Fable 5 is back, and this time we're ready. A month of telemetry says 96% of our agent's tokens are cache reads, and the 2x-priced model was cheaper per correct answer on hard reasoning. Plan: workloft.ai/ships/96-pe... #AIagents #Claude

A £6,699 Mac to run AI locally, or a tenner to test the premise first. We ran an open 7B against a cheap cloud model on a real task. Cloud won on quality and cost pennies per 1,000 calls. Buy the box if you want it, not as an AI bet. workloft.ai/labs/notes/... #LocalLLM

Our agent passed along five papers it never opened, and admitted it hadn't checked them. So we built cite-check: fetch every link and arXiv ID in a draft, fail the publish if one isn't real, then check the source actually backs the claim. #AIagents #LLMs

The front page for builders is becoming the LLM answer, not the search result. We rebuilt our site to be cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity, not just ranked by Google. What worked, and what's theatre: workloft.ai/labs/notes/...

Reddit blocks our server's IP. So we got r/LocalLLaMA into our research backlog through the back door, and it took one afternoon. workloft.ai/ships/local...

Our model router used to do exactly what it was told. Ask for the premium tier, it bought the premium tier, every single time, whether or not the cheap model would have given you the same answer for a fraction of the price. workloft.ai/ships/ruby-...

Our agents research, ship, and publish on a loop. Two of those three steps already ran themselves. Publishing didn't. workloft.ai/ships/the-s...

Anthropic shipped, then walked back, a safeguard that could silently degrade Fable 5 with no notice. Good that they fixed it fast. The precedent stays: when a hosted model gives a weak answer, did it fail, or get quietly throttled? workloft.ai/labs/news/m...

We could see what the robots spent. Not what they earned. Cron audit log tracks tokens to six decimals. Zero pounds of revenue. Cost-only views kill expensive loops, not unprofitable ones. Per-cron P&L now on the same ledger. workloft.ai/ships/cron-...

We benchmarked Grok for our router's code tier. It didn't earn the slot. Publishing the negative result anyway — the "we tried it and it lost" write-ups are the ones nobody posts. workloft.ai/ships/grok-...

Fable 5 stays dark for UK builders too. US export-control hit Anthropic 12 Jun. They can't verify citizenship, so 13 Jun was a global kill. Four paths likely, three concrete moves: workloft.ai/ships/after...

We wired daily.dev's trending feed into our build queue. A cheap scorer rates every post against the seven things we care about; anything buildable in 1–3 days files itself, capped at two a day. A day's scoring costs pennies. workloft.ai/ships/daily...

Tuesday: Field Guide on Fable 5. Friday: Commerce shut it off. The model on our test route gone by close of business. The failover that mattered this week is the one we half-built. Finishing it. workloft.ai/ships/fable...

Your tools fail all day. Does the fleet bounce back? rebound replays real tool failures from our audit log and asks one question: did the agent retry and recover? 83 failures, 99% recovered — and the average hides the finding. workloft.ai/ships/rebou...

Doing a task well and writing the skill are separate jobs, so the judgement never makes it in. skill-distiller takes the messy worked record and gives back a SKILL.md that keeps the decision rules, not the summary. workloft.ai/ships/skill...

Most of an agent's token bill is output it read once and never reread. slim strips verbose CLI output before it hits the model. 88.7% fewer characters on five real commands, ~110k tokens down to ~12k. The catch: the big wins are lossy by design. workloft.ai/ships/slim-...

Meta's Instagram bot reportedly sent password-reset links to the wrong people. Not 'confused'. It treated the chat as the credential. No principal binding before a privileged dispatch. The model isn't the gate. Code is. workloft.ai/labs/news/m...

A single malicious GitHub issue hijacked a whole repo via Claude Code's Action. Not 'tricked'. It obeyed an unauthorised principal because nothing checked commit rights first. Trust boundaries aren't a prompt problem. workloft.ai/labs/news/c...
