Plus: Fiery resistance to a nuclear AI data center and A24's Google debacle. Welcome to the first episode of BLOOD IN THE MACHINE: THE SHOW, with the great AI and crypto watchdog, Molly White.
The most detailed vascular image of a living human brain we've seen, captured with ultrasound through the skull — and the pipeline behind it.
AI has a cost problem. The solution that will emerge will be simpler than we expect.
I built hackmyclaw.com , where anyone could email Fiu, my OpenClaw assistant, and try to make it leak the contents of a secrets.env file.
Last week, I posted a visual demonstration of the sameness of AI-generated content.
We built Un-0, an image generator powered by a simulated system of coupled oscillators, an example of an emerging physical computing substrate. On ImageNet 64×64 it reaches FID 6.74, matching the quality of leading conventional image generation methods when they were first published. Weights, training, and ablation…
Model training has grown complex enough to require many specialised stages and teams, and manual coordination between them doesn’t scale. At Aleph Alpha, we’ve built Savanna, a model factory that implements the entire training pipeline in code.
Political bias in AI measures where every major AI model stands on charged political and ethical questions: run many times, no web search, plotted with error...
Today I was setting up Hermes to see how it does with web research. I chose DeepSeek V4 because I know it is cheap, but seeing it’s pricing next to Anthropic and OpenAI ‘frontier’ models is crazy. Nearly a 50x price increase based on tokens alone, let alone how much pondering any of their models might fall into (using…
A look at the built-in computer use tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash.
OpenAI and Broadcom introduce Jalapeño, a custom AI chip built for LLM inference to improve performance, efficiency, and scale across AI systems.
Claude Tag is a new way for teams to work with Claude.
Technical report for Krea 2 (K2), our open-weights text-to-image foundation models for creative exploration. Release includes K2 Raw and K2 Turbo open weights.
A year ago in The Back Of The AI Envelope I pointed out that the AI platforms were running the drug-dealer's algorithm, "the first one's fr...
Mistral OCR 4 delivers enterprise document AI with 170-language support, bounding boxes, and self-hosted deployment.
FROMSOFT has a reputation for diverse and punishing npc encounters across the entire Soulsborne extended series, but the implementation of the AI decision making itself is perhaps unexpectedly low-tech. Since the majority of the code is implemented in Havok Script (A games-oriented Lua implementation from Havok) it’s…
Loops, harnesses, and why even loop skeptics may end up with them.
A capability threshold I've been carefully monitoring.
What YOLO26 is: NMS-free, edge-optimized YOLO with 43% faster CPU inference, benchmarks by size, licensing, and how it compares to RF-DETR.
OpenAI introduces new Daybreak tools, including Codex Security and GPT-5.5-Cyber, to help organizations find, validate, and patch vulnerabilities at scale.
Claude Code records each session to disk. Those logs include “thinking blocks” — the model’s own reasoning as it works.
One model to command them all
I’ve been in Berkeley for the last 2 weeks. I haven’t really been back here for a while, and it’s worse than you can believe. This is a cult of atheistic hedonists needing AI doom to be true to justify their life choices. Or acceleration. Or something. They need to make impact. I mean, narcissism of small differences…
<p>As a fun personal project, I have been working on a chatbot for answering general questions about my household on anything from maintenance questions to doctor’s appointments. </p> <p> The general idea is that the chatbot will get its household knowledge through RAG from querying a vector database, but for better…
There was a time not too long ago when using Linux entailed some professional risk 1 . First there was compatibility: you may not have been able to render a Word document or PowerPoint correctly, and you might have had to trust Open Office’s export capability to render docs the way you wanted. There might have been…
One of the most painful arguments I keep having with fellow techies is the question of whether you can distinguish between human-written and AI-generated text.
...also don't tell lies. But I'm getting ahead of myself already. I keep running into people online who openly say that they use AI to do their writing for t
AI helping pharmaceutical researchers query decades of information buried in PDF reports
AI can make implementation cheap while making review and judgment more expensive.
