I'm a big fan of Nemotron models

Mostly because the API is free 😂

AI researchers often spend way too much time crafting diagrams and plots instead of focusing on the ideas. To rescue them from this burden, they built an Agentic Framework to auto-generate NeurIPS-quality paper illustrations!

BREAKING:

TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record."

"Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

A sentiment I very much share. I hope not to get disappointed by @anthropic.com

Llama a la Coalición de Derechos de los Inmigrantes de Portland (1-888-622-1510) si ves a ICE en su vecindario, y llama a mi oficina (503-231-2300) si un ser querido ha sido detenido.

Ahora más que nunca, debemos proteger a nuestros vecinos. Alza la voz.

2026 is the Year of Self-hosting CLI agents like Claude Code make self-hosting dramatically easier and actually fun. This is the first time I would recommend it to normal software-literate people.

CLI agents like Claude Code make self-hosting on a cheapo home server dramatically easier and actually fun.

Please welcome Google's Open Source efforts to Blue Sky at @opensource.google!

someone saying, "You cannot afford to run an open source model on your own hardware" in response to me saying I advocate for open source AI

The post they are replying to was written on an MacBook Pro I upgraded to 64 GB of RAM specifically to be able to run 70B models

You can run Qwen3-Coder-30B on 32GB or RAM, and it's surprisingly capable at most coding tasks, even

Introducing Claude Establishing the model’s personality Model safety More points on style Be cognizant of red flags Is the knowledge cutoff date January or March? election_info Don’t be a sycophant! Differences between Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 The missing prompts for tools Thinking blocks Search instructions Seriously, don’t regurgitate copyrighted content More on search, and research queries Artifacts: the missing manual Styles This is all really great documentation

I put together an annotated version of the new Claude 4 system prompt, covering both the prompt Anthropic published and the missing, leaked sections that describe its various tools

It's basically the secret missing manual for Claude 4, it's fascinating!

Was your talk recorded?

Wait, we get pins for 5 year anniversaries?

Big congrats to your anniversary!

Today is a perfect math lesson: If you drop 10% and raise it by 10% again, you won't end up at the same value!

$100 * 90% = $90
$90 * 110% = $99

You see, $99 isn't $100.

Plain and simple. Don't get carried away by big gains!

I needed to hear this. Maybe you do too.
