Notes on gotchas while migrating 35kb preprompts from Opus to self-hosted Ollama
Maybe you’re a Claude code/codex user diligently avoiding uploading personal data to LLM providers. Is it possible that the most valuable information isn’t your data- but the metadata about your sessions? The intuitions you apply in coming up with ways to coax the ai into solving problems might actually be special…

Automating AI Away
A. Karpathy once said that OpenAI researchers are effectively "automating themselves away" by improving their AI. Right now I develop Beagle SCM with Anthropic's Fable and it is of course a brilliant model able to spot nits in a mountain of code, file tickets, make fixes. Still, yesterday it managed to commit the…

A 3D Body from Eight Questions – No Photo, No GPU
We trained an MLP that predicts 58 body shape parameters from 8 questionnaire inputs. The trick: a differentiable physics loss. Mass accuracy: 0.3 kg mean vs 3.9 kg for Ridge. No GPU at inference.

Why I don't think AGI is imminent
The CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic have both claimed that human-level AI is just around the corner — and at times, that it's already here. These claims have generated enormous public attention. There has been some technical scrutiny of these claims, but critiques rarely reach the public discourse. This piece is a sketch…

Apideck CLI – An AI-agent interface with much lower context consumption than MCP
TL;DR: MCP tool definitions can burn 55,000+ tokens before an agent processes a single user message. We built the Apideck CLI as an AI-agent interface instead:an ~80-token agent prompt replaces tens of thousands of tokens of schema, with progressive disclosure via `--help` and structural safety baked into the binary…

Using Claude to reduce the attack surface of code
Automated attack surface analysis and reduction can meaningfully improve the security of deployed software in the near term. In this post, we preview data we’ve collected from applying attack surface reduction techniques to large open-source codebases using Claude.

Why don't machine learning research agents overfit?
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.

I built a programming language using Claude Code
Over the course of four weeks in January and February, I built a new programming language using Claude Code. I named it Cutlet after my cat. It’s completely legal to do that. You can find the source code on GitHub , along with build instructions and example programs .

3D Gaussian Splatting in a Weekend
Introduction 3D Gaussian splatting is a technique that answers this question: given a dataset of pictures of a scene, how can I reconstruct it in 3D? This is achieved using a machine learning algorithm that, for many different camera angles, does the following: render the scene, compare it to the picture taken at the…

Attack of the Vibe Coded Photoshop Clones
Over the last several months I have been tracking AI guys trying to create vibe coded clones of popular apps, especially Adobe’s apps which have always been the most pirated apps since the 90s. There are now about a dozen vibe coded attempts to clone Photoshop and some other Adobe apps, not incl
