Pull requests to the Public Suffix List have already doubled this year. Most get closed without a merge. The PSL is the volunteer-maintained file browsers use to keep cookies apart. @joelhans.com dug into who keeps it running, and why nobody can replace it. ngrok.com/blog/public-...

Highly recommended blog and video by @anniesexton.com about the relation between compression algorithms and large language model token prediction. -> ngrok.com/blog/compres...

I made a video about the compression article, it has animations, go watch it and admire my sick new studio.

The best compressors are... LLMs? Compression and language modeling share a job: predicting what comes next. @anniesexton.com shows how those predictions become fewer bits, and why gzip still gets to keep its all-important job. ↓ www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkUy...

This post from Sam Rose is absolutely fantastic! 💙 A real deep dive into Kubernetes probe with amazing interactive demos, advice and even a bug discovered in Kubernetes! 🤯 ngrok.com/blog/probes

Phenomenal article from @samwho.dev at @ngrok.com on #kubernetes probes ngrok.com/blog/probes With interactive visualizations! Really nicely done. I learned a ton.

Impossible to overstate how much of my soul is imbued into this post. I wanted to push the boundaries of the web as an education platform. Why _shouldn’t_ we run Kubernetes in the browser to demonstrate for-real what happens, and let you influence it? Hope you love it. 🫶

One of the best explained and clearly written pieces I've read in a long time. Love the interactive examples. Very cool. Nice one @anniesexton.com !

This is the coolest article I've ever written. Genuinely. All of you should read it.

You should be able to send inference: → to any public provider → privately to models you self-host → to any number of fallbacks → with full access control and observability built in ngrok.ai is live on Product Hunt today ↓ www.producthunt.com/products/ngr...

💡 Tuesday tech tip: At our free & virtual #P99CONF, @ngrok.com's Sam Rose will dive into the mathematical process applied to models to make them smaller and introduce our audience to tools that gauge how much a quantized model differs from its original. www.p99conf.io?latest_sfdc_... #ScyllaDB

Validating JWTs, restricting IPs, and running a WAF on your ngrok endpoints just got 10x cheaper. Traffic Policy is now $0.10 per 100k TPUs, down from $1. OAuth didn't get cheaper. It was already free. ↓ ngrok.com/blog/pricing...

I promise this is my last post this week sharing work stuff but we’ve condensed a bunch of new stuff @ngrok.com can do into a 6 and a half minute video! This is for the folks that know how to run `ngrok http 8080` but haven’t ventured further into the product than that. 🫶 youtu.be/trXqyNXJa1k?...

Yes, ngrok gives localhost a public URL. It's also load-bearing production infrastructure. Reach into customer networks. Put every bit of ingress behind one front door. Run one gateway for devices, APIs, and LLMs. Here's what ngrok really is today ↓ www.youtube.com/watch?v=trXq...

Inviting controversy with this take, which is outside of my comfort zone, but I do stand by it. You can generate good quality code with LLMs, it “just” requires a tonne of human oversight and automated guard rails. Got a week off then I’ll be building my first proper post with webernetes. Stoked.

Expose local apps and APIs to the internet with your coding agent and our new `expose-localhost` skill. Then ask it to add in OAuth, OWASP protection, rate limits, and more if you're feeling plucky. $ npx skills add ngrok/agent-skills github.com/ngrok/agent-...

Quantization can make an LLM 4x smaller and 2x faster, with barely any quality loss. But what *is* it? @samwho.dev crafted a beautiful interactive essay explaining it from first principles, aimed at coders, not mathematicians. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...

Route between OpenAI and Anthropic with one API key without an account for either. ngrok's AI Gateway now has its own API keys and prepaid credits. One key covers both, and you can just set your model to "ngrok/auto" if you don't even want to pick. ngrok.com/blog/ai-gate...

ngrok's AI gateway now supports the Anthropic SDK natively. Change your base_url, keep your prompt caching, extended thinking, all of it. The diff is one line & there's no step two. ngrok.com/blog/native-...

What do LLMs see? I wrote a lil' tool that extracts the attention matrices out of open models and creates this typing visual, with each token's opacity changing according to its average attention score as the prompt progresses. Dimmer words are considered less important to the model.

This week on Overcommitted, we got to sit down with Bluesky's favorite tech blogger @samwho.dev and it did not disappoint! Sam makes some of the coolest tech content on the internet, and if you haven't heard from him yet, you should! Full episode out now: overcommitted.dev/interactive-...

We're hiring a full-time video creator. Looking for someone who always aims for quality above cadence, is eager to deep-dive on AI and networking, wants to be part of a small and taste-obsessed team. Details: job-boards.greenhouse.io/ngrokinc/job...

Did you know that SWE-bench only tests how good models are at Python? Or the big drama around the FrontierMath benchmark? We didn't either! But now you will, because @samwho.dev put together an extensive explanation of 14 popular AI benchmarks. ngrok.com/blog/ai-benc...

A favorite beat on the new ngrok.com: We put ngrok on top of ngrok.com so you can ngrok while you learn about ngrok. If we're going to ask you to use us for anything, we better do it ourselves first, in prod, and also show our work.
