Why MCP caught on as the standard for AI tool use How vision and text get combined in one model Where narrow AI already beats human experts Generating images with diffusion versus autoregressive models State space models as an alternative to attention How autonomous are today's agents really? Llama versus Mistral versus Qwen Llama and Mistral weights are open and the license still has limits Does generative AI learn from creative work or just imitate its surface? Constitutional AI approaches compared LLM-as-judge: how much can you trust it? Mixture of experts models and what they change Which parts of knowledge work is generative AI actually good at? Intentionality: why syntax alone is supposed to be insufficient for semantics Do you really need multiple agents instead of one? AI red teamers breaking their own product before a user finds the hole Self-improving agents: hype versus reality Too many tools makes an agent worse Will AI take my job? What the evidence says so far LangChain vs LlamaIndex for document-heavy question answering How do you know an AI agent is actually working? Image annotation work and the ceiling it hits after two years Choosing between a general chatbot and a purpose-built AI app for research AI translation in customer chats reads fluent and gets the tone wrong I let an AI assistant answer my email for a week and here is what happened How the transformer attention mechanism works in plain language Inference servers: vLLM vs TGI vs a hand-rolled FastAPI wrapper Tokenization and why models miscount letters What counts as open source AI when the training data stays secret A brief history of chatbots from ELIZA to GPT Hallucination is baked into next-token prediction Negative instructions and why models ignore them
