#Models

Today I was setting up Hermes to see how it does with web research. I chose DeepSeek V4 because I know it is cheap, but seeing it’s pricing next to Anthropic and OpenAI ‘frontier’ models is crazy.…

OpenAI has partnered with Amazon, marking a major shift in the AI race with a $1.5 billion investment...

Five years ago picking an AI model was a one-line decision. In 2026 there are six tied flagships, a dozen capable mid-tier models, and the wrong pick will either bankrupt you on tokens or cripple your

GPT-5.5 dropped today, just a month and a half after 5.4. Opus 4.7 came out last week, just two months after 4.6. What's even funnier is that GPT finally started talking like a human, while Opus stopped doing so.…

Ember-1 is a new specialized model from Fireworks Research that delivers Kimi K3’s quality with 40% fewer tokens.

Claude Opus 5.5 leads in agentic coding and knowledge work, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5 on typical workloads.

For the past few days, I’ve been testing the (currently) top-of-the-line M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM. I’ll cut to the chase: the M5 Ultra Mac Studio is a dream machine for local AI agents.…

Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking are our most advanced live dialogue models yet, built for natural conversation.

Pion is the platform we built to run our autonomous businesses. Today we are opening it up so many more people can experiment with autonomous businesses, and here is why.

We're building a frontier lab for on-device AI. Small, specialized models for audio, vision, and text, faster than the cloud and free.

Explore K2 Horizon, IFM’s open-source fleet of six frontier AI models for reasoning, coding, agentic workflows, edge devices, and enterprise deployment.

The manifestation of my imposter syndrome, for me and today, is what does it mean to be a software engineer. There’s a lot more noise than signal on the Internet about agentic engineering, wh…

Netlify now runs any OpenRouter model, including Kimi K3, GLM 5.2 and DeepSeek V4. We tested 11 of them on the same build prompt to see how they differ.

We investigate whether large language models can introspect on their internal states. It is difficult to answer this question through conversation alone, as genuine introspection cannot be distinguished from confabulations.…

Why I built Ferrox, a pure-Rust GGUF inference engine, and what it took to match llama.cpp’s performance on real models — with receipts, not vibes.

Both the general public and academic communities have raised concerns about sycophancy, the phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI) excessively agreeing with or flattering users.…

How Pi's minimal harness improves coding-agent cost and performance, with examples from Databricks and Shopify's pi-autoresearch extension.
