An MRI of the dragon’s brain
I wrote about my motivations and goals for Ninereeds and introduced the architecture of the model, what makes it different from transformers and why. Since I posted those, I finished the training material (as far as training material can be considered finished for a model that’s not researched properly yet) and ran training on it.…
The Dragon Who Knows That He Knows Nothing
In my last post, I wrote that I’d explain my goals and my reasons, and I think I’ll start with a detour and talk about AI alignment first. AI might become a lot more intelligent than us, with extremely high capacity and a clock speed that far exceeds human brains. Its architecture makes it ideal…
How the Baby Dragon Thinks (And Why It’s Not a Transformer)
Preface In my last post, I announced that I’m about to train an AI model that’s “not a Transformer”, and I’d like to explain what I meant with that here in this posting. I’ll explain what a transformer is (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Deepseek, and so on). Just to clear up one thing before I…
AI Doesn’t Have to Be a God in a Server Rack
I’ve been annoyed by the state AI is in for a while now. Many things seem wrong to me, and I’ll try to sort my thoughts here before I explain what I’m doing in the space right now. This posting here will start a series of posts about a topic I’m calling “Ninereeds / BDH…
Writingway 1+2 Updates
I didn’t look at Writingway for a long time now, after getting it into the shape I wanted. While I had some things in the back of my head, I was busy with other things and didn’t even look at the repos (Issues, PRs) on Github anymore. Yeah, that’s not what you should do if…
So what am I currently up to?
The last project I was working on was Control Room, a complete environment for novel creation end-to-end: from initial idea to final draft, utilising a team of agents that form a writing team. Basically, a writer’s room simulation as an application. So, where is it, then? The program is in an advanced state, and the…
Control Room: Design Philosophy
Managing a complex creative project often feels like wrestling with chaos. We juggle sprawling plotlines, intricate character arcs, and waves of feedback, all while our digital tools, a fragmented ecosystem of documents, chat apps, and task managers, add to the cognitive load rather than alleviating it. But what if we designed our tools not just…
Writing Apps, AI, and the Future of Creative Tools
Writing has never been easier. We can dictate novels into phones, collaborate across continents, edit anywhere. And yet most aspiring writers never finish a book. Few write a second. Why? Because technology solved the wrong problems. We got spell-check and cloud sync, but the hard parts—staying disciplined, keeping the story straight in your head, the…
Writingway 2 – Now Plug-and-Play
Writingway 2: What’s different? So if you’ve been following my AI writing stuff, you know I’ve been making tools for writers. The first Writingway worked great, but getting it set up was a pain in the ass if you weren’t super tech-savvy. That’s why I’m stoked to finally show you Writingway 2: It’s basically a…
Writingway, another update
First things first:- To install the program, unpack it into any directory and execute setup_writingway.bat- To start it after installation, execute start.bat You only need to set it up once. The setup creates a virtual environment that installs everything the program needs to run. Writingway now has a new options menu and a text analysis…
