Anthropic has had a Head of Developer Relations role open for the last 4 months, despite offering $385-460k salary dx.tips/devrel-is-back This is my attempt to explain why, after kind of dying out last year, DevRel is So Back, thanks to prompting from @phillvdm.bsky.social and @pedramnavid.com

accidentally caused Nano Banana's system prompt to leak, but in a fun way

Host of Latent Space and AI engineering master @swyx.io is joining us at Sync Conf 2025. Tastemaker, product builder, and voice behind AI Engineering Summit.

Following on with more info for @swyx.io @mackuba.eu maintains sdk.blue The ATProto Touchers Discord discord.atprotocol.dev is great for all the newest launches & troubleshooting. Soon @slices.network will be a couple of clicks to make a new backend & aggregator for ATProto data.

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

We're excited to announce React Conf's first AI-related talk: a discussion panel with @vjeux.bsky.social @kentcdodds.com @swyx.io @t3.gg moderated by @leerob.com

@swyx.io useful steps for producing AI news and more generally for AI intensive applications. AI Engineer World's Fair 2025 - Day 1 Keynotes & MCP track ft. Anthropic MCP team - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4zX...

Spoke with @swyx.io about the evolving role of the AI Engineer for @redmonk.com's MonkCast. We discuss the definition of an AI Engineer, differences between AI Engineers & traditional software devs, vibe coding, frontend observability, & the AI Engineer World's Fair. redmonk.com/blog/2025/07...

Old but gold from @swyx.io. It's essential reading for developer advocates. www.swyx.io/measuring-de...

this is from @swyx.io in announcing that he’s joining Cognition/Windsurf it’s really good. goes into detail on model labs vs agent labs, sync vs async agents, and a whole lot more www.swyx.io/cognition

i went on @latent.space and chatted with @swyx.io about s1, entropix, and reasoning models does this make me a podcasting bro? www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLxF...

Interesting post about this from @swyx.io and crew: www.latent.space/p/why-mcp-won It seems like the next step up from llmstxt.org I think the usefulness really depends on if you want repeatable output from your LLM or if you use the LLM to build repeatable process (like terraform for config).

Fascinating to hear evolution of behavioural engineering in the context of generative AI models. Always useful to hear what @swyx.io is up to and their views. The Agent Reasoning Interface: o1/o3, Claude 3, ChatGPT Canvas, Tasks, and Operator —with Karina Nguyen of #OpenAI www.latent.space/p/karina

The @swyx.io talk from the NeurIPS Infer Vancouver is now live! He shares an overview of the state of AI engineering, gives a demo of realtime AI APIs, and answers folks’ burning questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx_0...

hey hi hello how are you holding up

github.com/r002/r002.gi... PS. I'm also a huge fan of artifacts (Seth even blogged ab this today! (seths.blog/2025/01/the-...) For me, I ❤ leaving a "learning exhaust" (h/t: @swyx.io) of screenshots whenever I build things. Later, you can then look back on them all to see how far you've traveled.

2 pieces of content on the topic of LLM powered agents that I'd recommend: - The latest Latent Space episode by @swyx.io with @simon.fedi.simonwillison.net.ap.brid.gy - highly recommend! - The GoEX research paper. Late to the party on this one but the contents of it is more and more relevant today

@swyx.io pitched the "React distro" thesis a few years ago: www.swyx.io/react-distros I think it's a reasonable take / mindset. The issue is that the React team has effectively stopped supporting the way half the ecosystem uses React, docs/guidance-wise.

If you want to start 2025 feeling up to date on all the AI trends (without any BS) watch this video (from @swyx.io ): www.youtube.com/watch?v=26PV... 2 hours packed with info and ideas. No fluff. Just watch it.

React knows which component instance it's rendering based on the current Fiber instance. That gets saved as a module-scoped variable in the hooks impl file, and the hook functions iterate through the list of hooks in a field on that Fiber. See @swyx.io 's "build hooks" talk: www.swyx.io/hooks

Our picks of the top ~50 papers for AI Engineers to read from scratch to competent in 2025: latent.space/p/2025-papers Feedback welcome/enjoy!

ok what the fuck all the talent is here but not evenly distributed youtu.be/djzKCZHeVjY?...

hi friends, our handle is now @latent.space! so nice that @substack supports bluesky! we'll be looking to publish more here going forward. automation tools and ideas for content u like to see welcome

the smol.ai newsletter is truly a godsend (thanks @swyx.io) with all of the model releases this week, neurips, and discord chats popping off, having a single place to start from really helps highly recommend.

