The Mixture-of-Agents (MoA) framework is redefining how we push large language models (LLMs) to higher levels of accuracy, reasoning depth, and reliability—without the prohibitive cost of scaling a single massive model. Instead of relying on one “jack-of-all-trades” LLM, MoA orchestrates a team of specialized models that collaborate in structured layers, refining outputs step-by-step. This approach … Read more
GPT-5 is here, and so is the backlash. Within days of launch, the internet was buzzing: “It’s slower.” “Feels less creative.” “I’m switching back to GPT-4.” If you’re an entrepreneur, creator, or marketer, this isn’t just background noise. It’s a red flag. Because here’s the truth: If your GPT-5 outputs suck, it’s probably not the … Read more

The demo started innocuously enough. In a cramped conference room at RSA 2024, a researcher from one of the big four security firms pulled up what looked like basic malware code on his laptop. Nothing unusual—until he hit enter. What happened next still haunts my sleep. The code began rewriting itself in real-time. Not simple … Read more

1 Introduction The Model Context Protocol (MCP) represents a novel open standard designed to unify the interface between large language model (LLM) agents and external tools, data sources, and memory systems. Unlike traditional API calls, MCP provides a contextualized, real-time JSON-RPC communication channel, allowing LLM-based agents to extend their reasoning capabilities dynamically by invoking, combining, … Read more

I’ve spent the better part of two decades tracking cryptographic threats, and I’m convinced we’re having the wrong conversation about quantum computing. While everyone’s obsessing over when quantum computers will break RSA-2048—spoiler alert: experts now estimate 15 years—we’re missing a more immediate and arguably more dangerous reality unfolding right now. The quantum threat isn’t some … Read more
