We're in the jQuery era of AI. Who'll be the React of agents?
May 27, 2026
Agent harnesses today look like jQuery in 2006: pragmatic abstractions over a primitive whose surface keeps expanding. Nobody has built the React of agents yet.
Memory is the bottleneck for self-driving agents
May 8, 2026
Self-driving agents are bottlenecked by memory architecture, not autonomy. Forkability is the missing property - and the design that delivers it.
Why 10 million tokens is the only memory benchmark that matters
Apr 2, 2026
Hindsight is #1 on BEAM at the 10M token tier. At that scale, context-stuffing dies and only real memory architecture survives.
That's not how you do business
Mar 24, 2026
Supermemory gamed a memory benchmark for viral reach, then called it a social experiment. Why stunts erode trust and what real benchmarking looks like.
Open source is a trust system. AI is breaking the contract.
Mar 16, 2026
AI lets people contribute to open source without understanding what they change. The OSS trust model needs human attestation, not just AI disclosure.
