So, uh, personal announcement. I am now suddenly unemployed. I am currently looking for a data science/machine learning/AI job in the SF Bay Area. If you're interested, let me know! In the meantime, I now have *plenty* of time for blogging lol.
Two things can be true simultaneously: a) Modern LLMs can count the amount of letters in a word despite the counterintuition of tokenization b) Google Search Overview's LLM can fail to the amount of letters in a word because it's a quantized LLM There's a nuance that tbh no one care about anymore.
I used GPT 5.6 to create something I've wanted for literally years: a macOS menu bar application to control an Apple TV with all expected features (including Now Playing), written using SwiftUI. It worked *much* better than expected.
If I ever work for Anthropic or OpenAI I'm just going to not post on social media.
It's both funny and logical that OpenRouter is now the place for running Chinese OSS LLMs without jumping through hoops.
AI companies really have got to stop only posting announcements on X. Just syndicate it to your company blog, it won’t hurt SEO dammit.
I'm still upset that with all the new LLMs coming out, no one has release a good OSS text embedding model at a reasonable size. EmbeddingGemma was 10 months ago ffs.
the fact that more people are defending the jqwik secret message to get AI to delete itself than are condemning it is concerning.
I kinda want to see what would happen (both technically and community-wise) if an agentic LLM ported WordPress from PHP to Rust.
The one objectively good thing about the Claude Fable 5 launch is that it implies OpenAI will release GPT 5.6 in a couple days.
