Inkling (Thinking Machines Lab)
Inkling is Thinking Machines Lab's first open-weights foundation model.
Why it mattersInkling is a 975B-param (41B active) multimodal MoE released under Apache 2.0 with 1M-token context and same-day fine-tuning on Tinker, giving builders a permissively licensed U.S. open base model to customize rather than a locked-down API.

Slow down to speed up: so much has changed in 6 months’ time
A keynote argument that slowing down is how teams speed up, revisited after six months in which almost everything about the tooling changed.
Why it mattersA grounded field report on how top labs and companies are restructuring engineering around the newer generation of coding agents.

Co-Existence Book Website
The promotional website for Ethan Mollick's book 'Co-Existence,' notable for including a dedicated version of the page addressed to AI agents that read on behalf of human users.
Why it mattersIf you build websites or content that AI agents will read on a user's behalf, this shows a concrete pattern for designing dual human/AI-facing pages and A/B testing presentation against LLMs.

Choosing to Stay Human
An essay by Ethan Mollick exploring how to use AI thoughtfully for writing and learning without surrendering the cognitive work that builds real skill.
Why it mattersIt gives a research-backed framework for using AI on writing and learning tasks in ways that build skill instead of eroding it, with specific prompting patterns like activating tutor modes rather than accepting the frictionless default.

Claude Cowork with Dispatch
An article examining how AI interfaces shape usability, highlighting Anthropic's Claude Cowork (a Claude Code variant for knowledge workers) and its Dispatch feature.
Why it mattersA sharp argument that chatbot interfaces impose cognitive load and that specialized or on-demand interfaces (like controlling a desktop agent from your phone via QR code) unlock more of AI's real capability.

The Shape of the Thing
An essay by Ethan Mollick analyzing the current state of AI, arguing that we've entered an era of managing AI agents rather than working alongside them.
Why it mattersIt gives practicing engineers a concrete mental model for the transition from working alongside AI to orchestrating fleets of agents, grounded in a real 'software factory' case study where humans no longer write or review code.

A Guide to Which AI to Use in the Agentic Era
An explanatory guide that breaks down how to choose AI tools in 2025 by understanding three layers.
Why it mattersIt gives you a reusable three-layer framework — models, apps, and harnesses — for reasoning about which AI tool fits a given task, cutting through the confusion of overlapping ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini coding agents and desktop products.

The Shape of AI: Jaggedness, Bottlenecks and Salients
An essay by Ethan Mollick analyzing why AI capabilities improve unevenly (the 'jagged frontier') and how single bottlenecks hold back entire systems until they suddenly break through.

Giving your AI a Job Interview
An essay by Ethan Mollick arguing that organizations should evaluate AI models like job candidates rather than relying on public benchmarks.
Why it mattersIf you're picking an AI model for real work, this shows why leaderboard scores mislead and gives you concrete alternatives—vibes-testing, GDPval-style real-task benchmarks, and ambiguous-judgment probes.

On Working with Wizards
An essay by Ethan Mollick exploring how the nature of working with AI is shifting from collaborative 'co-intelligence' to a 'wizard' model, where AI produces sophisticated outputs through opaque processes that users can only verify, not shape.

GPT-5
GPT-5 is OpenAI's flagship AI model that automatically selects the right reasoning level for each task and proactively takes action on vague prompts.

The Bitter Lesson versus The Garbage Can
An essay exploring whether AI agents can navigate messy, undocumented organizational processes by training on outcomes rather than encoding human expertise.
Why it mattersIf you're deploying agents inside real organizations, this reframes the problem: instead of mapping chaotic, undocumented workflows, you may only need to define good outputs and let agents learn the path.
