Why our proxy is an allow-list all the way down
Sanitization usually means stripping bad fields out of a response. We do it the other way. We build the response from a list of fields we trust.

Most miscategorizations are not about being wrong. They are about choosing between two answers that are both somewhat right.

A model that breaks a tool schema once is interesting. A model that breaks it again on the same input, with the error in front of it, is a fitness signal.
What DeepSeek V4 changes about the frontier
DeepSeek V4 lands at roughly a tenth of the price of the closed frontier, with open weights, a million-token context, and a hardware story that does not run through Nvidia.
Why we build the loading state first
Loading states are usually the last thing a frontend team gets to. Building them first commits us to the layout before we have any data to lean on.
Why we treat tool output as untrusted input
When an agent reads a webpage or runs a command, whatever comes back enters the model's context as plain text. The model cannot tell instructions from data.
