Joint weight‑harness optimization approaches fine‑tuned model performance

4+ hour, 42+ min ago   (634+ words) Alternating updates of model weights and executable harnesses can reach accuracy on par with full fine‑tuning while consuming a fraction of the training compute. The WHALE recipe shows that interleaving a short weight‑update phase with a lightweight harness…...

I Sell Memory APIs. I'm Also Building the Benchmark. Here's How I'm Trying Not to Rig It.

4+ hour, 38+ min ago   (795+ words) Hey everyone. This time I'll go through what got me started on this benchmark, and the core of how it's actually built. All numbers below are from the current build. Nothing is final yet, so some of them will have…...

Context Window Management for Long-Running AI Agents: 4 Patterns That Work

5+ hour, 6+ min ago   (650+ words) The agent had been running for four hours and it was arguing with itself about a file it had already fixed. For years I'd thought about context window management as a packing problem. How do I fit more in. That…...

AI Agent Memory: Sliding Windows, Summaries, and Vector Storage

5+ hour, 44+ min ago   (623+ words) The agent we built in Post #4 has one big problem — the moment the script ends, it forgets everything. Next time you run it, it starts from zero. No memory of past conversations, no retained facts, nothing. For a quick experiment…...

The more aggressive matmul kernel lost to the register budget

5+ hour, 17+ min ago   (171+ words) The WebGPU matmul sweep started with a naive kernel, then added 16 by 16 workgroup tiling and a 4 by 4 output block per thread. At a 2048 cubed matrix size, the measured time moved from 47.24 ms for the naive kernel to 17.23 ms for tiling…...

Designing a deterministic browser-side photo analysis flow

6+ hour, 41+ min ago   (196+ words) While building a small browser-based facial-proportion tool, I found that a few engineering choices matter more than adding another model. The pipeline starts with 478 detected facial landmarks and derives four displayed proportions: harmony, symmetry, eye area, and jawline. The important…...
