Scaling self-verification with DeepSeek V4 Flash beats Claude Fable 5 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, while being 11x cheaper 💰As open-source models become more capable, they can now generate large numbers of high-quality candidate solutions and verify their own outputs at very low… https://t.co/as2HtyHzzW pic.twitter.com/XzVBgr5JPz— Jacky Kwok (@jackyk02) August 17, 2026

I told y’all this is the move. Heterogenous hardware is the way forward. Large cheap pools of mixed memory + specialized accelerators (Nvidia GPUs, DGX Spark, Cerebras wafers) The next year will be dominated by solutions that split the stack. - 3000$ for a used Mac Studio… https://t.co/zMlScSnJ0X— 0xSero (@0xSero) April 1, 2026

7.0.0
Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 7.0.0. The most significant changes since 6.0.0 are faster installations and upgrades, stronger sandboxing, a native macOS app, built-in vulnerability checks and an advisory database, the end of macOS 10.15 support and Intel Macs moving to Tier 3.

OpenAI’s Jalapeño chip is built for fast inference at scale, benchmarks show | TechCrunch
Tested on SemiAnalysis’ InferenceX benchmark, Jalapeño registered both more tokens per user and more throughput per kilowatt than the currently available state-of-the art.

was skeptical but gave it a shot because @karpathyanyways 2x kernel perf (fp4 matmul)3 minutes of work (1 prompt)triton beat cutlass (?!) https://t.co/HGIpP4OoNG pic.twitter.com/N9KHrDsFz2— ali (@waterloo_intern) March 11, 2026

For dual DGX spark users; GLM 5.3 flash got a 50%+ performance boost
For the last few months, I ran DeepSeek v4.0 flash (NVFP4). First 0731, then visionexp because it was a free improvement. I got around 65 tps decode…

Faster double-to-string conversion
There comes a time in every software engineer’s life when they come up with a new binary-to-decimal floating-point conversion method. I guess my time has come. I just wrote one, mostly over a weekend: https://github.com/vitaut/zmij.
