Now over 320B tokens/day. For those building on the API, what would you like us to fix or improve?
Venice now serves 125B tokens/day.

Young devs kept asking how knowledge graphs actually work, so we took the price off. The Memory Layer is free now. graphify.com/books
AI agents forget everything the moment the context window closes. I spent 2 years in knowledge graphs and neurosymbolic AI before building Graphify to fix that. The Memory Layer is the book behind it. 144 pages. Real code. Every codebase, corpus has a god node nobody knows about yet. Go find yours. ⬇️ safishamsi.gumroad.com/l/qet…

Burn 0.22 is out: our biggest release yet, and a big step towards 1.0. Models no longer carry a backend generic. That alone makes rebuilding after a model edit 6× to 15× faster.

turns out fundamental knowledge still matters. truely hate this fucking timeline. everybody just leaves their brain at the door now.
Oh come on. Quick look at colorshift (13x faster): HashMap in hot loop (unoptimized Rust vibeslop) is slower than indexed arrays (ASM). No shit. Numbers like 17x should raise eyebrows but reading the comments nobody is thinking anymore. This AI psychosis has fried people's brains

Can't say enough good things about using @AskVenice for my projects. Quite a few shots from this video and a few previous videos would get moderated and rejected when using other platforms, meanwhile Venice lets all of these prompts pass right on through to the model. You'd be amazed at how much moderation/prompt refusal is not from the AI model itself, but instead the platform you are using and their additional layers they've added between you and said model. @AskVenice basically treats you like an actual adult (still within reason) - a very refreshing take compared to some other similar platforms out there.
Ephemera! (End of an era)

this is extremely cool
computer-10 is a character model trained from llama 3.1 70b base with no assistant data. it has a distinct and unusual personality, expresses opinions freely, and is not designed to be servile to users

We want to sponsor Rust maintainers and open-source projects across web development, infrastructure, and AI as we add first-class Rust support to Encore. Who should be on our list?
Encore for Rust is now rolling out to a small group of teams. We’re looking for teams running Rust on AWS or GCP that are exploring the use of AI agents at the cloud infrastructure layer. Read more and request an invite: encore.dev/rs

whether or not an llm can write a book in the style of quan millz should be a benchmark imo

i think there's still a place for hand written code even with how advanced frontier models are getting

privacy first social media has arrived
Thank you everyone who volunteered to alpha test Mima, something I've been building behind the scenes for a bit now. It's my take on how a browser could enhance our access to the "social web"—no doom scrolling, no dogpiles, no ads. All on device, not on my servers. I'll be hustling on new features for the rest of the week. Sign up for the release at mima.social!

it's amazing how many people _still_ think rust purely exists as an overreaction to C++
