Large language model (LLM) news — GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral and the latest research on training, fine-tuning, RLHF, and deployment of LLMs.
A developer at a voice agent company traced a 1.4-second dead-air incident on a customer call, discovering that the latency was invisible in standard APM traces. The gap occurred between turn-detection and ASR-start, an …
A developer argues that building custom API wrappers for ML models is a waste of time, advocating instead for using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI agents directly to deployed models. They describe how con…
Anthropic accused operators linked to Alibaba's Qwen AI lab of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from its Claude AI model, generating over 28.8 million exchanges between April and June 2026.…
Google added a 'Select from screen' feature to Gemini in Chrome, allowing users to draw boxes around text or images in the active tab and attach them to prompts, arriving with Chrome 149. Separately, Gemini 3.5 Flash now…
A new survey from arXiv introduces 'code as agent harness,' a framework positioning code as the operational substrate for AI agent reasoning, action, and environment modeling. The paper organizes agent infrastructure int…
A developer measured the token cost of context provisioning for AI coding agents across 936 runs on the Apache Superset repository, comparing grep, graph-based, and LSP-based approaches. The results show that the optimal…
Anthropic's Claude Code engineering lead Thariq Shihipar argues that HTML is increasingly better than Markdown for keeping humans engaged in agentic workflows, citing richer visualizations and interactivity that reduce c…
AI CEO and developer of a novel transformer architecture warns that current AI systems strip authorship from creators, leading to cognitive collapse, algorithmic isolation, and increased harm to vulnerable populations, i…
A developer shared a toolkit of AI-powered tools for software development, including Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, Garry Tan's gstack skill pack, Every's compound engineering plugin, Melty Labs' Conductor for …
A Washington Post analysis found that major AI chatbots, including OpenAI's GPT-5.5, Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8, Google's Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Elon Musk's Grok 4.3, exhibit a left-leaning political bias, with ChatGPT giv…
The essay argues that despite widespread knowledge of AI risks, people continue with daily routines, mirroring the denial in Nevil Shute's 'On the Beach' where characters ignore an approaching nuclear fallout. The author…
Anthropic accused Alibaba's Qwen AI lab of conducting the largest distillation attack on its Claude model, using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to make 29 million exchanges between April 22 and June 5, 2026. The attac…
A federal judge ruled that prosecutors can compel OpenAI to turn over ChatGPT records of former crypto CEO Richard Kim, who is accused of diverting $3.8 million in investor funds. The ruling establishes that AI chat logs…
OpenAI and Broadcom announced a new chip called Jalapeño, designed specifically for large language model inference in data centers. The ASIC was developed from scratch based on insights from OpenAI researchers and promis…
A 2026 survey of 906 software engineers reveals that senior developers now average 2.3 AI coding tools, with the most common pairing being Cursor and Claude Code. Cursor serves as an IDE for inline editing, while Claude …
Researchers at an undisclosed institution analyzed Gemma-2-2b's internal circuits and found that the LLM detects vulnerable code by relying on safety detectors that recognize safe coding patterns, rather than directly id…
Cli-Modelarium 0.1.4 adds support for Alibaba's Qwen models (via DashScope) and Z.AI's GLM models, bringing the total to 10 cloud LLM providers. The command-line tool enables side-by-side comparison of models with statis…
A developer reports that AI coding costs can be slashed by 70% through task-level model routing instead of using a single frontier model for all tasks. After profiling usage, the developer found that 60% of prompts to ex…
A developer recounts how their 75-year-old father used AI tools to create a family website, effectively replacing the developer's role. The father utilized ChatGPT for coding and DALL-E for images, completing the project…
Baseten has built the world's fastest API for GLM-5.2, achieving over 280 tokens per second as measured by Artificial Analysis. The performance is driven by optimizations including an updated inference engine, NVFP4 quan…
