A comparison to Waymo’s auto liability insurance claims at 25M miles
Understanding the safety impact of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) is crucial for their widespread adoption, yet robust real-world evaluation remains a critical area of development. By leveraging insurance industry third-party auto liability claims, we analyze the Waymo ADS performance across 25.3 million fully…
Political bias in AI: Where the AI models stand
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...
Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with agents
We used agents to port all of Git to library-first, memory-safe Rust and it passes the entire C Git test suite.
GPT-5.6 Sol can beat Factorio on peaceful mode
Edit: Woah, this took off! If you want more details you can subscribe at the bottom of the post or on YouTube. I’m working on a more detailed highlights/commentary post and video. Previously: We got Claude Code playing Factorio, Towards beating Factorio autonomously, and Faketorio: an agent testbed I got GPT-5.6 Sol…
OpenAI Grove
Applications are now open for OpenAI Grove Cohort 2, a 5-week founder program designed for individuals at any stage, from pre-idea to product. Participants receive $50K in API credits, early access to AI tools, and hands-on mentorship from the OpenAI team.
Machine learning is still too hard for software engineers
Machine Learning has made huge strides in the last few decades, but it remains largely inaccessible to the average developer. This post examines some of the reasons why.
Even 'uncensored' models can't say what they want
A safety-filtered pretrain can duck a charged word without refusing. It puts a fraction of the probability an open-data pretrain puts there. We call that...

Why Cline doesn't index your codebase
Here's a common question we get from prospective Cline users: "How does Cline handle large codebases? Do you use RAG to index everything?" It's a reasonable question. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the go-to solution for giving AI systems access to large knowledge bases. But for Cline, we've taken a…

Coding Tools Are Just One Front in AI’s Supply Chain Wars
Just a little AI resistance, as a treat
At the recent EMFCamp, I bumped in to Professor Kate Devlin who was talking a little about the AI Resist List. I think one of the useful things we can do is loudly complain about shitty uses of AI. Here's an example. As mentioned in a previous post, I'm contacting companies which send malformed calendar invites. One…
Path to Astra: critical capabilities and frontier safeguards
Astra is the first OpenAI model to meet the Critical cybersecurity capability threshold under the Preparedness Framework, with stronger safeguards for release.
AI-powered conversion from Enzyme to React Testing Library
Update (October 2024): In response to numerous requests from external developers, we have open-sourced a version of our Enzyme to React Testing Library (RTL) conversion tool. You can now find it on npm, along with detailed instructions on how to integrate and use it in your projects. In the world of frontend…
Do large language models need all those layers?
Finding that 70% of attention heads and 20% of feed-forward networks can be excised with minimal effect on in-context learning suggests that large language models are undertrained.
Trillium TPU Is GA
Trillium, Google’s sixth-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is now GA, delivering enhanced performance and cost-effectiveness for AI workloads.
Python, Machine Learning, and Language Wars (2015)
This has really been quite a journey for me lately. And regarding the frequently asked question “Why did you choose Python for Machine Learning?” I guess it…
Can a model trained on satellite data really find brambles on the ground?
Can a model trained on satellite data really find brambles on the ground? We put a new model to the test with a field trip around Cambridge. The results...
