HOW WE BUILT THE NEW FASTEST API FOR GLM-5.2

Baseten's API for GLM-5.2 has peak speeds of 280 tokens per second and average speeds of around 100 tokens per second. It has more than double the performance of the launch-day API. The company has also built a Fast version of the API, which is focused on reducing latency for coding and agents. It plans to roll out another improvement to its speculative decoding algorithm soon that will further optimize the performance of GLM-5.2.

WE HAVE PROOF AUTOMATION NOW

The problem with great type-system power is that it requires great proof effort. Doing proofs can be fun, but they take a lot of time. It can take hours of effort to discover that what you were trying to prove was false. This overhead has made programming in dependently typed languages extremely niche. It has also spurred people to try and automate it away. LLMs promise to be an extremely capable form of proof automation.

PROMPT CACHING IN AGENTS

Prompt caching makes agents more economic, but this is quite fragile. A changed tool definition, a model switch, or a provider routing decision can turn a cheap incremental request into a full replay of the context. Cache behavior affects latency, cost, tool design, session design, and even which product features should be made available. This post looks at what the cache is, how it works, and common reasons for worse cache performance.

THE NEW RULES OF CONTEXT ENGINEERING FOR CLAUDE 5 GENERATION MODELS

Claude 5 models now prioritize judgment over strict rule-based context engineering, with prompts shifting from rigid guidelines to adaptable strategies. Progressive disclosure helps optimize context usage by loading necessary information on demand, while simple tool descriptions replace repetitive instructions. Claude auto-saves relevant memories and utilizes rich references like HTML artifacts for handling complex tasks.

BRUTE INTELLIGENCE

AI agents can work through loops to complete complex tasks. Domains that work around problems with verifiable answers are susceptible to these kinds of loops. This is a new form of brute force. It is like having a million scientists working in a million labs, all taking swings at the same thing. While AI may not be smarter than humans, it is faster. Being fast enough might make up for the difference in intelligence.

AMAZON IS REDESIGNING PRIME VIDEO WITH MORE AI, BUT WILL IT FIX WHAT FRUSTRATES VIEWERS?

Amazon is overhauling Prime Video's home screen through an internal project called Lighthouse, personally driven by Jeff Bezos, replacing the static tile grid with AI-generated, personalized recommendations. The redesign follows a tense meeting last fall where Bezos pushed executives to lean harder into AI. It remains unclear whether AI-driven rankings will genuinely reduce paid placement bias or simply shift it into the algorithm, leaving real benefits to viewers uncertain until testing expands beyond the current small user group.

IOS 27'S NEW SIRI DELIVERS IN EVERY SINGLE WAY I'D HOPED FOR

iOS 27 introduces a major AI-powered Siri upgrade that addresses three key weaknesses: world knowledge, conversational interactions, and consistency across Apple devices. Siri can now answer broad questions, maintain conversations with follow-ups and chat history, and provide the same capabilities across iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, iPad, and, eventually, Apple TV and HomePod. Deep integration with Apple apps also enables personalized assistance based on messages, notes, and email, potentially giving Siri a significant advantage for everyday Apple users.

A SIDE PROJECT IS THE FASTEST WAY TO UPSKILL IN THE AGE OF AI

Building small side projects is one of the fastest ways for UX professionals to learn how AI is changing software development, with tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor dramatically lowering the technical, time, and cost barriers to creating real products. Rather than relying on highly abstracted tools like Lovable, working closer to the actual development process—doing discovery and design, learning concepts such as version control, and asking AI to explain unfamiliar technology—builds much deeper practical knowledge. The key is to build with AI rather than have AI build everything for you, gaining technical fluency and end-to-end product-building skills through hands-on experience.

WORKING BACKWARDS

A visit to an art school studio shows how painting habits mirror the judgment senior designers build over time. Design differs from art in serving someone else's outcome, yet deliberate practice—training the eye as art students do—builds taste no tool can replace. As prompts turn ideas into finished apps within days, skipping the slow, layer-by-layer deconstruction that art students practice may cost designers the deeper judgment such practice builds.

