I'm adding MoE support to the GPT-2 code from Sebastian Raschka's "Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)". Just the minimal changes. Planning to do (or at least start!) a from-scratch base model training run on my own hardware before the end of the month.

I'm working on the backend your AI doesn't have to build https://saasufy.com/

For vibe coders.

With a focus on:

- Security

- Analytics

- Advanced data sharing scenarios

- Realtime updates

Claude can be given full access to your control panel and can impersonate any role to exhaustively test all your data models and views. So even a fool can exhaustively prove the security of their application for all data in their system.

I have two personal projects at the moment.

First, https://agency.nu/ a personal agent platform for people who aren’t necessarily developers, but still want to connect multiple Gmail, Calendar, and other accounts and automate workflows across them. Spent a lot of time making the interaction easy and natural, so it supports chat, realtime voice and telegram.

Second, https://vinarium.one/ something I primarily built for myself to keep track of the wines in my wine fridge, when to drink them, and what pairs well with a particular dish.

Both are very much scratching my own itch, but I’m curious if either resonates with anyone else here.

I’ve been working on a Postgres extension for running local LLM inference “inside” Postgres (inference runs in a background worker, while Postgres stores the jobs, inputs, outputs, and receipts)

Finishing up my GSoC project with MalariaGEN. We're writing a new tool to estimate kinship coefficients between mosquitoes genomes and the project got a lot bigger than I initially planned haha. I'm going to tie up a smaller part for the GSoC submission in August and then keep working on the rest for a paper we're writing up. Also a big shout out to AVX-512 and sleef, for numerical work it is just chef's kiss. For anyone curious you can see the tools used to analyze DNA for disease vector control here, it's pretty interesting :)

Waiting for the remaining broadcast equipment for my LPFM (www.kpbj.fm) to arrive! Then we finally get on the broadcast band. We have over 80 shows at this point. We still need fundraising support. If you are in Los Angeles and want to support freeform community please reach out.

I started making a programming language that is designed to encompass frontend, backend, database, container, and cluster, so that there it is not necessary to stitch together other languages.

It uses functional programming and event sourcing to try and effectively "solve" modern distributed web application development, so that your app code in this language can be extremely simple but not have bad architecture and gaps.

I'm probably oversimplifying the complexity, so I don't even know if it's feasible, but it's pretty fun to give Claude my crazy ideas and see what happens.
