    I think of "Federation" as aggregating content from disparate in-situ sources into a common index under a consistent schema. I agree that schema is good, am always tempted by big s…

    This work was performed by people across 13 institutions, invited and coordinated through the team at Northeastern. A research "swarm" seems like a great model for this kind of wor…

    Well - I've learned what a "formant" is today. Looking at the repo, it's not obvious to me what .md is authored by you vs system-generated. This is an observation, not a criticism.…

    This was a good read. I was struck by the quantity of nuanced and applied knowhow it took to build SmolLM3. I am curious about the rough cost it took to engineer and train SmolLM3 …
