Interactive evals and field studies — evidence, not marketing.
Crosstalk
How agents talk — to each other, to your tools, and to the world outside the box. The humans move up a level.
- Token costs reversed their multi-year decline mid-2026 — +29% intelligence-adjusted, +76% raw. If it holds, efficiency stops being optional and the token budget becomes a first-class design constraint. — The World's Fair Report · Jul 15
- Boring file architectures won retrieval: memory systems shipping with no vector database at all, embeddings reframed as cached compute, grep as the baseline. — The World's Fair Report · Jul 15
Dispatches
Filed from the floor — the patterns unfreeze in Miami, and the Linux moment arrives on the laptop.
Proofs
Show your work — 131 models, honest margins, and the thesis that it's agents all the way down.
-
Testing 48 LLMs Across 5 Dimensions for $4.63
Interactive leaderboard across reasoning, knowledge, instruction following, coding, and MCP tool use.
-
Can LLMs Use Real-World Tools?
39 models, real Rivian driving data via MCP — most can call tools; fewer call the right ones.
-
The Car Wash Test: Do LLMs Have Common Sense?
131 models, one question — should you walk or drive to the car wash?
Instruments
Reading the gauges — before you trust an agent, you need instruments that show you when it's lying.
Field Trials
Take the tools outside and see what breaks — agents become products, and products can be raced.
