Latent SpaceGPU capacity is a shape problem, not a supply problem
GPU capacity is sold in rigid three-year blocks, but AI demand is bursty. Modal's founder explains the mismatch and what it means for compute strategy.
Latent SpaceAI engineers are the whole team now, a leadership risk
AI engineers are told they are the team. A Moshi founder argues recommendation design, not model quality, decides whether AI tools get used.
No Priors: AI, Machine Learning, Tech, & StartupsOpen-Weight Agents Are Giving Every Attacker Nation-State Reach
Open-weight models are collapsing the adversary pyramid. CrowdStrike's CEO wants defenders to fight AI with AI, but the numbers need scrutiny.
AI EngineerCheap models beat frontier models at writing like a human
Tone-Bench tests whether AI models can write like one specific human. Its most practical lesson: cheaper models with long prompts may beat frontier models on…
IBM TechnologyAI finds the bugs; the patching gap still decides the damage.
Hacked supermarket fridges, AI ransomware and Bank of America's 1,000-contractor patch team share one problem: nobody owns the update loop.
AI EngineerWhy a faster model can make your users wait 8x longer
MiniMax's M3.1 flash is faster per token, but doubling concurrency lifted p95 wait from 1.5s to 11.3s. Evaluate the whole job, not the model.
AI EngineerStop Buying GPU Hours: The Operator Decides Your Real AI Cost
GPU-hour pricing hides the variable that determines your AI cost: operator quality. Same B200, up to 50% output spread. A useful framework, but verify.
David OndrejLocal AI crosses a threshold: what running 180B models on a $7K
A 180B model on a $7K laptop generates games offline. The demo is real. The question for engineering leaders: is local AI production-ready yet, or still a demo?
AI EngineerMonzo's Slack Agent Writes 10% of PRs. The Platform Did That.
Monzo's Slack agent authors 10% of merge PRs. The real story is the platform, MCP gateway, and sandboxing that made it safe.
Cole MedinStop tweaking prompts: engineer the harness around your production agents
Production agents need harness engineering: versioned markdown rules, trace-based fixes, and human approval. The demo is a vendor pitch, the workflow is real.
