Hot take – just like the Internet era, Google is leading the AI revolution. While there are many AI solutions out there, almost none of them integrate with the daily lives of users as deeply as Google’s AI ecosystem. Case in point: the tech giant has now partnered with PhysicsWallah and Career360 an...

Another year, another opportunity. For the nerdy ones, this is the right time to participate in some of the best hackathons that are out there. With hosts like Google DeepMind, Kaggle and Fractal having hackathons simultaneously, there is plenty of challenge on offer in 2026. Here you’ll find 5 of t...

Late last year, Google came up with a comprehensive plan to fix the current educational system for the better. How? Majorly with the help of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, in education. We had covered the plan in a detailed report at the time, which you can read here. Ever since, the tech giant’s A...

If you’ve worked with DeepSeek OCR, you already know it was efficient at extracting text and compressing documents. Where it often fell short was reading order and layout-heavy pages, multi-column PDFs, dense tables, and mixed content still needed cleanup. DeepSeek OCR 2 is DeepSeek’s answer to that...

From notebooks to real-world systems The post Machine Learning in Production? What This Really Means appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Python dominates AI and machine learning for one simple reason: its ecosystem is amazing. Most projects are built on a small set of libraries that handle everything from data loading to deep learning at scale. Knowing these libraries makes the entire development process fast and easy. Let’s break th...

My favourite open-source AI model just got a major upgrade..Kimi K2.5 is here! LLMs excel at answering questions and writing code, but real work spans messy documents, images, incomplete data, and long decision chains. Most AI systems still struggle in these environments. Moonshot AI built Kimi K2.5...

AI systems now see images, hear speech, and process video, understanding information in its native form.

Building a chatbot prototype takes hours.

In this article, you will learn three practical ways to protect user data in real-world ML pipelines, with techniques that data scientists can implement directly in their workflows.
