How To Write With An LLM

Thomas Ptacek on using LLMs as copyeditors, not as writing assistants: Rule Number One: You may not use a single word an LLM suggests to you. [...] I think that …

The AI Inference Revolution Is Here

Today’s tidal wave of queries is forcing hardware makers to pivot

Note: ### The AI Inference Revolution Is Here [IEEE Spectrum article](#rid:1854764141) — a survey of how the shift from AI training to AI **inference** is reshaping chip and memory design. **The shift** Since 2020, the AI story was about training ever-bigger models. In 2026 the spotlight has moved to inference — putting trained models to work. People actually use LLMs now, reasoning models run…

What Happens When the Cost of Intelligence Drops 100x — CatalystNeuro

A given level of LLM intelligence costs about a thirtieth of what it did a year ago, and the rate of decline is accelerating. Using Artificial Analysis's measured cost per task, this post traces the falling price of each capability level, explains why cheaper intelligence leads…

A great deal of useful work does not require the smartest model available, but a model that is good enough, applied many thousands of times
At today’s prices a full pass over the corpus costs a little over a hundred dollars with a model whose capability was at the frontier in the spring. At the prices of this past March, the same pass with the same level of capability would have cost several thousand dollars, and a year ago that…

Why Large Language Models Fail at Tabular Prediction

Large language models (LLMs) have become the default tool for a remarkable range of tasks, yet they have had conspicuously little success at one of the most common machine learning workloads: predictive analytics over tabular data. This gap is the founding premise of the…
