Interesting attempt by Salesforce to create a benchmark for realistic business tasks - we need more of these! Worth tracking over time as new models come out (though I would love to see a contest, ARC-AGI style, to ask people to try to beat these benchmarks and see if they can with prompts & tools)

I posted my guide to running LLMs on your local computer starting from scratch. This covers uv, llm, and llm-mlx. Many thanks to @simonwillison.net for the brilliant LLM tools and shared wisdom.

My LLM command-line tool and Python library now has support for tool calling! You can define tools as Python functions or bundle them in plugins, and LLM can then make them available to models. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Ollama are supported so far. simonwillison.net/2025/May/27/...

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

I realized something recently, which is that we're building AI tools completely backwards. While I was aware that there's some de-skilling happening already, I finally clicked a bunch of pieces together and decided to write this to talk about how we can do better hazelweakly.me/blog/stop-bu...

Apologies in advance for what might look like a rambling diatribe going nowhere. But the one thing I know really well - better than almost anyone else - is boxing. And there’s a really valuable lesson from boxing that the Democratic Party needs to learn in a hurry. Let’s start with the boxing bit.

llama.cpp shipped new support for vision models this morning, including macOS binaries (albeit quarantined so you have to take extra steps to run them) that let you run vision models in a terminal or as a localhost web UI My notes on how to get it running on a Mac […]

🚨New Preprint! Did you know that steering vectors from one LM can be transferred and re-used in another LM? We argue this is because token embeddings across LMs share many “global” and “local” geometric similarities!

Have we talked about this paper yet on bsky? It's really good, and ought to be cited widely by people working at the humanities-AI interface. TLDR: If AI is going to be applied to fuzzy human problems, social science measurement theory becomes essential. #MLSky

ColBERT (a.k.a. multi-vector, late-interaction) models are extremely strong search models, often outperforming dense embedding models. And @lightonai.bsky.social just released a new state-of-the-art one: GTE-ModernColBERT-v1! Details in 🧵

Yesterday I shared how to run fast ModernBERT inference with vLLM. Today I’m running the same pipeline serverlessly on @hf.co Jobs — using a single script powered by uv. Inline metadata handles all dependencies. Just hfjobs run + uv run. That’s it!

i tore this apart this morning, the gist: - yes, it separates knowledge from reasoning 🎉 - it substitutes MHA computational complexity for knowledge graph schema design 🤔 i’m partly ecstatic, this is huge, but also disappointed bc KG design is largely unsolved

Life improved immensely once I learned to stop telling Cursor "it still doesn't work" and instead tell it to pause, don't write any code, investigate the issue properly, come up with 3-5 theories for what's going wrong, and validate theories with logs. I also give it web + docs access, if relevant.
