ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hilary Term 2026 Strachey Lecture with Professor Ion Stoica, An AI stack: from scaling AI workloads to evaluating LLMs Large language models (LLMs) have taken the world by storm, enabling new applications, intensifying GPU shortages, and raising
concerns about the accuracy of their outputs. In this talk, I will present several projects I have worked on to address these
challenges. Specifically, I will focus on Ray, a distributed framework for scaling AI workloads, vLLM and SGLang, two
high-throughput inference engines for LLMs, and LMArena, a platform for accurate LLM benchmarking. I will conclude with key
lessons learned and outline directions for future research.

Professor Christel Baier delivers the Hillary Term 2024 Strachey Lecture Abstract: The classical stochastic shortest path (SSP) problems asks to find a policy for traversing a weighted stochastic graph until reaching a distinguished goal state that minimizes the expected accumulated weight. SSP pro…

An introduction to algorithmic aspects of symmetry and similarity, ranging from the fundamental complexity theoretic "Graph Isomorphism Problem" to applications in optimisation and machine learning Symmetry is a fundamental concept in mathematics, science and engineering, and beyond. Understanding …
It’s said that Henry Ford’s customers wanted “a faster horse”. If Henry Ford was selling us artificial intelligence today, what would the customer call for, “a smarter human”? That’s certainly the picture of machine intelligence we find in science fiction narratives, but the reality of what we’ve d…
In this term's Strachey lecture, Professor Monika Henzinger gives an introduction to differential privacy with an emphasis on differential private algorithms that can handle changing input data. Decisions are increasingly automated using rules that were learnt from personal data. Thus, it is import…
