The Complete Agentic AI Engineering Course

I wanted to spend more time on the "big picture" instead of the micro.   After all, I've been building a ton of tools - it was time to spend some time with some of the lesser-known orchestration platforms.  The instructor is well known in the industry.

AI Agents With Flowise

I spent some time with flowise a year or two ago, and I (maybe unfairly) discounted it because it did not have the ability to run custom code.  N8N has that option, so when I needed something in the low-code space, I used that platform.   However, n8n has different uses cases, and AI Agents aren't...

Getting Started with DSPy

In the day job, I have seen a surprising uptick in the number of OCR-type projects that are coming to us.   I had been using document intelligence to mine the label that I want, and overall that works well after you do some fine-tuning.  I came across DSPy (Declarative Self-improving Python.) - it is a...

DEMO: MLOps using MLFlow

I made this demo earlier in the year while I was making an MLOps pipeline for a client.   I thought it would be fun to automate my movie review recommender model, so I stood up a way-too-fancy pipeline for the job.

The New LLM Server is Here!

As you might know, I have a server affectionately known as HAL that serves as the backbone for everything that goes on in my home and in my development.   I have a full docker environment will a couple dozen containers that provide numerous services for the home and for my playtime.   When local LLMs started...

DEMO: Accessing Big Data using Natural Language (update: now working with Fabric as well)

It happens all of the time:   you need to get at a piece of data that lives in some data store.  Maybe it is last month's sales numbers, or you need to find out which sales person sold the most widgets yesterday.   But how to get at this data?  Do you really want to have...
