MONAI framework is such an amazing gift to the whole medical imaging community and it keeps getting better thanks to many friends at @NVIDIAHealth .
I simply love how powerful and accessible the new gen of open source tooling has become, and it is also super inspiring to see how much of what we do is supported by the strong ITK/VTK foundations laid by @Kitware those many years ago.
Introducing MONAI Physio at #MICCAI2026.
3D and 4D medical images โก๏ธ personalized cardiac and respiratory digital twins.

Qwen3.8-27B + RTX 3090 + Pi, are a solid local combo. With smart software optimizations, this card has still plenty of life left in it.
Surprised by how well the token throughput holds up even when capping the GPU to 250W.
๐คฏ A localmaxxer hit ~381 tok/s on a SINGLE RTX 3090 with Qwen3.8-27B.
This developer has turned a 24GB RTX 3090 into a monster Qwen inference box - w/some creativity.
Four days ago ๐ โก ~82 tok/s single-user
Then ๐
โก ~114 tok/s with optimized MTP
โก ~138 tok/s with DFlash2 + lookup drafting
Now ๐ ๐ฅ ~381 tok/s on ONE request
How? The recipe combines ...
๐ง Qwen3.8-27B
๐ฎ 1ร RTX 3090 24GB @ 250W
โ๏ธ heavily optimized vLLM
โก DFlash2 speculative decoding
๐ lookup-augmented drafting
๐ prefix caching
๐งฎ 16-token verification blocks
๐พ quantized KV / heads / activations
DFlash2 normally proposes 7 tokens.
The developer realized the verification block doesn't have to stop there.
If Qwen is answering from a document already sitting in the prompt, the system can fill the remaining draft positions using tokens found directly in that context.
๐ฏ So the target model can verify 16 tokens at once.
On a ~25K-token document reproduction task:
Previous DFlash2 ๐ ~260 tok/s
Longer verification + context lookup ๐ ๐ฅ ~382 tok/s
Acceptance:
๐คฏ 15 of 16 tokens per verification step
That is where the crazy number comes from.
โ ๏ธ On ordinary real-world chat prompts, the same setup is around ~133 tok/s
Still extremely fast for a dense 27B model on an RTX 3090.
The 381 tok/s mode shines when the answer largely comes from material already in context so these are best use cases
๐ RAG / document Q&A
๐ป Coding assistants applying edits
๐ Quoting or rewriting documents
๐ Extracting information from long prompts
And another optimization ๐ With prefix caching, a second question against the same 25K-token document reportedly goes from:
๐ 22.4 sec TTFT
โ
โก 0.56 sec TTFT
Because the model doesn't need to process the whole document again.
๐ฏ It's specifically a mode for RAG front ends and coding agents.

An already excellent multi-camera calibration toolbox got even better โ๏ธ
Excited to announce MC-Calib v1.5.0!
By upgrading to OpenCV 5, reprojection errors are almost halved across all tested scenarios.
Shoutout to @LearnOpenCV for encouraging the upgrade.

LeRobot never ceases to improve the bot experience ๐ช
Deployment of policies got easier.
Recording of corrections and retrospective flagging from the ring buffer are two excellent ways to not miss those interesting training examples.
Real-time chunking is pretty sweet too.

Until today, running a trained policy on a real robot meant repurposing 'lerobot-record' โ the same script you used to collect data. Need a different inference engine? That was yet another script. 'lerobot-rollout' replaces all of that with one command: pick a rollout strategy, pick an inference engine, and go.
๐ตย Base โ Run your policy. See if it works. No recording, no setup friction.
๐ข Sentry โ Leave your robot running overnight. Episodes auto-rotate, data streams to the ๐ค Hub in the background. Come back to a ready-made dataset.
๐ Highlight โ A ring buffer silently records the last N seconds. See something interesting? Press a key and that moment is saved retroactively. No more "I wish I was recording."
๐ฃ DAgger โ When the policy fails, pause it, take over with the teleoperator, record the correction, and resume. Every intervention is tagged so you retrain on exactly the moments that matter.
All four strategies work with both synchronous and Real-Time Chunking (RTC) inference, and you can even plug your own! Every combination of strategy ร inference engine just works.

50 demonstrations and 30 minutes of training is all it takes to get started with imitation learning. @LeRobotHF and the SO-101 arm from @huggingface are a blast to play with, the kit from @seeedstudio is top tier!
Well done AWS, looking forward to trying this! Sounds like some ML pipelines will get simplified. Hope that other blob storage vendors get inspired

Wow, this works amazingly well even on my normal laptop! Having performant LLMs will be pretty dope for any offline travelsโ๏ธ
It's impressive how so much data can be condensed into just 1.5B params (and going down). Those weights should be put onto future Golden records #voyager
it's crazy what a 1.5B model can do these days!
"VibeThinker-1.5B is a 1.5-billion parameter dense language model. With a total training cost of only $7,800 USD, it achieves reasoning performance comparable to larger models like GPT OSS-20B Medium."
runs perfectly on device!
