Groundy — independent coverage of developer tools, infrastructure, and platforms
DeepSeek V4 Cache Discounts, Not Peak-Valley Pricing, Shape Cost Decisions
DeepSeek V4 has no peak-valley pricing. The real lever is a fiftyfold cache discount and hard concurrency caps that force teams to optimize for prefix reuse before July 24.
devtoolsVite+ Beta: MIT-Licensed Now, Paid Tier Later
Vite+ beta ships as MIT-licensed open source with unified toolchain commands and enterprise templates, but VoidZero deferred commercial tier pricing until the 1.0 release.
Stochastic Dominance Reveals Where RLHF Safety Filters Hide Tail Risk
Standard Safe RLHF optimizes for average harm reduction, leaving rare catastrophic outputs hidden in the tail. Stochastic dominance forces teams to bound the entire harm.
devtoolsVercel's Agentic Infrastructure Push Outpaces Pricing Transparency
Vercel is building isolated execution environments for agent workloads, but without published capacity or pricing, teams cannot compare the platform against AWS Fargate or.
ossBox3D Launches as Open-Source 3D Physics Engine
Box2D author Erin Catto released Box3D, a C17 open-source 3D physics engine backed by his day job at Kintsugiyama, giving game developers a credible alternative to Nvidia's.
modelsVLA Grounder Tests Language Conditioning to Optimize Black-Box Vision-Action Models
VLA Grounder shows frozen vision-language-action models improve when language is an optimizable input. Success rates increased from 12.6% to 38.7% for pi0 and 24.4% to 63.9%.
devtoolsCursor iOS Privacy Migration Shows Why Mobile IDEs Can't Be Audited
Cursor's iOS app migrated users to a new privacy mode without consent, exposing how iOS sandbox design prevents developers from auditing or reversing what mobile IDEs do with.
modelsBlack-Box LLM Architecture Inference: What API Restrictions Reveal About Hidden Model Structure
NightVision recovers transformer hidden dimension to within 23% error using only single logprob output and timing, proving API restrictions meant to protect model IP instead.
