Most people don’t think about tokens, and honestly, should they?
Most people don’t think about tokens, and maybe they shouldn’t. But the way we use AI today has real implications for energy, cost, and the future of software. Here's why local-first AI matters.

From IDE to deployment: 9 Best AI tools for Python
We put the top AI tools for Python coding to the test, not just to see which writes code the fastest, but which actually feels good to use, fits into your workflow, and makes building in Python more enjoyable.

Beyond the cloud: SLMs, local AI, agentic constellations, biology and a high value direction for AI progress
We’ve all heard it — “the future of AI is in the cloud.” But the real story is that the future might be smaller, closer, and more personal. From Small Language Models (SLMs) to local-first AI, agentic constellations, and even bio-inspired designs, the next big leap in AI isn’t about scale. It’s about building smarter, faster, more private tools that actually work for you.
