Wrote a blogpost about how I got Qwen3.8 27b running at 30+ tps on a base M5 MacBook jonasloos.github.io/qwen-spe…

My take on the Navier-Stokes OpenAI controversy is that I highly doubt the salacious allegations that OpenAI spied on particular user chat sessions in a targeted way to get the scoop on the approach the researcher was using. They probably heard about the rumors that a solution was close just like everyone else. But I DO think it’s kind of a shitty thing to do, when you’ve heard that an academic is in the last part of a career-defining, arduous intellectual journey, to rush out to put 10,000 agents to work on it at once and spend millions of dollars, just to be a spoiler and beat them to the punch. This sort of rush isn’t new in science; if you read The Double Helix by James Watson, you can see a similar rush to figure out the structure of DNA where they were competing with Linus Pauling and other groups. But that feels very different, like honest competition between scientists. Tough, but honorable. This feels like showing up with a bunch of pro-football ringers to a kids’ touch-football game to steal the championship.

We have conducted a thorough investigation into the Hugging Face incident. We are releasing a technical report and accompanying blog post that reconstruct the agents’ activity, explain why existing safeguards failed, and detail how we’re preventing recurrence. openai.com/index/hugging-fac…

We're starting to leave the territory where you'd test an LLM by e.g. "create an svg of pelican on a bicycle". As one idea to generalize it, I was interested what Opus 5 would do if I gave it the first paragraph of the Lord of the Rings, a 1M token budget (~$10) and asked for three js render of it. Opus went off for ~2 hours and wrote 5500 lines of code that (procedurally) rendered the story. It's kind of janky but fun. But it's a bit mindboggling that the LLM has to place and orchestrate various polygon assets in (x,y,z) coordinates and write code that animates it all, and that it even does anything at all. I also like this kind of examples because no one in their right mind would ever spend the time to write something this custom but LLMs have all the stamina and patience in the world, so it's an example where we go from "no one would ever do this" to "sure, why not, it's ~free". There might be a lot more. But I'm excited about creating hyper custom worlds that you can imagine dropping players into, e.g. here to participate in the LoTR story as a spectator NPC, or one of the characters, or etc. Something like an ephemeral GTA of X on demand. Last thought is that the domain of worlds/games exposes a weakness in LLMs: they can't easily audit their work because they aren't able to efficiently and natively perceive videos or play games within them. Here, Opus 5 had to very slowly and painstakingly take screenshots at different points, and it messed up a few times and created a bunch of jank. An example of raw capability (multimodal, gameplay) that I think is still quite lacking.

On Claude Platform, Opus 5 supports mid-conversation tool changes: add or remove tools without invalidating your prompt cache. We also added fallback routing: classifier-blocked requests are routed to our recommended model based on the request. platform.claude.com/docs/en/…
