“High-performance infrastructure only matters if it expands what users can actually do onchain — and makes that experience accessible at scale.” @sachitakamura sits down with @jayendra_jog, Co-Founder of @SeiNetwork, to examine why parallelized execution is becoming increasingly important for the next generation of onchain applications. From trading and DeFi to high-frequency user activity that simply breaks in low-throughput environments, they discuss how lower fees and greater execution capacity can fundamentally reshape the user experience — especially for smaller participants who are otherwise priced out. They also explore how this plays out in practice through projects like Bancor’s Carbon DeFi, where Sei has emerged as the ecosystem driving the strongest activity and volume, underscoring how performance advantages translate into real adoption.

High performance starts with wellbeing. It was a pleasure to welcome our Brand Ambassador, @leylahfernandez, for an energizing workout and conversation on mindset, recovery, and sustainable performance. Thank you, Leylah, for inspiring our employees and reminding us that resilience, recovery, and mindset are key to success.

almost every high performance motor on earth turns on a sintered rare earth magnet: airpods Phone haptics EV drive units robot wrists missile fins cmpressor fans in a hall full of GPUs the bottleneck in three numbers: - China mines about 60% of the magnet rare earths - it refines about 91% - it makes about 94% of the sintered permanent magnets having deposits might be a comforting idea, it's still just a small part of the strategy. Ore is not the product. The product is basically a brick that keeps its field when the motor gets hot. Building that brick means separating periodic table twins, alloying them, powdering, sintering, machining, magnetising. China built that middle when the west treated it like a dirty job nobody wanted at home. so who owns separation, and a sinter line a customer will actually trust? A few names sit on those steps: - $MP : Fort Worth metal + magnets, 10X campus behind it - $LYC (Lynas) : the non-Chinese oxides that already ship Energy Fuels + VAC: magnet craft bolted onto a US feed - Noveon: already shipping sintered magnets from Texas - Japan (Proterial, Shin-Etsu, TDK): the houses that never forgot how Educational, not investment advice

🚀 Introducing FlashQLA: high-performance linear attention kernels built on TileLang. ⚡ 2–3× forward speedup. 2× backward speedup. 💻 Purpose-built for agentic AI on your personal devices. 💡Key insights: 1. Gate-driven automatic intra-card CP. 2. Hardware-friendly algebraic reformulation. 3. TileLang fused warp-specialized kernels. FlashQLA boosts SM utilization via automatic intra-device CP. The gains are especially pronounced for TP setups, small models, and long-context workloads. Instead of fusing the entire GDN flow into a single kernel, we split it into two kernels optimized for CP and backward efficiency. At large batch sizes this incurs extra memory I/O overhead vs. a fully fused approach, but it delivers better real-world performance on edge devices and long-context workloads. The backward pass was the hardest part: we built a 16-stage warp-specialized pipeline under extremely tight on-chip memory constraints, ultimately achieving 2×+ kernel-level speedups. We hope this is useful to the community!🫶🫶 Learn more: 📖 Blog: 💻 Code:
