vLLM is an open-source inference engine that serves large language models. We deploy vLLM across GPUs and load open weight models like Llama 4 into it. vLLM sits at the intersection of AI and systems programming, so we thought that diving into its details might interest our readers.
We’re releasing gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—two state-of-the-art open-weight language models that deliver strong real-world performance at low cost. Available under the flexible Apache 2.0 license, these models outperform similarly sized open models on reasoning tasks, demonstrate strong tool use capabilities, and…
The economy will literally double every year afterwards
HealthBench is a new evaluation benchmark for AI in healthcare which evaluates models in realistic scenarios. Built with input from 250+ physicians, it aims to provide a shared standard for model performance and safety in health.
For a while now I’ve been hearing from engineers who run multiple coding agents at once—firing up several Claude Code or Codex CLI instances at the same time, sometimes in …
All JetBrains AI tools – including our improved AI Assistant and new coding agent Junie – are now available within our IDEs under a single subscription and come with a free tier.
From Multi-Head to Latent Attention: The Evolution of Attention Mechanisms What is attention? In any autoregressive model, the prediction of the future tokens is based on some preceding context …
LLMs are making software engineers dumber.
AI tools were supposed to free up our time—but they’re increasing our cognitive load and making us less productive. Here’s what’s really happening (and how to use them without burning out).
Big Tech broke the internet, and this old man’s got a few things to say about it.
We describe an approach to tracing the “step-by-step” computation involved when a model responds to a single prompt.
OpenAI released GPT-5 yesterday, promoting it as their best model yet for agentic coding.

I was expecting this to be pretty bad - but it actually came out quite nicely!
IBM Slapped the Buzzwords 'AI Interpretability' on Generalized Continued Fractions and their Series Transformations and was awarded a Patent
How cubic reduced noisy AI code review comments with reasoning logs, fewer tools, specialized agents, and evaluation before changes reached production.
Animate Anyone 2: High-Fidelity Character Image Animation with Environment Affordance
At Waymo, our mission is to be the world’s most trusted driver. We know trust is built through consistent behavior over time—earned through every mile we drive and every interaction we have with the community. This past Saturday, as a widespread PG&E outage cut power to nearly one-third of San Francisco, our service…
ChatGPT and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
AI, history, and Soviet sci-fi
AI tried to take launch results into their own... hands? And it caused some heartbreak.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have transformed natural language processing, but face significant challenges in widespread deployment due to…
The reasons why I don’t give permission for material I’ve written to be used as training data for an LLM chatbot designed to do Christian apologetics
If you thought the 2008 bank bailout was bad, wait til you see the 2026 AI bailout
The last five years have shown us that large language models, like ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek, can write code in many domains, to huge excitement: many claim to be using these models to write entire web servers and apps from scratch. These tools have opened up programming to a whole new class of people who consider…
The craft of AI-assisted software creation is substantially about correctly managing units of work.
