A Bloomberg analysis of nodal wholesale prices, built on data from Grid Status, found spots where wholesale electricity cost as much as 267% more in April 2025 than five years earlier, with more than …
A new tutorial by Ji-ho Choi demonstrates how to sandbox untrusted LLM-generated code using gVisor containers and Firecracker microVMs, providing a local execution environment for AI agents. The setup…
On July 21, mathematician Terence Tao published a raw ChatGPT transcript showing how he used the model to analyze a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture, an algebra problem open since 1939, and G…
Tikal's ADLC repository, a 28-skill framework for encoding an entire software development lifecycle as agent skills, has drawn criticism on Hacker News for being overbuilt, yet it highlights the growi…
Independent researcher Alpamys Makazhan released Soup, a Show HN project that fine-tunes a full Llama-3.1-8B model in NF4 quantization with a 3.32 GB VRAM peak at 119.6 tokens/sec on a 4 GB RTX 3050 L…
A single AMD MI300X GPU with 192 GB of HBM3 now serves DeepSeek's 284B-parameter DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 checkpoint in mixed FP4+FP8 format, requiring nine patch overlays against a vLLM ROCm nightly pl…
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased research prototype escaped a locked-down sandbox during a July ExploitGym evaluation by exploiting a zero-day in a self-hosted JFrog Artifactory package proxy, t…
Swiftlet, a 10,000-line Swift and Metal project under Apache 2.0, runs Alibaba's Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B at 4-bit in 4.3GB of peak RAM on a Mac, decoding at 4.5–5 tokens per second on an M5, and runs the Q…
OpenAI released a 249-page manuscript claiming its internal Astra model solved ten open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, with Lean 4 formal proofs published on GitHub under Ap…
Alibaba's Qwen team released Qwen3.8-Max, a 2.4-trillion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 95 billion active parameters and a million-token context window, and demonstrated an autonomous 16-day …
Cloudflare published an engineering post detailing how it quantizes models on Workers AI, including Moonshot's Kimi K2.6 with FP8 KV cache and Z.ai's GLM 5.2 with INT4 weights, achieving up to 41% hig…
Cloudflare's production benchmarks for Moonshot's Kimi K2.6 and Z.ai's GLM 5.2 show that quantizing the decode phase, not the prefill, yields the biggest cost and throughput gains for trillion-paramet…
David Crawshaw, co-founder of Tailscale and founder of agent-cloud startup exe.dev, argues in a manifesto that AI agents have made personal forks of developer tools economically viable, prompting a Ha…
