The release of Kimi K3 has opened a fresh round of angst and confused discourse.

I had my first encounter with a political spambot this week: a polite robot named Emma texted me wanting to talk about Israel.

An ever-increasing volume of debug investigations, document writing, and code is written by robots.

It's been a rough few months for Anthropic.

Sora is dead.

Debate about whether the explosion of datacenter buildout will prove to be a worthwhile investment centers on two scenarios: AI adoption accelerates, the datacenter investment pays out AI adoption is not as fast as forecasted, and it doesn't.

For LLM-based applications to be truly useful, they need predictability: While the free-text nature of LLMs means the range of acceptable outcomes is wider than with traditional programs, I still need consistent behavior: if I ask an AI personal assistant…

This is a brief overview of my advice for new grads and junior software engineers.

OpenAI launched its GPT Store this week.

MemGPT is an interesting project which provides GPT agents with unbounded memory.
