Day 64 of 100 Days of AI

One of the best things I did last year was to get into Python programming. I want to get better at it, and so will continue to build side projects with it. For example, today I automated something that could take many hours to process and instead, I got a number of LLM api calls to do it for me. Time saved!

I also finally completed the AI Agents course.

This weekend I’ll explore a few projects I could build and share publicly with the knowledge I have so far.

Open Problems (& Opportunities) for AI: Summary Notes from the Conference

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

The Software Engineer is Dead, Long Live the Software Engineer!

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
