I sing in @beata.band We just released a new song called ”Circles” today. WDYT? open.spotify.com/album/3Vhmz3...

Interesting moment yesterday: smoke from the sauna stove leaked into my home studio. Asked my AI assistant to check the AirGradient sensor in Home Assistant, and it told me to leave until air quality improved, then wrote a script polling particulate levels, pinging me on Telegram once safe.

The AI architect and the engineer in my setup never share a context window. New post on the protocol that lets them work together anyway: a self-contained handoff comment in Linear, ADRs for anything durable, and a status field that says whose move it is. samihonkonen.com/posts/how-th...

The architect/engineer split from my last post became a CLI. eng (short for engineer) dispatches tasks to worktrees on an always-on Mac Studio, one engine costs the same as before, the other runs a local model for free. My laptop stopped heating up. samihonkonen.com/posts/the-en...

Running two AI models is cheaper than running one good one. A frontier model as architect, a cheaper one as engineer. New post on how I set this up and where it's heading. samihonkonen.com/posts/two-mo...

Smaller models forget system prompt instructions. What if we attach instructions to specific tools and deliver them the moment the model tries to use them? I call this guidance injection. samihonkonen.com/posts/guidan...

I've been building a capability library for my AI agents. A global index, docs that agents read on demand, maintained with AI. Hopefully, over time, it will compound. samihonkonen.com/posts/an-age...

there is a exe.dev iOS app now. it’s my favorite way to program.

I had a Mac Studio mostly sitting idle, so I started leaving it on and running a local LLM on it. Now I've got a small collection of purpose-built AI agents on disk, each shaped to a specific job, with the data staying on my own machines. New post:

My first self-hosted server lived on zort.org in the early days of the internet. Letting that domain go is one of my more lasting regrets. exe.dev brings back the feeling, but sadly not the domain. New blog: samihonkonen.com/posts/a-love...

@tangled.org has a real opportunity here 👀

Installing 500-series signal processors still has the same feel as installing RAM chips to your PC 25 years ago. What's not to love ❤️

Today I saw a woman reading a research paper in a cafe. I mean a real, printed paper. No LLM, nothing. It wasn't a summary, it was an actual, long research paper. And she was just reading it raw. Like a psychopath.

today, we're announcing our €3,8M ($4.5M) seed financing round, led by byFounders with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Antler, Thomas Dohmke (former CEO of GitHub), Avery Pennarun (CEO of Tailscale) among other incredible angels. read more on what's next: blog.tangled.org/seed
