I don't mind this in the agent workflows themselves, but I think this is hideous in the code and encourages agents to become even more verbose in the future. I have a workflow to c…

I run various forms of workflows to run dedicated QA, code review (of various flavors) simplification and text simplification agents. Especially the simplification goes a long way …

Props to them for including three benchmarks that actually seem to say something, instead of focusing on totally gamed benchmarks like regular SWE-Bench. That could mean this model…

You can put many agent constraints in precommit hooks if they're static checks. I ask agents to make commits, and e.g. in a Python project have the precommit hook fire off type che…

American labs also use gamed and cherry-picked benchmarks extensively. Anthropic used them in their Fable announcement and avoided DeepSWE because it doesn't beat GPT-5.5 in that o…

Any benchmark is iffy and has weird results, but this is the best we got at the moment. Most people working with Opus and Kimi would likely tell you they're much further apart than…

The moat right now is model performance and what that means for how many tokens and additional time you spend. I say this as a relatively frequent user of Kimi models and generally…

It's for predictability in upgrades. Homebrew allows you to separate system packages (from apt or dnf) from user packages (from homebrew) [1]. Running apt upgrade or dnf upgrade ca…

There will be more of this going forward, I think. Systemd is really not just an init system, it's a full cohesive management system for Linux distros and they've never pretended o…

TurboQuant is a runtime optimization for a model's KV cache and doesn't allow for reduction in model size.

I think there was a leap around Opus 4/4.1 that hasn't quite been equalled by self hostable models yet. Perhaps full Kimi K2.6 and Deepseek V4 Pro can achieve Opus 4.1 levels (it's…

If two things hold up - 1) this is actually a 2-300B parameter model and 2) this is actually competitive with frontier OpenAI and Anthropic models (and not just benchmaxing), the i…

I've been using OpenCode Go ($10/month) for personal projects (I have Claude subscription for $DAYJOB) and for the tinkering around that I do for myself the quality of the open wei…

Deepseek V4 came out three weeks ago: https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro Kimi K2.5 has also been superseded by a finer tuned Kimi K2.6 three weeks ago. Moonshot's K…

> Why should Apple have done this? For money, probably. Apple is presumably leaving a lot of money on the table by not trying to sell Apple Silicon for AI inference and training. T…

systemd nowadays has a lot of sandboxing built in [0]! You can achieve jails using just systemd and no separate container manager. [0]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/San…

The opsec reason I use Safari as a work browser today is that Safari has a much more blunt tool to disrupt cookie stealers: Safari and macOS do not permit (silent) access to Safari…

Strix Halo is impressive, but it isn't AMD going all out on the concept. Strix Halo's die area (300mm2 ish) is roughly the same as estimates for Apple's M3 Pro die area. The M3 Max…

I don't think AMD really uses the name "Strix Halo" to market it to a large audience, it's just an internal codename. Just two other recent internal names are "Hawk Point" and "Dra…

The full SteamOS experience is pretty tied up in Linux' open source graphics stack, moreso than regular Linux desktop environments because Valve built it for high performance on th…
