This comparison between 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 and 𝗜𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 was generated entirely using OpenAI’s new image creation tool.

While not perfect, it’s getting seriously good, the illustrations are more detailed, and it now manages real text. The progress is evident. This is moving fast.

Received two books this Christmas: How to Make the World Add Up by Tim Harford and AI Needs You by Verity Harding.

Harford’s book focuses on understanding data in a world of misinformation, while Harding’s explores the ethical impact of SI.

Looking forward to applying their insights.

What Is an AI Agent? A Computer Scientist Explains the Next Wave of AI Tools The AI agents big tech companies are now developing are significant advances over chatbots because they possess the ability to take actions on your behalf.

The evolution of AI agents feels like a quiet yet profound tide sweeping the tech sector.

Here's How Nvidia’s Vice-Like Grip on AI Chips Could Slip A recent change in priorities at the biggest AI developers could shake up the industry.

Nvidia's firm hold on AI chips may wane, showing the volatility and unpredictability of tech market trends.

Haystack | Haystack Haystack, the composable open-source AI framework

I’ve been exploring AI orchestration frameworks for my next project, and honestly, it’s not easy to find one that feels right.

There’s a lot to consider: stability, flexibility, ease of integration and documentation.

Right now, I’m leaning toward Haystack.

Is 2025 the Year AI Agents Take Over? Industry Bets Billions on AI's Killer App Industry experts say AI will begin to live up to the hype next year as AI agents force their way into all aspects of our lives.

The prospect of AI agents ruling 2025? Quite an ambitious bet, don't you think?

GeAR: Graph-enhanced Agent for Retrieval-augmented Generation Retrieval-augmented generation systems rely on effective document retrieval capabilities. By design, conventional sparse or dense retrievers face challenges in multi-hop retrieval scenarios. In this p...

Agentic AI is becoming more popular, and GeAR offers a fresh take on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

It combines graph expansion with agent-based methods.

With interest in Agentic AI growing, this is an interesting direction to watch.

AnnotateAI: A tool for annotating research papers

AnnotateAI extracts key concepts, highlights important sections, and creates concise annotations. It works well with papers from arXiv, PubMed, and other scientific sources, making it easier to review and focus on key ideas. Worth a try.

OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever says the way AI is built is about to change “We’ve achieved peak data and there’ll be no more.”

"We've achieved peak data and there'll be no more."

"Next-generation models are going to be agentic in real ways."

"The more a system reasons, the more unpredictable it becomes."

These insights from OpenAi cofounder ilya Sutskever shed light on the challenges as AI becomes more autonomous.

Thanks for pointing that out, Brian. It's clear that there’s room for improvement in the accuracy of its summaries if they want to make it more reliable for clinicians.

How AI Is Changing The Way Doctors Access Medical Knowledge Throughout history, doctors have shifted how they access medical knowledge from their minds to paper to digital tools. AI is the next step in this evolution.

This Forbes article talks about two AI-powered search engines, Consensus and OpenEvidence, that are changing how doctors access medical knowledge.

Both tools look like a great help for healthcare professionals to stay up-to-date and make more informed choices when diagnosing or treating patients.

While phasing out AS/400, critical applications like the patient census remain active and must sync with Oracle.

We use #HL7 even though AS/400 wasn’t originally designed with this in mind.

Legacy systems may be retiring, but their critical role persists. Although the end is near.
