If you’re on one of the cheaper Anthropic plans like me, it’s a pretty common scenario when you’re deep into Claude coding an idea, to hit a daily or weekly quota limit. If you want to keep going, you can connect to a local open source model instead of Anthropic. To monitor your current quota, type: /usage
Following the posting of the preprint paper “Artificial Intelligence, Scientific Discovery, and Product Innovation” on arXiv in November 2024, concerns were raised about the integrity of the research. MIT conducted an internal, confidential review and concluded that the paper should be withdrawn from public discourse.
The path to Vision Zero requires reducing severe crashes and improving the safety of those most at risk. Our latest research paper shows that the Waymo Driver is making significant strides in both areas. By reducing the most dangerous crashes and providing better protection for pedestrians, cyclists, and other…
<p>I've seen a few conversations where someone says something like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>I've been using an open-source LLM lately -- I'm a huge fan of not depending on OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. But I'm really sad that the AI safety groups are trying to ban the kind of open-source LLM that I'm using.</p>…
We trained diffusion large language models that are up to 10x faster and cheaper than current LLMs, pushing the frontier of intelligence and speed for language models.
One of my favourite uses for the GPT-3 AI language model is generating explanations of how code works. It’s shockingly effective at this: its training set clearly include a vast …
Keras and PyTorch are both excellent choices for your first deep learning framework. Learn how they differ and which one will suit your needs better.
Writing code is cheap now - Agentic Engineering Patterns
ChatGPT Images 2.5 helps turn your ideas, sketches, and reference photos into more personalized, polished images that better reflect your ideas.
AI research has structural problems that limit how much it can impact business. But understanding why gives a way to determine what will work and what won't, as well as reveal new business opportunities.
I would like to thank Microsoft product teams and Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) for collaborating with me on this technical analysis and mitigation of the disclosed vulnerabilities. The editorial opinions reflected below are solely the author’s and do not necessarily reflect those of the organizations I…
Images 2.6 brings faster image generation, GIF creation, more precise editing, and new API controls across ChatGPT, Codex, and the API.
As everyone is well aware, the world is still going nuts trying to develop more, newer and better AI tools. Mostly by throwing absurd amounts of money at the problem. Many of those billions go towards building cheap or free services that operate at a significant loss. The tech giants that run them all are hoping to…
Analysis of DeepSeek-R1 censorship using 1,156 political prompts exposing CCP content filtering and bias detection patterns
One paper that caught my attention a bit ago was Selective attention in hypothesis-driven data analysis by Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher. In their study, students who were given specific hypotheses to test were much less likely to notice an obvious “gorilla in the data” compared to students who explored the data…
2025 Year in Review of LLM paradigm changes
This post delves into the implementation of my procedural earth simulation, written entirely in GLSL fragment shaders. It simulates the complete history of an earth-like planet in a few minutes, with the simulation updating at 60 frames per second.
I am publishing this because many people are asking me how I did it, so I will explain. When I talk about a model, I'm talking about a huggingface…
On YouTube, there’s a long tail of content that pretty much guarantees the inclusion of every potential human interest. There are skate videos, makeup tutorials, and backyard surgical removals of blackheads. And yet the presentation of a lot of this content — especially when it’s trying to attract a large audience …
I like supporting local businesses but it's so disheartening to see the increasing use of genAI in their branding/marketing/etc. Yuck yuck YUCK!!!
The recent paper, “Low-Resource” Text Classification: A Parameter-Free Classification Method with Compressors by Jiang et al. [ link ] recently received a lot of attention on twitter.
A technical report on three bugs that intermittently degraded Claude's responses: what happened, why fixes took time, and what we're changing.
A TL;DR version of Andrej Karpathy's "Deep dive into LLMs like ChatGPT" video.
In this guide, we share findings experimenting with GPT-4 with Vision, released by OpenAI in September 2023.
I’ll get straight to the point: your AI coding agent, the one you use to write code, needs to reduce your maintenance costs. Not by a little bit, either. You write code twice as quick now? Better hope you’ve halved your maintenance costs. Three times as productive? One third the maintenance costs. Otherwise, you’re…
Most developers these days have heard of machine learning, but when trying to find an 'easy' way into this technique, most people find themselves getting scared off by the abstractness of the concept of Machine Learning and terms as regression , unsupervised learning , Probability Density Function and many other…

Moving on from a toy self-attention mechanism, it's time to find out how to build a real trainable one. Following Sebastian Raschka's book 'Build a Large Language Model (from Scratch)'. Part 8/??
On one side, LLMs show unseen capabilities in reasoning, but on the other - reasoning in LLMs is not ideal.
