# Fine-Tuning Language Models on Apple Silicon with MLX Fine-tuning a language model used to mean renting cloud GPUs and watching the meter run. If you own a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip, you can now adapt an open model to your own data locally, at zero cloud cost, using a framework built specifically …

Making computer use safe in 3.5 Flash To mitigate some of the prompt injection risks for agents operating in live environments, we use targeted adversarial training for computer use in Gemini 3.5 Flash. We’re also releasing two optional enterprise safeguard systems that enable enterprises to: Require explicit user confirmation for sensitive or irreversible actions. Automatically …
All code used in this article is available on GitHub. The business logic and modeling functions are located in the src/selection directory, specifically in the following file: src/modeling/score_computation.py The corresponding analysis and results are documented in: 09_score_computation.qmd The images, tables, and charts were generated with the help of the Codex coding assistant. , your credit score follows you …

# Introduction Local coding models are finally getting serious. I have been a big fan of this new wave of local large language models (LLMs), especially the open models and community GGML Universal File (GGUF) releases that make them easier to run on consumer hardware. We are now at a point where some of these …
my series on Outlier Detection. In this article, we look at working with categorical data. Generally when performing outlier detection with tabular data, we start by converting the data so that it is either entirely categorical or entirely numeric. There are some exceptions, but for the most part this is necessary: most outlier detection algorithms …
# Introduction Focusing only on SELECT, WHERE, and GROUP BY is enough for basic aggregation, but many real analytical tasks require patterns that go beyond simple queries. Examples include detecting consecutive activity streaks, segmenting customers by spend tier, smoothing noisy time-series data, or tracing plan upgrade paths across rows. This article walks through 7 practical …

Introduction , AI examples of data engineering revolve around one thing: fixing a pipeline. An engineer opens up Claude Code, pastes some logs, and a pull request is made. Semantics are fundamental here. Because when people say “self-healing” what they mean is “self-managing”. The key to success in AI is not defined by manual intervention …

# Introduction I know that when beginners start learning machine learning, things seem easy at first. You follow a tutorial that asks you to load a dataset, train a model, and then you see something like this: loss = “mse” or criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss(). And just like that, the tutorial starts talking about equations, gradients, …

AI has the potential to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges — not just in the digital realm, but in the physical world, too. Robotics is one of the most exciting frontiers of AI, where advances in language, vision and action models can help create intelligent machines that interact with the real world …
says “this customer’s probability of leaving is 0.4” and your code does predict(X) >= 0.5, you have just made a pricing decision: you decided that the cost of sending a retention offer to a customer who would have stayed is exactly equal to the cost of losing one who would have left, and on the …
