HOW I USE AI

AI coding requires a mindset shift, emphasizing ownership of AI-generated code and exploiting opportunities for maximum efficiency. Success lies in treating AI coding like management, focusing on creating and leveraging productive gradients where minimal effort yields significant rewards. Junior engineers might have an advantage over seniors in adapting to this new role, as embracing AI demands stepping out of comfort zones and fostering a strong sense of responsibility.

TOOL CALLS ARE EXPENSIVE AND FINITE

Tool calling is many orders of magnitude more costly than calling a plain old function from code. People should design their agentic systems according to the limit on how many tool calls their agents can effectively make. Using a tool call to add two numbers once probably doesn't matter, but scaling the problem up to 1,000 numbers will require a long wait and may exceed context window limits. Calling a function many times in a loop is one of the most common ways to solve a problem with code.

LMARENA HAS SOME COMPETITION: SCALE AI LAUNCHES SEAL SHOWDOWN, A NEW BENCHMARKING TOOL

Seal Showdown is a new benchmarking tool that allows users to test various AI models head-to-head and vote on which one performs better. Unlike LMArena, it captures real preferences to more closely reflect how everyday users feel about various models. Rankings are derived from conversations on Scale's Outlier platform, so each user's country, education level, profession, language, and age can be verified. This allows the platform to show which models are most popular according to specific regions, languages, ages, and use cases.

DEEPMIND AI SAFETY REPORT EXPLORES THE PERILS OF “MISALIGNED” AI

DeepMind recently released the third version of its Frontier Safety Framework, which explores how generative AI systems can become threats. The safety framework details critical capability levels for assessing AI models that define the points at which behavior becomes dangerous. It also discusses ways for developers to address these risks. Misaligned AIs may ignore human instructions, produce fraudulent outputs, or refuse to stop operating when requested. For now, developers can prevent this by monitoring AI's chain of thought outputs, but future models may hide their reasoning, making it impossible to determine with certainty that a model is working against the interests of its human operator.
