We spoke to @MikeZupper - who began life taking his toys apart, trained as an architect and then started a 3 decade engineering career at the dawn of the internet.

Before Fable got released (and pulled) @mozilla was quietly testing Claude Mythos against Firefox's 10M line codebase. The result? Over 400 security bugs fixes, including ones that had been hiding in the codebase for over a decade. @bgrins, distinguished engineer at Mozilla, walked me through the agentic bug-finding harness behind the model. His take? It was 50% mythos / 50% setup. In this ep, Brian walks through: - why you can't just point a model at 10M lines of code - how to write a good goal/loop pattern - killing false positives with a verifier - why it's good to "lie to the agent" And guess what? This isn't magic - you can write your own similar harness in less than an afternoon. Watch now on YT: youtu.be/Idjt53tTv2U

RF-DETR keypoints is finally out preview release: real-time transformer keypoint detection Apache 2.0 71.8 AP on COCO, 9.7ms on T4. outperforms YOLO11-pose and YOLO26-pose at similar latency

did @claudeai @OpenAI or @GitHubCopilot raise the prices on your AI usage? With @BlueClawNetwork you don't have to worry about a rug pull! . The next beta cohort of 25 starts on Friday June 19 2026 - Reserve your limited spot now!




I just released this open source project built on @ACEStep_Music. DEMON: Diffusion Engine for Musical Orchestrated Noise. It lets you play ACEStep like a musical instrument, remixing songs and loops with feedback that approaches real-time. Its essentially StreamDiffusion but instead of Stable Diffusion it is ACEStep1.5, and instead of images it is full songs. It runs on 30/40/5090. Built with @DaydreamLiveAI team, testing, and building the demo. We are hosting it if you want to try it without installing. For full details, links, and writeup please see the pinned project page.


Excited that our paper StreamdiffusionV2 received the Best Research Paper Award at #MLSys26! 🚀Video generation is quickly moving from demos to production-facing workloads. It is no longer a turn-based pipeline but should be a streaming pipeline to interact with users. 📖Our project page: streamdiffusionv2.github.io and paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2511.07399 👂Come join the talk if you are interested in streaming video generation. Our talk will be at the Research Track Oral Presentation: Best Paper Session on Tue 8:45AM at #MLSys26 , I will talk about how we attacked the efficiency and quality challenges. Hope to see you there! ❤️Huge thanks to all authors! This work would not have been possible without the incredible effort from the entire team. Big shout out to Tianrui Feng, Zhi Li, @Andy_ShuoYang , @HaochengXiUCB, @lmxyy1999 , @lvminzhang , @xiuyu_l , Keting Yang, @ZiqiPeng, @songhan_mit , @magrawala, @KurtKeutzer , and @cumulo_autumn


Our friends at #CommonIndex just ran An Ecology of Beasts at Milan Design Week, a 7-day generative installation. The cartography piece in this video was generated in real time on Daydream's hosted StreamDiffusion, responding to people in the room and the weather outside. Here's the full story... 🧵
