Published 2026-04-06T06:15+00:00

Vandaag zie ik vooral beweging in models & onderzoek, tooling / infra, ecosysteem. Deze brief selecteert 6 signalen uit 37 kandidaten over 16 live lanes.

Eight years of wanting, three months of building with AI

Simon Willison

What happened: Eight years of wanting, three months of building with AI Lalit Maganti provides one of my favorite pieces of long-form writing on agentic engineering I've seen in ages. Why it matters: Interessant als signaal over de onderliggende stack, maar bewust beperkt tot één tooling-item in deze brief.

#tooling / infra

Hierarchical Planning with Latent World Models

arXiv reasoning / agents / evals

What happened: Model predictive control (MPC) with learned world models has emerged as a promising paradigm for embodied control, particularly for its ability to generalize zero-shot when deployed in new environments. Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit iets zegt over waar modelcapaciteit en onderzoek echt naartoe bewegen.

#models & onderzoek

Study maps developer frustration over "AI slop" as a "tragedy of the commons" in software development

The Decoder

What happened: A qualitative study looks at how developers perceive and push back against low-quality AI content, or "slop," in software development. Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit iets zegt over de richting van het bredere AI-ecosysteem en de builderlaag.

#ecosysteem

There are more AI health tools than ever—but how well do they work?

MIT Technology Review AI

What happened: Earlier this month, Microsoft launched Copilot Health, a new space within its Copilot app where users will be able to connect their medical records and ask specific questions about their health. Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit laat zien hoe AI landt in echte teams, processen of klantwerk.

#adoptie in de praktijk

Gemma 4 and what makes an open model succeed

Interconnects

What happened: Hint: it's not benchmark scores. Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit iets zegt over waar modelcapaciteit en onderzoek echt naartoe bewegen.

#models & onderzoek

Claude Dispatch and the Power of Interfaces

One Useful Thing

What happened: We often lack the tools for the job, even if the AI is capable enough Why it matters: Interessant omdat dit een bruikbare interpretatie of shift in denken blootlegt.
