Trying Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks in Practice
There's been a fair bit of buzz about Kolmogorov-Arnold networks online lately. Some research papers were posted around claiming that they offer better accuracy or faster training compared to traditional neural networks/MLPs for the same parameter count.

Dissecting Reinforcement Learning
Explaining the basic ideas behind reinforcement learning. In particular, Markov Decision Process, Bellman equation, Value iteration and Policy Iteration algorithms, policy iteration through linear algebra methods. It includes full working code written in Python.
Claude is now available in Europe
Claude, Anthropic's trusted AI assistant, is now available for people and businesses across Europe.
Avoiding hallucinations in LLM-powered applications
Do Androids dream of electric sheep?
MCP is a fad
Model Context Protocol has taken off as the standardized platform for AI integrations, but this popularity will be short-lived.
Self driving cars and beyond
The story of technology is not unlike what often happens in dramatic stories and plays, where a “deus ex machina” or character drops down magically from the skies onto our world stage. But in reality, technology never comes so suddenly, or in such an isolated manner: There’s an entire ecosystem that grows up around…

Stone Soup AI (2024)
For some time, I’ve argued that a common conception of AI is misguided. This is the idea that AI systems like large language and vision models are individual intelligent agents, analogous to human agents. Instead, I’ve argued that these models are “cultural technologies” like writing, print, pictures, libraries…

Speculative Decoding in vLLM on AMD GPUs
A practical guide to speculative decoding in vLLM on AMD GPUs, covering draft-and-verify mechanics, MTP, EAGLE-3, DFlash, DSpark, configuration, tuning, and ben
Early Days of AI
Rather then view LLMs, Transformers, and diffusion models as part of a continuum with past "AI", it is worth thinking of this as an entirely new era and discontinuity from the past
Infinite Context LLMs: Going Beyond RAG with Extended Minds
In this blog we discuss how the transformer architecture naturally extends over external memories, and share empirical results which leverage this capability. These methods are innate (don't require fine tuning) and outperform popular retrieval augmented generation methods.
Want to get started with LLMs? Here's what you need to know
Fly further together. Ask questions and share ideas in a global community of AI and ML builders.
Knowledge Graphs in RAG: Hype vs. Ragas Analysis
A deep dive on Microsoft's GraphRAG paper found questionable metrics with vaguely defined lift, so I analyzed knowledge graphs in RAG overall using Neo4j vs FAISS

The same AI request emits 8.5 times more CO2 in Texas than in Sweden
Swedish AI provider Berget AI releases an open-source method for calculating the carbon emissions of every individual AI request, developed with researchers from SEI, WattTime and Klimatkollen — and customers can now follow their emissions per request in the console.
The Doom Justifies the Valuation
I’ve been in Berkeley for the last 2 weeks. I haven’t really been back here for a while, and it’s worse than you can believe. This is a cult of atheistic hedonists needing AI doom to be true to justify their life choices. Or acceleration. Or something. They need to make impact. I mean, narcissism of small differences…
