How fast is 10 tokens per second really?
How fast is 10 tokens per second really? Neat little HTML app by Mike Veerman (source code here) which simulates LLM token output speeds from 5/second to 800/second. Useful if you see a model advertised as "30 tokens/second" and want to get a feel for what that actually looks like. Via Hacker News Tags: ai, generative-ai, llms

Google I/O, Gemini Spark, Antigravity
It's hard to find much to write about Google I/O this year because I have a policy of not writing about anything that I can't try out myself, and a lot of the big announcements are "coming soon". I actually prefer to write about things that are in general availability, because I've had instances in the past where the previews didn't match what was released to the general public later on. Aside from Gemini 3.5 Flash the most interesting announcement looks to be Google's upcoming OpenClaw…

The Agent Stack Bet
The Agent Stack Bet
The following article originally appeared on the Elevate newsletter and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. Peek under the hood of most “production agents” shipping today and you won’t find intelligence. You’ll find custom plumbing, fragile session logic, shared service accounts, and a security model held together by hope. This can be so […]

When an Agent Deletes the Production Database
When an Agent Deletes the Production Database
Another day, another example of an AI Agent “running rogue” and doing something the human operator didn’t want it to do. The tl;dr is that Jeremy (Jer) Crane, founder of PocketOS, was using Claude to perform some routine DB maintenance. Claude then proceeded to delete the production database and all backups hosted at their cloud […]
