When AI Breaks the Systems Meant to Hear Us
When AI Breaks the Systems Meant to Hear Us
On February 10, 2026, Scott Shambaugh—a volunteer maintainer for Matplotlib, one of the world’s most popular open source software libraries—rejected a proposed code change. Why? Because an AI agent wrote it. Standard policy. What happened next wasn’t standard, though. The AI agent autonomously researched Shambaugh’s code contribution history and published a highly personalized hit piece […]

Quoting Georgi Gerganov
Quoting Georgi Gerganov
Note that the main issues that people currently unknowingly face with local models mostly revolve around the harness and some intricacies around model chat templates and prompt construction. Sometimes there are even pure inference bugs. From typing the task in the client to the actual result, there is a long chain of components that atm are not only fragile - are also developed by different parties. So it's difficult to consolidate the entire stack and you have to keep in mind that what you are…

“Conviction Collapse” and the End of Software as We Know It
In “An Ordinary Evening in New Haven,” the poet Wallace Stevens wrote, “It is not in the premise that reality is a solid.” That line came to mind during a fascinating conversation with Harper Reed, which amounted to something like “It is no longer in the premise that software is a product.” Harper is one […]

Mr. Chatterbox is a (weak) Victorian-era ethically trained model you can run on your own computer
Trip Venturella released Mr. Chatterbox, a language model trained entirely on out-of-copyright text from the British Library. Here's how he describes it in the model card: Mr. Chatterbox is a language model trained entirely from scratch on a corpus of over 28,000 Victorian-era British texts published between 1837 and 1899, drawn from a dataset made available by the British Library. The model has absolutely no training inputs from after 1899 — the vocabulary and ideas are formed exclusively from…

Pretext
Pretext
Pretext Exciting new browser library from Cheng Lou, previously a React core developer and the original creator of the react-motion animation library. Pretext solves the problem of calculating the height of a paragraph of line-wrapped text without touching the DOM. The usual way of doing this is to render the text and measure its dimensions, but this is extremely expensive. Pretext uses an array of clever tricks to make this much, much faster, which enables all sorts of new text rendering…
