CUDA vs. ROCm: A case study
A simple, whitespace theme for academics. Based on [*folio](https://github.com/bogoli/-folio) design.
Benchmarking coding agents on Databricks' multi-million line codebase
Databricks shares results from its internal coding benchmark, evaluating coding agents on a multi-million line codebase to optimize engineering cost and performance.
Multimodal Neurons in Artificial Neural Networks
We’ve discovered neurons in CLIP that respond to the same concept whether presented literally, symbolically, or conceptually. This may explain CLIP’s accuracy in classifying surprising visual renditions of concepts, and is also an important step toward understanding the associations and biases that CLIP and similar…
Workspace Agents in ChatGPT
Workspace agents in ChatGPT are Codex-powered agents that automate complex workflows, run in the cloud, and help teams scale work across tools securely.
Entropy of a Large Language Model output
Large language models like ChatGPT & Claude have become ubiquitous in today’s world. I visited a friend for the New years eve and was impressed by how ChatGPT was being extensively used within the family. The friend’s little kid is going to grow up in a world, where turning to large language models (LLM) for quick…
The Neural Net Tank Urban Legend
AI folklore tells a story about a neural network trained to detect tanks which instead learned to detect time of day; investigating, this probably never happened.
Modular Manifolds
A geometric framework for co-designing neural net optimizers with manifold constraints.
Gradient Descent Models Are Kernel Machines
This paper shows that models which result from gradient descent training (e.g., deep neural nets) can be expressed as a weighted sum of simi...
AlphaQubit: AI to identify errors in Quantum Computers
AlphaQubit is an AI-based decoder that identifies quantum computing errors with state-of-the-art accuracy.
Google announces Sec-Gemini v1 a new experimental cybersecurity model
Today, we’re announcing Sec-Gemini v1, a new experimental AI model focused on advancing cybersecurity AI frontiers. As outlined a year ago, defenders face the daunting t…
Self-hosting Kimi K3: 20% more hardware cost, 20% better task resolution
We gave 64 real coding tasks to self-hosted GPUs, rented hardware and commercial APIs. Owning a box lands in the same cost ballpark as renting one.
LLM Python/CLI tool adds support for embeddings
LLM is my Python library and command-line tool for working with language models. I just released LLM 0.9 with a new set of features that extend LLM to provide tools …

Fooling around with encrypted reasoning blobs
Update August 11, 2026: A group of researchers from all over Europe were inspired by this post, and actually turned it into a real working attack! Check out their writeup and paper here. This is a …
Learning the Integral of a Diffusion Model
A deep dive on flow maps.
Open-sourcing circuit tracing tools
Our open-source tools generate attribution graphs showing how language models reach decisions.
The Essential Tools of Scientific Machine Learning
Scientific machine learning is a burgeoning discipline which blends scientific computing and machine learning. Traditionally, scientific computing focuses on large-scale mechanistic models, usually differential equations, that are derived from scientific laws that simplified and explained phenomena. On the other hand…

The Gorman Paradox: Where Are All the AI-Generated Apps?
In 1950, while discussing the recent wave of flying saucer reports over lunch with colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, physicist Enrico Fermi asked a simple question. There …
Update on Llama adoption
Llama models are approaching 350 million downloads to date, and they were downloaded more than 20 million times in the last month alone, making Llama the leading open source model family.
Where will the next major advance towards general purpose AI come from?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making progress in great strides, or at least it appears so! Almost no week passes by without some major announcements of new challenges solved by AI technology or new products powered by AI. Indeed many quantifiable factors attest an unprecedented level of activity: capital…

Detecting AI agent use and abuse
The key question is: Can you detect AI agent traffic on your application today? We tested multiple AI agent toolkits across high-traffic consumer sites, and the results were clear—legacy detection techniques (CAPTCHAs, IP blocking, user-agent filtering) are largely ineffective. Here’s what we found.
