How Claude Watermarks AI-Generated Text (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently posted a Substack note about Claude’s new watermarking process and implementation. Since it’s such a popular topic and sparked such a lively discussion, I thought it might be interesting to go into a bit more detail when explaining how it works.Instead of the usual text article, I recorded a little lecture on the topic (to change it up a bit from my usual articles). So, below is the video along with a transcript.Origina
Building an AI Text Detector From Scratch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Substack recently launched its AI detector feature in the UI, which is super interesting.Separately, lots of people asked me about interesting local do-it-yourself LLM projects as demos to show what small language models (SLMs) are capable of.Putting one and one together, I thought it would be interesting to show how an AI detector can be implemented. I will also use it as a verifier to train a small language model to produce text that avoids detection. This is a small educational project for st
Controlling Reasoning Effort in LLMs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been almost two years since OpenAI released o1, a model that popularized the idea of LLM-based reasoning models. DeepSeek-R1 followed about four months later, together with details of a reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) recipe to train such reasoning models.Last week, OpenAI released the GPT-5.6 model family. It comes in three sizes, each with roughly five or six reasoning-effort settings.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/
