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…
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 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.
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...

A journey into Kindle A.I. slop hell with Leah Beckmann
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
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…
Astra is the first OpenAI model to meet the Critical cybersecurity capability threshold under the Preparedness Framework, with stronger safeguards for release.
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…
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, Google’s sixth-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is now GA, delivering enhanced performance and cost-effectiveness for AI workloads.
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? We put a new model to the test with a field trip around Cambridge. The results...

We’ve seen incredible adoption of SAM 3 over the last few months, and during that time, we’ve been working behind the scenes on updates to improve video processing efficiency. Today, we’re pleased to introduce SAM 3.1.

Build AI responsibly to benefit humanity
[UPDATE 2026-06-09]: a few months on, I have more misgivings than certainties about this.
Last night I had a very strange experience: About two thirds of the way through reading a Web page about myself, Tim Bray, I succumbed to boredom and killed the tab. Thus my introduction to Grokipedia . Here are early impressions.
Lately I’ve heard a lot of stories of AI accidentally deleting entire codebases or wiping production databases . But in my case it was the other way around. I removed some working code and the LLM helped me to recover it.
Augmenting GPT-3 with tools is a popular technique right now. But is GPT-3 really using them?
We released Mojo local download for Linux systems on September 7th, and in just over a month we’ve seen tens of thousands of downloads and amazing community projects such as llama.🔥and Infermo. We deeply value your feedback, as Mojicians, and we appreciate every single PR, feature request, and bug report.
Just because it matters doesn’t mean it’s defensible or profitable
