The Overlooked Reason Your RAG Pipeline Keeps Returning Garbage
I spend a lot of time in the AI space -- reading papers, building things, talking to engineers who are actually shipping. And there is a gap between…
The Exact Stack I Use to Build Production AI Agents (No Fluff)
I spend a lot of time in the AI space -- reading papers, building things, talking to engineers who are actually shipping. And there is a gap between…
95% recall, 80% answers: what LongMemEval retrieval scores don't tell you
Memory layers for AI agents love to quote LongMemEval. You will see 94%, 95%, 96%. Those numbers are real, but they usually measure retrieval: was o…
Exponential backoff with jitter: 64 of 100 LLM calls still failed
Originally published at tensorust.com . TL;DR: I fired 100 LLM calls at once into a rate limiter that refills 10 requests a second, using the defaul…
Nobody will vouch for the answer
Microsoft says so in the overview page for its Agent Framework, the product meant to help you build on its models: "You are responsible for carefull…
Validate bounding boxes from a general vision model
A general model can take an image plus a question and return segmentation, bounding boxes, and object detection, work that used to require its own t…
I built the world's fastest AI gateway in Rust
TL;DR I built Antirion , an open-source (Apache-2.0) AI gateway written in Rust: one binary between your apps and LLM providers, with routing, fallb…
Reflection's Beam is open: 23B active, but you still have to fit 501B
Reflection released the weights for Beam on October 16, 2026. It is the lab's first open-weight model: a sparse mixture-of-experts (MoE) model with…
Version the wire schema, normalize at the boundary, and keep failures visible
Problem statement When you change a function-calling or Structured Outputs schema after users have active conversations, older turns and replayed to…
Write your agent as functions first, add a framework later
Plenty of agent tutorials open with a framework import. I'd start with ordinary functions that call a model, return structured data, and invoke tool…
Pick the LLM eval metric before you build the dashboard
You can ship a polished eval dashboard and still learn nothing about whether the product works. A common way to get there is picking a number becaus…
Put Claude Code and Codex Inside WeChat, Lark and DingTalk with LangBot Runner Plugins
Scenario A team already lives in Claude Code and Codex — repos, shell, MCP servers on their own machines. Colleagues should reach that same power fr…
Your MCP Server Returns the Source. Does the Answer Still Cite It?
A benchmark for what happens to citations after a retrieval server hands its results to an AI agent it doesn't control. Part 1 of 6 in the series Ci…
How to run a local AI model that actually works on old hardware
How to run a local AI model that actually works on old hardware I have been running language models locally on a 2012 laptop with 4 cores, 8 GB of R…
How LLMs are actually built — and why most "how it works" threads stop too early
Most "how LLMs work" explainers end at transformers and attention. The parts that decide whether a model is actually good — the data pipeline, the p…
How to Install ArcLM, Tokenize Text, and Run a Tiny Language Model
How to Install ArcLM, Tokenize Text, and Run a Tiny Language Model Want to experiment with language models in Python without starting by downloading…
Durable execution keeps the state. It doesn't keep the rules.
Originally published at zarel.ai . The strongest infrastructure story in agents right now is durable execution: an agent can run for hours or days,…
When to pay for a reasoning model on a request
A reasoning model spends extra tokens before it answers. Send every request there and you pay latency plus a larger bill for lookups a standard mode…
Why We Kept Ternary Bonsai 2 27B After Testing the Faster 9B
October 16, 2026 Our production classifier runs on a single RTX 2080 Ti with 11 GB of VRAM. It is often busy enough that requests spill over to a ho…
AtmoRouter: A Cheaper OpenRouter Alternative (OpenAI-Compatible, Pay-Per-Token)
OpenRouter made a great idea mainstream: one API, many models. Subscription coding tools like Command Code bundle model credits into monthly plans.…
Can decision models like Jev and Laya route a coding agent?
We plugged Laya, a 421M-parameter decision model, into our coding agents as a model router. The plumbing worked in about 112 ms. Deciding when a big…
Reflection AI Beam: Why 501B Parameters That Cost Like 23B Matter More Than the Leaderboard
Reflection AI's Beam, announced October 5, 2026, is a 501-billion-parameter open-weight model that activates only 23 billion parameters per task. Th…
We ran the same LLM evaluation twice. Seven of eleven scores changed.
If you ship any automated score — evals, rankings, quality gates — this is the number you should know about your own pipeline. We measured ours and…
Semantic Caching Explained: When It Saves Money and When It Fails
TL;DR Semantic caching evaluates the mathematical similarity of prompt embeddings against stored responses to bypass redundant upstream model calls.…
The Hidden Backdoor Risk in "Uncensored" AI Models
Overview Plenty of people spin up public models from Hugging Face on a GPU cloud or their own GPU server without a second thought. "Uncensored" mode…
Audit an AI receptionist in 30 minutes: the 6-part checklist I run on every deployment
Somebody in your company set up an AI receptionist. It's answering calls, it sounds confident, and nobody has checked it since day one. That's the m…
What changes in your working day when your agent stops forgetting
You open a session with your agent the way you open a hundred others. Before any real work: the stack, the conventions, the decision from last Tuesd…
