AI EngineerThe AI hardware boom makes inference software the real lock-in
Modular's Mojo/MAX stack claims big speedups over vLLM and TensorRT. The tradeoff is trading your entire inference ecosystem for one vendor.
AI EngineerYour AI Governance Policy Is Useless. Here's What Works.
AI agents will ignore your written policies. Live demo shows prompt-based controls fail; gateway enforcement blocks data exfiltration, cost spikes, and…
Theo - t3․ggWhen Inference Gets Cheaper Than the VM It Runs On
TypeScript compiler rewritten in Rust by AI runs 2x faster than Microsoft's Go version, but the real prize is enabling agent dev loops in V8 isolates at…
AI EngineerAI makes output cheap; review discipline decides whether you ship slop.
AI makes output free; review becomes the real cost. Martinez argues teams ship plausible slop because incentives reward generation, not ownership.
Theo - t3․ggHaiku 5.5 Finally Fills Anthropic's Small Model Gap — With a Trap
Anthropic finally has a small model worth using. Haiku 5.5 is cheap and fast but hides a pricing trap above 100K tokens. The real value is as a sub-agent for…
NeuralNineOpenAI's Decisions API: More expensive, slightly faster with images
OpenAI launches a Decisions API for fast classification. At 2.5x the cost of Jev with image support, it's a niche option for teams already in OpenAI's walled…
AI EngineerAI attacks move in minutes, so yearly pentests are no longer enough
Annual pentests cannot match AI-speed attacks. Snyk pitches continuous AI pentesting on every pull request. Ask the four hard questions.
OpenAIThe Real AI Cost Lever Is Cost Per Task, Not Token Price
Stop comparing token prices. OpenAI shows cost per completed task is the metric, with caching, tool calling, and batch APIs as levers. Savings require evals.
Theo - t3․ggOpenAI's Codex plan lost 10x value. Claude is the better bet now.
OpenAI slashed Codex plan value by 10x. Claude's $200 plan now delivers better practical output for coding teams. The real insight: cheaper models like…
AI EngineerAgent Sandboxes Are the Real Product in Google's New API
Google DeepMind's managed agent sandbox turns infrastructure into an API call. The demo is slick; the cost, isolation, and control questions are unanswered.
