Meta’s Omnilingual MT for 1,600 Languages
Abstract Advances made through No Language Left Behind (NLLB) have demonstrated that high-quality machine translation (MT) scale to 200 languages. Later Large Language Models (LLMs) have been adopted for MT, increasing in quality but not necessarily extending language coverage. Current systems remain constrained by limited coverage and a persistent generation bottleneck: while crosslingual transfer enables […]
Have a Fucking Website
Look, I get it. The foundations of the internet are broken and we’ve somehow gotten to a place where having a website is either expensive, complicated, or perceived as unnecessary, whereas social media platforms are cheap and easy. But still, please, if you are a business or an individual artist or creator, have a fucking […]
Launch an autonomous AI agent with sandboxed execution in 2 lines of code
This notebook demonstrates how to use the Agent pipeline from OnPrem.LLM to create autonomous agents that can execute complex tasks using a variety of tools. The pipeline works with any LiteLLM-supported model that supports tool-calling: Cloud: openai/gpt-5.2-codex, anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5, gemini/gemini-1.5-pro Local: Ollama (ollama/llama3.1), vLLM (hosted_vllm/), llama.cpp (use OpenAI interface) For llama.cpp: Use openai/ (e.g., gpt-oss-120b) as […]
The Pleasures of Poor Product Design
(Photo © Katerina Kamprani — The Uncomfortable) Note: This post is not paywalled. Enjoy! — Paul As you all know, I’m a big fan of good design. But I recently learned of a project devoted to bad design, and I can’t get enough of it. Welcome to The Uncomfortable, the brilliantly named brainchild of a […]
Mamba-3
Since the release of Mamba-2 in mid-2024, most architectures have switched from Mamba-1. Why? Mamba-2 made the bet that training efficiency was the largest bottleneck for state space models (SSMs), and thus simplified the underlying SSM mechanism to deliver 2−8× faster training compared to its predecessor, leading to wider adoption. Since then, the LLM landscape […]
Mistral AI Releases Forge
Today, we’re introducing Forge, a system for enterprises to build frontier-grade AI models grounded in their proprietary knowledge. Most AI models available today are trained primarily on publicly available data. They are designed to perform well across a broad range of tasks. But enterprises operate using internal knowledge: engineering standards, compliance policies, codebases, operational processes, […]
Warranty Void If Regenerated
Tom Hartmann had not planned to become a Software Mechanic. But then, nobody who was a Software Mechanic had planned to become one, because the job hadn’t existed seven years ago, and the people doing it had all been something else first. This was true of most professions in the post-transition economy, and it had […]
Get Shit Done: A Meta-Prompting, Context Engineering and Spec-Driven Dev System
English · 简体中文 A light-weight and powerful meta-prompting, context engineering and spec-driven development system for Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot, and Antigravity. Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as Claude fills its context window. npx get-shit-done-cc@latest Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. ”If you know clearly what you want, this […]
Launch HN: Kita (YC W26) – Automate credit review in emerging markets
Hey HN! We’re Carmel and Rhea, the founders of Kita (https://www.usekita.com/). We automate credit review for lenders in emerging markets using VLMs. In many emerging markets, like the Philippines and Mexico, credit infrastructure is weak. Open finance is still nascent, and credit bureaus are unreliable. So to apply for a loan, lenders rely on borrowers […]
Meta Horizon Worlds on Meta Quest is being discontinued
Earlier this year, we shared an update on our renewed focus for VR and Horizon. We are separating the two platforms so each can grow with greater focus, and the Horizon Worlds platform will become a mobile-only experience. This separation will extend across our ecosystem, including our mobile app. To support this vision, we are […]
