How to Evaluate LLMs Without Opening Your Wallet

A new mock-based framework lets QA and automation folks stress-test LLM outputs - no API calls, no surprise charges. It runs entirely local, usingpytest fixtures, structured test flows, and JSON schema checks to keep things tight. Test logic stays modular. Cross-validation’s baked in. And if you nee.. read more

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

A former NASA engineer - now a Google Cloud AI infra alum - rips apart the idea of building GPU datacenters in orbit. His verdict: space is a terrible server rack. Power delivery? A nightmare. Heat dissipation? Worse in a vacuum. Radiation? Frying time. Even a 200kW solar rig (think ISS-sized) could.. read more
