When I struggle to structure my thoughts about what's happening I turn to writing. Today about the recent US Anthropic ban news, what it says about power and dependency, and what it should mean for Europeans and citizens of the world. It's a long one. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/6/1…
- Anthropic suspended Fable and Mythos access for foreign nationals, including its own foreign-national employees.
- Ronacher argues the shift moved from barring hostile governments to using nationality itself as the access boundary.
- Europe's structural dependency on US cloud, platforms, and AI feeds a talent drain Ronacher calls a self-reinforcing death spiral.
Has been a while since I wrote about agentic engineering, so this time around some learnings of maintaining Pi as a junior maintainer to @mariozechner.at lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/5/24/pi...
We've recently made Pi's cache behavior more visible. This site has been debating whether agent harnesses are helping or quietly torching their caches. That seemed like a good excuse to explain how KV caches actually work and how Pi helps (or doesn't). earendil.com/posts/promp…
I had some vibes that Opus 4.8 was performing worse than older ones for some of uses that are off distribution and now I have the receipts. Latest Opus/Sonnet are causing tool invocation failures on Pi's edit tool when older ones did not! I wrote about it. lucumr.pocoo.org/202…
Some late weekend thoughts: What can the bible tell us about vibecoding? lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/7/13/th...
@rntn_onx @zeeg @thdxr The model definitions that pi uses come from a few different sources including https://t.co/UcH25H1xtg and custom rules we update. It’s all a bit of a data source mess sadly.
Recent commentary
One thing I notice more and more is that people think verbal abuse and personal attacks are acceptable, if they are directed at people who don't have a dismissive attitude towards AI and LLMs.
After the Linus post I read a bit more how people judge AI on mastodon and I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe.
