The 7 Biggest Misconceptions About AI Agents (and Why They Matter) (click to enlarge)Image by Author  AI agents are everywhere. From customer support chatbots to code assistants, the promise is simple: systems that can act on your behalf, making…
In this article, you will learn how to cluster a collection of text documents using large language model embeddings and standard clustering algorithms in scikit-learn. Topics we will cover include: Why LLM-based embeddings are well suited for document clustering. How…
In this article, you will learn how speculative decoding works and how to implement it to reduce large language model inference latency without sacrificing output quality. Topics we will cover include: Why large language model inference is often memory-bound rather…
In the high-stakes world of AI, ‘Context Engineering’ has emerged as the latest frontier for squeezing performance out of LLMs. Industry leaders have touted AGENTS.md (and its cousins like CLAUDE.md) as the ultimate configuration point for coding agents—a repository-level ‘North…
Have you ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn’t work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like decor and personal accessories, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) models can relate. They can produce creative and…

In this article, you will learn what Model Context Protocol (MCP) is and how to build a simple, practical task-tracker MCP server in Python using FastMCP. Topics we will cover include: How MCP works, including hosts, clients, servers, and the…
Beyond Accuracy: 5 Metrics That Actually Matter for AI AgentsImage by Editor Introduction AI agents, or autonomous systems powered by agentic AI, have reshaped the current landscape of AI systems and deployments. As these systems become more capable, we also…
In this article, you will learn what small language models are, why they matter in 2026, and how to use them effectively in real production systems. Topics we will cover include: What defines small language models and how they differ…
Studying gene expression in a cancer patient’s cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer’s origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many layers, so how the biologist conducts measurements affects which data…
