You Can’t Improve AI Agents If You Don’t Measure Them
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. This agent-eval Framework Runs Controlled Experiments on Your Codebase I’ve watched teams add MCP servers to their projects, rewrite documentation for AI agents, or switch from Sonnet to Opus — and then have no …
GLM-5 Runs a Vending Machine Business for a Year and Finishes With $4,432
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. That’s the Benchmark for Agentic Engineering I’ve tested dozens of coding assistants that can write functions, fix bugs, and refactor code. Most fail spectacularly when you ask them to complete multi-day projects — they …
This ASR Actually Handles 52 Languages
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. And the Forced Alignment Model Is the Interesting Part I’ve tested dozens of speech recognition models over the time. Most claim multilingual support but quietly fall apart when you give them actual Chinese dialects, …
AI Agents Are Stuck in the Terminal
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. Smooth Gives Them a Browser They Can Actually Use I’ve watched Agents autonomously refactor entire codebases, write test suites, and debug complex systems. But ask it to check a flight price on Google Flights? …
The AI Coding Paradox: Why Writing Software Just Got Easier While the Ecosystem Became Fragile
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. New research suggests vibe coding could collapse open source by severing the engagement loop that sustains maintainers — unless we redesign how OSS gets funded I’ve watched the adoption curves for AI coding tools …
DeepSeek’s Engram: The Missing Primitive That Makes LLMs Stop Wasting Compute on Memory
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. The Problem Nobody Noticed On January 13th, DeepSeek dropped a research paper that’s been making waves in the LLM community: “Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large Language Models.” …
I Built a Voice Assistant That Actually Understands What I Mean, Not What I Said
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. Three months of building. $347 in API costs. A voice assistant that couldn’t tell the difference between “What’s ML?” and machine learning. Then I found Qdrant. Response times dropped from 12 seconds to under …
Google Just Launched a Protocol That Could Change E-Commerce Forever
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. Google Just Launched a Protocol That Could Change E-Commerce Forever Last Sunday at the National Retail Federation conference, Google announced the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), an open-source standard designed to power the next generation …
UIUC Built a Routing Library for LLMs That Supports 16+ Strategies (From KNN to Multi-Round RL)
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. UIUC Built a Routing Library for LLMs That Supports 16+ Strategies (From KNN to Multi-Round RL) I’ve built applications that call multiple LLM APIs, and there’s this constant optimization problem: simple queries waste money …
TTS LATENCY JUST DIED: This One Generates Perfect Speech in ONE STEP (10X Faster Than ElevenLabs)
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. How This Open-Source Voice Agent Model Kills the 10-Step TTS Bottleneck Forever — Real-Time Conversations Under 200ms with Natural Laughter, Coughs & Zero-Shot Voice Cloning I’ve worked with text-to-speech models for voice agents, and …
IBM Just Gave Away Its $2M AI Secret: The MCP Gateway That Actually Works (Your Competitors Are Already Using It)
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. How One Open-Source Tool Federates 50+ AI Servers, Wraps Any REST API as an MCP Tool, and Slashes Deployment Time from Weeks to 60 Seconds — Without Touching a Single Line of Legacy Code …
Claude Just Broke Bioinformatics
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. Anthropic’s secret plugin marketplace lets AI auto-search PubMed, analyze single-cell data, and generate publication-ready figures — no more switching tabs. (And it’s already live.) If you’ve used Claude Code for bioinformatics or research, you’ve …
Tencent Built a Billion-Parameter Model That Generates 3D Motion From Text
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. And It’s the First to Scale DiT This Far I’ve watched text-to-motion generation struggle with the same problem for years: models either understand prompts decently but generate stiff, unnatural movement, or they produce smooth …
This Python Package Makes Differentiable Physics Simulations Practical
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. It’s from NVIDIA, it's not CUDA I’ve spent way too long fighting with CUDA just to prototype a simple physics simulation. You either hand-roll low-level kernels in C++ — which breaks your Python workflow …
Alibaba’s Voice AI Runs at 5Hz and Still Beats 25Hz Models
Author(s): Gowtham Boyina Originally published on Towards AI. The Voice AI Compute Problem Most large audio language models process speech at 12.5Hz or 25Hz frame rates — 12.5 to 25 audio features per second. Higher frame rates capture more detail but require …
