Peer review in the LLM (mania) age
A computer science researcher has published a sharp critique of how large language models are invading academic peer review, arguing that the technology's escalatory nature is making the problem worse rather than better, and that...
Ask HN: Do you token max? Why or why not?
A developer's six-step argument for why engineering teams should push AI coding agents to their absolute limits has generated discussion on Hacker News, offering a concise case study in how individual practitioners are rethinking...
Paul Graham on LLMs 'Thinking'
Paul Graham has published a brief but pointed meditation on the language we use to describe what large language models do, arguing that calling an LLM's output "thinking" is not merely a rhetorical flourish but a historical patter...
ServingStudio: Simulating, Analyzing, and Optimizing LLM Serving Systems
A team of researchers from the University of Washington has released ServingStudio, an integrated system that combines a high-speed simulator with an autonomous agent to optimize the performance of large language model serving inf...
Ask HN: How do you feel about the new $500 OpenAI subscription?

Show HN: MEF LLM Studio
Understanding how a large language model works is one thing. Watching it learn, making sense of its loss curves, and comparing its predictions at different training stages is quite another. M.E.F LLM Studio is a Windows applicatio...
Show HN: Critic – Review code with the agent that wrote it
In distributed AI coding tools, a question asked on one device should not vanish because another device is offline. A file anchor should not silently attach to the wrong line of code because the system guessed wrong. These are the...
