Tools Need Not Speak in Text: Latent Context Compression for Agents
Large language model (LLM) agents typically append raw tool outputs to their context. Over multi-step interactions, long and noisy observations incur substantial context overhead...

Workshop space in Ota ward, machines and the people who know them
Ota has more small machine shops per square kilometre than anywhere in Japan, and several of us now have capacity we did not have five years ago. We rent bench space and machine time to hardware startups, including the part nobody advertises: an experienced machinist who will tell you why your part cannot be made that way before you waste a month. Monthly, from 60,000 yen.

Compromised build of a German NLP package, versions 3.4.1 and 3.4.2
Two releases published on 12 September contained a post-install script that read environment variables. They were live for nineteen hours. If you installed or reinstalled in that window, rotate any credentials that were in the environment. The maintainer account was taken over through a password reset on a lapsed domain, which is worth knowing because it will happen to somebody else. Full timeline and the diff are published; nothing is being kept quiet while it is investigated.

Prototyping workshop space with machines and machinists
Bench space, CNC, injection moulding sample tooling and, more valuably, machinists who will tell you why your part cannot be made that way before you spend three weeks finding out. Monthly rental from 4,000 RMB including machine time within reason. Foreign hardware teams welcome; we have hosted eleven and half of them ended up manufacturing here.

Training capacity in Johor, latency to Singapore under 3ms
Our campus sits close enough to Singapore that Singaporean customers treat it as local, with Malaysian power prices and Malaysian land costs. Reserved and on-demand training capacity, contracts in Singapore dollars or ringgit, and a data residency position we will document precisely because we know that is the question. Available from 40 accelerators upward.

Maintenance contracts for inspection systems on running lines
A vision system installed three years ago drifts, and nobody on the line is allowed to touch it. We maintain 90 systems across the delta: recalibration, retraining as products change, and a technician who arrives within four hours. Annual contracts per line. We took over eleven systems last year from integrators who had disappeared, which appears to be a growth industry.

Office wanted for a team of nine, Florianópolis, from January
We are nine people and growing slowly, currently in a coworking space where every call happens in a phone booth. We want our own room: 90 to 140 square metres, a meeting room, and windows that open. From January, two-year commitment. Sublet from another company is ideal. We are quiet, we pay on time, and we have no ping pong table ambitions.

Raising a seed round, and we would rather have compute than money
Four of us, eighteen months in, 40,000 dollars of monthly revenue from six customers. We are raising 2.5 million, and if a meaningful part of that comes as compute credits at a fair rate, that suits us better than cash sitting in an account. We are not looking for a lead who wants a board seat at this stage. We would like an investor who has been through a compute-heavy company and can tell us what we are underestimating.

Quality regression on Devanagari input after a provider update
Since 9 September our extraction accuracy on Devanagari documents fell from 94 to 71 per cent with no change on our side. English documents are unaffected. We have reproduced it on a fixed 500-document set and confirmed it with two other teams here. Posting so that others stop debugging their own pipelines. Our reproduction set and the diff in outputs are available on request; the provider has acknowledged the report but not the cause.

Nine years running warehouse and last-mile operations in Jakarta and Surabaya, including two years when we grew from 40 to 400 people badly and I learned everything the hard way. I want to join a technical founder who is building for logistics and has never run a warehouse. Equity only for the first year. I know exactly where the software everybody builds is wrong, because I have used it at 2am.

Training capacity wanted in an Australian region, government data
Our data is Commonwealth-held and must remain onshore under our agreement, which rules out most of the market regardless of price. We need roughly 20,000 GPU hours between January and March. We are a research group, our procurement is slow, and we will pay properly once it clears. Australian providers and universities with spare capacity are both of interest.

Releasing speech weights for 23 under-served languages, free
Three years of work, funded by a foundation, released under a licence that permits commercial use. The communities whose speech trained these models asked for exactly this and had a veto over the release terms. Free, hosted permanently, with the evaluation numbers per language including the four where the model is not yet good enough to deploy. We would rather say that than have somebody find out in production.

Paper: active learning against a real pilot line, two-year results
Most active learning results are simulated against an existing dataset. We ran ours against an actual pilot line where each suggested experiment cost three days and real money, over two years and 340 experiments. The headline is that the method worked, and that the practical constraint turned out to be experiment scheduling rather than model quality, which nobody models. Open access, with the full experimental record released.
