I Tested Four Ways to Give an AI Assistant a Memory. The Obvious One Was the Worst Value.
Pasting in the whole chat history cost 20 to 31 times more than looking up notes, and it did no better on the tasks.

We Specified an AI Agent in 2016. We Called It Analytics.
Re-reading my own IBM patent on real-time concert feedback as what it actually was: an agentic loop with multimodal perception, memory-grounded inference, and a human in the loop. What it got right, and what a decade of hindsight teaches agent builders today.

AI Agents Beat PyTorch: Writing Faster CUDA Kernels
AI agents can now write CUDA kernels that outperform PyTorch—but proving those speedups are real is the harder problem. I put them to the test on an NVIDIA DGX Spark and found that benchmark design matters just as much as the code.
