Software architecture is tough because it blends coding, math, and business systems. Due to surprises, architectures tend to become irrelevant over time, Barry O'Reilly said. He presented residuality theory, where he suggested stressing naive architectures to reveal hidden “attractors” in complex business systems. This allows designs to better survive change and uncertainty.
By Ben LindersThinking Machines has released Tinker, an API for fine-tuning open-weight language models. The service is designed to reduce infrastructure overhead for developers, providing managed scheduling, GPU allocation, and checkpoint handling. By abstracting away cluster management, Tinker allows fine-tuning through simple Python calls.
By Daniel DominguezClaude Sonnet 4.5 has emerged as the best-performing model in ‘risky tasks’, narrowly edging out GPT-5 in early evaluations by Petri --- Anthropic’s new open-source AI auditing tool.
By Matt FosterResearchers from DeepMind have described a new approach for teaching intelligent agents to solve complex, long-term tasks by training them exclusively on video footage rather than through direct interaction with the environment. Their new agent, called Dreamer 4, demonstrated the ability to mine diamonds playing Minecraft after being trained on videos, without ever actually playing the game.
By Sergio De SimoneUber has updated its CacheFront architecture to handle over 150 million reads per second. The new design improves consistency and reduces stale reads by integrating Flux for MySQL binlog tailing, enhancing the storage engine, and introducing Cache Inspector for monitoring and optimization.
