NanoGPT Slowrun: 10x Data Efficiency with Infinite Compute
We've achieved 10x data efficiency with NanoGPT Slowrun within a few weeks. An ensemble of 1.8B parameter models (18B total params) trained on 100M tokens matches what would normally require 1B tokens with a standard LM baseline. Data efficiency matters because compute grows much faster than data . Since our current…

GPT-5.6 Luna vs. GPT-6 Astra: Is a $1.20 Model Good Enough for Code Review?
Run a cheap model on every PR and escalate to a stronger one: on 50 PRs it found 120 verified bugs for $4.13 versus 108 for GPT-5.6 Sol alone.

LLMs Are Not a Higher Level of Abstraction
" A picture is worth 10K words - but only those to describe the picture. Hardly any sets of 10K words can be adequately described with pictures."

The Low-Tech AI of Elden Ring
FROMSOFT has a reputation for diverse and punishing npc encounters across the entire Soulsborne extended series, but the implementation of the AI decision making itself is perhaps unexpectedly low-tech. Since the majority of the code is implemented in Havok Script (A games-oriented Lua implementation from Havok) it’s…

My article on why AI is great (or terrible) or how to use it
Senior engineers are best positioned to benefit from AI. We're good enough to avoid slop, and there's so much we can accomplish. I wouldn't go back.

Interfaze: A new model architecture built for high accuracy at scale
A complete walkthrough of Interfaze: what it is, who we benchmark against (Gemini-3-Flash, Claude-Sonnet-4.6, GPT-5.4-Mini, Grok-4.3, plus task specialists like Reducto, SAM 3, Scribe v2), full results across 9 benchmarks, and code examples for OCR, object detection, and web search.

Vintage Artificial Intelligence: Before It Got Awkward
Long before the current kerfuffle about LLMs, Generative AI Artwork, and asking your tax preparation chatbot for a cookie recipe, the concept of artificial intelligence and synthetic life was a pervasive theme in creative and engineering works. We have the ground-breaking appearance of Rossum's Universal Robots (or…

EFF to Courts: Don't Rewrite Copyright over AI Hype
New markets, new ideas, and new creators are actually what copyright is supposed to promote, not restrict. Using copyright to lock in existing gatekeepers and massive rightsholders’ profits helps neither the public nor individual artists.

Zluda 6 release (run unmodified CUDA applications on non-Nvidia GPUs)
Hi, and welcome to the latest ZLUDA update! Since I skipped the last update, this special issue covers all the developments made in ZLUDA since the start of the year. We now have two new major workloads: PhysX ( PhysX pre-alpha ) and Blender ( Textures support ). Much of this overlaps with Much improved Windows…

AI, Tools and Transformation
It’s very tempting to imagine that AI turns everyone into a tool-builder - now everyone can just ask the model to make the software they need, and apps as we know them are dead. I think that misunderstands how most people think and where software actually comes from, and more importantly, it isn’t
