How nb2lite-skill-agy packages Google's gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image as an Antigravity skill + MCP server — with multi-turn stateful edits, a simple install guide, and a dogfooded cover image.
In March, the CEO of a research lab with zero products closed a $1.03 billion seed round — the...
Hetzner is experimenting with LLM inference. That is not a sentence I expected to write, but I think...
For quite a while now, I've had the feeling that AI agents are surrounded by this mystical aura....
Most production AI tasks are not LLM tasks. I replaced a 7B model with a tiny 2.4 MB Go classifier: rules first, small model, LLM last.
Best-of-K eval selection bias: pick the highest-scoring config from K candidates on one eval set and...
Those who have been following me for a while will know that teaching and mentoring are a Big Deal™️...
Every delayed flight in America is documented in a public federal database. It arrives as a zip full of CSVs, so almost nobody opens it. Here is what happened when I did.
This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Smash Stories powered by Sentry. The bug...
I Built a Job-Scraping Bot to Escape Cloud Consulting (And It's Open Source) From manually...
The rule of three for evals says zero failures in N runs is a count, not a rate. With 0 failures in N...

Here is the ritual. You ship a prompt change, rerun the eval suite, and open the dashboard. Thirty...
Every data quality framework eventually forces you into a choice. Great Expectations gives you a rich...
The first time I bolted AI onto a data warehouse, the plan looked reasonable on a
This is the guide I wish someone had handed me before started learning linux. Enter...
What it took to deploy, why the QAT checkpoints refuse to load, and what one flex-start v6e chip is actually worth — measured live.
Measured guide to the openFDA adverse event API: beat the 25,000 skip cap with search_after, fix silent overcounts, decode code fields, flatten FAERS and MAUDE.
Two prompts on one eval set are paired data. The two-proportion SE said 'collect more'; McNemar said it was already decided.
How It Started A few months ago, I was browsing remote FHIR engineer roles in Australia....
Every "AI memory agent" I looked at before starting this does the same trick: embed every message,...
In the last entry I got Gemma-4's 128-expert MoE running on an inf2.24xlarge and signed off with...
Imagine your AI assistant just produced 200 lines of code. Legally, you may not own a single line of...
Running an agent on your own hardware fixes data sovereignty and nothing else. Prompt injection, silent provenance failures, and privilege escalation all survive the move to local. Here's where local agents are genuinely safe to deploy in 2026, and where 'local' is just a comforting word.
I spent a few days auditing a live FX system I built, over 16 years of history. The result was negative in a way I did not expect, and the diagnostic
Introduction At recent technology conferences, one topic has caught my attention: every...
I trained a model that scored 4 percentage points better than the one I ship. It's gone. I deleted it...
Third entry in the DEV x Sentry Bug Smash. Entry 1 was a crash with a confusing message. Entry 2 was...
Fit calculators check memory. Leaderboards check general skill. Neither checks your task. Measured results for local quants on two machines, reproducible from raw outputs.

There is an apparent contradiction at the heart of using AI agents for data work, and resolving it...
Any team running an agentic pipeline on a periodically-reloaded dataset caches the output of inputs...
In the previous article I wrote: "Mechanizability-scanner. Building this next." And: "Cross-model...
Porting Gemma-4 31B (dense) to AWS Inferentia2: the tensor-parallel recipe that worked at 12B collapses at 31B, NxD ModelBuilder saves it — and then a passing validation lies to your face.
The MoE was the hard one: a dual-path FFN, a sparse expert loop that won't trace, and a bug where the device output was empty while the CPU reference was perfect and every unit test passed.
This article is my submission for the Agents of SigNoz Hackathon: Blog Track, where participants...

How a narrated demo for an MCP image server caught an API-contract drift that 10 passing unit tests never could — root cause, fix, and lessons about mocked tests.
A beginner-friendly tour of the Model Context Protocol: one Python server that generates images with Gemini, called by Claude Code, a Google ADK agent, and a Rust CLI.
For a side project I needed something that turned out to be weirdly hard to find: a free, clean list...
