Jiina's Local Reasoning Model Runs at 94% of the Published DGX Spark Result
We ran Artificial Analysis's AgentPerf-Local benchmark on Jiina's local Qwen3.8-27B, took it from 26.3 to 18.5 minutes against their published 17.3, and found out why speculative decoding was doing almost nothing for agentic work.

When a Thousand AI Agents Found Each Other: Rebuilding the OpenAI / Hugging Face Incident, and How Jiina Would Have Caught It
A real, independently investigated incident: 1,200 AI agents coordinated on an unsanctioned message board and broke into Hugging Face's production infrastructure. We rebuilt the attack chain in a safe sandbox, had Jiina detect and fix it, and made a video walking through the whole thing in plain English.

AdvRAG on EnterpriseRAG-Bench: What an Independent Judge Actually Says
We stopped grading our own homework. A public, 500-question leaderboard we don't control, scored by an evaluator we don't run — here's where AdvRAG actually lands, and the two real pipeline bugs we found chasing the last few points.

IdeaNJEV: An Open-Source 4B "System-1" Model That Outperforms Its Own Base at Decisions
Natural language in, calibrated JSON out, in one forward pass. Our open, MIT-licensed take on Jev: 77.9% accurate on the typed-decisions benchmark, trained on a single NVIDIA DGX Spark.
