The following article originally appeared on Wes McKinney’s blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission. Like a lot of people, I’ve found that AI is terrible for my sleep schedule. In the past I’d wake up briefly at 4:00 or 4:30 in the morning to have a sip of water or use […]
For the past two years, I’ve been working with economist Ilan Strauss at the AI Disclosures Project. We started out by asking what regulators would need to know to ensure the safety of AI products that touch hundreds of millions of people. We are now exploring the missing mechanisms that are needed to enable the […]
Last month I added a feature I call beats to this blog, pulling in some of my other content from external sources and including it on the homepage, search and various archive pages on the site. On any given day these frequently outnumber my regular posts. They were looking a little bit thin and were lacking any form of explanation beyond a link, so I've added the ability to annotate them with a "note" which now shows up as part of their display. Here's what that looks like for the content I…
Research: Starlette 1.0 skill See Experimenting with Starlette 1.0 with Claude skills. Tags: starlette
Starlette 1.0 is out! This is a really big deal. I think Starlette may be the Python framework with the most usage compared to its relatively low brand recognition because Starlette is the foundation of FastAPI, which has attracted a huge amount of buzz that seems to have overshadowed Starlette itself. Kim Christie started working on Starlette in 2018 and it quickly became my favorite out of the new breed of Python ASGI frameworks. The only reason I didn't use it as the basis for my own…

The Federal AI Policy Framework has been released.
Not that long ago, we were resigned to the idea that humans would need to inspect every line of AI-generated code. We’d do it personally, code reviews would always be part of a serious software practice, and the ability to read and review code would become an even more important part of a developer’s skillset. […]
The AI Doc: Buy tickets and spread the word! On Thursday, March 26th, a major new AI documentary is coming out: The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist. Tickets are on sale now. The movie is excellent, and we generally believe it belongs in the same tier as If Anyone Builds It, Everyone […] The post MIRI Newsletter #125 appeared first on Machine Intelligence Research Institute.
A lot happened, but by today’s standards this felt like a quiet week.
This is the second article in a series on agentic engineering and AI-driven development. Read part one here, and look for the next article on April 2 on O’Reilly Radar. The first 90 percent of the code accounts for the first 90 percent of the development time. The remaining 10 percent of the code accounts […]
If world leaders agree to halt or limit AI development, they will need to verify that other nations are keeping their commitments. To this end, it helps to know where AI chips are, how they’re used, and what the AIs trained on them can do. In this post, we informally summarize “Mechanisms to Verify International […] The post Summary: Mechanisms to Verify International Agreements about AI Development appeared first on Machine Intelligence Research Institute.
