Automic Vault means your CLI tools don’t perform sensitive actions without your approval. This applies to agents and supply chain attacks both. We patch tools at the *packaging layer*. Blessed Scripts allow you to make small, vetted scripts that escalate tool capabilities. Reentrant Blessed Scripts are a scripting pattern that allow you to “weave” in agent capabilities. Interleaving deterministic work with escalated Tool capabilities and secrets with applied intelligence. Perfect for automations. Quoting @AutomicVault We have documented the concept of `Reentrant Blessed Scripts` that describe our suggested mechanism of giving Agent Automations a set of escalated capabilities and secrets.

Just saw that the LLMs-from-scratch repository passed 100,000 stars on GitHub! This is super cool and motivating. I am really happy to see that this open-source repo has helped so many people. Thanks also to everyone who shared ideas and opened PRs with improvements! Of course, I plan to keep adding new material, including new attention variants and architectures (while bigger projects like RL and Reasoning From Scratch live in their separate repositories). I am also currently working on a larger applied custom “small” LLM project. It has been keeping me super busy this month, but I will shar… LLMs Related

I mean I've heard from multiple investors that foundation models are the fastest deteriorating asset of all time. And so if step one of your business is to burn through tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars of capital before you find product market fit and that asset has value for like a a week, I'm not sure it's like a great business model.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
