ML system design interviews test how well you can think beyond models. In these interviews, choosing an algorithm is only one part of the answer. You also need to explain how data is collected, how features are created, how predictions are served, and how the system improves over time. Most real ML systems are built […] The post System Design for ML Interviews: 10 Real Problems Walked Through appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.
We implement xFormers, a practical toolkit for fast, memory-efficient Transformer models on GPUs. We validate memory-efficient attention against a standard implementation, then compare speed and memory across sequence lengths. We work through causal masking, packed variable-length sequences, grouped-query attention, and custom ALiBi biases. Finally, we combine these into a trainable GPT-style model with SwiGLU layers and automatic mixed-precision training.

In this tutorial, we explore how to run OpenAI’s open-weight GPT-OSS models in Google Colab with a strong focus on their technical behavior, deployment requirements, and practical inference workflows. We begin by setting up the exact dependencies needed for Transformers-based execution, verifying GPU availability, and loading openai/gpt-oss-20b with the correct configuration using native MXFP4 quantization, […] The post A End-to-End Coding Guide to Running OpenAI GPT-OSS Open-Weight Models with Advanced Inference Workflows appeared first on MarkTechPost.
