GitHub's ModernBERT classifier replaces an LLM in secret scanning at over 98% lower serving cost
GitHub says a fine-tuned ModernBERT classifier cut median post-push secret-scan time by 86% and model serving costs by over 98% against its LLM pipeline. The speed also let it extend generic secret detection to push protection.

buildOne report1 publisher GroundingPI's 5 ms box step is one of five stages in an 18.5 ms pipeline
GroundingPI reports 5 ms box output on one A100 and over 90% pick-and-place success at 30 Hz, according to a dev.to write-up. Public weights, ONNX export and a ROS bridge let a team check both numbers in its own control loop.

Deployment code, checkpoints and a report for frame-by-frame editing, with a claimed 30 FPS end-to-end at 720x1248. That is a number a team can finally hold against its own budget.

AegisGate's founder replayed 24 attack prompts gathered from advisories and disclosed incidents against his own gateway, which scores 99.8 out of 100 on evasion resistance. It blocked 13, and seven new regexes followed.

buildOne report1 publisher One GPU and a bash retry queue trained 14 skills for a bipedal robot duck
MicroDuck's 14 policies came out of roughly five days of serial single-GPU training in mjlab, with nine separate reward designs behind them and a VRAM ceiling that cut the env count to 2048 on rough terrain.

A dev.to walkthrough of on-device ML on Android traces one withdrawn screening feature back to main-thread inference and a float32 model, and prices what quantization and a calibration set would have saved.

The one question this on-prem Chinese RAG always got wrong had its answer passage sitting at rank 83 in raw vector similarity, which made depth 100 the only setting worth testing, and when it ran the reranker still left that passage below the top five.
