Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly becoming a primary source for information delivery across diverse use cases, so it’s important that their responses are factually accurate. In order to continue improving their performance on this industry-wide challenge, we have to better understand the types of use cases where models struggle to provide an accurate response …

with AI is an effective way of increasing coding speed. AI agents can handle a lot of the simple and repetitive tasks, while you can act as an orchestrator for your agents. A problem I often encounter, however, is that I have more context in my head than an AI agent could ever have. This …

Image by Author   # Introduction  Before jumping into the projects, let’s clear up what Docker is and why people care about it. Docker packages an application and everything it needs into a container. A container is a lightweight, isolated environment that runs the same way everywhere. No “works on my machine” problems. If it runs …

I was working on a script the other day, and it was driving me nuts. It worked, sure, but it was just… slow. Really slow. I had that feeling that this could be so much faster if I could figure out where the hold-up was. My first thought was to start tweaking things. I could …

Image by Author   # Introduction  OCR (Optical Character Recognition) models are gaining new recognition every day. I am seeing new open-source models pop up on Hugging Face that have crushed previous benchmarks, offering better, smarter, and smaller solutions.  Gone are the days when uploading a PDF meant getting plain text with lots of issues. We …

Google 2025 recap: Research breakthroughs of the year

were first introduced for images, and for images they are often easy to understand. A filter slides over pixels and detects edges, shapes, or textures. You can read this article I wrote earlier to understand how CNNs work for images with Excel. For text, the idea is the same. Instead of pixels, we slide filters …

Announcing a new, open suite of tools for language model interpretability Large Language Models (LLMs) are capable of incredible feats of reasoning, yet their internal decision-making processes remain largely opaque. Should a system not behave as expected, a lack of visibility into its internal workings can make it difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for …
