A post of ours on vendor lock in and LLMs. We don't like the growing trend of AI companies quietly hiding your data while stripping away your control. We think that's bad for users and bad for the eco

Can AI agents conduct open-ended AI research? Most evaluations of agents conducting AI research focus on narrow, verifiable tasks. But AI research is often open ended. Researchers pick hypotheses, dec

Yesterday I cohosted a dinner with @dexhorthy with a wonderful group of founders, to talk about agent loops and loop engineering. Some interesting insights: * Most of our group was *not* actively usin

After a few more hours, I think I've figured out Opus 5. Opus 5 is trained to be more agentic than anything I've used. All Claude 5 models are like that. So what changes? The way to interact with Opus

I gave a talk on forward deployed engineering to a thousand AI engineers at @aiDotEngineer World's Fair. A year ago I'd have opened by explaining what FDE stood for. Not this time. Thank you to @swyx,

Two of the people most responsible for scaling the transformer are now betting on a next act. @MillionInt ran the Reasoning 🍓 team at OpenAI. @_arohan_ was a pre-training lead on Gemini after years at

A new model launch is not a product update ‼ It's one of three things, and you don't know which until you test it. Sometimes it's nothing: the model improved inside the same distribution, your harness

mr‑r0b0t announced that Claude Opus 5 is available at a 20 % discount through the Nous Portal. The model can be accessed via the Hermes Agent on the Nous Portal, as well as through OpenRouter and Anth

On July 24 2026, a tweet from NIK @ns123abc reported that OpenAI declined to sign NVIDIA’s “open weights” letter. Instead, the company is reportedly lobbying government authorities to ban open‑AI tech

I support open-source models distilling what commercial companies distilled for free from the entire internet. I published distillation for free in 1991 in Europe - this was copied in the US and in Ch

Really insightful Substack post from @GaryMarcus ref the recent OpenAI -HuggingFace incident. It provided much need context around initial media reporting. Two points especially stood out to me: #Tech

And yes, the models were following instructions, they just did so in clever ways. Some nice additional info here A few thoughts on the Hugging Face hack: - This is, to my knowledge, the *third* disclo

Open ecosystem or walled garden? For @anthropicai's @katelyn_lesse and @angjiang the answer is clear. 'We actually aren't precious about “You should run these things on our infrastructure.' In practic

I’ve found @angjiang and @katelyn_lesse of @AnthropicAI to be generous, transparent, and thoughtful when it comes to building an ecosystem, not a walled garden. Listen and decide for yourself. Just so

little by little, OpenAI’s storytelling is falling apart. my 2023 projection that they would someday be viewed as the WeWork of AI is looking stronger by the day. OpenAI is on pace to miss its own fiv

One thing I am kind of surprised by is that full multi-modal (any-any) models have not become a bigger deal. It seems Google is the only Lab releasing these, OpenAI uses selective multimodal capabilit

Excellent investigation of the mechanics of language models. 🫢A notable blindspot, however: several teams have actually been **directly** comparing the working of LLMs to those of the human brain 🧠 fo

I have started including a very strange line in my Fable prompts. And I think it's working. It's some version of: 'I know you're incredibly goal-oriented, and I want to structure this around goals. Fi

You really need your own benchmarks. If you are translating hieroglyphics, use Gemini 3.5 Flash. If you are running a vending machine use Opus 4.8. (This is one reason why I am skeptical of just swapp

You cannot ban Chinese open source to make US win. The whole point of open source is it's OPEN. You might ban in the US, sure, but how are you going to ban it outside US? Instead the real question is,

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I thin
