Semantic video search using local Qwen3-VL embedding, no API, no transcription

I've been experimenting with Qwen3-VL-Embedding for native video search, embedding raw video directly into a vector space alongside text queries. No transcription, no frame captioning, no intermediate text. You just search with natural language and it matches against video clips. The surprising par

Figure AI's Humanoid Walks into A Photoshoot By Itself!

What is the secret sauce Claude has and why hasn't anyone replicated it?

I've noticed something about Claude from talking to it. It's very very distinct in its talking style, much more of an individual than some other LLMs I know. I tried feeding that exact same system prompt Sonnet 4.5 to Qwen3.5 27B and it didn't change how it acted, so I ruled out the system prompt do

I tested as many of the small local and OpenRouter models I could with my own agentic text-to-SQL benchmark. Surprises ensured...

Last week I asked for some feedback about what extra models I should test. I've added them all and now the benchmark is available at [https://sql-benchmark.nicklothian.com/](https://sql-benchmark.nicklothian.com/) I didn't say a lot about what the agent at the time, but in simple terms it takes an

AI 2027 current accuracy

Almost a year has gone since the famous AI2027 predictions. What are your feelings about its accuracy right now? On track or way later? I know the authors came out with saying their predictions were about 2-3 years too early. They based this on the old Metr scores from before their V1.1 update.
