I have two NFC chip implants. One in each hand. I put the one in my left hand in myself, on a Saturday afternoon in January 2024, after spending two or three minutes holding the needle against my skin and slowly working out the exact spot. The one in my right hand I drove an hour out to Worcester for, paid a guy $150, and held still while he did the install in a tattoo and piercing studio. Same te
Today we're open-sourcing the AI Model Directory, the most comprehensive, automatically updated list of AI models and their metadata available today. It's the data layer that powers model selection in AgentOne, and now it's free for anyone to use, fork, or contribute to. If you'd rather just look at models, we also built a browser for the directory at models.agent-one.dev where you can search, sor
A College Project That Planted a Seed Years ago I was on a university team trying to build a Go AI. We explored monte carlo simulation for lookahead search, basic neural networks for pattern recognition, and expert systems for encoding domain knowledge. None of them worked well enough on their own. Go's branching factor is enormous, so brute-force search fails quickly. Neural networks without th
If you’ve been building with AI recently, you’ve probably seen these terms everywhere: AI Gateway. And depending on where you read, they either sound like the same thing… or completely different systems. Some vendors use them interchangeably. Others define only one and ignore the rest. And if you try to piece it together yourself, you end up with a vague understanding that doesn’t really help when
If you work in IoT, environmental sensing, or data systems, forest soil monitoring is one of the most technically interesting problems you'll encounter. The system you're trying to measure is extraordinarily complex, the variables are deeply interdependent, and the consequences of getting it wrong — or not monitoring at all — are significant. The Problem Space: What You're Actually Measuring Soil
In an era where data privacy is often the price we pay for convenience, medical information remains the most sensitive frontier. When you upload a patient's transcript or a personal health log to a centralized API, you're essentially trusting a third party with your most intimate data. But what if the "brain" lived entirely within your browser? Today, we are diving deep into the world of Edge AI a
Self-attention already helps a transformer understand relationships between words using Query, Key, and Value. But there’s a problem. One attention mechanism usually ends up focusing on a limited kind of relationship at a time. Language doesn’t work like that. A sentence can have structure, meaning, and long-range links all at once. That’s why transformers use multi-head attention. Instead of doin
I keep seeing the same argument about AI making us dumber. It's the same argument people had about search engines, and before that books. The usual response is to point at history and say "every generation panics, every generation was wrong, relax." I think that response is half right, and the wrong half is what bothers me. Tools change what we bother to remember. The people who'd trained their wh
