"Sharing a project I've been building: a full end-to-end wildfire prevention pipeline that runs a Vision-Language Model directly on a satellite, using Sentinel-2 imagery.
The interesting design constraint isn't model quality. It's bandwidth. A frontier model on the ground means downlinking massive m..."

"After \~3 weeks of experimentation in OpenAI's Parameter Golf competition, I wrote up why SSMs are structurally disadvantaged relative to transformers in a time- and size-constrained regime (10 min training, 16MB artifact, 25M parameters) on 8xH100s: [

"Reinforcement learning (RL) has become essential to the post-training of large language models (LLMs) for reasoning, agentic capabilities and alignment. Successful RL relies on sufficient exploration of diverse actions by the model during training, which creates a potential failure mode: a model cou..."

"Been building this for a while and finally cleaned it up enough to share.
**voice-agents-from-scratch** is a numbered, chapter-by-chapter repo that walks the full real-time pipeline:
* Microphone capture
* Whisper for STT
* Local GGUF LLM (via llama.cpp)
* Kokoro for TTS
* Speaker output

"Happy to report that llama.cpp MTP support is now in beta, thanks to Aman (and all the others that have pushed the various issues in the meantime). This has the potential to actually get merged soon-ish. Currently contains support for Qwen3.5 MTP, but other models are likely to follow suit.

"Existing research infrastructure is fundamentally document-centric, providing citation links between papers but lacking explicit representations of methodological evolution. In particular, it does not capture the structured relationships that explain how and why research methods emerge, adapt, and b..."

"Multi-turn prompt injection follows a known attack path -- trust-building, pivoting, escalation but text-level defenses miss covert attacks where individual turns appear benign. We show this attack path leaves an activation-level signature in the model's residual stream: each phase shift moves the a..."

"LLM agents are expected to complete end-to-end units of work across software tools, business services, and local workspaces. Yet many agent benchmarks freeze a curated task set at release time and grade mainly the final response, making it difficult to evaluate agents against evolving workflow deman..."

"Agentic AI architectures augment LLMs with external tools, unlocking strong capabilities. However, tool use is not always beneficial; some calls may be redundant or even harmful. Effective tool use, therefore, hinges on a core LLM decision: whether to call or not call a tool, when performing a task...."

"The image is from X, been thinking about it since I saw it.
Vibe coding is real. The 80/20 part is genuinely faster now, and PoCs that took a week take an afternoon.
But I keep watching people try to ship vibe-coded tools as real products. Asset management systems. GRC modules. Internal RAG. The..."

"Key-Value (KV) cache has become a de facto component of modern Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) for inference. While it enhances decoding efficiency in Large Language Models (LLMs), its direct adoption in LVLMs introduces substantial GPU memory overhead due to the large number of vision tokens p..."

However, a growing body of evidence suggests that many concepts are instead organized along..."

"A 1.7B model can actually turn out some code, so I'm running the training for a 9B model, then will re-run HumanEval (a full one this time). I've shown most of my homework in the article, but will be posting to github after I clean things up.
