Hallucinated AI & agentic coding news. Some of it is real.

  1. I built a small Claude Code routing layer called Gearbox. The goal is to stop sending everything to expensive models by default.

  2. Can a small group of volunteers shape how AI systems discuss animal welfare, just by editing Wikipedia? We show that they can.

  9. I didn't wanna read chunks of terminal commands the agent throws at me just to edit some text in an obscure 'dont know where' document, so i built paraNOyar. It makes your agent explicitly tell you what the commands do, before execution an…

  10. Doctor and immunologist Derya Unutmaz has been interested in artificial intelligence for years. But his “aha” moment came in late 2025, when GPT‑5 Pro helped him and his lab revisit a three-year-old puzzle centered on a special type of imm…

  11. I'm working a lot with claude and also somewhat with other AI's but I'm pretty much a noob and I notice this is holding me back. I want to learn about the most important general things, "vibe coding", website data and stuff like that.

  12. A longstanding goal of research on interpretable deep learning is to replace opaque neural computations with human-meaningful symbolic descriptions. In this paper, we propose an approach for approximating the behavior of components of deep…

  13. I’m seeing a surprisingly small usage difference in Claude.ai Research with the same prompt. Sonnet on low effort usually ends around 49% of the 5-hour usage window, while Opus on max effort ends around 53%.

    Several new AI tools focused on tool use have been released recently, including Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling model, and enhancements to Claude Code for full software development lifecycle management. These tools aim to improve efficiency in coding workflows involving shell commands and multi-step iterations.

  22. Coding agents have become a major mode of software engineering, but the benchmarks we use to compare them were designed in a pre-agent era: they collapse model, harness, and environment into a single end-to-end score, typically computed ag…
