The Week in DevTools
Artificial Confidence
This newsletter covers the AI inference industry the way someone who actually has to pay the bill would: skeptically, specifically, and with a working calculator paired with a functional brain.
Edge AI Lab
Edge AI Lab is a research-grade macOS application that runs Gemma 4 directly on-device. It's designed for developers, researchers, and power users who want to explore the capabilities of on-device AI without sending a single byte to the cloud.
Direct The Ship, Don’t Row It
"A few months ago, I thought I had a clear view on what AI meant for the product triad. Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers were converging. Roles were merging into what the Valley seems to call the “AI Builder”."

Loop engineering is replacing yourself as the person who prompts the agent. You design the system that does it instead. A loop here can be thought of a recursive goal where you define a purpose and the AI iterates until complete.
Implications of Large-Scale Test-Time Compute
As LLMs become more capable, benchmark performance is increasingly a function of test-time compute. In fact, we likely don't know what the capability ceiling is for modern LLMs because it's too expensive to measure.