Oh man, writing up the Cerebras paper on Weight Streaming was a rabbit hole filled with parallel algorithms. learning-exhaust.hashnode.dev/one-thing-i-... @picocreator.bsky.social @eugeneyan.com @swyx.io @latentspacepod.bsky.social

The Rise of the AI Engineer. Written over a year know. I think @swyx.io nailed it and the rise is here. www.latent.space/p/ai-engineer

I'm heading to #NeurIPS next week, I'll be in town Wednesday-Friday! I'll be at a couple things: - Wed 1-2pm: talking Transformer killers with @picocreator.bsky.social at @swyx.io @latentspacepod.bsky.social live! - Wed 11am: RedPajama poster (spotlight) with Maurice Weber 1/2

if you only learn 1 thing from philosophy 101 i hope it is deontology vs consequentialism

Remaining RSVPs are now open and going fast for next Tuesday's Infer Vancouver event, featuring @swyx.io, @natolambert.bsky.social, and @samjulien.com. 🏞️

I updated the list of accounts in the AIEngineering feed (bsky.app/profile/jere...) yesterday by crawling @simonwillison.net and @hamel.bsky.social 's followers. This increased the number of accounts from ~100 to ~1100.

*chinese models cannot say what happened on june 4 1989* “reee they are so censored dont trust them” *openai cannot say david mayer* “haha so cute silly baby anyway thanks for working on agi for the good of humanity”

Probably a place to mention that if you think a summary of top AI discords + AI reddits + AI X/Twitters would be useful, then you should sign up for @swyx.io's [AI News] newsletter. buttondown.com/ainews

apparently my post "you have built a compiler" (rachit.pl/post/you-hav...) has spawned a little genre: - DBs: dx.tips/oops-database - K8: www.macchaffee.com/blog/2024/yo... - Erlang: vereis.com/posts/you_bu... those who fail to learn about systems are doomed to recreate (crappy versions of) them

A good while ago, @kentcdodds.com wrote "you can learn so much for the low low price of your ego". And it still resonates so hard within me. Look within, learn, evolve.

The day after Infer, on Wed Dec 11, @swyx.io is hosting a one-day mini-conf called Latent Space Live. Worthwhile for any folks building on LLMs who will be in Vancouver that week. lu.ma/LSLIVE?tk=rC...

psa for non chinese friends - do this when having chinese tea with us and completely make our day youtube.com/shorts/-SiJ4...

hot take: this is not any better than getServerSideProps direct db access in server components is great dx for hacky starters and then you’ll want to undo it more and more as your app grows and needs o11y/security/auth/caching etc theres one killer app for RSCs - reducing js bundles. stick to that

virgin ai researchoor: > argmax benchmarks for bold rows > suffix CoT model with “o1” to game lemmings > y axis starts at 70 > begins prompt paper citing vaswani et al > github only has readme.md chad ben affleck: > llms are library of vectors of meaning and transformers that interpret in context

one of my fave new podcast discoveries in recent years - this dude just interviews the writing legends behind all the top hits you hear share.snipd.com/episode/d446... it is a shockingly small group of people who make all the hits

> Amodei has said companies will spend $100 million to train a bleeding-edge model this year and that amount will hit $100 billion in the coming years. did i miss something? gpt4 was $500m right? we should already be in the billion dollar model territory?

The first wave of tickets are now up for the NeurIPS edition of Infer Vancouver. In just three weeks (Tue 10) we'll be featuring talks by @swyx.io and @natolambert.bsky.social lu.ma/g7wmzk04

Slides here: docs.google.com/presentation... Inspired by the nice talk from @thomwolf.bsky.social earlier this year and updated with some material we are working on right now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SP...

ai twitter may have died because random slop like “GPT-o1” somehow gets tens of thousands of views but sincere earnest papers and blogposts get crickets

You're the man, Leo— love this discourse. This is my favorite blog post of all time. h/t @swyx.io Being vulnerable is really hard, but helps you grow more than anything else!

threw together a lil bluesky bot! if you have your domain name set as your handle, follow @linknotifier.bsky.social and it’ll DM you whenever someone posts a link to it.

received my daily affirmation from uber this morning

honest qtn: why the f is eink 1 OoM more expensive than tv?

Here's the full chart: A timeline of pandemics. Historical knowledge of past pandemics is sparse. Pandemics with an unknown death toll are shown as triangles, while pandemics with an estimated death toll are shown as circles.
