Version 0.25 of the RTen ONNX runtime has been released. This includes support for several widely-used non-standard "contrib" ops, attention-related operators and bug fixes/compatibility improvements found by AI-assisted testing of over a thousand ONNX models from Hugging Face.

Agents are very useful for large-scale verification of a new implementation of something against existing real-world data. I used Claude to pull hundreds of ONNX models from Hugging Face and run them against RTen. This has found panics, spec edge cases and helped prioritize unimplemented features.

xd009642.github.io/2026/07/21/o... ohno 6 days later and I'm posting again. A one line change at work lead to an ~84% cloud cost saving and lead to me learning some slightly surprising things about how onnxruntime works. Plus a shoutout to rten an alternative in Rust that also solves the issue.

I've added an AI policy to ripgrep that was shamelessly copied from uv's policy. I plan to add this to the rest of my projects, but if anyone wants to offer feedback on wording, now would be a good time! github.com/BurntSushi/r...

Of all the manual or micro-managing corrections I find myself needing to make to Claude-generated code nowadays, the vast majority are to docstrings, comments and commit messages. On the surface this seems like a superficial issue, just a quirk that it tends to be verbose.

davidbessis.substack.com/p/the-fall-o... is an excellent piece. While it is about pure mathematics, many of the ideas transfer to software systems in some way.

Hmm... on the one hand it is very useful to have an easy API to perform nuanced tasks that require language and image understanding. On the other, this is indeed a major backwards compatibility and interoperability hazard.

Chrome looks set to ship an LLM Prompt API to the web platform. At Mozilla, we oppose this API. We feel it has a large interoperability risk, and Google imposing T&Cs on a web API sets a dangerous precedent. Full details: github.com/mozilla/stan...

Something I find myself wanting for agent-written code is a tool for doing local review before I ask other humans to look at it. github.com/agavra/tuicr seems promising as a Vim-friendly solution.

We are THRILLED to announce that our Ecma standards will now use UUIDs instead of integers. ECMA-262 is now ECMA-39c506d7-731f-4220-8ffd-a68970945a65. Far more scalable. No two specs will ever collide again. Perfect system. Shortened forms like ECMA-39c506d7 are acceptable in casual conversation.

Reading github.blog/news-insight..., I'm don't think I've ever *used* a Copilot feature on GitHub, but I appreciate the optimism that someday someone, somewhere will.

From April 24 onward, interaction data from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out.
