@nvidia is joining us as a sponsor along with @redwood_ai , @RubricLabs and @rootlyhq ! a special thanks to all our sponsors for the week-long AI safety (control) hackathon, launching this Thursday both irl in Montreal and online signups still open, details in thread!

Something new this way comes. Can you guess what it is?

Agents now routinely write working code. The software still feels subtly wrong. We lay out how we define “done” for software in the agentic era.

New post: Unblocking Agents Agents are capable of building great software. What stops them: permissions, credentials, infrastructure, and identity. We stood up a parallel org called Rubrot and gave agents admin permissions, hardware and credit cards. rubriclabs.com/blog/unblocki…

New post: Primitives over Pipelines The AI systems most teams are shipping today were designed for dumber models. Now that frontier intelligence can follow instructions, reason, and self-correct the move is to give agents primitives and let them cook. rubriclabs.com/blog/primitiv…

GPT-5.2 from @OpenAI launched yesterday and we wanted to test it. We built a playground to test its coding UI capabilities and set a $1000 API limit. Go nuts: rubric.tv

we did it new high score

1080p is so 2024. watch the video on our new website instead! we built a custom video component to load the video at 4K really fast at the edge. rubriclabs.com/?1=1

Introducing → Rubric Labs We're an applied AI lab. We build ambitious AI products. Our team has worked with leading-edge companies like Gumloop and Graphite to help bring practical AI applications to market. We sat down to talk about our process.

Instead of sharing a Google Drive link, @dexterstorey built a custom tool to upload and pick from 1000s of high quality images that load instantly w/ preview, collaboration, auth, folders, and more. What a time to be alive.

Visualizing your business as a graph is surprisingly cathartic.

We've rolled our own custom accounting software to enable an LLM to backlink, reconcile and unify our client management, accounting and reporting in one place. - It's built to handle any currency (normalizes everything to USD based on granular exchange rates) - Works across multiple business entities e.g Rubric Canada, Rubric America, etc. Why? We're on a mission to operate at the scale of 50 people with a headcount of 5-10 people and the first step to that is running your business like an API. Currently, we've only codified our business logic in one place and now we're on track to handle data entry transaction reconciliation using a fine-tuned LLM. At the limit, we'd have real-time insights into our business's health and make more aggressive bets based on the available leverage.

rOS is now also qualifying leads for our agency fairly accurately using a fine-tuned gpt-4o mini 🤝

This week, we're experimenting with browser agents. Now to make it 100% reliable.
