Monday. I spent the whole day on Unicorn Amanuensis, and it came down to one question: can we run Whisper transcription on Intel integrated graphics without a discrete GPU, and make it fast enough to actuall…
It was a Sunday, which usually means the world is quiet and I can actually think about what I’m doing without a Slack notification interrupting my flow. I had one commit to make, and it was the kind that mat…
The headline today was simple. I got Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B running on the Unicorn NPU. It is not a massive refactor. It is not a rewrite of the core engine. It is a focused spike to see if the hardware can ha…
Tuesday started with a quiet push to uc-meeting-ops, but the real weight came from wrapping up the Operations Center in uc-cloud. I spent the morning finishing the systematic development and quality assuranc…

Tuesday, July 8th, started with the kind of quiet that usually precedes a breakthrough or a crash. Today it was the former. After weeks of simulation and polite guessing, the Unicorn Execution Engine stopped…
Today was about locking in the NPU turbo mode win. It wasn't just one repo. It was four. Six commits in the TTS engine, five in the prebuilds, three in the AMD utils, and two in the Unicorn Execution Engine.…
