An Intuitive Explanation of Sparse Autoencoders for LLM Interpretability
Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) have recently become popular for interpretability of machine learning models (although sparse dictionary learning has been around since 1997). Machine learning models and LLMs are becoming more powerful and useful, but they are still black boxes, and we don’t understand how they do the…

Why are executives enamored with AI, but ICs aren't?
Executives love AI while ICs stay skeptical. The divide comes down to non-determinism: who is evaluated on judgment versus deterministic execution.

In the long run, LLMs make us dumber
The comfort we get when offloading our cognitive load to LLMs is bad for us. Cognitive load should exist, and if we reduce it too much – if we stop thinking – we can actually unlearn how to think. Kids who always choose the easy route and copy their homework from other students eventually find […]

What even is a small language model now?
If you asked someone in 2018 what a "small model" was, they'd probably say something with a few million parameters that ran on a Raspberry Pi or your phone. Fast-forward to today, and we're calling 30B parameter models "small"—because they only need ...

Why AutoGPT engineers ditched vector databases
AutoGPT decided to drop the support for vector databases: Pinecone, Milvus, Redis, Weaviate - all gone. What has happened to the original idea of efficiently storing agent's memories?

Building an AI agent inside a 7-year-old Rails monolith
We run a multi-tenant Rails application with sensitive data and layered authorization. In this post, I walk through how I added the first AI agent tool using RubyLLM, Pundit policies, and our existing Algolia search, without introducing a parallel system or loosening constraints.

The Age of Agent Experience
AI agents are here—from ChatGPT Operator to coding tools like Devin and Lovable, there’s a rapid growth of products that can interact with websites on our behalf. It’s time to start building for a new persona: the autonomous agent. Instead of just designing experiences for human users, we need to think carefully about…

Computation Graphs and Graph Computation
Research has begun to reveal many algorithms can be expressed as matrix multiplication, suggesting an unrealized connection between linear algebra and computer science. I speculate graphs are the missing piece of the puzzle. Graphs are not only useful as cognitive aides, but are suitable data structures for a wide…

Silent speech with ultrasound
We trained a model to predict speech from ultrasound video of the tongue, no speaking required. It reads open text, generalizes across people, and reaches a 15.6% word error rate on open-vocabulary speech.
