PyVision: Agentic Vision with Dynamic Tooling
LLMs are increasingly deployed as agents, systems capable of planning, reasoning, and dynamically calling external tools. However, in visual reasoning, prior approaches largely remain limited by predefined workflows and static toolsets. In this report, we present PyVision, an interactive, multi-turn framework that enables MLLMs to autonomously generate, execute, and refine Python-based tools tailored to the task at hand, unlocking flexible and interpretable problem-solving. We develop a taxonom…

Histogramming bytes with positional popcount (GF2P8AFFINEQB edition)
A while ago, after some back and forth on twitter/X with @corsix , I dropped some implementation of byte histogramming without explaini...

At Berlin Buzzwords 2025, Athanasios Papaoikonomou discussed how different models and reranking depths impact search performance, revealing important patterns and the real-world efficiency vs. effectiveness trade-off.

Impact of model uncertainty on SPARC operating scenario predictions with empirical modeling
Understanding and accounting for uncertainty helps to ensure next-step tokamaks such as SPARC will robustly achieve their goals. While traditional Plasma OPerating CONtour (POPCON) analyses guide design, they often overlook the significant impact of uncertainties in scaling laws, plasma profiles, and impurity concentrations on performance predictions. This work confronts these challenges by introducing statistical POPCONs, which leverage Monte Carlo analysis to quantify the sensitivity of SPARC…
