AI makes tech debt more expensive
AI increases the penalty for low quality code. Gauge is solving the monolith/microservices dilemma. We’re building tools to untangle codebases through incremental modularization. Our open-source toolkit supports defining and enforcing rules for interfaces and dependencies. By focusing on high cohesion and loose…

We can't have nice things because of AI scrapers
In the past few months the MetaBrainz team has been fighting a battle against unscrupulous AI companies ignoring common courtesies (such as robots.txt) and scraping the Internet in order to build up their AI models . Rather than downloading our dataset in one complete download, they insist on loading all of…

A bug that taught me more about PyTorch than years of using it
a loss plateau that looked like my mistake turned out to be a PyTorch bug. tracking it down meant peeling back every layer of abstraction, from optimizer internals to GPU kernels.

OpenAI's misalignment and Microsoft's gain
The end of a dramatic weekend in tech is that OpenAI has split and Microsoft is partnered with one and has hired the other; this is the ultimate failure case of what should have been a for-profit c…

A messy experiment that changed how I think about AI code analysis
A messy experiment that changed how we think about AI code analysis Last week, I watched our AI choke on a React codebase - again. As timeout errors flooded my terminal, something clicked. We’d been teaching AI to read code like a fresh bootcamp grad, not a senior developer. Here’s what I mean.

WaveNet launches in the Google Assistant
Just over a year ago we presented WaveNet, a new deep neural network for generating raw audio waveforms that is capable of producing better and more realistic-sounding speech than existing techniques. At that time, the model was a research prototype and was too computationally intensive to work in consumer products.

A Jev that can ask Opus for help gives Opus accuracy at 4x lower cost
We tested Jev and GPT-6 Luna as judges for identity resolution. A hybrid of Jev and Claude Opus matched frontier accuracy at over 4x lower cost.

A supply chain attack on PyTorch
Security tends to lag behind adoption, and AI/ML is no exception. Four months ago, Adnan Khan and I exploited a critical CI/CD vulnerability in PyTorch, one of the world’s leading ML platform…

Prompt injection: what’s the worst that can happen?
Activity around building sophisticated applications on top of LLMs (Large Language Models) such as GPT-3/4/ChatGPT/etc is growing like wildfire right now. Many of these applications are potentially vulnerable to prompt …