LEARNING BEFORE LEVERAGE

A design team's rollout of Claude Code in February revealed pressure to appear competent before actually mastering the tool, echoing a similar pattern at Slack. Drawing on researchers and practitioners, the piece argues AI adoption should be treated as reversible experimentation built on candor, shared vocabulary, and coordinated workflow changes across design and engineering. Survey data showing most designers feel overwhelmed and pressured to do more underscores the case for making uncertainty visible rather than hidden.

WHY I DON'T USE INTERRUPTION PAGES

A UX reviewer argues against using interruption pages, a GOV.UK Design System pattern meant to pause users with warnings mid-journey. Interruption pages offer multiple actions, use unconventional button labels, and look like dismissible banners rather than part of the form flow. A standard question with radio buttons is recommended instead, since it forces conscious decisions without needing a visually distinct screen.

AI ENGINEERING PRODUCTIVITY IS ANYTHING BUT NORMAL

An AI IDE can make engineers ship faster. That does not mean the team is getting better. NVIDIA saw 3x more committed code across 30,000 developers without more bugs, but the companies closest to that result had rebuilt the workflow around GitHub, Linear, review, and testing. Another dataset is the warning: epics finished 66% faster while bugs per developer rose 54%. If your AI dashboard only shows pull requests, it is probably hiding half the story.

WHY SOFTWARE FACTORIES FAIL

A software factory is a coding pipeline where agents take a spec and return working code with little or no human review. The pitch borrows from lights-out manufacturing: the line runs while nobody is on the floor. HumanLayer tried it in July 2025. Three months later, a production bug dropped the team into code nobody had been reading, and the cofounder spent two weeks rewriting the core patterns. Agents can run the line. Someone still has to understand the factory well enough to know when it is drifting.

OBLITERATE, DON'T AUTOMATE

Duolingo did not sell better software to schools. Coinbase did not sell better ledgers to banks. Both moved something the gatekeeper controlled directly to the customer. AI founders now face the same choice. An AI doctor that can prescribe changes the market more than software that helps a doctor type notes. Software that runs a factory changes more than a dashboard sold to its manager. If your customer still needs the same gatekeeper after buying the product, you may be making the old market faster rather than building a new one.

THE ULTIMATE PAYWALL & ONBOARDING PLAYBOOK

Most founders cut onboarding. Cal AI made users do more of it, then built a multimillion-dollar subscription business. Before the price appeared, users entered their goals, body type, habits, and timeline, then watched the app assemble a plan. By the time they saw the paywall, it felt less like buying another calorie tracker and more like walking away from a plan made for them. That only works when the pain is real: every question must sharpen the product or increase commitment.

THE B2B STANDARD

What does a healthy B2B pipeline actually look like? One founder with real revenue and Fortune 500 customers discovered that most of his pipeline was fake. This is the scorecard he wished he had. For a $100K+ product, each seller should book three first meetings a week. 60% should show real buying behavior, half of those should close within 90 days, and 95% of customers should reach the first retention milestone within a month. You can disagree with the numbers. At least they are hard to explain away.

THE AUTONOMOUS MIDDLE

After reviewing 15 of her own agent sessions, NextView's Melody Koh found that the agent was not wasting her time on the work. It was wasting it on corrections. The same mistakes kept returning because she had never told the model what "good" meant for quality or positioning. Her fix was to make those judgment calls upfront, let the agent handle the checkable middle, and review once at the end. If you correct the same mistake twice, it belongs in the instructions.

BUNDLING & UNBUNDLING CAPABILITIES (AND AI)

A junior engineer does not become senior by doing senior work. They get there by doing the routine work first: reading the codebase, seeing exceptions, and learning what "good" looks like. Coding agents can remove that apprenticeship while making output look better in the short term. The useful question is not "which jobs can AI replace?" It is "which capabilities disappear with the task?" Before automating work, ask whether it was also building context, taste, or the person who would catch the weird case later.

THE CREATOR ECONOMY HAS A NEW MIDDLE CLASS

Microinfluencers have become a more cost-effective advertising channel because loyal niche audiences often deliver stronger engagement at a lower price than large creators. Microinfluencers average a 3.2% engagement rate versus 1.1% for macroinfluencers. Brands now hire many smaller creators instead of a few large ones to get better returns from the same budget. The creator economy has grown to a projected $33B in 2025 as affiliate links, brand deals, and storefronts give creators multiple ways to earn revenue.
