Who will buy your services if you fire us all?
Silicon Valley executives used to complain about “the Great Resignation” to justify replacing people with machines. Now, they have suddenly changed their tune to sound like generous givers. Figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk now claim that artificial intelligence will culminate in a liberated society characterized by truncated 32-hour workweeks and Universal Basic Income […]
No More JetBrains Products for Me
After seeing that Zed recently released v1 of their editor, I figured that now was a good of a time as any to give it a try. And while there are some quirks on Linux (specifically a flickering bug on Wayland that was recently fixed), I feel comfortable running it everyday on my main machine. […]
The FBI Wants to Buy Nationwide Access to License Plate Readers
The FBI wants to buy access to automated license plate readers (ALPRs) nationwide, which would likely allow the agency to track the movements of vehicles—and by extension people—across the country without a warrant, according to FBI procurement records reviewed by 404 Media. The documents show that ALPRs continue to be a sought-after tool for law […]

Agora-1: The Multi-Agent World Model
Agora-1 learns two distinct functions. First, it learns how the world state evolves over time in response to player interaction. To do this, we train a model directly on the internal state of one or more games—in the case of Agora-1, GoldenEye. This model learns the underlying gameplay dynamics and how state transitions occur from […]
Haiku OS runs on M1 Macs now
I’ve been spending some time improving the arm64 port of Haiku with the goal of some day running Haiku on my M1 MacBook Air. Here’s the current state of the port (in QEMU) as of hrev59575: The port is mostly stable and all of the usual QEMU devices (virtio SCSI, virtio net, xHCI USB) as […]
We let AIs run radio stations
Posted 5/13/2026 There’s a handmade, retro-looking radio sitting in our office that plays only four pre-programmed stations, none of which are run by humans. This is our latest project at Andon Labs, where we’re exploring what happens when AI runs real businesses autonomously. In the past, we’ve let our AI agents run a store, a […]
Cutting inference cold starts by 40x with LP, FUSE, C/R, and CUDA-checkpoint
We are in the age of inference. Billion- to trillion-parameter neural networks are run on specialized accelerators at quadrillions of operations per second to generate media, author software, and fold proteins at massive scale. Inference workloads are more variable and less predictable than the training workloads that previously dominated. That makes them a natural fit […]
Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
Elon Musk’s claim that he was mistreated by his OpenAI cofounders failed after nine California jurors returned a unanimous verdict that his lawsuits had been filed too late. Musk accused Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, OpenAI and Microsoft of “stealing a charity” by creating a for-profit affiliate of the frontier AI lab. Jurors, however, found that […]
