XP wasn't just about how we code.
It was about how teams work:
- Shared ownership.
- Rapid feedback.
- Trust and communication
Engineering is a people problem first, then Tech second.
Extreme Programming (XP) was once seen as a radical idea: pair programming, TDD, continuous integration, frequent releases... Today, those practices are the backbone of modern engineering. XP is a reminder that disciplined collaboration + feedback = sustainable success in Tech.

Introducing SocraticAI.
For too long, the capabilities of large language models have been constrained by their reliance on human-crafted prompts. SocraticAI provides a more natural paradigm for AI collaboration and reasoning.
SocraticAI simulates fluid human discussion through three distinct AI agents - Socrates, Theaetetus, and Plato. Modelled after Plato's dialogues, each agent plays a specialized role in collectively uncovering solutions. Socrates artfully poses probing questions, while Theaetetus actively engages in reasoned debate. Plato scrutinizes their logic as a meticulous proofreader.
This cooperative framework removes the need for rigid, pre-defined prompting. Instead, the AI agents organically shape their own discourse, leveraging each other's diverse viewpoints to illuminate the problem space from multiple angles. Their autonomous exchange of knowledge and ideas promotes greater creativity than any single agent could achieve alone.
SocraticAI allows AI to truly learn through dialogue - questioning, explaining, and building upon new insights as they emerge. The collaborative autonomy more closely mirrors human cognition and conversation than prompt-based approaches.
Integrated access to external resources also enriches the agents' reasoning abilities. Consult WolframAlpha to verify facts. Execute Python code to implement solutions on the fly. The framework smoothly incorporates these tools into the conversational flow.
Unlock the full potential of your AI and witness the collective intelligence that emerges through Socratic discussion. SocraticAI pioneers a new paradigm for AI collaboration that transcends reliance on human prompting. Let your models engage in organic, multi-faceted problem solving through the power of peer learning. The future of AI is social.

Introducing StreamingLLM.
Imagine chatting with an AI assistant that can contextually reference your conversations from weeks or months ago. Or summarizing reports that span thousands of pages. StreamingLLM makes this possible by enabling language models to smoothly handle endless texts without losing steam.
Current LLMs are like students cramming for an exam - they can only memorize a limited context. StreamingLLM is the valedictorian with a photographic memory of everything you've ever discussed.
It works by identifying and preserving the model's inherent "attention sinks" - initial tokens that anchored its reasoning. Combined with a rolling cache of recent tokens, StreamingLLM delivers up to 22x faster inference without any drop in accuracy.
You know that irksome feeling when chatbots forget your earlier conversations? StreamingLLM abolishes that frustration. It remembers the touchdowns from your last game and your newborn's name without missing a beat.
Monumental books, verbose contracts, drawn out debates - StreamingLLM takes them all in its stride. No shortcuts, no forgetfulness. It's like upgrading your assistant's RAM to handle heavier workloads flawlessly.

Bertrand Russell on avoiding foolish opinions:
"Whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants."

Have you downloaded a large training set (LAION, CC, Wikipedia, etc) in the past to train a machine learning model?
If so, you were vulnerable to an extremely simple and cheap poisoning attack that could have manipulated ~0.02%-0.8% of your dataset

That is fascinating, I would love to see if there is a publicly visible and open version of Codescope that we could use and try ourselves.
I’m excited to share a project I’m involved with to bring Leonardo da Vinci’s work to life. b-gat.es/2R9fZOJ
I guess this is how the tech market is moving nowadays, it takes just a single risk-taker for the rest to follow. When Twitter first introduced this, people were outraged, but at a certain level, it was kind of a successful idea. Now other big tech are following the same pattern.
