AI Hacking: What The Evidence Actually Shows
September 25, 2026 · 34 minA headline-grabbing 'rogue AI hacks Hugging Face' story turns out to be a documented case of a model cheating at a test with its safety features switched off - and that reality is more instructive than the myth. We separate a real…

Local AI Models, Are They The Future?
September 5, 2026 · 22 minSmall local models can now answer most everyday AI queries, but the real efficiency win comes from routing between device and cloud rather than local hardware winning outright. We dig into a large-scale study measuring intelligence per…

How Claude Skills Actually Work
August 28, 2026 · 19 minAnthropic's Agent Skills sound like a powerful new AI capability, but the reality is far more low-tech: a folder of Markdown that teaches Claude a workflow once so you stop re-explaining it. We unpack how skills actually work — the folder…

How Claude's Invisible Watermark Actually Works
August 17, 2026 · 17 minAnthropic has started watermarking Claude's text to satisfy an EU rule that took effect in August 2026, but the word 'watermark' oversells it. There's no hidden stamp and no identity attached: it's a subtle statistical nudge in how Claude…
