### [Modal is expanding in Europe with our new London office](https://yomu.fyi/post/modal-is-expanding-in-europe-with-our-new-london-office.md)
- Company: [Modal](https://yomu.fyi/company/modal.md)
- Published: Sep 2, 2026
- Type: Announcement

Modal is expanding in Europe with a new London office, its second in the region, representing a larger investment in the area. The company already has nearly 20 engineers in Stockholm who built core parts of Modal, including its custom file system and Sandboxes product. Hugh Killingbeck-Jones joins as VP EMEA to lead go-to-market teams in London, which the company considers the AI capital of Europe. European AI-native companies like Black Forest Labs and Legora, as well as global platforms like DoorDash, run on Modal for tasks such as model evaluation and agent testing. The company is hiring across sales, engineering, and other roles in London and Stockholm, and plans meetups across EMEA.


### [How Botika runs full-stack generative AI on Modal](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-botika-runs-full-stack-generative-ai-on-modal.md)
- Company: [Modal](https://yomu.fyi/company/modal.md)
- Published: Sep 2, 2026
- Type: Problem & solution

Botika builds agentic e-commerce teams that automate visual production for global fashion brands, using proprietary foundation models and a 100-terabyte image dataset. The company runs its entire full-stack AI operation on Modal, with the data pipeline processing 100 terabytes at less than 1% error rate across thousands of containers. Before Modal, the team struggled with Kubernetes fleet management and slow GCP Batch jobs; now a single researcher can launch 50 experiments daily using Claude, and they set up reinforcement learning infrastructure in less than a day. Modal handles autoscaling, cold starts, and multi-node training with RDMA, allowing Botika to double traffic in seconds, and they serve about 15 models on L4s, L40S, A100s, and H100s. The infrastructure is not Modal-specific, enabling the team to run open-source and custom frameworks without modification.


### [BenchMIRT: What are LLM benchmarks actually measuring?](https://yomu.fyi/post/benchmirt-what-are-llm-benchmarks-actually-measuring.md)
- Company: [Hugging Face](https://yomu.fyi/company/hugging-face.md)
- Author: Kyle Wiggers
- Published: Sep 1, 2026
- Type: Benchmark

BenchMIRT is a method for auditing LLM benchmarks at the individual-prompt level, where questions may measure capabilities beyond a benchmark’s stated goal. It applies multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) to model and question results, estimating model abilities plus each item’s difficulty and discrimination across dimensions. Trained on 100 LLMs, 16 benchmarks, and more than 34K questions, it independently recovered safety and general reasoning as dominant dimensions, repeatedly producing the same result. The analysis found, for example, that BBQ and WMDP aligned more strongly with reasoning than safety, while HarmBench combined safety- and reasoning-associated question groups; retaining 10% of items generally preserved capability rankings, and held-out correctness prediction reached 79% versus 70% for a baseline. BenchMIRT’s dimensions depend on the benchmark set, and its item-level transparency can also enable evaluation trimming.


### [How Claude's text watermarking works](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-claude-s-text-watermarking-works.md)
- Company: [Anthropic](https://yomu.fyi/company/anthropic.md)
- Published: Sep 1, 2026
- Type: Explainer

Anthropic describes a text-watermarking system planned for Claude to estimate whether Claude was involved in generating or processing text, primarily to comply with the EU AI Act. The method uses a key and preceding words to influence the source of randomness in low-stakes word choices, creating a detectable pattern without adding characters, tokens, identifying information, or extra cost. Anthropic says internal testing found no impact on content, creativity, readability, or perceived quality, while detection confidence improves with longer passages and weakens when text offers few valid alternatives, such as factual statements, proofreading, or code. The watermark can indicate only that Claude was likely involved, not whether text was human-written, who authored it, or which person or organization used Claude; light editing may not remove it, but a complete rewrite will.


