Real-SWE: Benchmarking AI models on private, real-world, enterprise codebases
Today we are releasing Real-SWE, a benchmark that evaluates frontier AI models on private, real-world, enterprise codebases. Each task comes from a private production codebase that we licensed from a real-world company. These are problems their engineers work on, with all the context and complexity that comes with an existing product. Private codebases. Agents must […]
Benchmark: CadQuery vs. OpenSCAD for agentic CAD work
ModelRift generates OpenSCAD for every model on the platform. That choice is worth re-testing occasionally, so we ran a controlled comparison against the most credible alternative for code-first CAD: CadQuery, a Python library on top of the OpenCascade B-rep kernel. The question was narrow: which one can an AI agent drive to a correct, printable, […]
An open letter to Dario: if you mean it, open the weights
Dear Dario, You published We Must Pace the Frontier today, which committed Anthropic to embedded third-party evaluators and asked governments to require every other frontier company to match. Sam Altman agreed within hours. I believe you’re being sincere, so I’m asking you to call for a different law, one that would actually slow things down, […]
Will There Be a 7G?
Abstract:The transition from 5G to 6G is becoming concrete: the ITU-R IMT-2030 framework has established the high-level vision and capability set for 6G, while 3GPP Release 21 has defined the path toward the first 6G specifications. This raises a deliberately provocative question for the research and standards communities: will there be a 7G, and if […]

Microcode in Intel’s 8087 floating-point chip: the scale instruction
In the 1970s, floating-point arithmetic was a mess. Computer manufacturers had a dozen incompatible arithmetic standards. Moreover, floating-point systems were designed around hardware simplicity rather than mathematical rigor, leading to problems with numerical stability. This changed when Intel introduced the 8087 floating-point coprocessor chip in 1980, designed to be as accurate as possible, even in […]

I made a build visualizer to understand Bun’s compile times
I built buildprof (Github), an open-source tracing tool that shows where the time goes when you compile software on Linux. Here’s a realtime video of it profiling a clean build of ripgrep: Watch the buildprof demo Sometimes, builds are slow because there is simply a lot of code to compile. But more often than not, […]
