Keep Prices Out of the Model: A Rate-Freshness Guard for Jewellery WhatsApp Assistants
A WhatsApp assistant for an Indian jewellery store will be asked about prices constantly. Today's rate, making charges, the cost of a design in a gi…

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…
Switching AI coding tools? Keep the conversation with a local handoff
Hi! Switching between AI coding tools is useful until you have to explain the same task all over again. The next agent needs more than the original…
You Cannot Unit Test a Summary. You Can Still Test It.
Every developer I know has the same reflex when a feature is done: write a test that feeds it an input and asserts the output. That reflex is correc…
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…
Five concepts to learn before you build with LLMs
If you can ship ordinary software, you can start building with large language models. I would not start in the API console. I would learn five ideas…
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…
Context-Mode: Output Sandboxing for AI Agent Token Efficiency
AI agents are powerful, but their verbose tool outputs often bloat context windows, driving up API costs and hindering performance. Every time an ag…
Our agentic coding benchmark results are now an open dataset on Hugging Face
I've put our benchmark numbers on Hugging Face, as an open dataset with a small leaderboard Space on top, so anyone can pull the rows and argue with…
Building GoRoute: An Ultra-Lightweight (<15MB RAM) LLM Gateway in Go
Most developers using terminal coding agents like Claude Code , OpenCode , Codex , or Cursor end up running an LLM router in the background to handl…
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…

Humans vs LLMs: What the VibeCodeArena Leaderboard Taught Me About AI Coding
I worked on VibeCodeArena as a consultant with HackerEarth , and while I was busy fixing AI-built apps, I got curious about the leaderboard. This po…
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…
Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 in Python: Two SDKs, Prompt Caching and Haiku's 100K Pricing Cliff
Short answer: call claude-haiku-5-5 for classification, extraction, routing and summaries, and claude-sonnet-5-5 for multi-step coding and long tool…
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…
Let an agent sign in for you without showing the model your password
You are halfway through a task with an agent. It has found the settings page and filled in most of the form, and then it stops: "To continue, please…
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…
Your retry logic has never seen a real 429. Here is how to test it with a local fault-injecting mock
Most LLM client code has a retry branch that has never actually run. The provider returns 200 in every test, so the 429 , 500 and timeout paths sit…
Checking what an LLM writes costs more than the writing
Getting a model to write a page is the easy part. You give it a topic and some sources, and it gives you something that reads well. If that were the…
