You fine-tune a model, run your benchmark, and the score jumps six points. Before you write that up, there's one question worth ten minutes: how many of those benchmark examples were in the training data? If the answer is "some", part of that six points is a measurement of memory rather than capability â and there is no way to separate the two after the fact. This is train/test contamination. It's one of the most common and least discussed reasons an offline number fails to reproduce in producti...
A classification pass over a large corpus prints its progress. Here are two numbers from the same run, in the same line: judged=8/1601 judged_atoms=4569/62613 Eight of sixteen hundred. Four and a half thousand of sixty-two thousand. Both are "how much have we judged", both are correct, and they are not the same question. The first counts files. The second counts items inside files. Eight files is half a percent of the files, and those eight files happened to be dense, so they carry 4,569 items. ...

This article provides a step by step update guide for a Python MCP server that drives Google Nano Banana 2 Lite (gemini-3.1-flash-lite-image) through the Gemini Interactions API. Two dependency lines moved underneath it since it was first published: the MCP Python SDK went to 2.x, and the Interactions API dropped the schema that google-genai 1.x speaks. The same server is then registered with Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity CLI, and validated end to end against the live API. https://github.co...

Diablo 4 won't receive more expansions moving forward, as Blizzard shifts its focus to the newly revealed Diablo 5 instead.

Diablo 5 isn't coming until Spring 2029, but Blizzard has already revealed three of the game's playable classes. Two of them will be familiar to Diablo 3 fans: the Monk and Demon Hunter. The third will be an all-new class, the Plague Knight. The Plague Knight sounds similar to Death Knights from Blizzard's other fantasy franchise and are described as "walking death" that spread disease and pestilence wherever they go, then consume it to increase their power. Blizzard revealed plenty of new detai...

As is BlizzCon tradition, a new World of Warcraft cinematic premiered during the BlizzCon 2026 opening ceremony, setting the stage for the MMORPG's next expansion, The Last Titan. In a departure for BlizzCon, that glimpse was just about all fans learned about the new expansion, with Blizzard instead looking to put the focus more on the final content patch of the game's current Midnight expansion. That update, titled Eclipse, will consist of a climactic showdown with the franchise's current main ...
