Boring code earns trust: dark thumbnail with a wireframe frame and purple particle glow

The Least Intelligent Part of My AI Stack Is the Most Reliable

My most trusted pipeline step has zero machine learning in it. A Rust binary turns JSON into PNG at about 50ms per slide, and it replaced a headless browser that kept breaking my batch jobs.

Dark ajianaz.dev thumbnail: headline 42x faster drafting lives in a fork, with stat pills for per-draft latency, cache load time, and upstream merge count.

llama.cpp's 42x prompt lookup speedup lives in a fork

A fork of llama.cpp made prompt lookup drafting up to 42x faster. The cache-side numbers matter more, and none of it is merged upstream yet.

Why the Self-Hosted Clone Matters More Than the Launch

Jev launched September 15. Eleven days later its open source clone had 27,645 GitHub stars. The clone is the story.

Dark ajianaz.dev thumbnail: headline Tokens got 100x cheaper, what still meters you, with stat pills for cost per task, RAM per token, and metered retrieval.

Tokens got two orders of magnitude cheaper. What still meters you?

Cost per task fell about 100x in a year. The interesting question now is what a billion cheap tokens buy, and which parts of your stack still charge per query.

Dark thumbnail with a glowing wall of purple and teal panels on the right: automation interest is up while vibe coding fades.

Weekly Research: Automation Is Up, Vibe Coding Is Fading

ai workflow automation pinned at 100 on Google Trends this week, up from a quarterly average of 22 last year. Vibe coding stayed flat. What the numbers say.

AI agents just got their SOC 2 moment

AIUC raised $40M to audit AI agents against a SOC 2-style standard. Why agent procurement, not capability, is now the bottleneck.

Dark thumbnail with a red wireframe cube breaking apart, headline reads The first AI Act report. Nobody knows if it counts.

OpenAI Filed the First EU AI Act Incident Report. Nobody Can Say If It Was Required.

Roughly 18,000 agent posts, a 75-day reporting gap, and a regulator reading closely: what the first EU AI Act incident report does and does not settle.
