Serving Models Across 4 GPUs Without Losing Your Mind

2026-04-12

How I stopped fighting with sequential model loading on a multi-GPU VM and built a simple job queue with uvicorn workers instead.

Running Minecraft on a Kubernetes Cluster with Coding Agents

2026-04-11

I built a system that streams Minecraft from L4 GPUs in Kubernetes pods, with an AI agent inside the container that writes Java plugins, compiles them, and tests them in-game.

Why Your Agent Can't See Its Own Mistakes

2026-04-10

On using a separate vision model (Gemini) for visual QA instead of letting the same agent judge its own 3D models. Fresh eyes matter, even for LLMs.

Using Latent Distance as a Proxy for Uncertainty

2026-04-07

Neural networks don't tell you when they're guessing. We tested a cheap way to fix that by looking at the model's internal state, and it outperformed the expensive standard methods.

Uncertainty-Guided Search Beats Beam Search

2026-04-06

What if a model only explored alternatives when it was unsure? We tested this against standard approaches and found it recovers errors with less compute.

The Cliff Problem with Chain-of-Thought

2026-04-05

Chain-of-thought reasoning gets perfect scores during training, then collapses to 0% one step outside its comfort zone. We found an alternative that degrades gracefully instead.

Your Agent Needs to Know What It Doesn't Know

2026-04-04

AI agents confidently walk off cliffs they can't see. We ran three sets of experiments showing that self-awareness, not just raw capability, is what's missing.

Training a 3D Fighting Game as a Neural Network

2026-02-03

What if a neural network could replace a game engine? I recorded thousands of frames from a 3D robot fighting game and trained a model to generate the next frame from controller inputs.
