We Didn’t Build the Master Algorithm. We Built an Orchestra.
This week everyone was watching GPT-6 and Opus 5.5. What made me stop was a model that doesn’t write a single word, and it sent me back to Pedro Domingos’s The Master Algorithm.

The Creature No Longer Waits in Line: dynamic workflows and the jump from chain to graph
Claude Code writes the orchestration script, launches a fleet of subagents, and the coordination doesn’t cost a single token. Third installment: from the loop to a graph that runs itself.

Agentic identity: the gap isn’t in the standards, it’s in the seam
There are around twenty specifications for giving an AI agent an identity and almost none are finished. But the serious problem is elsewhere: SCIM and SPIFFE operate on incompatible timescales, and nobody covers the point where they meet.

Inside Graphify: a code graph with no embeddings, and the benchmark row nobody reads
Graphify turns a repository into a deterministic knowledge graph with no embeddings and no LLM cost. Its benchmark is one of the best in the sector — and it contains the row that dismantles its own headline: four thousandths over a classic hybrid RRF. A technical read of the pipeline, the numbers and the defaults.

Two Hundred Lines and 57 Milliseconds: the experiments behind agent governance
Agent governance is usually discussed as doctrine. We took it to a test bench: a ~200-line gatekeeper, warm-forked microVMs, and four models unknowingly trying to break the rules. The numbers, the prompt-injection matrix, and the two leaks that taught us the most.

The Agent Forgets, the Graph Doesn’t: from loop engineering to graph engineering
Ng’s four patterns are still the right vocabulary, but the real axis in agent architecture isn’t how many agents you have — it’s where the state lives. An honest walk from loops to graphs, and what has changed since 2024.

The Creature That Empties Your Backlog While You Sleep: goal-driven loops and workflows in Claude Code
Loop engineering without the smoke: the anatomy of an autonomous loop, how I run mine with a GitHub board and subagents, and the Claude Code parts that make it possible.

A Hundred Children in 101 Milliseconds: the trick forkd stole from mitosis
forkd applies the old fork() call to whole virtual machines: a hundred isolated sandboxes in 101 ms by cloning a warm parent. The idea, explained calmly — with biology.

Inside GLM-5.2: The Open Model That Learned Not to Look at Everything
In mid-June 2026, a lab in Beijing released to the world — with an MIT license and open weights — a model that goes toe-to-toe with the closed frontier in long-horizon coding, at a sixth of the price. The headline isn’t the leaderboard. It’s how the thing is built. Because to read a million words…

The Borrowed Shell: why your “sovereign” AI might be living in a rental
Selling “sovereign” AI that actually runs on OpenAI’s models isn’t sovereignty — it’s a hermit crab in a borrowed shell. On the difference between armor you grew and armor with someone else’s name on the deed.
