MiniMax M2.7 Goes Open-Weight to Let You Run Agents Locally
Following in the footsteps of the recently released Gemma 4, MiniMax has now made its latest model, MiniMax M2.7, completely open-weight. In simple terms, developers can now download the model, run it on their own systems, and start building with it. This is in contrast with the model being a comple...

Understanding BERTopic: From Raw Text to Interpretable Topics
Topic modeling uncovers hidden themes in large document collections. Traditional methods like Latent Dirichlet Allocation rely on word frequency and treat text as bags of words, often missing deeper context and meaning. BERTopic takes a different route, combining transformer embeddings, clustering, ...
From Karpathy’s LLM Wiki to Graphify: AI Memory Layers are Here
Most AI workflows follow the same loop: you upload files, ask a question, get an answer, and then everything resets. Nothing sticks. For large codebases or research collections, this becomes inefficient fast. Even when you revisit the same material, the model rereads it from scratch instead of build...
When Things Get Weird with Custom Calendars in Tabular Models
Since September 2025, we have had Calendar-based Time Intelligence in Power BI and Fabric Tabular models. While this feature offers great possibilities, we must be aware of its pitfalls. Here are some of them.

AI can feel like a maze sometimes. Everywhere you look, people on social media and in meetings are throwing around terms like LLMs, agents, and hallucinations as if it’s all obvious. But for most people, it just feels confusing. The good news is, AI isn’t nearly as complicated as it sounds once you...

Project Glasswing is World’s Most Powerful AI in Action
We already had a hint. AI would surpass most human capabilities someday. In the field of cybersecurity, that day arrived way too early, with the recent announcement of the Mythos Preview by Claude. The new AI model promises a level of coding skills that it is deemed to ‘surpass all but the most skil...

Handling Race Conditions in Multi-Agent Orchestration
If you've ever watched two agents confidently write to the same resource at the same time and produce something that makes zero sense, you already know what a race condition feels like in practice.
