As an AI Architect with experience designing scalable, efficient systems for enterprises and research, I’m always on the lookout for breakthroughs that democratise access to cutting-edge tools. NVIDIA’s latest announcement today has me genuinely excited, it’s a massive step forward in open-source AI. They’re expanding their “open model universe” with new models, datasets, and tools tailored for agentic AI, physical...

If your team is still using AI mainly for copy/paste, you’re leaving value on the table. The real productivity jump happens when AI becomes part of a repeatable workflow. What “agentic” looks like in practice: I build these using tools like Microsoft Foundry / n8n + Python + APIs + cloud services (and yes-local LLMs when required). I perform use...

I think I’ve just found the new centrepiece for my workstation which I have promptly added to my purchase wish list. NVIDIA has officially made the RTX PRO 5000 72GB Blackwell GPU generally available, and the specs are a dream for anyone building in the AI and simulation space. Why is this such a big deal? In the world of...

I’m opening a new Private LinkedIn group: AI Builders & Developers Network. The goal is simple – a high-signal community for people who actually build, ship, evaluate, or influence AI systems. No hype. No “top 10 tools” spam.  Who I’m inviting for the initial cohort What we’ll do inside the group This group will be monitored and curated to maintain a...

There is something so satisfying about when you pull a model into vLLM using Docker, Inc from Hugging Face and think of the potential opportunities while you watch it come down. Just pulled GLM-4.6V-Flash 0 Z.ai‘s nimble 9B-parameter powerhouse from the GLM-4.6V family! This lightweight, open-source multimodal gem is optimized for local deployment and low-latency apps – no need for massive GPUs like its 106B sibling. Key...
