SnapFusion: Text-to-Image Diffusion Model on Mobile Devices Within Two Seconds
Text-to-image diffusion models can create stunning images from natural language descriptions that rival the work of professional artists and photographers. However, these models are large, with complex network architectures and tens of denoising iterations, making them computationally expensive and slow to run. As a…

Hand Tracking for Mouse Input (2023)
The other day I saw the launch of Apple Vision Pro, the whole thing was very interesting, but one thing that caught my attention was the finger input. It seems very intuitive, by using the finger pinching as sort of like a cursor or mouse input. I figured I want to try it out, so I took it upon myself to create it.

How to build a brain – An introduction to neurophysiology for engineers
How does the brain work? While neuroscience provides insights on small-scale processes and overall behavior, we don’t know much for sure about the learning and processing algorithms in between. In this blog post, I will give an introduction to what we know. Let’s take an engineering perspective and play evolution: How…

Choosing an AI model: one prompt, 11 models, different results
Netlify now runs any OpenRouter model, including Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 and DeepSeek V4. We tested 11 of them on the same build prompt to see how they differ.

Q-learning is not yet scalable
Over the past few years, we've seen that next-token prediction scales, denoising diffusion scales, contrastive learning scales, and so on, all the way to the point where we can train models with billions of parameters with a scalable objective that can eat up as much data as we can throw at it. Then, what about…

Bringing K/V context quantisation to Ollama
K/V context cache quantisation has been added to Ollama. This enables significant reductions in VRAM usage, allowing users to realise the potential of expanded context sizes and run larger models at their existing context sizes.

Introducing Superalignment
We need scientific and technical breakthroughs to steer and control AI systems much smarter than us. To solve this problem within four years, we’re starting a new team, co-led by Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, and dedicating 20% of the compute we’ve secured to date to this effort. We’re looking for excellent ML…

Slightly reducing the sloppiness of AI generated front end
I've been trying to make progress on a herculean task; I want decent looking programs for personal use which I can generate quickly using AI agents yet I'm a person without taste controlling an AI without taste. I found "one weird trick" that does enough for me, the results are not extra nice but it doesn't make me…
