We dive into DisCIPL (Decentralized Collaborative Intelligent Planning Language model), a two-part framework that splits reasoning into a planner LM that writes a task-specific program and a swarm of cheap follower LMs that execute in parallel. The planner acts as a blueprint-writer and gatekeeper, guiding thousands of quick, inexpensive attempts and filtering them against constraints. This setup lets small, affordable models match or beat a single giant model on hard tasks—from precise rhyming to strict-budget itineraries—while delivering huge efficiency gains. We also explore how this approach points toward fully recursive, self-steering AI and the future of scalable, autonomous problem solving.

We dive into Spherical Voronoi (SV), a new framework that partitions viewing directions on the sphere with adaptive Voronoi cells to capture sharp reflections and high-frequency lighting in real-time rendering. See how SV uses a single softmax temperature to smoothly span diffuse to mirror-like highlights, outperforming traditional approaches like spherical harmonics and even neural baselines such as ZipNerf, all with an explicit, stable model. We'll discuss Voronoi light probes, benchmark results, and what this means for achieving real-time photorealism in games and VR.

From button taps on your iPhone to complex event flows, this episode breaks down the Chain of Responsibility design pattern. Learn how a chain of handlers can decide who processes a request at runtime, keeping senders agnostic of receivers and enabling dynamic, extensible systems. We’ll look at Cocoa’s responder chain as a concrete example, discuss how multiple handlers can engage, and explore implications for future AI-driven, decentralized software architectures. Plus practical tips for architects and developers.
