The following article originally appeared on the Asimov’s Addendum Substack and is being republished here with the author’s permission. Are LLMs reliable? LLMs have built up a reputation for being unreliable. Small changes in the input can lead to massive changes in the output. The same prompt run t...
Photon Releases Spectrum: An Open-Source TypeScript Framework that Deploys AI Agents Directly to iMessage, WhatsApp, and Telegram
For all the progress made in AI agent development over the past few years, one fundamental problem has remained largely unsolved: most people never actually interact with agents. They live behind developer dashboards, inside specialized apps that users are asked to download, and within chat interfac...
OpenAI Open-Sources Euphony: A Browser-Based Visualization Tool for Harmony Chat Data and Codex Session Logs
Debugging an AI agent that runs for dozens of steps: reading files, calling APIs, writing code, and revising its own output, is not like debugging a regular function. There is no single stack trace to read. Instead, developers are left staring at hundreds of lines of raw JSON, trying to reconstruct ...
Hugging Face Releases ml-intern: An Open-Source AI Agent that Automates the LLM Post-Training Workflow
Hugging Face has released ml-intern, an open-source AI agent designed to automate end-to-end post-training workflows for large language models (LLMs). Built on the company’s smolagents framework, the tool can autonomously perform literature review, dataset discovery, training script execution, and i...
A Coding Implementation to Build a Conditional Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization Pipeline with Hyperopt, TPE, and Early Stopping
In this tutorial, we implement an advanced Bayesian hyperparameter optimization workflow using Hyperopt and the Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) algorithm. We construct a conditional search space that dynamically switches between different model families, demonstrating how Hyperopt handles hie...
Google Introduces Simula: A Reasoning-First Framework for Generating Controllable, Scalable Synthetic Datasets Across Specialized AI Domains
Training powerful AI models depends on one resource that is quietly running out: specialized data. While the internet provided a seemingly infinite supply of text and images to train today’s generalist models, the next wave of AI breakthroughs — in cybersecurity, legal reasoning, healthcare, and oth...
Bond, a new social media platform, wants to use AI to help you kick your doomscrolling habit
Bond wants you to get off the couch and get back into the real world, its creator says. The new platform's AI system is designed to motivate users to do things away from the app.
As AI agents grow more autonomous, trust can't rely on logs alone. In this this article, I explore how cryptographic techniques — from content-addressed code to tamper-evident audit trails — are laying the groundwork for a new era of verifiable, auditable AI.
The following article originally appeared on “Dan Shapiro’s blog” and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. Companies are now producing dark factories—engines that turn specs into shipping software. The implementations can be complex and sometimes involve Mad Max metaphors. But they d...
A Coding Implementation on Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B Covering Multimodal Inference, Thinking Control, Tool Calling, MoE Routing, RAG, and Session Persistence
In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end implementation around Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B and explore how a modern multimodal MoE model can be used in practical workflows. We begin by setting up the environment, loading the model adaptively based on available GPU memory, and creating a reusable chat framework...
Moonshot AI Releases Kimi K2.6 with Long-Horizon Coding, Agent Swarm Scaling to 300 Sub-Agents and 4,000 Coordinated Steps
Moonshot AI, the Chinese AI lab behind the Kimi assistant, today open-sourced Kimi K2.6 — a native multimodal agentic model that pushes the boundaries of what an AI system can do when left to run autonomously on hard software engineering problems. The release targets practical deployment scenarios: ...
A Coding Implementation on Microsoft’s Phi-4-Mini for Quantized Inference Reasoning Tool Use RAG and LoRA Fine-Tuning
In this tutorial, we build a pipeline on Phi-4-mini to explore how a compact yet highly capable language model can handle a full range of modern LLM workflows within a single notebook. We begin by setting up a stable environment, loading Microsoft’s Phi-4-mini-instruct in efficient 4-bit quantizatio...
Compute Is the New Territory: The Geopolitics of Quantum AI Supremacy
Nations are weaponizing compute, energy, and quantum research to secure global power. Explore how quantum AI supremacy is reshaping global geopolitics and security.
We all read it in the daily news. The New York Times reports that economists who once dismissed the AI job threat are now taking it seriously. In February, Jack Dorsey cut 40% of Block’s workforce, telling shareholders that “intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company.” ...
