𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧 ... 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 ... 𝗜𝗡 ( 𝟱𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗜𝗗𝘀 )? The 𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣 (Fowler 2002, Evans 2003) taught a generation of developers to treat the database as a dumb key-value store behind clean interfaces. At 50 rows in a Spring Boot tutorial, that's fine. At 10M rows with a columnar engine designed for JOINs, it generates 600KB SQL that the database literally refuses to execute. Unfortunately a zillion blog posts and quintillion lines of poor "open source code" of the past 25 years also helped pass this "knowledge" on to LLMs. No matter the token cost, garbage in - garbage out, is still the principle with AI.

this is seriously bad.

LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server self-replicate. link below

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a few days off to recharge before another exciting year

Google introduced Gemini 3 as their most intelligent model and a new family of AI models combining state-of-the-art reasoning with multimodal understanding and powerful agentic capabilities - Gemini 3 Pro tops LMArena Leaderboard with 1501 Elo, scores 37.5% on Humanity's Last Exam without tools, 91.9% on GPQA Diamond, 23.4% on MathArena Apex, and 72.1% on SimpleQA Verified for factual accuracy - Available now in Gemini app (select "Thinking" from model picker), Google Search AI Mode (for US Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, expanding to all US users soon), Vertex AI, Google AI Studio with free tier and rate limits, Gemini CLI (for Ultra subscribers and paid API key holders, waitlist for others), Android Studio Otter, and new Google Antigravity agentic development platform (based on VS Code) - Pricing set at $2 per million input tokens and $12 per million output tokens for prompts under 200k tokens, with free access in Google AI Studio subject to rate limits - Gemini 3 Deep Think mode achieves 41.0% on Humanity's Last Exam, 93.8% on GPQA Diamond, and 45.1% on ARC-AGI-2, rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers in coming weeks after safety evaluations - New capabilities include generative interfaces with dynamic view and visual layout experiments, Gemini Agent for multi-step tasks available to US Ultra subscribers only, and redesigned app with My Stuff folder for finding created content - Gemini 3 Pro scores 1487 Elo on WebDev Arena, 54.2% on Terminal-Bench 2.0, and 76.2% on SWE-bench Verified for coding tasks, with integrations available in Cursor, GitHub, JetBrains, Manus, Replit, Cline, and Google Antigravity available free in public preview for MacOS, Windows, Linux - Enterprise customers get access through Gemini Enterprise and Vertex AI, eligible US college students receive free year of Google AI Pro, Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers get higher usage limits, with additional Gemini 3 models coming soon

it is called "single point of failure" - we are all guilty. #cloudflare and yes, running multiple CDN providers for your business is non-trivial

THIS, for 20 years now

OpenAI published a new Sora 2 Prompting Guide so I created a prompt template inspired by their recommendations that writes prompts for you Pick your model (Sora 2 for 10s or Sora 2 Pro for 15s), choose from almost 100 styles, add a Cameo if you want, describe your idea and it generates a full prompt with all the cinematography and technical details Try it if you need help getting started with Sora 2 prompts

Oh, thank you

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.5 (claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929), improvements for Claude Code, context editing and memory tool on the Developer Platform, file creation for Pro users in Claude apps, rebranded the Claude Code SDK to Claude Agent SDK, and launched "Imagine with Claude" research preview - Claude Sonnet 4.5 scores 77.2% on SWE-bench Verified (82.0% with high compute) and 61.4% on OSWorld, can work on tasks for over 30 hours, and performs better on reasoning and math benchmarks, priced at $3/$15 per million tokens like Claude Sonnet 4 - The model shows improvements in alignment with less sycophancy, deception, power-seeking, and encouraging delusional thinking, better defense against prompt injection, and is released under AI Safety Level 3 (ASL-3) protections with filters for detecting potentially dangerous inputs and outputs - Claude Code now has checkpoints that save your code before changes so you can roll back by pressing Esc twice or using /rewind, plus a VS Code extension in beta with inline diffs in a sidebar panel, and updated terminal interface with searchable prompt history (Ctrl r) - Context editing on the Developer Platform removes old tool calls and results when approaching token limits (reduced token consumption by 84% in a 100-turn web search evaluation), and the memory tool operates client-side through tool calls letting Claude save information to files that persist across conversations - Pro users can now create and edit files including spreadsheets, documents, PDFs and slide decks in Claude apps, real-time usage tracking is available in Settings > Usage or by typing /usage in Claude Code, and weekly rate limits from July are rolling out now expected to affect fewer than 2% of people using Sonnet 4.5 - "Imagine with Claude" is a temporary research preview available to Max subscribers for five days where Claude creates software in real time, responding and adapting to requests as you interact, with no predetermined functionality or prewritten code
