  • Quoting Dario Amodei
    simonw· 16-ago

    <blockquote cite="https://twitter.com/darioamodei/status/2088758819304443967"><p>I do agree that the public has a negative view of AI (and that this is a big problem), but I don’t think it is primarily caused by me or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks. I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust. I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over. The causes of this go back decades and AI is just the latest iteration of it. I don’t think that a glitzy marketing campaign with a positive spin (which some have advocated that Anthropic do) is the way to win back that trust — at this point, saying that AI will cure cancer is more a cliche than it is inspiring, and most peop…

  • Markdown SVG upgrades
    simonw· 16-ago

    <p>I started building my <a href="https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer">markdown-svg-renderer</a> tool <a href="https://tools.simonwillison.net/colophon#markdown-svg-renderer.html">in May</a>, but I've since added enough features to it that it's worth talking about here again.</p> <p>It's evolved into my ideal tool for sharing Markdown transcripts that include SVG documents. Given my <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pelican-riding-a-bicycle/">proclivity for drawing pelicans riding bicycles</a> this is a problem that I needed to solve!</p> <p>The tool is very simple. Navigate to <a href="https://tools.simonwillison.net/markdown-svg-renderer">markdown-svg-renderer</a> in your browser and paste in some Markdown to see it rendered... or save that Markdown to a CORS-fri…

  • Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things
    simonw· 16-ago

    <p>Friday's big release was <a href="https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B">Qwen 3.8 27B</a>, an Apache 2 licensed 27B parameter vision-capable LLM from Alibaba's Qwen research lab. I've been looking forward to this one: 27B is an excellent size for running a model on a reasonably specced laptop, and its predecessor <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/22/qwen36-27b/">Qwen 3.6 27B</a> was impressive.</p> <p>Qwen's <a href="https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B#benchmark-results">self-reported benchmarks</a> for this model are eye-opening. They show a boost from both Qwen 3.6 27B <em>and</em> the closed-weight Qwen 3.7-Plus, which was one of Qwen's strongest models of any size as recently as <a href="https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.7-plus">May this year</a>.

  • Don't classify. Hallucinate!
    simonw· 14-ago

    <p><strong><a href="https://softwaredoug.com/blog/2026/08/10/hypothetical-classifications">Don&#x27;t classify. Hallucinate!</a></strong></p> I still have quite a bit of older content on my blog that I never got round to tagging. My blog has <a href="https://simonwillison.net/">1,856 tags</a> - likely too many to feed to an LLM in one go and say "which of these tags match the following content".</p> <p>Doug Turnbull has a neat solution. Tell the model to output tags without any details of the existing vocabulary, then use vector embeddings against the existing corpus to find the concrete tags that are closest to the ones the model imagined might fit!</p> <p>His example prompt suggests including an example of the shape of your tags to help the model make a more useful guess:</p> <blockquot…

  • CORS Chat
    simonw· 15-ago

    <p><strong>Tool:</strong> <a href="https://tools.simonwillison.net/cors-chat">CORS Chat</a></p> <p>I built this today (<a href="https://gist.github.com/simonw/92a1d97773744b45bf259e003013cf36">with GPT-5.6-Sol xhigh</a>) to help test Qwen 3.8 27B running in LM Studio on both my M5 MacBook Pro and an NVIDIA DGX Spark.</p> <p>It provides a web UI for exercising an OpenAI-Responses-compatible chat endpoint. I've tried it against LM Studio with the <code>--cors</code> option and OpenRouter, and both work fine.</p> <p>Conversations are persisted in the browser and can be exported as copy-pasted JSON. One fun detail is that it notices SVG images that are being generated and progressively renders them in the chat while the tokens are still streaming in.</p> <p><img alt="Alt text generated by Qwe…
