When our AI code reviewer's cost per run doubled, we dug into the token usage to find out why. Learn how we used prompt caching and intelligent model routing to slash our inference bill by 68% while speeding up reviews. https://t.co/FhCVDuy9z5

EAGLE-4 is here.

From EAGLE-1 to EAGLE-3, we’ve kept making inference faster.

EAGLE-4 is our fastest yet.

[Grok Bot @bot]

We use Grok Bot to spot incidents in our support queue and quickly respond to every associated ticket.

In one incident, it cleared 204 tickets in about 10 minutes, with one engineer approving the batch.

[Brandon Wie @BrandonWie]

@bot @bot see what we can learn from it and if there's anything we can actually utilize in a meaningful way based on our current setup

[Jennifer Zhou @chem_safety]

We looked at TerminalBench 4.0 and found a lot of issues. After fixing the issues Sonnet 5.5 scores 89.2%. So, TerminalBench is already mostly saturated.

Along the way we found a lot of crazy stuff, including reward hacks in the published transcripts.

We finally have an OpenVMM based sandbox! MSR / AzSRG just open sourced nvx (https://t.co/X7ACDuMZOQ), a sandbox built to support most agent workloads while stripping out all unnecessary components resulting in the lightest hardware isolated uVM I've seen

🔒 Prevent unauthorized data exfiltration with connection allowlists → https://t.co/CZNCNC0UiO

Third-party scripts or AI-generated code can bypass app-level checks to send sensitive information to unauthorized servers. Connection allowlists give you explicit control over network requests by making the browser the gatekeeper of all network connections originating from your page.

[Animate UI @animate_ui]

Animate UI 2.0 is out 🎉

Animated primitives for Radix UI, Base UI and React Aria, built with Motion.
Keep your shadcn/ui components.

✔ A CLI that animates them in one command
✔ An AI skill that animates anything (components, icons, interactions) and reviews your motion

[DeepSeek @deepseek_ai]

🚀 DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is here!

Stronger benchmark performance, faster task completion, and shorter outputs than the previous version—a Pareto improvement in performance and cost. Now live on our website, app, and API.

🛠️ Optimized for @DeepSeekHarness, Tencent CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, and more. Upgrade to DeepSeek Harness v0.2.1-rc.1 or later for the best experience with the new model.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed

🚀🐰 Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash.

💰Redefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed.

API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens.

Model weights will arrive on Oct 23.

10 more books I can't recommend enough:

On your way to Software Architect (Part 2)

Here's the order I'd read them in again 👇

𝟭. 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (Mark Richards, Neal Ford)

↳ The reference for problems you hit in almost every app.
↳ After it, you'll spot these patterns in code you own.

𝟯. 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 .𝗡𝗘𝗧 (Trevoir Williams)
↳ Saga, CQRS, and API Gateway in real .NET code.

𝟱. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 (Hugo Filipe Oliveira Rocha)
↳ The real pain of events: ordering, duplicates, eventual consistency.
↳ Shows how to keep data in sync when every service owns its own.

𝟲. 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 (Neal Ford, Mark Richards, Pramod Sadalage, Zhamak Dehghani)
↳ How to split a system and its data when there's no best answer.

↳ Harder cases: payment system, digital wallet, stock exchange.
↳ Worth reading even if you never plan to interview.

𝟵. 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 (Lee Atchison)
↳ How to keep high availability as traffic and teams grow.
↳ Teaches you to measure and manage risk, not hope it away.

𝟭𝟬. 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (Betsy Beyer, Chris Jones, Jennifer Petoff, Niall Richard Murphy)
↳ How Google keeps huge systems running: SLOs and error budgets.
↳ Architecture doesn't end at deploy. This book starts there.

📌 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
Before you read about a pattern, find where your project needs it.
Books stick when you have a real problem to solve.

Which of these have you read, and which one helped you the most?
