Check out this awesome work led by @reeselevine and many other great ucsc students!
There was so much work to make this run interesting models across many systems! Check it out (and try out the demos in the blog post!)
WebGPU support in llama.cpp is here! Check out our blog post introducing it: reeselevine.github.io/llamas…
Run local models in your browser, with GPU acceleration. No data leaves your computer!
Thanks to everyone who's made this possible, especially @ggerganov

Wrote an oral history on the time Spanish Fork accidentally booked @RATM to perform at the fairgrounds. This month marks 30 years since the show. The city has roughly tripled in size since then, but the story continues to live on in Spanish Fork lore.

blast from the past. The most fun I had discovering the convergence algorithm with my colleague Manjunath @keveman. arxiv.org/abs/2607.11636
Cool approach! gimletlabs.ai/blog/formally-…

New! We hijack Claude Code(Sonnet 4.6,5/Opus 4.8) & Codex(GPT5.5) to achieve RCE when merely used to defensively assess an open-source/third-party library with prompt injections disseminated across its codebase. All without any skills, JSON, MCP, or config files required. Link ⬇️

The #PLDI2026 main conference kicks off tomorrow in Boulder, CO!
We have stellar keynotes lined up for each day on:
- PL design in the ML era (Wed),
- AI validation with testing and proof engineering (Thu), and
- Quantum through a PL lens (Fri).

The PAgE'26 @ #PLDI2026 program is live!
PAgE is packed with great talks on formal methods for AI, agentic code reasoning and debugging, self-healing agentic programs, and more.
Join us Monday, June 15 in Boulder, CO for PAgE: 🔗pldi26.sigplan.org/home/page…

AMD researchers have proposed Fleet, a multi-level task model that maps megakernel computation to memory scopes, introducing a new abstraction that binds work and data to a chiplet and enables coordination through its shared L2 cache.

The deadline for CGO's SRC has been extended to Dec. 15!
It will be in Australia, so it would be awesome to go, but there's a virtual track, because travel can be tough these days.
It's a great way to get some feedback and meet other compiler folks!

Excited to be included on @TIME's list of the TIME100 AI of 2025!
Grateful to the @AINowInstitute for supporting my work on addressing the safety revisionism of AI in defense and safety-critical contexts where safety has been obscured with little to no accountability. #TIME100AI
Introducing TIME100 AI: Leaders in artificial intelligence. See who made the list: time.com/collections/time100…
Not sure who is still here, but check out this post about GPU memory models: including testing, specs, and a cool case study!
Lots of great co-authors, especially @h_poncedeleon + team, who are doing some awesome work on GPU model checking.

I am looking to hire interns for fall with experience in Triton and familiarity with gpu architecture. If you are a PhD student with these skillsets please DM me, I will send further details.
RTs are appreciated🙏

I am looking to recruit a PhD student (fully funded at UK home tuition rate) to work on automated testing and verification of machine learning compilers and runtimes! Deadline: 30th April. Please spread the word! Details here: doc.ic.ac.uk/~afd/PhD-Advert…

With Reshabh K Sharma, Peli de Halleux, and Shraddha Barke, we just released "PromptPex: Automatic Test Generation for Language Model Prompts"(arxiv.org/abs/2503.05070).
Repo: github.com/microsoft/promptp…. PromptPex is a tool to generate and evaluate unit tests for an AI model prompt.

I am looking for 1-2 PhD students interested broadly in computer systems, compilers, and/or PL! If you would like to do your PhD in a vibrant city with great weather, next to the sea 🌊, and the mountains 🏔️, make sure to apply to UCLA and mark my name as a potential advisor!

Just in time for halloween! Check out the scary things that can happen w.r.t. memory consistency when you link two binaries that were compiled using different atomic memory mappings 😱😱😱😱😱
It was a really fun project to be a part of and Luke did a great job leading!
Lots of great engagement @splashcon after presenting our work on Mix Testing, thanks again to my co-authors Brotherston, Dijkstra, @afd_icl, Smith, @Tyler_UCSC, and @wicko3 dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36897…
