How it works: 6 cards, about 2 minutes, from this Drop's news. Your streak lives only on this device. It's not legal advice.

  1. Card 1 of 6Models

    Your bank wants to send fraud case files to a managed model. The vendor's client checks attestation and refuses to send if it fails. Legal hasn't reviewed it yet.

    You're the one who signs off. What's the call?

    Answer: Needs a human.

    Verify, then review

    Cohere says Model Vault's client refuses to send data if attestation fails, but also that confidential computing does not replace compliance, contractual controls or application security. Someone still signs off.

    From the Drop: Cohere puts confidential computing on Model Vault into public beta

    Answer: Needs a human.

    Human in the loop

    In Databricks' accelerator, the Genie agent recommends approve, deny or escalate, and analysts work a review queue. The design keeps a person on the decision.

  3. Card 3 of 6Laws

    Answer: Needs a human.

    Test before prod

    GPU-unlock's README cites user reports of prefill up 14–36%, but says gains are user-reported and not directly comparable. Test it and have someone own the change first.

    From the Drop: GPU-unlock doubles BF16 issue rate on Nvidia 3000-series cards, its README says

  6. Card 6 of 6Repos

    Before shipping a prompt change to your AI phone agent, you run it locally against a simulated AI caller and it passes.

    Answer: Ship it.

    Test every change

    Lampline's description says it tests every change with an AI caller on your own computer. Testing each change before launch is the point.
