    1. Oh yeah. If you're generating text that could burn anywhere from 0.17 watt hours to 2 watt hours, equal to running this grill for about four seconds. Generating an image add 1.7 watt hours. All that, less than 10 seconds on the grill. But short videos can use far more power. In tests of various open source models, videos took anywhere between 20 watt hours and 110 watt hours. At 110 watt hours, one steamed electric grill steak, about equal to one video generation. I wouldn't eat it, but my dog would. At 220 watt hours, it was looking much more edible. So two video generations equals one pretty good looking steak.

    1. Navigating Failures in Pods With Devices

      Summary: Navigating Failures in Pods With Devices

      This article examines the unique challenges Kubernetes faces in managing specialized hardware (e.g., GPUs, accelerators) within AI/ML workloads, and explores current pain points, DIY solutions, and the future roadmap for more robust device failure handling.

      Why AI/ML Workloads Are Different

      • Heavy Dependence on Specialized Hardware: AI/ML jobs require devices like GPUs, with hardware failures causing significant disruptions.
      • Complex Scheduling: Tasks may consume entire machines or need coordinated scheduling across nodes due to device interconnects.
      • High Running Costs: Specialized nodes are expensive; idle time is wasteful.
      • Non-Traditional Failure Models: Standard Kubernetes assumptions (like treating nodes as fungible, or pods as easily replaceable) don’t apply well; failures can trigger large-scale restarts or job aborts.

      Major Failure Modes in Kubernetes With Devices

      1. Kubernetes Infrastructure Failures

        • Multiple actors (device plugin, kubelet, scheduler) must work together; failures can occur at any stage.
        • Issues include pods failing admission, poor scheduling, or pods unable to run despite healthy hardware.
        • Best Practices: Early restarts, close monitoring, canary deployments, use of verified device plugins and drivers.
      2. Device Failures

        • Kubernetes has limited built-in ability to handle device failures—unhealthy devices simply reduce the allocatable count.
        • Lacks correlation between device failure and pod/container failure.
        • DIY Solutions:
          • Node Health Controllers: Restart nodes if device capacity drops, but these can be slow and blunt.
          • Pod Failure Policies: Pods exit with special codes for device errors, but support is limited and mostly for batch jobs.
          • Custom Pod Watchers: Scripts or controllers watch pod/device status, forcibly delete pods attached to failed devices, prompting rescheduling.
      3. Container Code Failures

        • Kubernetes can only restart containers or reschedule pods, with limited expressiveness about what counts as failure.
        • For large AI/ML jobs: Orchestration wrappers restart failed main executables, aiming to avoid expensive full job restart cycles.
      4. Device Degradation

        • Not all device issues result in outright failure; degraded performance now occurs more frequently (e.g., one slow GPU dragging down training).
        • Detection and remediation are largely DIY; Kubernetes does not yet natively express "degraded" status.

      Current Workarounds & Limitations

      • Most device-failure strategies are manual or require high privileges.
      • Workarounds are often fragile, costly, or disruptive.
      • Kubernetes lacks standardized abstractions for device health and device importance at pod or cluster level.

      Roadmap: What’s Next for Kubernetes

      SIG Node and Kubernetes community are focusing on:

      • Improving core reliability: Ensuring kubelet, device manager, and plugins handle failures gracefully.
      • Making Failure Signals Visible: Initiatives like KEP 4680 aim to expose device health at pod status level.
      • Integration With Pod Failure Policies: Plans to recognize device failures as first-class events for triggering recovery.
      • Pod Descheduling: Enabling pods to be rescheduled off failed/unhealthy devices, even with restartPolicy: Always.
      • Better Handling for Large-Scale AI/ML Workloads: More granular recovery, fast in-place restarts, state snapshotting.
      • Device Degradation Signals: Early discussions on tracking performance degradation, but no mature standard yet.

      Key Takeaway

      Kubernetes remains the platform of choice for AI/ML, but device- and hardware-aware failure handling is still evolving. Most robust solutions are still "DIY," but community and upstream investment is underway to standardize and automate recovery and resilience for workloads depending on specialized hardware.

    1. Automating oral argument

      A Harvard Law graduate who argued before the Supreme Court fed his case briefs into Claude 4 Opus and had it answer the same questions the Justices posed to him. The AI delivered what he called an "outstanding oral argument" with coherent answers and clever responses he hadn't considered, leading him to conclude that AI lawyers could soon outperform even top human advocates at oral argument.

    1. Inter-node communication stalls: high batching is crucial to profitably serve millions of users, and in the context of SOTA reasoning models, many nodes are often required. Inference workloads then resemble more training.

      Oh, so to get the highest throughout, the inference servers also batch operations making it look a bit like training too

      'agent washing' Agentic AI underperforms, getting at most 30% tasks right (Gemini 2.5-Pro) but mostly under 10%.

      Article contains examples of what I think we should agentic hallucination, where not finding a solution, it takes steps to alter reality to fit the solution (e.g. renaming a user so it was the right user to send a message to, as the right user could not be found). Meredith Witthaker is mentioned, but from her statement I saw a key element is missing: most of that access will be in clear text, as models can't do encryption. Meaning not just the model, but the fact of access existing is a major vulnerability.

    1. 1000x Increase in AI Demand
      • NVIDIA’s latest earnings highlight a dramatic surge in AI demand, driven by a shift from simple one-shot inference to more complex, compute-intensive reasoning tasks.
      • Reasoning models require hundreds to thousands of times more computational resources and tokens per task, significantly increasing GPU usage, especially for AI coding agents and advanced applications.
      • Major hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI are experiencing exponential growth in token generation, with Microsoft alone processing over 100 trillion tokens in Q1—a fivefold year-over-year increase.
      • Hyperscalers are deploying nearly 1,000 NVL72 racks (72,000 Blackwell GPUs) per week, and NVIDIA-powered “AI factories” have doubled year-over-year to nearly 100, with the average GPU count per factory also doubling.
      • To meet this unprecedented demand, more than $300 billion in capital expenditure is being invested this year in data centers (rebranded by NVIDIA as “AI factories”), signaling a new industrial revolution in AI infrastructure.

    1. An IBM survey of 2,000 CEOs revealed that just 25% of AI projects deliver on their promised return on investment. The main driver of adoption, it seems, is corporate FOMO, with nearly two-thirds of CEOs agreeing that “the risk of falling behind drives them to invest in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring to the organization,” according to the study.
