I’ve made about a dozen different kinds of coffee drinks with the Ninja AutoBarista, and I have absolutely no idea what sort of grind size, tamping pressure, water temperature, or extraction timing is necessary to pull espresso shots for any of those drinks. The AutoBarista takes care of these considerations for you, making it possible…
Google has open-sourced the Elephant-Goldfish Model (EGM) plugin, a design-and-review layer for AI coding agents. The Elephant-Goldfish Model plugin makes an agent write a specification before it writes code. Fresh subagents with no conversation history then attack that spec. Google says thousands of its engineers use it. It is quite…
“We put a lot of effort into trying to tell you when not to do something if it’s no longer in the spirit of the recipe,” says Camilla Velasquez, the general manager of NYT Cooking. For its recommendations, the LLM looks at the recipe itself, the Times’ ingredient substitution guide, user comments, and then what…
It’s 2016, and you’re wandering around the neighborhood at dusk. On the prowl, you’re swiping on a smartphone to catch that elusive Snorlax and grow your collection in Pokémon Go. You, alongside hundreds of millions of other players, are enjoying a mixed-reality game built around lovable characters. What you don’t realize is that these scans…
Open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models share one idea but disagree on almost every routing detail. Expert counts range from 8 to 384. Top-k ranges from 1 to 8. Some models keep an always-on shared expert; others drop it. TL;DR Size: 10 models, from Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (35B total, 3B active) to DeepSeek-V4-Pro (1.6T…
Every Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model repeats one decision for every token: which experts should process it. That decision belongs to the router. MoE routing strategies shape quality, load balance and serving cost in every major open model. This guide explains the 7 routing strategies used in production, and the models that use each one. TL;DR Size:…
Nous Research has released Arete-27B, a supervised fine-tune of Alibaba’s Qwen3.8-27B. Arete-27B is a 27B open-weight model that strips Chinese state framing from Qwen’s answers. On Nous’s own 803-prompt eval, answers containing propaganda fell from 22% to 0.9%. Developers get Qwen-class agentic skill without state-aligned answers. The weights, eval and training data are all public….
Democrats’ historic victory in this week’s midterm elections could also have a dramatic effect on the tech industry. In dozens of local ballot measures, voters rejected data centers. And even when they weren’t voting on the issue directly, they were electing politicians — like Texas’ new governor-elect Gina Hinojosa — who campaigned on the promise…
A memo circulated earlier this year claimed that technology executive Alice Huang was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to spy on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, according to multiple media reports. The New York Times, which had previously said Nvidia’s chief executive had been the target of Chinese intelligence, was the first to report…
In this tutorial, we work with Dory 1.0 4B, a small reasoning model from NVIDIA’s Nemotron Labs whose middle layers form a shared block that can be applied once, twice, three, or four times for every token. Each extra pass, or loop, spends more computation per token without adding a single parameter, so one checkpoint…
