Why did Google Brain exist?
This essay was originally written in December 2022 as I pondered the future of my job. I sat on it because I wasn’t sure of the optics of posting such an essay while employed by Google Brain. But then Google made my decision easier by laying me off in January. My severance check cleared, and last week, Brain and…

I’m so excited for the new LLMs, self driving cars, video generation models, and coding agents. I set up a Linux box with opencode on…

Shipping a Neural Network on iOS with CoreML, PyTorch, and React Native
This is the story of how I trained a simple neural network to solve a well-defined yet novel challenge in a real iOS app. The problem is unique, but most of what I cover should apply to any task in any iOS app. That’s the beauty of neural networks.

How fast is N tokens per second really?
Every local-LLM benchmark reports throughput: "47 tok/s on an M3," "180 tok/s on a 4090," "500 tok/s on Groq." Unless you've actually watched tokens stream at those rates, the numbers are hard to internalize. This is the rendering.

The Eternal Sloptember
I’m calling it now, the adoption of AI agents into software development will be one of the most costly mistakes in the field’s history. Agents cannot program, and it’s taking longer and longer to realize that they can’t. They are a highly sophisticated statistical model designed to mimic the distribution of…
