2025 Year in Review of LLM paradigm changes

Every M3 Ultra Mac Studio and Mac Mini cluster I’ve built hit the same wall… until Apple quietly removed the bottleneck—and suddenly, we're running the real deal. 👀 Start learning cyber security with TryHackMe: https://tryhackme.com/ziskind Use my code "ZISKIND25" to get 25% off on annual subscription! 🛒 Gear Links 🛒 ⌨️🏢 The rack in this video: tall version- https://amzn.to/4cvsfk3 short version - https://amzn.to/4j6Nuv4 🪛🪛Highly rated precision driver kit: https://amzn.to/4fkMVfg 💻☕ Favorite 15" display with magnet: https://amzn.to/3zD1DhQ 🎧⚡ Great 40Gbps T4 enclosure: https://amzn.to/3JNwBGW 🛠️🚀 My nvme ssd: https://amzn.to/3YLEySo 📦🎮 My gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/alexziskind 🎥 Related Videos 🎥 🧳🧰 Mini PC portable setup - https://youtu.be/4RYmsrarOSw 🍎💻 Dev setup on Mac - https://youtu.be/KiKUN4i1SeU 💸🧠 Cheap mini runs a 70B LLM 🤯 - https://youtu.be/xyKEQjUzfAk 🧪🔥 RAM torture test on Mac - https://youtu.be/l3zIwPgan7M 🍏⚡ FREE Local LLMs on Apple Silicon | FAST! - https://youtu.be/bp2eev21Qfo 🧠📉 REALITY vs Apple’s Memory Claims | vs RTX4090m - https://youtu.be/fdvzQAWXU7A 🧬🐍 Set up Conda - https://youtu.be/2Acht_5_HTo ⚡💥 Thunderbolt 5 BREAKS Apple’s Upcharge - https://youtu.be/nHqrvxcRc7o 🧠🚀 INSANE Machine Learning on Neural Engine - https://youtu.be/Y2FOUg_jo7k 🧱🖥️ Mac Mini Cluster - https://youtu.be/GBR6pHZ68Ho * 🛠️ Developer productivity Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPwbI_iIX3aQCRdFGM7j4TY_7STfv2aXX 🔗 AI for Coding Playlist: 📚 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPwbI_iIX3aSlUmRtYPfbQHt4n0YaX0qw EXO Github repo: https://github.com/exo-explore/exo Awni's MLX dist setup Gist: https://gist.github.com/awni/ec071fd27940698edd14a4191855bba6 My extra script (don't just run these, they need work, so be careful.

task list and todo for LLM AI agents

I recently came across JustHTML, a new Python library for parsing HTML released by Emil Stenström. It’s a very interesting piece of software, both as a useful library and as …

The gradual and systemic over-reliance on LLM outputs, especially with agentic systems, leads to a normalization of deviance.

Apple is making it easier to turn a bunch of Macs into an AI supercomputer with Thunderbolt 5 clustering.

Open-source platform to build and deploy AI agent workflows. - simstudioai/sim

The promise of personal AI assistants rests on a dangerous assumption: that we can trust systems we haven’t made trustworthy. We can’t. And today’s versions are failing us in predictable ways: pushing us to do things against our own best interests, gaslighting us with doubt about things we are or that we know, and being unable to distinguish between who we are and who we have been. They struggle with incomplete, inaccurate, and partial context: with no standard way to move toward accuracy, no mechanism to correct sources of error, and no accountability when wrong information leads to bad decisions...

If you are reading this, you probably have strong opinions about AGI, superintelligence, and the future of AI. Maybe you believe we are on the cusp of a transformative breakthrough. Maybe you are skeptical. This blog post is for those who want to think more carefully about these claims and examine them from a perspective […]
