GNAP vs OAuth 2.0: Is RFC 9635 Ready for Production?

GNAP (the Grant Negotiation and Authorization Protocol, RFC 9635, published October 2024 by Justin Richer and Fabien Imbault) is a new delegation protocol, not an OAuth 2.0 extension. Instead of a redirect with client_id and scope, the client POSTs a JSON document describing what access it wants, how the user can be reached and which key it will sign with. Production readiness is the open question: the protocol is a Proposed Standard, but I could not find evidence of a mainstream identity provid

Getting MTP to actually work on Apple Silicon

Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 ship with a small extra prediction head bundled into the model. The literature calls it MTP, short for Multi-Token Prediction. The point of having it is to use the head as a draft model for speculative decoding: it spits out K candidate tokens fast, and the main model verifies all K in one parallel forward pass. When the head's guesses turn out to match what the main model would have produced anyway, you get those tokens essentially free. We expected this to be a straightforw

The biggest modding site in PC gaming is taking a stance on AI

The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods is making disclosures about AI mandatory for uploads of new mods, meaning that mod authors will have to declare "whether AI has been used in their work," the site announced today as part of a big post about AI-generated content on the platform. "One of the most consistent concerns we've heard is that it's not clearly disclosed when AI has been used to create a mod," according to the post from site owner Victor "Foledinho" Folmann. "We already have tags fo

AI Gateway - Route across a pool of models with model aliases

AI Gateway now supports model aliases. A model alias is a pool of models that your application calls by one name, such as custom/support-fast. AI Gateway tries the models in the order you set and falls back to the next one if a request fails, or uses smart routing to choose a model for each request. Because your application only references the alias, you can swap models or change the routing algorithm on your gateway without redeploying. Create and manage aliases on your gateway's Routing page,

Isolation policies now support a third keyboard option in beta: Allow read-only actions. Previously, the keyboard setting was binary — allow all input or block everything. With Allow read-only actions, you can block data entry while preserving the built-in browser actions your users depend on. In Allow read-only actions mode, users can still find in page, select all, copy, print, and zoom. All other keyboard input is blocked from reaching the isolated page.
