Jaison: The Fault-Tolerant JSON Parser Built for the LLM Era If you’ve ever asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Qwen, ERNIE, or any large language model to “return JSON,” you already know the pain: the output looks perfect to human eyes but explodes the moment you feed it to JSON.parse. A missing bracket, a trailing comma, Chinese full-width punctuation, single quotes, // comments, “`json Jaison is a zero-dependency, pure JavaScript JSON parser designed from the ground up to fix exactly these problems in a single pass. It silently repairs dozens of structural mistakes that LLMs love to make and hands you back …
Evo-Memory: The streaming benchmark that forces LLM agents to learn at test time, not just remember What makes an agent truly get better while it works? A self-evolving memory that can retrieve, refine and reuse strategies across a never-ending task stream—Evo-Memory measures exactly that. What problem is Evo-Memory trying to solve? Core question: “Why do most LLM agents plateau even when they store every chat log?” Short answer: Storing is not learning. Static retrieval only replays facts; it never updates the policy. In long-horizon or goal-oriented streams the same type of sub-task appears again and again, but the agent treats …

Announcing vLLM-Omni: Easy, Fast, and Cheap Omni-Modality Model Serving Core Question Addressed: How can we efficiently serve the next generation of AI models that process and generate text, images, audio, and video, overcoming the limitations of serving engines designed only for text-based Autoregressive tasks? The landscape of generative AI is undergoing a profound transformation. Models are rapidly evolving from specialized Large Language Models (LLMs) to powerful “omni-agents” capable of seamlessly reasoning across and generating content in text, images, audio, and video modalities. This shift—from “text-in, text-out” to complex, heterogeneous input and output—demands an equally revolutionary shift in the underlying infrastructure. …
ViBT: Vision Bridge Transformer at Scale – A Practical Deep Dive What is ViBT and why does it achieve up to 4× faster inference than token-heavy conditional diffusion models while maintaining comparable quality? ViBT is the first large-scale realization of Brownian Bridge generative models for vision tasks. Instead of the classic “noise-to-data” paradigm, it directly learns stochastic trajectories from a structured source (image/video) to a structured target, eliminating most conditioning tokens and dramatically reducing compute. Figure: Example results of ViBT across instruction-based editing, stylization, colorization, and frame interpolation. Why the Noise-to-Data Paradigm Feels Wrong for Conditional Generation Most modern image …

Why I Switched My Main Browser Back to Chrome After 6 Years — A 3-Month Honest Review of Gemini in Chrome For the past five or six years, Microsoft Edge was my daily driver. I liked the vertical tabs, the built-in Copilot, the performance — everything. Then, three months ago, I got early access to Gemini natively inside Chrome (officially called Gemini for Chrome or Gemini Chrome). Today, Edge is gathering dust. I’m fully back on Chrome and have zero intention of leaving. This isn’t just “another AI sidebar.” It’s the first browser AI that actually feels like it belongs …
