Test impact analysis involves concentrating testing efforts on the specific changes made during discrete development activities, ensuring that only the necessary tests are executed. Teams that adopt this technology enhance testing processes during development by receiving immediate feedback on the impact of changes to their application. Despite the adoption of modern development methodologies such as Agile, DevOps, and continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD), software testing remains a significant bottleneck. In many cases, software teams fail to conduct adequate testing, which leads to the emergence of bugs and security vulnerabilities in later stages of the development cycle. This challenges the efficacy of these

Get Ready for Faster Text Generation With Diffusion LLMs

For several years now, we’ve taken for granted that many transformer-based large language models (LLMs) use a technique known as autoregression. This machine learning technique aligns well with how many languages work, in that it processes and generates each word, or token, sequentially from left to right. But with the increasing complexity of AI-generated text, the costs of inference and problems with latency have risen as well. However, there may be a better way, thanks to the recent release of Mercury by US-based Inception Labs, the first commercial-scale diffusion large language model (dLLM) that promises faster and more efficient text generation,
