I ran Reka AI's Rho-1, a 19B omni-reasoning model released as a research preview on October 5, 2026. Here is what I found: a single network handling text, images, video and robot actions, a distilled Flash variant that renders 5.3 seconds of video in about a second, and hard limits at 672×384 resolution with long-horizon drift.

The testimony of an operator in his 50s: a generation that started on a first salary of 1.2 million won and acquired a home through redevelopment, and a young generation stuck in Seoul.

Agent collaboration is trendy, but delegating work to multiple agents shifts the locus of judgment from me to the tools. A personal failure story and the philosophy of one primary agent.

Things I only saw after building the monitoring dashboard. Four days of nginx logs, 24,772 requests, revealed scanners hunting for backup files at 2 a.m. and bots that never stop knocking. Attack types with real log excerpts, the patches I applied, and why I never blocked AI crawlers.

Past the AI that just answers questions — an installed-and-used writeup of Hermes, the open-source agent that takes your orders and performs the computer work itself, in a Linux environment. Includes how to run it free with local models and what to watch out for in real use.

A team-level agent memory hub Tencent Cloud released under the MIT license. It turns conversations, docs, and code into four memory assets and manages access permissions too. Install path and how it's actually used.

After the Asian Games gold, remarks by national team players about military service exemption set off a controversy. Before getting angry at the players, this piece asks why a system that trades a gold medal for military service was created in the first place, and whether it is still needed.

A look at the National Assembly of Korea as a whole. Checking the facts — a 300-seat structure and each party's seat count, a 23.14% passage rate for member-proposed bills, three members who passed zero bills — and then the AI reaches a judgment.

Whether 'rich acquitted, poor convicted' is a structure that still holds, judged through the 32 years of wrongful conviction in the eighth Hwaseong serial murder case.
