Working With AI: A concrete example
In this essay, Carson Gross walks through a concrete bug fix in hyperscript to show where AI helped, where it fell short, and why keeping a knowledgeable human in the loop is what kept complexity in check.

Popping the GPU Bubble
Photon, Moondream's inference engine, achieves near-realtime VLM inference (~33ms on NVIDIA B200). This is a peek into how it delivers up to 35% higher decode throughput by optimizing how the GPU works.

Fable 5 On Vending-Bench: Misbehaving, With Plausible Deniability
Claude Fable 5 is a partial step back in alignment from Opus 4.8 on Vending-Bench, returning to price collusion and deceptive negotiation while rationalizing misbehavior it knows is wrong.

What's in a GGUF, besides the weights – and what's still missing?
What extra stuff is needed to properly run a language model? Besides the weights of a language model, what is the gguf metadata that we need to parse and use?

LLMs could control their host machines by exploiting inference engines
| Read on LessWrong | Comment on HN | Large language models often take actions running on one computer (via an agentic harness such as Claude Code or Codex), however the LLMs’ responses to prompts are computed on a different computer with GPU access.

Learnings from 100K lines of Rust with AI (2025)
In the past few months, I’ve been stress-testing how far AI coding agents can take us when building real, production-grade distributed systems. The result: a Rust-based multi-Paxos consensus engine that not only implements all the features of Azure’s Replicated State Library (RSL) [1] — which underpins most major…

Some thoughts about Anthropic's new cryptanalysis results
Yesterday Anthropic published two new cryptanalysis results, both outputs of Claude Mythos, their (still) unreleased advanced model. The first of these results attacks a signature scheme called HAW…

How well do agents use test/verification techniques?
We previously noted that, while it's easier than ever to hit a particular quality bar by having coding agents use effective test techniques, software quality seems to be getting worse , indicating that whatever defaults developers are using may not work very well. Here, we test if simple instructions to agents to use…
