MLflow has added an MCP server in the most recent release, MLflow 3.4.0. You can e.g. use natural language to find and diagnose failing agent traces w Clauded Desktop. This is a huge step toward making MLflow a tool usable by agents.
Blog on setting this up coming soon.

I find that most of the (many, many) resources on MCP published in the past weeks don't provide small, self-contained examples build on. I tried to do that here. Here's a post on making an MCP server with one tool and using it with Claude desktop.

Registers are a great way for Emacs beginners to upgrade their experience! My latest blog post is a simple guide to using registers for navigation, and learning about some Emacs concepts (point, mark, registers) in the process.

An easy but useful tool for getting started with gptel tool calling in emacs.
`intern` is very useful when defining these tools—it converts a string to the symbol with the same name as the string, creating it if it doesn't exist. My first iteration failed because it was passing a string directly.

I wanted to load my gptel directives from an org file instead of making them part of my config. This approach worked pretty well! Right now the org file is just top-level headings as the directive name, with the text under the heading as the system prompt.

From China Miéville's introduction to Thomas More's Utopia.
Really wish there were more Utopian thinking in our contemporary politics—why don't we ever ask what the world would look like if a given policy agenda were taken to its conclusion, or pursued for decades instead of months?

"...we rejoice in the mere suspicion of transcendence"
I've found myself returning to this book a lot over the last few months. I don't completely follow or agree with all parts of the argument but I love the language, style, and many well-used excerpts and references.

Always interesting to hear why Claude thought it had a hard time with a task (even if doesn't meaningfully reflect the actual processes on which it is conducting a post-mortem).

gptel (emacs package) uses text properties to identify LLM response text. This is my first time learning about text properties! They belong to individual characters and are preserved when text is killed/yanked.

Using MLflow tracing to explore the new Gemini thinking model. The markdown rendering of inputs/outputs makes it really easy to browse through the model's reasoning steps.
