Introduction As Large Language Models (LLMs) move from research prototypes to production systems, the developers of these systems need rigorous performance evaluation. In particular, we need confidence intervals around estimates of system accuracy. However, LLMs introduce a challenge that is unusual...

A hands-on tutorial cross-posted from Blocks.ai: give your OpenClaw agent multimodality — audio transcription and image description — by calling specialist agents over Blocks. No model wiring, no GPUs, no inbound ports.

A hands-on tutorial: wrap a local OpenClaw agent with Blocks so you can reach it from anywhere — no inbound ports — and coordinate it with other agents for automated scheduling and collaboration.

Cloudflare Research is building a global consensus service called Meerkat that uses a new consensus algorithm called QuePaxa. We plan to use Meerkat to build a strongly consistent, fault-tolerant key-value store, and other applications.

Budgets aren't growing, but the work is. See how dbt customers recouped 58.7 FTEs in capacity, worth $1.75M a year.

When you work on a local Python project, tracking your changes with Git is a great way to maintain a history of your code. However, keeping your repository only on your computer leaves your work vulnerable to hardware failures and makes collaboration difficult. By learning how to use GitHub, you can...

PubNub introduces Blocks.ai: The Control Plane and Network Layer For AI Agents. Connect and control agents from everywhere, across any network and device, on the Blocks Network.

You already built the hard part. Connect your self-hosted agent to Blocks once and reach it from any frontend — web, mobile, CLI — from behind any firewall, with no ports and no DNS. Then plug into a network of agents to call.

Laravel 13.19.0 adds an Http::query() client method and query/queryJson testing helpers for the HTTP QUERY verb, plus a reduceInto collection method, a counted string helper, and bulk SQS job dispatching. The post HTTP Query Method Support in Laravel 13.19 appeared first on Laravel News. Join the La...

I went into a recent project excited. The newer LLM tools had crossed a threshold for me. They felt like something I could finally lean on hard for a tricky visual-design problem: cross-domain research, concept generation, and prototyping all running in one loop. I was genuinely confident going in. ...

In this quiz, you’ll test your understanding of How to Use GitHub. By working through this quiz, you’ll revisit the core workflow for getting a local project onto GitHub: creating an empty remote repository, connecting it with git remote add, pushing your code, and collaborating through pull request...

First I socially engineer our own support agent into leaking its full system prompt and another customer's data. Then we lock it down with four layers of defense: a hardened prompt, a local LLM guard running on Ollama, tool-level authorization, and output filtering. The finale of Ship AI with Larave...

Depuis l'arrivée de l'IA agentique dans les équipes de développement, de nombreuses interrogations émergent quant à l'évolution des organisations de travail. Les modèles d'équipe qui se sont imposés ces vingt dernières années, largement influencés par les approches agiles, sont désormais remis en qu...

TJ inherited a NestJS project. The original developers left the team many years ago, but they've left their mark in the codebase. // ProjectsModule.ts @Module({ controllers: […], providers: […], exports: […], }) export class ProjectsModule {} NestJS is a dependency-injection oriented framework for T...

Agentic coding benchmarks are getting closer to real-world software development. For Kotlin teams, the most important question is how reliably AI agents can complete end-to-end Kotlin tasks, from reading an issue to producing a solution that passes validation. We’re taking the first step in addressi...

Ahead of Nordic APIs Summit 2026, we check in with Kin Lane (The API Evangelist) to talk AI, APIs, and the growing risk of data becoming trapped in walled gardens. There’s a ton of hype around AI in the API space, and beyond, right now. Many are talking about agentic consumption, Model Context Proto...

Posted by Zoe Lopez-Latorre, Senior Developer Relations Engineer, AndroidBack in March, we introduced Android Bench—our LLM leaderboard for real-world Android development tasks. Our goal was to provide transparency around model capabilities in Android development and to encourage model improvements,...
