MIT Tech Review named mechanistic interpretability a 2026 Breakthrough Technology. Anthropic open-sourced circuit tracing. Here's what actually changed, how it connects to the activation probes I built for sandbagging detection, and why production teams should care.
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards powers every reasoning model worth talking about. But it only works where you can check the answer automatically. Extending it to messy, real-world domains is the hardest open problem in LLM training right now.
MCP handles agent-to-tool. A2A handles agent-to-agent. A2UI handles agent-to-interface. Together they form a protocol stack that nobody has mapped properly - including the security gaps that should terrify you.
First empirical demonstration of activation-level sandbagging detection. Linear probes achieve 90-96% accuracy across Mistral, Gemma, and Qwen models. Key finding - sandbagging representations are model-specific, and steering can reduce sandbagging by 20%.
I tested activation steering on 4 agent behaviors across 3 models. The results surprised me.
A practical framework for evaluating your multi-agent context management strategy. From ad-hoc string concatenation to self-evolving context systems - where does your architecture stand?
Explore how to architect data partitioning and flow for massive-scale event processing. Learn implementation patterns for handling 2.5M events/second across distributed systems using Kafka, Ignite, and Cassandra. Practical insights on partition strategies, data routing, and performance optimization.
Dive into the architecture of a telco-scale real-time data platform processing 2.5M events/second and 350GB DPI data/15min. Learn how we combined Apache Kafka, Ignite, and Cassandra to build a high-performance system handling massive telecommunications data for real-time analytics and customer insights.
In this article, I discuss the challenges of synchronization in cellular network positioning and the importance of precise timing for accurate positioning. I also explore ways to mitigate these errors, including algorithmic adjustments and improving synchronization technologies.
The foundational distributed systems principles optimized for surviving hardware failure and scaling horizontally. But the data tells a different story: 80% of outages stem from changes we make to running systems. The hard problem has shifted from 'can it survive failure' to 'can it survive us.'
