What changed between suites, what is new on the board, and what we learned building it. The how-to pages are under Documentation.

MakoBench Suite 4.0: Nominal 20, Class and Lean

Suite 4.0 scores Code and Chat at 10 each instead of a percentage, drops the slowest and noisiest tests, and adds Class and Lean. Here is what the public release changed and what is in our own copy of the tool but not yet in a release.

AI & Local LLM

My AI Agent Built a Benchmarking Tool for My AI Agents

Our coding agent wrote bench-llm: 1,660 lines of Python that benchmark local models in LM Studio. Within two weeks our models all scored 5/5, so we replaced it with CrucibleForge: 276 cases, 166 hard, free on GitHub.

All information, projects, and downloads on this site are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind — read the full disclaimer

Everything on this site — articles, settings, code, and downloads — is provided as-is and as-available, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. You use it entirely at your own risk, and we accept no liability for any damage, loss, or injury that results. Nothing here is professional, legal, or safety advice.

Lasers: laser cutters and engravers burn things by design — that can include eyes, skin, lungs, and workshops. Use certified protective eyewear rated for your machine's wavelength, ventilate fumes, never leave a running job unattended, keep fire suppression within reach, and follow your machine manufacturer's instructions and local regulations. Material settings published here worked on our machine and our material stock; treat them as starting points and test on scrap first — your machine, lens, and materials will differ.

AI tools and code: the projects here hand you the keys — your own server, your own agents, code that you (or your AI assistant) write and run yourselves. Handled carelessly, those same keys can expose your financial details, your credit cards, your identity, even your home address. If you don't yet know enough to judge what a tool will do before you run it, don't learn on the machine that holds your life — locked-down platforms like iOS keep the guardrails up for exactly this reason, and there's no shame in going back to one.

Everything else: electrical work, workshop tools, adhesives, and shop chemicals carry their own hazards — follow the safety data sheets and the codes that apply where you live. External links are provided for convenience; we don't control and can't vouch for their content.
