Bridging Context Engineering in AI with Requirements Engineering
How Emerging AI Research Could Reinvent Context Scenarios in Software Design Hey there, fellow software enthusiasts! If you’re like me, you’ve probably spent countless hours crafting context scenarios to nail down requirements in software development projects. These narrative-driven descriptions of user interactions in specific situations provide a rock-solid foundation for understanding what a system really…

Transformers Are Injective: Why Your LLM Could Remember Everything (But Doesn’t)
The authors of “Language Models are Injective and Hence Invertible”, https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.15511, address a foundational question about transformer-based language models: do they lose information in the mapping from an input text sequence to their internal hidden activations? In more formal terms: is the model’s mapping injective (distinct inputs → distinct representations), and therefore potentially invertible (one…

“Personality” in a Machine: What Do We Mean?
When we say an LLM has a personality in coding, we don’t mean it’s conscious or has opinions — rather, that given the same prompt or scenario, different models tend to adopt different coding strategies, emphases, risk tolerances, and failure modes. One might favor readability over brevity; another might lean into fancy abstractions even when…

Two Protocols, Two Futures: OpenAI’s ACP vs. Anthropic’s MCP
Imagine this: It’s a Tuesday evening, and you’re buried in work. Your AI assistant notices your flight to New York got canceled due to a storm. Without missing a beat, it scans alternatives, books a new one on your credit card, coordinates a rideshare to the airport, and even reschedules your hotel— all while you…

Agentic Commerce, Explained: What OpenAI’s Agentic Commerce Protocol Means for Retail and SaaS
OpenAI has begun rolling out Instant Checkout inside ChatGPT for U.S. users, letting people buy products from participating merchants—starting with Etsy sellers, and with Shopify merchants “coming soon.” The system is powered by a new open standard called the Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), co-developed with Stripe and now open-sourced. It’s designed so an AI agent…
