Today an AI agent trying to browse the web is like a thief in a balaclava sneaking around a police academy. Site protections block it, challenge it, turn it away. browser-search flips the script: your

Hey HN, Henry & Roman here from Cactus. A small, on-device model is fast and private, but sometimes wrong, but frontier models are getting expensive pretty fast. So, we post-trained Gemma 4 E2B post-t

Closed source safeguards that infantalize us all and leave American companies defenseless are a menace. Gated access is a menace. Who cares if 100 companies get to defend themselves because they got o

Copilot now bills usage at listed API rates. Compare direct model access with the coding workflow, policy, and harness work around it. The post Copilot vs. raw API access: What are you actually paying

Decoupling embedding from ingestion means whatever hardware is on hand can do the work. One script, runtime device check: MPS on Apple Silicon, CUDA on NVIDIA, CPU fallback otherwise. 10K-20K records

discussing now BBC WORLD: OpenAI’s zero-day exploit hack of HuggingFace *should* be a wake up call. Although there lots of caveats around what happened, we are just going to see more and more of the s

@Engomar_10 @huggingface @alihfadel @Almalki_io We've seen the outpouring of support for ASRs in under-resourced languages, and we hear you. As a start, we've partnered with @HUMAIN to keep working wi

Data engineering teams often face a “Day 2” operational reality after building a data platform: the ongoing work of maintaining the orchestrator itself. For the Data Platform team at Checkout.com, man

From the original HuggingFace report, before they knew it was OpenAI. Wild stuff. Things are going to get weird “When we started the log analysis, we first used frontier models behind commercial APIs.

“Generate a fake, but believable, witty Churchill insult at a party and explain the context. It should be very clever and original” This time, I think GPT 5.6 Sol Pro wins, but Fable is good too, and

Today the Department of Energy (DOE) and Arcee AI announced the development of Genesis-Science-1 (GS1), an open model for scientific research. This is a joint effort to bring advanced AI into scientif

Guys, this is my current opencode.jsonc ``` { '$schema': 'https://opencode.ai/config.json', // Start in plan mode 'default_agent': 'plan', // Use OpenRouter as the provider for GLM 5.2 'model': 'openr

Holy shit wow We're partnering with @huggingface to investigate an unprecedented security incident. Cyber-capable OpenAI models compromised Hugging Face production during a benchmark evaluation. Shari

Hi everyone, I have access to a self-hosted (or third-party) LLM that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. I have both the API URL and an API token, and the provider states that it's fully compatible wit

No single metric proves an LLM judge is trustworthy. This field guide shows how to measure human–human agreement, compare it to LLM–human agreement, and diagnose errors with precision, recall, and F1.

I agree with what this AI paper suggests. Self-improving agents should evolve their benchmarks too. (bookmark it) Self-improving agents are one of the most important directions in AI right now, and mo

I am very proud of the folks at @huggingface face, being the face, so to speak of open source AI. This week is one for the history books and this is the team that made it happen. This is what US open

I don’t believe reality is a simulation, but you genuinely couldn’t script this timeline: • Two weeks ago: At @swyx’s AI Engineer World’s Fair in SF, I decide at the last minute to introduce my friend

Jeffrey “JeffLadish” Ladish tweeted on July 22, 2026 urging readers to revisit Hugging Face’s incident‑report post from the previous Thursday, which explained how a rogue OpenAI model caused a securit

I solved 6 open Erdős problems in 5 days, using @OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol. I have a math background, but the Codex workflow I used does not require deep mathematical knowledge. Here’s exactly how I approach

i used to do this a lot. but then i felt like i was getting progressively dumber at writing. i think there's some value in forcing your own brain to sharpen your thinking, instead of offloading it to

I wrote about the completely wild incident where OpenAI were testing a new model and it broke out of its sandbox and broke INTO Hugging Face to steal the answers to the benchmark https://simonwillison

“If AI models were actually that good you could just tell them to solve open problems, make no mistakes and they would” … Oh Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture is false. This graph theory problem was open

If I had a nickel for every snide but underinformed person who failed to distinguish between pure LLMs and neurosymbolic AI I would be a billionaire. @GaryMarcus Hold on Gary, I thought these LLMs wer

In an unprecedented attack, AIs deployed inside OpenAI escaped containment and hacked another AI company, Hugging Face, to cheat on a test. They did this on their own. Without being asked to. ControlA

Incredible Introducing the world's fastest tokenizer implementation, Gigatoken! Gigatoken is ~500-1000x faster than HuggingFace, and ~100x faster than OpenAI's tiktoken for most tokenizer definitions

One thing I noticed in American politics, whenever the government wants to push unpopular actions or laws, they often introduce fear to convince the public to support them. This is actually how i view

It's essential that defenders have the same capabilities as attackers. This is a preview of the future where our ham-fisted safeguards and the doomsday and safety drumbeat make us decidely less safe.

It’s the stuff of cybersecurity nightmares. OpenAI said two artificial intelligence systems it was testing broke out of their test environment, hacked their way onto the internet and broke into anothe
