In July, OpenAI revealed that its AI agents had attacked Hugging Face without permission, sparking widespread concerns about AI safety. Since then, a string of similar incidents involving agents from Meta, Anthropic, Google, and other companies has fueled further fears about rogue AI. As disclosures implicating numerous AI models trickled out over the past few months, these seemed like separate incidents. But many share a common source: one specific company tasked with testing the agents.

Irregular, an Israeli startup that stress-tests AI models in “high-fidelity research platforms that simulate and monitor real-world AI security scenarios,” has worked with many of the industry’s biggest players since it was founded as Pattern Labs in 2023. Its exact client list is not known, but its work has been cited in OpenAI model system cards, it was used to test systems for the UK government and Anthropic, and it published...

Scaling MoE reinforcement learning on Amazon EKS with EFA and DeepEP with 40% more throughput | Amazon Web Services

When you post-train a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) or Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) at scale, three simultaneous challenges emerge. The first requires coordinating heterogeneous compute for rollout generation and policy training. Second, sustaining high-throughput communication across hundreds of accelerators. And third, dynamically orchestrating
