Play with representation engineering from a free tier Colab notebook! Inspired by @NeelNanda5's TransformerLens notebooks, @ivanleomk and I made a notebook to get up and running with @voooooogel's repeng library in just a few minutes with GPUs available on Colab's free tier. colab.research.google.com/dr…

i built the fastest pdf parser available (and it's OSS!) glyphrush: 400 pages/sec, and every page it can't fully handle comes back flagged - requires_ocr, layout_uncertain, table_uncertain - instead of silently broken text. benchmarked against @llama_index's liteparse aka the "world's fastest PDF parser" on its own benchmark design, same machine, warm and cold. glyphrush is faster in every cell: 2.26× vs its no-OCR mode, 110× vs its defaults - while passing the same 9/9 quality gates on 8,624 labeled checks. built with @cursor_ai @ericzakariasson @leerob

and the day 3 recap for @aiDotEngineer singapore is here!! thank u everyone for the trust and all the grace that was extended to me, our team and everyone who made this work see you in 2027 for ai engineer singapore

I’m meeting more YC founders at @aiDotEngineer Singapore than in SF

Heading to Singapore 🇸🇬 to speak at @aiDotEngineer ! I'll be sharing how we're approaching sovereign AI at @SakanaAILabs toward culturally-aligned and sustainable models for Japan. Can't wait to see old friends & connect with the local builder community. Thank you @SherryYanJiang & @swyx <3

in sg for aie, building agents/robots? let's meet

Where in the world can you find a senior government leader with a personal AI stack published on GitHub? How many would be willing to talk about it in a room full of builders? Which is why we are so incredibly honoured to welcome Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, to the lineup of speakers for @aiDotEngineer Singapore. A few weeks ago, Minister Balakrishnan casually dropped a technical writeup of his personal AI system online. Raspberry Pi. Claude. Local embeddings. Knowledge graphs. A full architecture breakdown. And the global AI community noticed because it reflected something bigger: a willingness to engage with these systems directly, publicly, and practically. To kick off AIE Singapore, Minister Balakrishnan will share his experience experimenting with open-source AI tools and building a “second brain” workflow, alongside broader reflections on how AI may reshape global dynamics, and the way people work, think, and manage information. In a role that demands navigating enormous volumes of information and constant context-switching, his reflections will set the tone for the conference in exactly the way we hoped: That meaningful conversations about AI should not stay abstract. They should involve understanding its parameters through practical engagement with the technology. And that Singapore has become the place where that kind of engagement happens seriously.

AI is concentrating, in a few countries, a few companies, a few chips. Open-source AI is the only real check on that. And it only works if the infrastructure to run it actually exists. Today, we're announcing our Series A, $20 M, to make this a reality.
