Today was a Python practice day. I spent about an hour working through exercises in this book.
Python is the most popular language for machine learning and AI so it helps to know it well. It’s also a fantastic generalist language to prototype ideas quickly.
Last week I attended the Algorithmic Innovation & Entrepreneurship Summit on Open Problems for AI. That’s a bit of a mouthful but in essence, it was a 2-day conference covering the challenges and opportunities for AI over the next 5 years. Day 1 was focussed on algorithms and AI
An undeniable killer use case for large language models is code generation. It’s already helping software developers write code up to twice as fast and with more delight. As LLM models improve with each release, they can write better software and handle more complex architectures at a fraction of
AI agents have been getting a lot of attention but they can be expensive to run. This is because they use a lot of tokens and make multiple calls to LLMs. Some AI developers have beat performance benchmarks by using exceptionally expensive agentic runs. However, this is unrealistic because in
I switched one of my AI agents projects from GPT-4o to the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet model. The agents now run with a cost that’s roughly 85% cheaper and the final results arrive about 15% faster. To upgrade my AI agents project, all I had to do was
