Discrete symbols and mathematics foundations of AI modeling
By
–
To make sense of the world is to model it in the simplest possible way. And simplicity requires discrete symbols. This is why we developed mathematics in the first place.

Bfloat16 Precision Gaps in Large Scatter Plots Beyond Origin
By
–
Making a scatter plot of 400_000 data points, some of the plots had odd gaps in coverage. It took me a little while to realize that it was only when the data was farther from the origin — it was the raw bfloat16 precision. Everything looks great from -1 to 1, but as you go past 2 and 4, the coverage gaps get larger. My intuition didn't have it being quite so "discretely countable" at those modest numeric values. Float32 for comparison.

Agentic AI Inference Optimization Across Specialized Hardware
By
–
Big moment for agentic AI Inference isn’t one-size-fits-all—and this blueprint proves it. By matching each phase to the right compute (GPUs for prefill, SambaNova RDUs for high-throughput decode, and Intel Xeon 6 for orchestration + tools), we unlock a new level of

Performance optimization strategies for file search systems
By
–
The wins came from three places: 1. Pre-computing upfront in a clever way that doesn't block the main thread
2. Avoiding NAPI overhead for small result sets
3. Iteratively asking Claude to find perf improvements for faster file search -