### [Building an Adaptive Agentic Cybersecurity System with NVIDIA Nemotron](https://yomu.fyi/post/building-an-adaptive-agentic-cybersecurity-system-with-nvidia-nemotron.md)
- Company: [NVIDIA](https://yomu.fyi/company/nvidia-developer-blog.md)
- Author: Michelle Horton
- Published: Sep 1, 2026
- Type: Explainer

NVIDIA and CrowdStrike describe an agentic cybersecurity system that links red-agent attack execution with blue-agent detection engineering in a continuous offense-defense testing loop. In an isolated environment modeled on NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure, Falcon sensors captured telemetry while Nemotron 3 Ultra orchestrated the defensive workflow and a customized Nemotron 3 Super generated or repaired detections. The harness grounded agents in sensor schemas and attack traces, then applied linting, replay, structured correction, and independent review before deployment. Backtesting raised mean detection of the recorded attack from 16.5% to 41.9% with the optimized open pipeline across independently seeded sessions. In live-fire tests, five of 11 open detections detected an unseen attack, three qualified as gold, and those three covered all eight attacks; the authors call the result a directional case study because it used one scenario family and limited benign traffic.


### [Becoming an AI Team](https://yomu.fyi/post/becoming-an-ai-team.md)
- Company: [Pinterest](https://yomu.fyi/company/pinterest.md)
- Author: Pinterest Engineering
- Published: Sep 1, 2026
- Type: Explainer

Becoming an AI team requires more than adding assistants to existing workflows: it changes ownership, planning, roles, and execution. At Pinterest, infrastructure teams face the scale of serving billions of Pins, boards, ads, and real-time signals, making AI adoption an operational necessity for reliability, cost efficiency, and developer productivity. AI code-generation and transformation models can turn a widespread legacy-codebase refactor, such as replacing “foo” with “bar,” from a months-long effort into work completed and verified in a week or less. As routine execution is increasingly augmented or automated, engineers, product managers, and designers are expected to spend more time on strategy, problem definition, and user validation, while managers emphasize vision, trade-offs, mentorship, and collective impact. The conclusion is that teams must continuously optimize an AI-driven operating system rather than treat AI as a side project.


### [The new Brickbuilder Partner Network tiers for ISVs and Data Providers are here](https://yomu.fyi/post/the-new-brickbuilder-partner-network-tiers-for-isvs-and-data-providers.md)

### [How to disclose AI to customers without killing the conversation](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-to-disclose-ai-to-customers-without-killing-the-conversation.md)
- Company: [Twilio](https://yomu.fyi/company/twilio.md)
- Author: Jesse Sumrak
- Published: Sep 1, 2026
- Type: Tutorial

Customer service teams may avoid disclosing AI because they fear customers will leave, but the post argues that unclear or delayed disclosure creates more frustration than honesty. It recommends a short first-turn greeting that says “AI,” explains what the agent can do, and offers an immediate route to a human, with renewed disclosure when a conversation moves to SMS or voice. Web chat, SMS, and voice examples show how to pair disclosure with an exit, while voice should disclose before the caller explains the issue and leave a pause. The post identifies burying the disclosure, using ambiguous labels, apologizing, over-explaining, and omitting escalation as failure modes. It proposes checking Twilio Conversation Intelligence transcripts alongside containment and escalation rates to assess wording changes, citing research on customer expectations and bypass behavior.


### [What is an AI Copilot?](https://yomu.fyi/post/what-is-an-ai-copilot.md)
- Company: [Databricks](https://yomu.fyi/company/databricks.md)
- Author: Databricks Staff
- Published: Aug 28, 2026
- Type: Explainer

An AI copilot is an assistant embedded in a software application that uses workflow context to offer suggestions, generated content, or approved actions while keeping the human in control. Unlike a standalone chatbot, it combines an LLM with contextual grounding, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), access to enterprise data, and action layers that can call APIs, execute code, trigger workflows, or update records. The explainer surveys code, productivity, data and analytics, customer-facing, and domain-specific copilots, including uses such as SQL generation, dashboard creation, email drafting, and case summarization. Reported benefits include faster routine work, broader data access, more consistent outputs, and less context switching; a cited GitHub study found Copilot users completed a controlled coding task 55% faster. It also stresses hallucinations, privacy, bias, overreliance, integration complexity, cost, and the requirement for human review, governance, and accountability.
