What's the best programming language for coding agents?
This somewhat widely cited post (I keep seeing it cited, anyway) suggests that dynamic languages and/or languages that represent things more concisely are more token efficient. It seems to be cited enough that LLM search results agree. For example, when I searched for "dynamic vs static language token cost" (no…

AI can code, but it can't build software
AI can write code, but it can’t build real software. Software engineering remains human work because AI can code, not engineer.

OpenAI's plans according to Sam Altman removed at OpenAI's request
Last week I had the privilege to sit down with Sam Altman and 20 other developers to discuss OpenAI’s product plans. Sam was remarkably open. The discussion touched on practical developer issues as well as bigger-picture questions related to OpenAI’s mission and the societal impact of AI. Here are the key takeaways.

Why host your own LLM?
In the Terminator movies, good relationships beat technological superiority. Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor outwit the advanced T-800 who in turn helps Sarah and John beat the ultra-advanced T-1000. OpenAI’s GPT-4 is currently the most advanced publicly available language model. There are also analyses showing it’s…

Examples to compare OCR services: Amazon vs. Google vs. Microsoft
We're building a note app that needs to do OCR as well as possible. We hoped there would be a good modern 2019 comparison of the image OCR services, but as of July 2019, there wasn't, so we wrote one.

Open sourcing Sonnet – a new library for constructing neural networks
It’s now nearly a year since DeepMind made the decision to switch the entire research organisation to using TensorFlow (TF). It’s proven to be a good choice - many of our models learn significantly faster, and the built-in features for distributed training have hugely simplified our code. Along the way, we found that…

The state of AI for hand-drawn animation inbetweening
There are many potential ways to use AI 1 (and computers in general) for 2D animation. I’m currently interested in a seemingly conservative goal: to improve the productivity of a traditional hand-drawn full animation workflow by AI assuming responsibilities similar to those of a human assistant.

Enabling developers and organizations to use differential privacy
Whether you're a city planner, a small business owner, or a software developer, gaining useful insights from data can help make services work better and answer important questions. But, without strong privacy protections, you risk losing the trust of your citizens, customers, and users.
