UNDERSTANDING LLMS: INSIGHTS FROM MECHANISTIC INTERPRETABILITY

This post walks readers through in detail how large language models (LLMs) work. Transformer-based LLMs are autoregressive next-token predictors. Simple analogies like 'it's just statistics' are inadequate explanations of how LLMs work. LLMs perform tasks by forming emerging circuits that combine learned statistics, information-moving attention heads, and knowledge storing MLP sub-layers into specialized sub-networks that collectively execute complex behaviors.

AGENTHOPPER: AN AI VIRUS

AgentHopper is a prompt injection payload that operates across agents. It was created to demonstrate that conditional prompt injection can be leveraged as a powerful mechanism to target specific agents. AI-driven malware and prompt payloads will likely become more prevalent in the near future. AgentHopper is a good reminder to ensure branch protection is on and to add a passphrase to keys to prevent malware from automatically pushing changes.

THE PARALLELISM MESH ZOO

There are many parallelization strategies available for scaling training runs to work on more GPUs. This post discusses parallelization strategies in a more schematic way by focusing only on how they affect the device mesh. The device mesh is an abstraction used by PyTorch and JAX that takes GPUs and organizes them into an N-D tensor that expresses how the devices communicate with each other. Being able to explain why a device mesh is set up the way it is is a good check for whether you understand how the parallelization strategy works.

CONTEXT ENGINEERING SERIES EXPLORES BUILDING BETTER AGENTIC RAG SYSTEMS

Coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor “context engineer” by designing tool portfolios, slash commands, and subagent architectures to let AI systems discover the information they need to perform best. Structured tool responses aren't just applicable for coding tools. The same interaction patterns can be applied across industries, but require greater focus on avoiding “context pollution,” where misleading or irrelevant information degrades capabilities.
