Круто расписано 😁

​​We’re not saying that registration for the Proggy-Buggy Towel Contest is open.

But if you keep seeing 42 everywhere…
maybe it’s a sign.

13 problems.
42 minutes.
One towel.

Прикольный - контест ProggyBuggy: на 42 минуты дается 13 задач на логику -> будет 6 июня. В Алмате, Астане и Караганде оффлайн локаций есть.

On June 10, 2026, the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) invites to a workshop dedicated to investing in AI and practical application of artificial intelligence.

⭐️ The event will be held in collaboration with Silkroad Angels, a closed club of Central Asian business angels investing in Silicon Valley tech startups.

During the workshop, we will discuss:
✔️ AI as a key technological trend and driver of the global economy;
✔️ specifics of venture capital investments in AI startups;
✔️ approaches to project selection and investment risk management;
✔️ access to deals and the Silicon Valley startup pipeline;
✔️ practical application of AI in business;
✔️ main AI trends of 2026 and real-world implementation cases.

🎤 Speakers:
Abai Absamet, co-founder of Silkroad Angels, an angel investor community at the Silkroad Innovation Hub in Silicon Valley;
Arman Suleimenov, serial entrepreneur, founder of Zero To One Labs and nFactorial School.

👥 Participants will also enjoy a networking session, Q&A and the opportunity to discuss current AI and venture market trends with experts and investors.

🗓️ June 10, 2026
📍 Almaty, 280 Baizakov St., Almaty Towers BC (North Tower), 1st floor, Press Room.

Build Small Hackathon by Gradio & HuggingFace 🤗

The premise:
≤32 billion parameters.
Two tracks.
Two weekends (May 29 - June 8)
$15K in prizes.

The first track: Backyard AI
Judged on whether the person you built the app for actually used it. That's the bar. Not a leaderboard. Not a benchmark. A real human in your life who got measurably more help from your software.

The second track: An Adventure in Thousand Token Wood
For building things that are weird, joyful, and wouldn't exist without AI.

Registration just opened and closes May 27.
❤️‍🔥 Whether you've been to a hackathon before or this would be your first, come build something small with us. Read more.

The Problem with "Trust Me Bro" Benchmarks

* The "Hype" Loop: Models are often specifically optimized to pass popular benchmarks, meaning they learn the answers rather than solving the underlying logic.

* Contamination: It is suspected that testing datasets are included in the training data, leading to artificially high scores.

* Marketing > Science: Many, such as the SWE-Bench Pro comparisons, are used to boost investor sentiment rather than providing transparent data.

* Lack of Evidence: Often, these benchmarks lack the underlying scripts or raw outputs needed to verify the claims.

«Онлайн-кодирование» в контексте машинного обучения (ML) — это процесс преобразования категориальных признаков в числовые значения непосредственно в процессе обучения модели, не требующий предварительного полного сканирования всех данных (batch-обучение).

Онлайн-методы кодирования, такие как целевое кодирование (target encoding) или хэш-кодирование (hashing trick), позволяют кодировать новые данные с минимальными затратами ресурсов.

Attention Is All You Need = Назар аудару - саған керек жалғыз нәрсе

* Deep Learning - терең оқыту;
* Dataset - дерекқоржын;
* Vanishing Gradient - жоғалып бара жатқан градиент;
* Exploding Gradient - жарылып жатқан градиент;
* Softmax - жұмсақ максимум;
* K Nearest Neighbors - K жақын көршілер;
* RandomForest - кездейсоқ орман;
* DecisionTree - шешуші ағаш;
* Pooling Layer - біріктіру қабаты;
* Hidden Layer - жасырын қабат;
* Dropout - тастап кету;
* Multi-headed Attention - көп-басты назар;
* Multi-armed Bandit - көп-қолды қарақшы;
* Backpropagation - кері таралу;
* Weight Decay - салмақтың ыдырауы;
* Loss Function - шығын функциясы;
* Chain-of-Thought - ойтізбек;
* Feature Extraction - белгісуыру;

MiniCPM5-1B теперь полностью open source: открыты веса, обучающие данные и код для деплоя. 🚀

1B параметров, первое место на Artificial Analysis среди всех открытых моделей меньше 2B параметров - 17.9 балла.

Обходит Qwen3.5-2B, у которой 16.3 балла, при вдвое меньшем числе параметров. Также превосходит Qwen3.5-0.8B и LFM2.5-1.2B-Thinking в задачах на знания, математику, код и использование инструментов.

INT4-версия занимает 0.5 ГБ. Запускается на телефонах, в браузерах и на edge-устройствах.

Обучена с помощью ForgeTrain - первого production-grade фреймворка для pretraining LLM, полностью написанного ИИ: без human-программистов и на 10% быстрее NVIDIA Megatron.

​​At first glance, Proggy-Buggy looks slightly unserious 👀
⏱️ 42 minutes
🧩 13 problems
🤯 Towels
And tasks that sometimes literally have no solution
But somehow this chaos has existed for more than 10 years — and gathers thousands of participants every year 🔥
So… what’s actually going on here?

In this interview, Proggy-Buggy creator Oleksandr Khizha explains:
— ❓ why this contest even exists
— 🧠 why some problems are intentionally “UNDECIDABLE”
— ⚡️ why thinking faster beats thinking longer
— ♟ why Proggy-Buggy feels more like blitz chess than a programming contest

If you’ve ever thought: “Wait… what is this thing?” 🤨 —or wondered why people keep coming back to it—
this is for you 👇
