PyTorch NaNs Are Silent Killers — So I Built a 3ms Hook to Catch Them at the Exact Layer
NaNs don’t crash your training — they quietly destroy it.
After losing hours to a silent failure in a ResNet training run, I built a lightweight detector that pinpoints the exact layer and batch where things break. Using forward hooks and gradient checks, it catches issues early with minimal overhea...
How Spreadsheets Quietly Cost Supply Chains Millions

DeepSeek-V4: The Most Powerful Open-Source Model Ever
The latest set of open-source models from DeepSeek are here. While the industry anticipated the dominance of “closed” iterations like GPT-5.5, the arrival of DeepSeek-V4 has ticked the dominance in the favour of open-source AI. By combining a 1.6 trillion parameter MoE architecture with a massive 1 ...
OpenAI is on a roll! While the company had everyone going gaga over its new image generation model, the ChatGPT Images 2.0, it decided now is not the time to stop. And lo and behold, out comes another banger from its offices, and mind you, this is the bigger one. The new version of its […]

From Ad Hoc Prompting to Repeatable AI Workflows with Claude Code Skills
How I turned LLM persona interviews into a repeatable customer research workflow
The post From Ad Hoc Prompting to Repeatable AI Workflows with Claude Code Skills appeared first on Towards Data Science.
Design has traditionally required multiple roles working in sequence: a strategist to define the problem, a designer to shape the solution, and a developer to build it. This means coordinating timelines, aligning opinions, and going through rounds of iteration before anything tangible is created. Cl...
