CPUs Aren't Dead. Gemma2B Out Scored GPT-3.5 Turbo on Test That Made It Famous
Gemma 2B scored ~8.0 on MT-Bench. GPT-3.5 Turbo scored 7.94. An 87-times-smaller model on a laptop CPU, no GPU anywhere in the stack. We published the full tape — every question, every turn, every score — so anyone can verify it. We found seven failure classes. Not hallucinations. Specific patterns: arithmetic where…
Docker Model Runner

Beyond Recall and the Illusion of Competence
The important question about AI-assisted programming isn't who writes the code. It's who understands the system.

Building unorthodox deep learning GPU machines
Today, I’m going to write a bit about our GPU cluster machine we call cogito at Driveline Baseball. I’m going to timebox these blog posts so I get them out and also save my sanity, so t…
Defense Against AI-Guided Traffic Analysis (Daita)
Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.
Automating Interactive Fiction Logic Generation with LLMs in Emacs

GitHub Models: A new generation of AI engineers building on GitHub
We are enabling the rise of the AI engineer with GitHub Models – bringing the power of industry leading large and small language models to our more than 100 million users directly on GitHub.
The future of artificial intelligence is self-organizing and self-assembling
This is the first post in a series I plan to write on the work from our group and others that combines ideas from deep learning with ideas from self-organization and collective systems. In this first post, we’ll look at some of the developed approaches and the domains they have…
Using machine learning to estimate lost demand in a fulfillment chain
How Instacart uses Machine Learning to spot lost demand in its fulfillment chain
AI Meets Cryptography 2: What AI Found in OpenVM's ZkVM
We turned zkao (our AI auditor) on OpenVM, a state-of-the-art zkVM, and it found a critical soundness bug: the pairing check accepted a prover-supplied witness without proper subfield checking, which lets a malicious prover forge any pairing equality. It is fixed in OpenVM 1.6.0 and tracked as CVE-2026-46669. This is…
Our Hybrid lda2vec Algorithm
The goal of lda2vec is to make volumes of text useful to humans (not machines!) while still keeping the model simple to modify. It learns the powerful word r...
Recognize Digits Using ML in Elixir
Machine learning allows you to solve once unimaginable problem. Elixir's support for machine learning through Nx and Axon let us do impressive thing while staying in our favorite language.
The Scaling Hypothesis (2021)
On GPT-3: meta-learning, scaling, implications, and deep theory. The scaling hypothesis: neural nets absorb data & compute, generalizing and becoming more Bayesian as problems get harder, manifesting new abilities even at trivial-by-global-standards-scale. The deep learning revolution has begun as foretold.

John Resig dissects the neural network javascript OCR captcha code
A pretty amazing piece of JavaScript dropped yesterday and it’s going to take a little bit to digest it all. It’s a GreaseMonkey script, written by ‘ Shaun Friedle ‘, that automatically solves captchas provided by the site Megaupload . There’s a demo online if you wish to give it a spin.
