As a fun Saturday vibe code project and following up on this tweet earlier, I hacked up an **llm-council** web app. It looks exactly like ChatGPT except each user query is 1) dispatched to multiple models on your council using OpenRouter, e.g. currently: "openai/gpt-5.1",

Iโ€™m starting to get into a habit of reading everything (blogs, articles, book chapters,โ€ฆ) with LLMs. Usually pass 1 is manual, then pass 2 โ€œexplain/summarizeโ€, pass 3 Q&A. I usually end up with a better/deeper understanding than if I moved on. Growing to among top use cases. On

I took delivery of a beautiful new shiny HW4 Tesla Model X today, so I immediately took it out for an FSD test drive, a bit like I used to do almost daily for 5 years. Basically... I'm amazed - it drives really, really well, smooth, confident, noticeably better than what I'm used

Excited to release new repo: nanochat! (it's among the most unhinged I've written). Unlike my earlier similar repo nanoGPT which only covered pretraining, nanochat is a minimal, from scratch, full-stack training/inference pipeline of a simple ChatGPT clone in a single,

We tested 21 AI models on 5 self-harm scenarios. The results were sobering. When we saw the recent news involving AI chatbots and teen suicides, we became deeply concerned. As LLMs are proliferating through every piece of software in the world, how can developers know the models

Why is AI-powered journaling tool @joinrosebud better than the other guys? As co-founder @chrysb explains to @alexisohanian, the difference is human. Smarter prompt creation and the ability to customize both tone and style mean Rosebud knows how to talkโ€”and *listen* โœจ
