Thoughts on Investing and Starting Up It’s been a big week in AI. Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic all had major releases, and one clear throughline was the push toward increasingly autonomous coding agents. So we figured this was the perfect moment to talk about how unreliable Large Language Models (LLMs) are as a base technology, and what that means for builders trying to work with them. Unreliability is the core bottleneck to unlocking the full power of LLMs. For all the deserved excitement ar

Beyond their everyday chat capabilities, Large Language Models are increasingly being used to make decisions in sensitive domains like hiring, health, law, and civic engagement. The exact mechanics of how we use these models in such scenarios is vital. There are many ways to have LLMs make decisions, including A/B decision-making, ranking, classification, "panels" of judges, etc. but every single method is individually fragile and subject to measurement biases that are rarely discussed.

Adventures in Symbolic Algebra with Model Context Protocol I spent last weekend playing with this new MCP protocol all the kids are talking about. And it's fun, but a bit early and rough around the edges. MCP, if you're not familiar, is Anthropic's answer to the question: "How do we get AI to actually DO things instead of just TALK about doing them?" It's a protocol that allows language models to call external tools, much like how your friend who claims to know everything actually calls their

LLM function calls don't scale; code orchestration is simpler, more effective. 20 May, 2025 TL;DR: Giving LLMs the full output of tool calls is costly and slow. Output schemas will enable us to get structured data, so we can let the LLM orchestrate processing with generated code. Tool calling in code is simplifying and effective.
