Quantization and Pruning Methods to Make Your LLM Leaner
This article walks through what each technique actually does, why skipping them costs real money and real latency, and then gets hands-on with five specific methods people are running in production right now.
AI agents are everywhere right now. You hear terms like tool calling, agent loops, MCP, guardrails thrown around as if its common language… it isn’t! But that is about to change. Agentic AI isn’t nearly as complicated as it sounds once you understand the few core ideas that actually matter. Here are...
Mastering the AI Project Cycle: From Concept to Production
In fact, AI projects are not built by simply choosing a model and feeding it data. Furthermore, a successful AI system goes through multiple stages, starting with identifying the right problem and ending with deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. This structured journey is known as the...
Spec-Driven Development with Claude Code: Writing Bulletproof Specs
I have written enough specs for Claude Code now to have hit the failure mode nobody warns you about. The spec was fine. The plan was fine. Claude worked through the tasks, ran the test suite, and reported everything passing. I looked at the diff properly the next morning and found it had converted ...
Agentic AI research in 2026 has moved past the basic question of whether a model can be called a tool. The harder questions are whether an agent can finish long workflows, survive live websites, verify its own work, recover from failure, and improve its process over time. The five papers below map t...
7 Kimi K3 Features That Make Every Other Model Feel Outdated
Developers launch new models every week, but most barely change how you work. Kimi K3 is different—not because of benchmark charts, but because of a few small API changes that fundamentally affect how you use it. The first is reasoning_effort, which defaults to maximum, alongside 131,072 max_complet...
What Can I Actually Do with a Small Language Model?
But by keeping these limits in mind, and planning for them, we can effectively use these small, local models for the following broad operations scenarios.
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning: The AI Agent Workhorse
Long-running AI agents often spend most of their time on routine execution rather than difficult reasoning. After making a plan, they may perform hundreds of tool calls, file reads, validations, commands, and formatting steps, so using a frontier reasoning model for every action can become unnecessa...
How Baidu Unlimited-OCR Works: Solving Long-Document Transcription
About a month ago, Baidu (often called the “Google of China”) introduced Unlimited-OCR, an advancement over DeepSeek OCR. The model was designed to transcribe long, multi-page documents with high accuracy while delivering fast and stable inference. Unlike conventional vision-language OCR systems, Un...
New Free eBook: Understanding Agentic AI, an Executive Briefing
Written for CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, and technology executives, our new free ebook "Understanding Agentic AI: An Executive Briefing" walks through the components every real agentic system is built from.
Building Trustworthy Snowflake AI Agents with Semantic Governance
This year, many data teams have added AI agents to their roadmaps. The excitement is real: an agent that turns a two-day analysis into a two-minute conversation can change how analysts and business teams work together. But agents are only as reliable as the data foundation beneath them. Point them a...
