1.5 TB of VRAM on Mac Studio – RDMA over Thunderbolt 5
Apple gave me access to this Mac Studio cluster to test RDMA over Thunderbolt, a new feature in macOS 26.2. The easiest way to test it is with Exo 1.0, an open source private AI clustering tool. RDMA lets the Macs all act like they have one giant pool of RAM, which speeds up things […]
AI vending machine was tricked into giving away everything
Anthropic installed an AI-powered vending machine in the WSJ office. The LLM, named Claudius, was responsible for autonomously purchasing inventory from wholesalers, setting prices, tracking inventory, and generating a profit. The newsroom’s journalists could chat with Claudius in Slack and in a short time, they had converted the machine to communism and it started giving […]
Two kinds of vibe coding
Vibe Coding I have been teaching myself to vibe code. Back in 2009 I posted a simple Mandelbrot fractal viewer on the web: a single HTML file with inline Javascript. Just 329 lines of code, each pixel a tiny table cell. Click to zoom. Watch it iterate. That was about it! I have wondered if […]

T5Gemma 2: The next generation of encoder-decoder models
T5Gemma 2 is the next evolution of our encoder-decoder family based on Gemma 3, featuring the first multi-modal and long-context encoder-decoder models. Unlike T5Gemma, T5Gemma 2 adopts tied word embeddings (over encoder and decoder) and merged decoder self- and cross-attention to save model parameters. It offers compact pre-trained models at sizes of 270M-270M (~370M total, […]

How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips
SINGAPORE – In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance. Completed in early 2025 and now undergoing testing, the prototype fills nearly […]
