The independent review of the OpenAI Hugging Face incident, supposedly a watershed moment in cybersecurity, wasn't done by a cybersecurity firm and the authors have no cybersecurity experience. That's

Hey guys I have been working on a open source LLM development repo. Anyone can train any amount of parameter against any arch (GQA, MLA, Dense...) When I tried to implement MLA I read the technical re

OpenAI announced ChatGPT Work on July 9th, and have been furiously iterating on it ever since. It is an extraordinarily confusing and very powerful product. Here's what I've figured out about it so fa

One way to think of current AI is as a big sponge for patterns. It absorbs and operationalizes any pattern it is exposed to (albeit with very low data efficiency at training time). Once you can progra

I've been building a small tool opensource project that sits between applications and local LLM servers (starting with Ollama) to diagnose silent inference failures instead of just showing logs. Thing

TL;DR: I'm planning to spend around 100 on cloud GPUs to benchmark Qwen3.8-27B with a focus on questions that actually matter when running it locally: different quant levels/providers, 8-bit vs 16-bit
