I'm already learning new things from GPT5 and I haven't even used it yet. For example i never realised until now that 69.1 is almost the same as 30.8

It's interesting to consider what happening here. Clearly they were on a time crunch. So either they used GPT 5 to do it, and it messed up this badly. Or they trust GPT 5 so little internally that they did it manually. Both are not good looks…

Nice, short post illustrating how simple text (discrete) diffusion can be. Diffusion (i.e. parallel, iterated denoising, top) is the pervasive generative paradigm in image/video, but autoregression (i.e. go left to right bottom) is the dominant paradigm in text. For audio I've

Anthropic just posted another banger guide. This one is on building more efficient agents to handle more tools and efficient token usage. This is a must-read for AI devs! (bookmark it) It helps with three major issues in AI agent tool calling: token costs, latency, and tool
