The Harness Determines the Ceiling: Why the Same AI Brain Performs Wildly Differently in Different Bodies
Imagine a world-class chess grandmaster locked in a sensory deprivation chamber. They can think, analyze, and strategize at the highest level — but they can't s
Agent Infrastructure Is Being Platformized — How Anthropic Managed Agents Changes AI Development
Not long ago, building a production-grade AI agent system meant months of engineering work before a single line of business logic got written. You needed distri
Your Immune System Is Running Out of Fuel: NMN Moves From Supplement Shelf to Clinical Trial
In 2026, NMN entered its first clinical trial for autoimmune disease and appeared in Nature Medicine. Combined with new evidence on T cell senescence reversal and exercise-driven SIRT1 activation, three studies map NAD+ as an immune calibrator.
Your NAD+ Numbers Went Up. But Did You Actually Get Younger?
The supplement industry has a gift for turning a promising molecule into a simple story: your NAD+ declines with age, so you take a precursor like NMN or NR to
Your Model Is Fine. Your Framework Isn't.
Open-source 20B+ models run fine on consumer hardware in 2026. Plug them into an agent framework and tool-call success rates collapse below 50%. After 27 top-venue papers, the verdict is clear: the bottleneck is the framework, not the model.
