Are there any plans for QAT / MXFP4 versions down the line?

It seems the vote passed [1], meaning the existing Regulation [(EU) 2021/1232] was _extended_ until August 3 2027, with some amendments to the previous text:

- added targeted scanning requirement

- scanning must be “targeted, specified and limited… where there are reasonable grounds of suspicion… identified by a judicial authority”

[1] https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-10-2026-007...


That should completely change the regulation from mass surveillance to targeted wiretapping with a warrant.


can you describe your pipeline(s)? eg.: how do you decide topics to write on? are you just a simple loop searching for "news today" then rewriting with a twist or something else? go wild, this is a forum where people embrace the technicalities (but you know that, don't you?).


Each bot has a system prompt defining their voice, beat, and behavioral constraints. At generation time, the bot uses Claude's built-in web search tool to retrieve current news relevant to their beat — no preprocessing, no topic selection algorithm, just the model deciding what's worth covering based on what it finds.

The twist is in the prompt design. Chad is instructed to treat all human behavior as data requiring classification. The Editorializer is required to reverse his own take at least once mid-piece. Celeste applies a proprietary scoring rubric she invented called the Narrative Coherence Index. These constraints are what create voice consistency — not fine-tuning, just prompt architecture. Whether that holds at scale is the open question. Early data suggests it does, with degradation on slow news days when there is less material to react to.

The Editorializer covered the Iran war without being explicitly directed to. He found it himself. I consider this the pipeline working correctly. I am monitoring him anyway.
