    1. Benchmarked GLM-5.1 / Qwen3-Embedding vs Claude Sonnet 4.5 / OpenAI on the same workloads — cost + latency numbers
    2. Long-running, high-agency LLM "instances"
    3. Should agent governance live inside the application code or the infrastructure layer?

    1. Gemini 3.6 Flash released - underperforms all SOTA models
    2. Chinese LLM API pricing competition is getting interesting
    3. One-shot HTML benchmarks should probably show cost next to quality

    1. I managed to run GLM-5.2 (744B MoE) on a humble 25 GB RAM laptop — pure C, experts streamed from disk
    2. Let Claude Code search your repo, not crawl it
    3. We built a fully model agnostic alternative to Claude Managed Agents

    1. I studied how Cognee, Graphiti, and Neo4j build agent memory. They share the same 10 pieces.
    2. I open-sourced "AWS for AI." One docker compose for governed, compliant, auditable AI for your whole org. Gateway, guardrails, policies, observability, audit, etc - all wired together, built on open source.
    3. I get Free GPU Provideder !!

    1. Built an open-source 3D visualizer for transformer architectures and real-time LLM inference (looking for contributors)
    2. I don't want to have multiple OpenCode Go accounts. What service should I use instead for more usage?
    3. Where do you get ground truth when your engineers don't know the domain?

    1. I stopped building a database for my AI agents and just used git. Turns out git already solved most of the hard problems.
    2. Kimi K3 is now the #1 open weight model and ~#3 model overall
    3. I track LLM prices every 3 hours. GLM-5.2 quietly went from ~$0.57/$1.80 to $0.90/$3.08 per 1M this week, with no announcement.
