Introduction to Monte Carlo Tree Search
The subject of game AI generally begins with so-called perfect information games. These are turn-based games where the players have no information hidden from each other and there is no element of chance in the game mechanics (such as by rolling dice or drawing cards from a shuffled deck). Tic Tac Toe, Connect 4…

I am frustrated with Stable Diffusion
I really want to make a game along the line of Myst. I have been collecting puzzles for years, and I have almost enough. I am flexible about the visual style. I’ve considered making sets out of lego, or cardboard , or cut paper. And I’ve considered AI-generated art.

Fixing Tool-Call Accuracy in vLLM
Tool call accuracy is an important part of serving open-weight AI models. When your tool calls aren’t accurate, the model builds up on nonsensical context. We’ve been carrying our own fork of vLLM to hit 100% in tool call schema accuracy with Kimi and DeepSeek. Fortunately, vLLM 0.31 added support for constrained…

New chips for machine intelligence
This note summarises details of some of the new silicon chips for machine intelligence. Its aim is to distil the most important implementation and architectural details (at least those that are currently available), to highlight the main differences between them. I’m focusing on chips designed for training since they…

Asylo: an open-source framework for confidential computing
Protecting data is the number one consideration when running workloads in the cloud. While cloud infrastructures offer numerous security controls, some enterprises want additional verifiable isolation for their most sensitive workloads—capabilities which have become known as confidential computing. Today we’re excited…
