AI & Code

The AI landscape is electrified by DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 running locally on consumer hardware, a milestone in AI accessibility. Chinese labs are diverging in strategy, with Qwen3.8-Max matching frontier models. Quantization remains a challenge, hurting knowledge nonlinearly. In code, the debate over open-source devtools continues, and a new UI library from Jane Street (Bonsai) was released.
