Running Claude Code with open-weight models like DeepSeek or Qwen through a LiteLLM proxy works. Until it doesn't. The port changes every time LiteLLM restarts because it picks a random dynamic port. The request payload grows until backends reject it with 400 errors. Usage stats come back null and t...More ›

Everyone building AI agent systems right now assumes the same thing: more agents, better results. Split the work across specialized agents, let them collaborate, and the output improves. A research paper from Google Research, DeepMind, and MIT tested that assumption across 180 controlled configurati...More ›

What do software teams actually produce? Most people say features. Ship features, hit deadlines, move the roadmap. For a long time that was close enough. But now AI can generate features. It can scaffold services, write CRUD endpoints, wire up frontends, produce tests. The code itself is approaching...More ›

AI has been around since the very beginning of computers. This is not some new phenomenon. Computing has steadily evolved from binary code and assembly language to the high-level languages we use today, all of it trying to bridge the gap between what a human wants and what a machine can execute.
