Five years at the spaceship. Wins, losses—growth. The greatest professional privilege of my career. Grateful for the people, the lessons…the mission.
Just getting started.

The future of intelligence is small, it’s private, it’s sovereign.
Andrej Karpathy:
“A 1B model can be much more effective than most current LLMs.
90% of current models waste a ton of capacity and money on remembering stuff that doesn’t matter.”
here is his 5 core thesis about Small LLM’s:
1. the intelligence was never the knowledge. Strip keep the reasoning. What’s left is the cognitive core, and it’s small.
2. the core might fit in ~1B params. Maybe less. “Plenty of room at the bottom.” We’ve been paying for a library when we needed a brain.
3. size stopped being the bottleneck. What makes an agent work is the tools it can call and how tight the feedback loop is, not parameter count.
4. intelligence lives in the system, not the weights. A raw LLM is a CPU with no OS. Small core + good harness > giant model alone.
5. you can own it. A model on your hardware is one no one can rate-limit, price-hike, or deprecate on you.
in 12 months the gap between teams shipping on-device and teams paying per-token frontier bills won’t be capability.
TwIL an 8.8B model at 90%+ of frontier isn’t a benchmark flex.
It’s the thesis Karpathy’s been repeating all year, made real.

The API is super cool and I think you're gonna love it!
Big news for our developers! We are shipping a developer preview that dramatically expands the capabilities of all apps to integrate into Siri. So excited to see what you folks do with this.

There's a buzzy new paper about GPT-6 Astra being able to directly interpret model weights (prompts full of floating point numbers) - I tried it with Qwen 3.8 27B on my laptop and found that, after 45+ minutes, that model could achieve the same thing simonwillison.net/2026/Nov/3/qwe…

The Cursor video is one I’ve watched and recommended multiple times 🔥
Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5:
hackertube.org
- Excellent (state is kept in local browser session)
- Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads
- Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version
- HackerTube Longs ✊
A bit more on the process:
I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing.
Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.

I’ll be at AfroTech next week. Hit me up if you wanna connect, talk agent interaction design, ML, HCI or Apple platform engineering.

iPhone Duo is here! Excited to have worked on the design of our open/close transition. It’s designed to make the two displays feel like one seamless experience by perceptually bending the focal plane, not the content, so that it feels like opening a window onto a singular view.
