Exclusive: A former Apple engineer thinks AI infrastructure is built for the wrong future. Investors just gave him $80 million to fix it

Sail Research, founded by a former Apple engineer, has secured $80 million in funding from Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia to redesign AI infrastructure for the emerging agent economy. The startup argues that current computing infrastructure is optimized for outdated AI paradigms and proposes fundamental changes to chip and system economics to handle the computational demands of autonomous AI agents.

Unifying Data, Memory, and Compute Efficiency in LLM training: A Survey

A comprehensive survey examines how data efficiency, memory constraints, and compute budgets interact as coupled bottlenecks in LLM training. The research reveals that optimal training strategies are resource-dependent rather than universal, with GPU memory often being the primary limiting factor rather than raw computational power.

Chiaroscuro Attention: Spending Compute in the Dark

Researchers introduce CHIAR-Former, a hybrid transformer that routes tokens to different operators (DCT spectral mixing, RBF kernel mixing, or full self-attention) based on spectral entropy. The DCT+Attention variant achieves 45% better perplexity than standard attention on WikiText-103 while using 62.5% fewer attention operations, demonstrating significant computational efficiency gains for large-scale language models.

sGPO: Trading Inference FLOPs for Training Efficiency in RLVR

Researchers introduce sGPO (sorted Group Policy Optimization), a training method that reduces computational waste in reinforcement learning by using cheap inference to profile query difficulty and dynamically allocate training resources. The approach achieves 3x reduction in total training compute while maintaining or improving performance, representing a significant efficiency breakthrough for large-scale AI model training.

Optimal Expert-Attention Allocation in Mixture-of-Experts: A Scalable Law for Dynamic Model Design

Researchers have developed a new scaling law for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models that optimizes compute allocation between expert and attention layers. The study extends the Chinchilla scaling law by introducing an optimal ratio formula that follows a power-law relationship with total compute and model sparsity.

Optimal Sparsity of Mixture-of-Experts Language Models for Reasoning Tasks

Researchers analyzed Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models to determine optimal sparsity levels for different tasks. They found that reasoning tasks require balancing active compute (FLOPs) with optimal data-to-parameter ratios, while memorization tasks benefit from more parameters regardless of sparsity.

ADWIN: Adaptive Windows for Horizon-Aware On-Policy Distillation

ADWIN is a new framework for on-policy distillation that optimizes training efficiency by adaptively adjusting rollout lengths instead of requiring full completions for every update. The method reduces training costs by up to 4.1x while maintaining or improving accuracy on math and code reasoning tasks by identifying when shorter teacher-anchored sequences contain sufficient signal for learning.

Raising Bars, Not Parameters: LilMoo Compact Language Model for Hindi

Researchers have developed LilMoo, a 0.6-billion parameter Hindi language model trained from scratch using a transparent, reproducible pipeline optimized for limited compute environments. The model outperforms similarly sized multilingual baselines like Qwen2.5-0.5B and Qwen3-0.6B, demonstrating that language-specific pretraining can rival larger multilingual models.
