How to Use NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2 for ASR, Translation, and Automatic SRT Subtitle Export in Python
In this tutorial, we build a multilingual ASR and speech translation pipeline with NVIDIA Canary-1B-v2. We load the model on a GPU-enabled runtime, prepare audio into 16 kHz mono, and run English ASR. We then translate speech into French, German, Spanish, and Italian, and extract word and segment ti...
Anthropic’s Claude Tag is learning your company, one Slack message at a time
Anthropic’s new Claude Tag brings an always-on AI teammate to Slack. But beyond productivity, the feature is a strategic play to capture organizational context, institutional knowledge, and enterprise workflows.
GLM-5.2 OpenAI-Compatible API: A Hands-On Guide to Reasoning Effort, Function Calling, and Long-Context Retrieval
We build a practical GLM-5.2 workflow using its hosted, OpenAI-compatible API instead of running the model locally. We set up multiple providers, load the API key securely, and create a reusable chat wrapper. We then test thinking-effort control, streamed reasoning, function calling, a tool-using ag...
The running list: major tech layoffs in 2026 where employers cited AI

Nvidia wants to cut data center water use, but that’s not the same as fixing AI’s water problem
Nvidia announced a new cooling system that cuts water use inside the data center. But it does nothing to address AI's biggest water use — fossil fuel power plants.
How to Design Python-First Interactive Dashboards with Prefab Reactive UI Components and Static HTML Export
In this tutorial, we build a Prefab application that creates interactive dashboards entirely in Python. We design an operations dashboard with reactive state, charts, tables, filters, forms, tabs, and metrics. We generate synthetic pipeline monitoring data and connect it to live UI controls. We then...
The 7 Types of Agent Memory: A Technical Guide for AI Engineers
LLMs are stateless by default. Agent memory fixes that. This guide breaks down all 7 types — working, semantic, episodic, procedural, retrieval, parametric, and prospective. It covers what each stores, where it lives, and when to build it. Includes a comparison table and working Python code.
The pos...
Yandex Open-Sources YaFF: A Zero-Copy Wire Format for Protobuf With Near-Struct Read Speed
In this article we look at YaFF, Yandex's open-source zero-copy wire format for the Protobuf ecosystem. We keep the .proto file as the single source of truth, changing only how data sits in memory. We walk through its four layouts — Fixed, Flat, Sparse, and Dynamic — and the benchmark where Flat Lay...
How to Build a Forecasting Pipeline with TimeCopilot Using Foundation Models and Automated Anomaly Detection
We build an end-to-end forecasting workflow with TimeCopilot on a panel of real airline passenger data and a synthetic seasonal series with injected anomalies. We evaluate statistical, foundation, and optional GPU-based models using rolling cross-validation and multiple error metrics. We generate pr...
Encryption, spyware, and now Mythos: History shows why cyber export control doesn’t work
For the last 30 years, stopping the flow of cybersecurity-related software has proven to be ineffective. It's unclear why it would work now with Anthropic’s cybersecurity model Mythos.
Salesforce CodeGen Tutorial: Generate, Validate, and Rerank Python Functions With Unit Tests and Safety Checks
We implement an end-to-end workflow for Salesforce CodeGen, loaded from Hugging Face. We move past basic inference by adding function extraction, syntax checking, static safety checks, and unit-test validation. We rerank best-of-N candidates, compose multi-turn program synthesis, and experiment with...
