Real Atlassian solutions to real problems — no fluff, no SEO spam.
Multi-token prediction is merged in llama.cpp and still an open PR in mlx-lm. I measured both on an M3 Ultra with the same model. Every default MTP setting was slower than no MTP at all, and the runtime that deletes the MTP head outright is still the fastest thing on the box.

You swapped the app password for an API token and Bitbucket still says app passwords are deprecated. The token is not the problem and neither are its scopes. Git is re-sending the dead credential because git only erases a stored credential on a 401, and the status code Bitbucket chose for this is 410. I measured which codes clear a credential and which do not, on git 2.50.1, against both the store helper and the macOS keychain.

Ant Group's 124B/5.1B-active hybrid-linear MoE hit Hugging Face on 2 August. The memory arithmetic fits a 96 GB Mac with room to spare, and mlx-lm still refuses it. I counted exactly which tensors block it — 385 of 62,237 — then measured what that sparsity actually buys on the models that do run.

A rule reads a dropdown answer off a Jira form, runs clean, logs no error, and leaves the field empty. Two things are wrong and both are in the rule rather than the log. Here is the mechanism, the full field-type mapping, and the check that decides whether any of it applies to you: there are two unrelated features called Forms and only one of them automation can see.

I wrote my own Agent Client Protocol client, ran the same bug-fix fourteen times, and logged every frame. The agent never once touched my client's filesystem — and inside the working directory, the editor's permission dialog never sees a read at all.

I quantised real Qwen3-Coder weights both ways on an M3 Ultra. MXFP8 reconstructs them about 10x worse than 8-bit affine at identical size — and then costs only 1% perplexity end to end. Both numbers are true, and the gap between them is the interesting part.

App passwords are removed on 28 July 2026, and in the final week they were already dark 20 hours out of every 24. Here is the failure signature, the three different usernames nobody can keep straight, why swapping in a token often changes nothing, and the reason almost no team can tell you who is still affected.

Three weeks after the swarm shipped its first honest builds, the work stopped being about making small local models smarter and became about making them stop lying to me. Here is what 602 commits bought, what the desktop looks like now, and the three defects I found in my own honesty machinery while writing this post.
