1.0, has one maintainer, and Proven checks cover Postgres only, requiring wal_level=logical and REPLICA IDENTITY FULL on watched tables.

    Agent Substrate: Advancing Kubernetes for Agents at Scale

    AI agents spend most of their time idle, waiting on a human prompt, a tool result or a model response, and Kubernetes was not built for that. Running one Pod per session holds memory for inactive sessions, while deleting Pods between turns incurs a multi-second cold start and loses the agent's state, and RL post-training hits the same wall. Agent Substrate has now been donated to the foundation named in the source.
