TabICLv2: A better, faster, scalable, and open tabular foundation model

TabICLv2 is a new state‑of‑the‑art tabular foundation model that outperforms existing methods on regression and classification tasks. It relies on a synthetic data generation engine for diverse pretraining, architectural innovations such as a scalable softmax attention, and optimized training protocols that replace AdamW with the Muon optimizer. On the TabArena and TALENT benchmarks, TabICLv2 surpasses the current best model, RealTabPFN‑2.5, without any tuning, while also being faster and capable of handling million‑scale datasets with limited GPU memory.

TabBench-Bio: A Living Benchmark for Machine Learning on High-Dimensional Biomedical Tables

TabBench-Bio is a living, interactive benchmark that evaluates machine learning models on 43 high‑dimensional biomedical tables, covering multiple domains. Using a shared cross‑validation protocol, the benchmark compares classical estimators, neural networks, and tabular foundation models across 28 feature‑by‑sample operating points, with RealTabPFN v2.5 achieving the highest performance at the reference cell of 10,000 features and 100 training samples. The benchmark provides reproducible results, fold‑level predictions, and invites community contributions to expand its dataset collection.

AMDKernelVault: Large-Scale Datasets and Agentic Training for AMD GPU Kernel Optimization

AMDKernelVault is an open HIP and Triton kernel corpus and training framework designed for AMD CDNA GPUs. It includes 62,153 verified HIP kernels, 39,893 Triton kernels, and 2,377 ROCm library QA entries, and introduces agent-driven pipelines (HIPKernelGen and TritonKernelGen) that convert PyTorch references into GPU kernels, compile, validate, and profile them on AMD hardware. The corpus was used to fine‑tune Qwen3-8B, achieving the highest correctness on several benchmarks such as PyTorch-to-HIP, TritonBench‑G, and ROCmBench under fixed evaluation budgets.
