With the Claude Sonnet 4.5 release there are interesting new context management and memory features in the API —

Anyone know if these are used in Claude-Code?

Used Claude Code to build a simple tool tmux-cli that lets CC puppet your terminal -- i.e. interact with CLIs expecting user input -- useful to let CC autonomously run debuggers, test CLI/UI scripts, spawn other Claudes (fully visible unlike black-box sub-agents) github.com/pchalasani/c...

Thanks to a Kagi subscription I haven’t seen a sponsored search ad in a really long time — so long I can’t even remember what those look like 🤣 It’s 2025 and I’m shocked how many still put up with ad surveillance. It’s high time to neuter the business models of Mega-Corps founded on this.

"... the main reason most people are still using Google is they're just not aware of the alternatives."

How do we make more people aware of Kagi?

Kagi's commitment to an ad-free experience extends to our own marketing. We rely purely on word-of-mouth support.

Will you help us spread the word? 🙏
My wife just complained that her Google image search results are completely overrun by gen AI.

I compared my #kagi results for the same query and it was a completely different story. And that was even before turning on the AI filter.

uv is great for python packaging. One of several benefits: You can publish your lib to PyPi so people can run specific scripts from anywhere with zero installs/venv/repo-cloning using

uvx --from lib script

You just need to add a [project.scripts] section with paths
to the scripts

QwQ-32B-Preview from Qwen is the best "o1-like" LLM today. You can run it remotely via glhf.chat super-fast endpoint.

Langroid lets you easily use it -- it gets the "Sally question" right, after a LOT of thinking 🤔 (images below)

llama3.3-70b is a seriously impressive model. Langroid lets you easily try it via groq's insanely fast endpoint - just set the model name to "groq/llama-3.3-70b-specdec"

✍️ "Hard truths about AI-assisted coding" tips & tricks in my latest article: bit.ly/ai-assisted

While AI-Assisted coding can get you 70% of the way there (great for prototypes or MVPs), the final 30% requires significant human intervention for quality and maintainability.

Tomorrow morning at the Simons Institute : Sparks versus embers, can LLMs solve major open mathematical conjectures?

(FWIW I agree with everything in the Embers paper, so I guess the debate will be about the conclusions to draw from current evidence!)

This is a fun and highly informative weekly show to watch/hear, to catch up on LLM-related developments. Run by @altryne.bsky.social with commentary by @wolfram.ravenwolf.ai @yampeleg.bsky.social @nisten.bsky.social
🔥 This week's episode was indeed special, we chatted about the first open source intelligence model with @JustinLin610 from the @Alibaba_Qwen team, covered the H runner from @hcompany_ai , Olmo from @allen_ai and Hymba 1.5B from @nvidia

Give this a watch/listen 👇

A special LLM course focusing on Smol models, the <2B parameters generic models which can run on-device/in-browser
For anyone interested in fine-tuning or aligning LLMs, I’m running this free and open course called smol course. It’s not a big deal, it’s just smol.

How do LLMs learn to reason from data? Are they ~retrieving the answers from parametric knowledge🦜? In our new preprint, we look at the pretraining data and find evidence against this:

Procedural knowledge in pretraining drives LLM reasoning ⚙️🔢

one of the nice things about bsky is how easy it is to get data from it via the "atproto" python client. See the image and gist for example code, showing how you can get an author's posts, and get your own "home" timeline.
