A surprisingly common complaint I see from developers who have tried using LLMs for code is that they encountered a hallucination—usually the LLM inventing a method or even a full …
OpenAI's latest model raises more questions than answers, but no, the AI bubble isn't popping quite yet.
Voice is our most intimate medium as humans. At Sesame, we are creating conversational partners that achieve voice presence—the quality that makes spoken interactions feel real, understood, and valued.
My (ops-but-sometimes-writes-scripts-to-help-out) coworker just tapped on my shoulder and asked me to look at his code that wasn't working. It was a bit something like this:
These LLMs are shockingly good at deobfuscation, transpilation and structure to structure conversions. I discovered this back around Christmas where I asked an LLM to make me an Haskell audio library by transpiling a rust implementation. An “oh fuck” moment in timeOver the Christmas break I’ve been critically looking

Pure scaling in shambles
Testing Andrew Ng's document extraction service reveals over 50% hallucinated values in financial tables. | Pulse AI
We’re releasing a research preview of GPT‑4.5—our largest and best model for chat yet. GPT‑4.5 is a step forward in scaling up pre-training and post-training.
Powered by generative AI, Alexa+ is your personal AI assistant that gets things done—she’s smarter, more conversational, more capable, and free with Prime.
There are two claims I’d like to make: LLMs can be used effectively1 for listwise document ranking. Some complex problems can (surprisingly) be solved by transforming them into document ranking problems. I’ve primarily explored both of these claims in the context of using patch diffing to locate N-day…
In contrast to OpenAI’s Deep Research, this example ran locally, using only open-source models and tools like Milvus and LangChain.
How using AI as a bridge when doctors aren't available can improve patient-to-doctor communications in real time emergencies
Vibe coding (or vibeware) is making rounds on X now. To the best of my knowledge Andrej Karpathy started the “meme” in this X entry . I find it well written and hilarious and it seems to have taken off.
For some time, I’ve argued that a common conception of AI is misguided. This is the idea that AI systems like large language and vision models are individual intelligent agents, analogous to human agents. Instead, I’ve argued that these models are “cultural technologies” like writing, print, pictures, libraries…
Although it might seem that AI will make it pointless, I still think it's worth blogging.
Today, we’re announcing Claude 3.7 Sonnet, our most intelligent model to date and the first hybrid reasoning model generally available on the market.
The hype cycle for Google’s fabulous new AI Co-Scientist tool, based on the Gemini LLM, includes a BBC headline about how José Penadés’ team at Imperial College asked the tool about a problem…
MongoDB to integrate Voyage AI's industry-leading embedding and reranking models, delivering highly accurate and relevant information retrieval to power sophisticated AI use cases NEW YORK , Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB), the leading database for modern applications,
A bill headed to the Senate floor in Utah would require officers to disclose if a police report was written by generative AI. The bill, S.B. 180, requires a department to have a policy governing the use of AI. This policy would mandate that police reports created in whole or in part by generative...
AI tried to take launch results into their own... hands? And it caused some heartbreak.
OpenAI’s Deep Research is built for me, and I can’t use it. It’s another amazing demo, until it breaks. But it breaks in really interesting ways.
Using LLMs doesn't make a product special anymore
Figure was founded with the ambition to change the world.
Congratulations to the xAI team—and the advocates of the scaling laws
