ODEs Without the Drama: How FPGAs Finally Make Physical AI Practical at the Edge

MERINDA shows that practical physical AI begins by redesigning solver-heavy model recovery for parallel hardware—not by placing the same algorithm on a smaller device.

Rotate Less, Quantize Better: OptRot and the Geometry of LLM Compression

OptRot shows how a simple proxy for weight outliers can improve GPTQ compression without calibration data during rotation learning—and why the same geometry can backfire at W4A4.
