I use both! Some tasks (crons) work great with locals, some need top tier models. It limits my server/data exposure footprint. I fully understand that it's not perfect, but it's a good step in the right direction.

NVIDIA’s Self-Evolving Logic Synthesis Framework with Multi-Agent LLMs
By
–
NEW paper from NVIDIA. EDA tools like ABC have been hand-tuned by humans for decades. New research from NVIDIA shows they can evolve themselves. The work introduces the first self-evolving logic synthesis framework: multi-agent LLMs autonomously refine the entire ABC codebase,

Simple Prompting Trick Improves LLM Randomness and Output Diversity
By
–
Getting LLMs to simulate “true” randomness or generate diverse outputs is surprisingly difficult. We found a simple prompting trick that solves this by having the model generate and manipulate a random string. To be presented at #ICLR2026 this week!

SR 26-2 is out. GenAI is explicitly out of scope — meaning no regulatory floor for the models banks are deploying fastest.
TIAA, Capital One, and former NY Life are on stage at Rev NYC, May 19 to respond. First panel to address the regulation. Free event. https://

AI Agents Challenge Alignment Like Self-Service BI Did
By
–
The clearest analogy is self-service BI. We democratized data.
We sped up access.
But we also created endless KPI debates. Why? → Different teams used different definitions
→ Different reports showed different numbers
→ Humans could still stop, argue, and align AI agents
