Introducing ScaleDown

15x cheaper. 63x faster. 5.1% more accurate than GPT-5.4 Mini.

Task-specific SLMs for the 70-80% of AI workloads that don't need a frontier model.

The only thing worse than having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI is not having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI.

Long time in the making... Subagents! 🧠✨

Each subagent comes with a separate context window, custom system instructions, and curated set of tools.

• Create specialized expert agents 🤖
• Keep the main agent focused and context clean ✨
• Delegate work to parallel agents at the same time👥

What if you could take three completely different model families… and distill them into one tiny model? 🤯

📜 Paper: https://t.co/K2iKD4xFvp

MOPD (Multi-Teacher On-Policy Distillation) has become a standard procedure in post-training. We already distill multiple specialized variants of the same model into a single set of weights.
But what if we could go further - and distill models from entirely different families? Turns out, it is possible.

Today we’re releasing a paper on cross-tokenizer distillation - our first steps in this exciting direction. 📄

We distilled Qwen3-4B, Phi-4-Mini, and Llama-3B into Llama-3.2-1B.
MMLU jumped from 32.05 → 46.32 when using multiple teachers. 📈

The team is now working on Nemo-RL integration so the community can try this method in their own settings. Plus, we are scaling experiments up. 🚀

If Steve Jobs were still alive, he would have the moral authority to face and maybe even to solve this problem. But I doubt anyone in the phone business now does.

🚨 Critical 18-Year-Old NGINX Vulnerability Enables Remote Code Execution Attacks

Source: https://t.co/JRMGVhvuEC

A critical heap buffer overflow vulnerability, lurking in NGINX's source code since 2008, has been publicly disclosed. This vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, along with a working proof-of-concept exploit that can enable unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) against one of the most widely used web servers in the world.

Assigned a CVSS score of 9.2, CVE-2026-42945 resides in NGINX's ngx_http_rewrite_module. This engine powers URL rewriting and variable assignment in virtually every modern NGINX deployment.

This is crazy. The hacker installed a dead-man's switch that will wipe your computer if you revoke the GitHub token they stole from you. Revoking the token is what triggers the wipe.

Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want.

I'm currently doing a lot of interviews with some of the best technical talent in the world. This helped me realize a pattern about the European job market that is not that talked about but has massive impact on tech in Europe.

Wdyt? Are you a tech IC? Can you confirm?

Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.
