stable-pretraining-v1: Foundation Model Research Made Simple
Foundation models and self-supervised learning (SSL) have become central to modern AI, yet research in this area remains hindered by complex codebases, redundant re-implementations, and the heavy engineering burden of scaling experiments. We present stable-pretraining, a modular, extensible, and performance-optimized library built on top of PyTorch, Lightning, Hugging Face, and TorchMetrics. Unlike prior toolkits focused narrowly on reproducing state-of-the-art results, stable-pretraining is de…

✅ How #Microsoft’s developers are using #AI - The Verge

How Microsoft’s developers are using AI
Microsoft is pushing its software developers to use AI internally. It’s part of an effort to get more AI agents doing the boring developer tasks.

Ik lees in het Nationaal AI Deltaplan (goed dat het er is!) over een staatssecretaris van AI bij EZ. Zelf heb ik de voorkeur voor een Minister van Digitale Zaken die naast AI ook een onderwerp als cloud onder zijn/haar hoede kan nemen. Maar zeker niet allebei, dan spreiden we de thematiek over 2 departementen , EZ en BZK.

One of my contractors used an #LLM for a first draft of a client deliverable today.
I don’t allow #AI use for any client-facing work (and try to prohibit it for internal work too, but it’s been… tricky). This person knows it - I’ve worked with them for years, and they are usually very thoughtful and wouldn’t take a shortcut like this. So seeing the obvious AI copy was very confusing.
Thankfully we had a call scheduled this morning, so I decided to handle it there.
The contractor showed up very obviously sick, they told me they took most of past week off but had to force themselves to finish this draft because the deadline is EOD. I asked if they used #AI to draft the document, they immediately confessed and apologized.
Since the deliverable is client-facing, I asked them to explain their ideas to me in conversational language and then used my notes of what they said to help them rewrite the document. We worked through the whole thing in an hour, and I’ve asked them to go rest and recover.

The more I learn about Agentic AI, the more it feels like LLMs behave similar to a next-gen "SQL" where Agents define the "source tables" that can be searched for specific information. The metadata discloses the purpose and content of each agent, so that the LLM can join it when appropriate.
Very flexible free form SQL, with very costly execution.

I don't envy "vibe coders". I mean, let's for a minute assume that their vision is not a pipe dream, but an accurate prediction of the future.
For a start, what's their plan for life? Driving a tool whose primary selling point is that anyone can use it. And I'm not even talking about all the inside competition. I'm talking of people realizing that they can cut the middleperson and do the coding themselves.
The way I see it, vibe coders are a bit like typists (with no offense to typists). Their profession is a product of a novelty. And just like typists largely disappeared when typewriters and then computers became commonplace, so are vibe coders bound to disappear when vibe coding becomes commonplace.
And are true programmers going to become obsolete? Well, let me ask you: did the proliferation of cars and corresponding self-service skills render car mechanics obsolete? On the contrary. The way I see it, the proliferation of slopcode will only make competent programmers ever the more necessary.
What vibe coders are saying is basically this: "This new automated self-service kit makes car maintenance so easy. Car mechanics will become obsolete now. Everyone's just going to hire *me* to run this kit instead."

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.
So far it’s been working!
Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.
Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.
