Model Accuracy Is a Lie You Tell Yourself Before Shipping I used to be the engineer who stayed up until 2am squeezing another 0.3% out of a validation set. I thought that was the job. Then I shipped enough production systems to realize something uncomfortable: the models that got replaced fastest were often the most…
OpenAI Sora Is Dead. Here’s What That Actually Means. The product that made the AI world stop scrolling in February 2024 is being shut down. OpenAI Sora, the text-to-video model that looked like a genuine leap forward when it dropped, is being discontinued. Not pivoted. Not rebranded. Shut down. I’ve been sitting with this news…
The Context Window Arms Race Is Solving the Wrong Problem Everyone in AI tooling is chasing bigger context windows. Gemini 1.5 Pro hit 1 million tokens. Claude’s window sits at 200k. The marketing around these numbers is relentless, as if raw capacity is the thing standing between developers and a perfect AI coding session. It…
xAI’s “Imagine” Model and Why Platform Integration Is the Real Story Elon Musk posted a short tease on March 26th: “The new Imagine model will be even more beautiful.” That’s it. No benchmark numbers, no architecture details, no launch date. Just a name, a claim, and a video clip. Bold move for a space where…
Three Hours vs. Two Minutes I’ve been building ML systems long enough to have opinions about most things. Distributed training, gradient accumulation bugs, flaky data pipelines. I’ve seen enough failure modes that I stopped being surprised by them. Then I spent three hours staring at a distributed training failure last month and came up completely…
One Person. One Dog. One mRNA Vaccine. I’ve been sitting with this story for a day and I can’t stop thinking about it. Paul Conyngham’s dog Rosie was diagnosed with cancer after her symptoms were missed for roughly 11 months. By the time anyone caught it, the cancer had progressed badly. Paul went through the…
Claude Code Multi-Agent Setup: What Solo Developers Are Actually Unlocking I’ve watched coding assistants get pitched as productivity tools for two years now. Smarter autocomplete. Better suggestions. Faster boilerplate. The framing has been consistent, and honestly, it’s been mostly accurate. Until now. What people are configuring with Claude Code’s multi-agent architecture is something genuinely different….
The Job Is Not the Checklist Jensen Huang said something recently that I keep coming back to. Not because it was surprising, but because of how little softening was in it. “If your job is the task, then you’re very highly going to be disrupted.” Not might be. Very highly going to be. That phrasing…
Physical AI Is About to Eat the Conversation We’ve Been Having About Software Everyone in my world is obsessed with reasoning models, agents, and context windows. Fair enough. The software AI story has been genuinely wild. But I think we’re about to watch the center of gravity shift, and the new video Elon posted this…
Your Dev Environment Is Not a Vault I have watched AI engineers obsess over model security, prompt injection defenses, and output filtering while their local machines sit wide open. The LiteLLM supply chain attack from March 2026 is the clearest possible illustration of where the real risk actually lives, and most of the people I…
