Hi, everyone. This is Gwen- an engineer at Tokenbay. I work on building OpenAI-compatible gateways that help teams evaluate and switch between multiple LLM providers without rewriting their apps. On Hashnode, I’ll share practical engineering notes on routing, testing, cost/latency tradeoffs, and how
Most teams don’t plan on running multi-model setups from day one. They start with one provider because it’s simple: one integration, one API key, one billing page, and one set of model names. The shift usually comes later—once production pressure shows up. Some tasks need stronger reasoning, some us
Ensuring reliable electricity for AI-focused data centres has become a strategic priority, underscored in China's 2026 government work report released earlier this year, which pledged stronger integration between computing infrastructure and power supply networks.
Founded in 2024, BioCompute is developing DNA-based data storage technology that converts digital data into synthetic DNA sequences, enabling ultra-dense, energy-efficient storage capable of archiving vast amounts of information in a tiny physical footprint.
Readers have always judged books by their covers. And when covers start looking like they're the result of a handful of prompts instead of well thought out creative briefs, the concerns are multifold. Readers begin to question the originality of the text, the designer's skill in shaping curiosity ra
Known as Weixin in China, the super app has made the new AI assistant available to a small number of users, according to a statement from WeChat on Monday. Users are able to interact with the service, named Xiaowei, via text or voice, and the tool can help them complete various tasks by tapping into
The90 Gem can track your sunscreen timing and daily UV load.

Certification is the kind of work most people never think about until it holds something up. Before a regulator grants a permit, a buyer pays a premium, or an investor releases capital, somebody has to confirm that a claim is true, and for decades that somebody has done it slowly, by hand, sampling
For a quarter of a century, the most valuable company in South Korea was Samsung Electronics, and the question was never really open. On Wednesday it became open, and then it closed the other way. SK Hynix, the smaller of the country’s two memory-chip makers, passed Samsung in market capitalisation
WeChat is the rare app that already does almost everything. Chinese users message, pay, book, shop, and summon a taxi without ever leaving it, which is exactly what makes Tencent’s next move interesting: rather than build a separate chatbot and fight for downloads, it is putting an AI assistant on t
ChirpAPI vs Twitter Developer Portal: A Practical Comparison June 12, 20269 min read If you need to post tweets programmatically, you have two real options: go through the official Twitter Developer Portal, or use an alternative API like ChirpAPI. This is not a marketing pitch — it's a practical bre
I was considering a small Shopify returns/exchange idea. Before sketching features, I did a deliberately boring check: Open 4 returns/exchange apps. Read the low-star reviews. Compare repeated complaints with Shopify's native returns features. Decide what not to build first. The result was not a bet
The future of software security is not automated; it is collaborative. For years, the development community has treated artificial intelligence as a passive tool—an advanced calculator or a basic code generator. This mindset limits what we can achieve. To unlock the true potential of decentralized s
Most AI cost tooling is an autopsy. It tells you, in detail, what you already spent — token counts, per-call traces, a I ran into this building agent tooling. Once I had more than a couple of agents hitting paid APIs on a schedule, two Problem 1: observability is not control Watching spend and stopp
I sat through a vendor demo last month where a "next-generation AI marketing platform" promised to 10x our content output. I asked one question: "What's actually happening when I click Generate?" The answer, after some squirming, was a POST request to gpt-4, a prompt template with our brand name str
I recently built Soccer DNA, a soccer personality quiz that turns match decisions into a personalized soccer profile. Instead of asking abstract personality questions, the app puts users into realistic match situations and asks what they would actually do on the pitch. After answering 30 scenarios,
A quick one I built recently. Stick drift — when an analog stick reports input while it's sitting centred — is the most common way a game controller dies, and it turns out you can detect it from a web page with no native code at all, thanks to the Gamepad API. So I made a free tool that does exactly
Astro Islands Architecture: When to Use Partial Hydration I've shipped enough full SPAs to know their dirty secret: they're overly expensive for most websites. A marketing site doesn't need React hydrating a footer. A documentation portal doesn't need Vue managing a navigation bar. Astro's Islands a
You know the drill. You bump package.json, update the CHANGELOG, run the tests, push the tag — and then someone opens a bug report six hours later because the latest entry in CHANGELOG.md still says 1.3.1. It's not a bug in your code. It's a release metadata mismatch. And it happens way more often t
