This is a great presentation by Douwe Kiela. (And it's short... less than 17 minutes!) 10 Lessons Learned from Deploying RAG (in enterprises) The fifth one may be surprising: Speed is more important than perfection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPL-...

โ€œWhen you โ€˜Hit the Targetโ€™ by Miss the Mark in AI Implementationโ€ ๐ŸŽฏ In this article, I relate a story from childhood to discuss successfully implementing the wrong solution for AI. www.ctipath.com/kzh1 Have you had this experience when deploying AI?

Generalist AI (AI built do do anything)se days. Do most business need generalist AI? Usually, businesses save time/money developing specialist AI solutions (sometimes with generalist AI). I wrote about Generalist vs Specialist AI recently -> www.ctipath.com/3dps I'd love to hear others' thoughts

How many โ€œcoding agentsโ€ took PTO today (due to the Anthropic outage)?

Have you tried AWS Immersion Day webinars? Theyโ€™re a great way to get free, hands-on experience with AWS services. Plusโ€ฆ digital badges, and everyone loves digital badges. This is not a paid or requested endorsement. I just found them helpful. aws.amazon.com/events/sfid-...

AI isnโ€™t just for tech giants and Fortune 500. But is it right for YOUR small business. In this article, we look at: 1) AIโ€™s real benefits for small businesses 2) Common concerns of AI 3) A practical approach to AI www.ctipath.com/5a0d

Little language models, Once just curious math, Now chatting with the masses Along a lightning path. Machine learning algorithms That once just sorted spam, Now paint like Picasso And write like Uncle Sam. (Continued in comments) #LLM #AI #GenAI

From the article, you can tell how early we are in the realm of LLM / agentic applications. It will be interesting to see if LLM agents develop their own categories or follow the classical agent categories.

Iโ€™m very excited when I start a new project, then the excitement wanes. If I start a second project, itโ€™s almost drudgery to finish the first. How do you stay excited through the life of a project?

AI Agents? AI Workflows? What if a hybrid approach provided the best of both worlds? Imagine an AI agent as a smart manager orchestrating multiple automated workflows, handling complex tasks automatically. Read more here -> www.ctipath.com/sx85 #AI #GenAI #AIAgents #ArtificialIntelligence

A lot of small business owners feel that AI is out of reach. But thatโ€™s not true! From 24/7 customer service to automated bookkeeping, AI is helping small businesses work smarter, not harder. The best part? It's more affordable and accessible than ever. Read more -> www.ctipath.com/3v5y #AI #SMB

Autonomous AI Agent or Agentic Workflow? Anthropic did a good job of describing this differences. (See www.anthropic.com/research/bui...) But, I think the way forward may be a hybrid approach... An autonomous agent that can use agentic workflows as tools.

AI isn't just changing business - it's making it more human! Just published an article exploring how AI is transforming industries in surprisingly personal ways... Read the full article here: www.ctipath.com/cjzi #AI #Innovation #BusinessTransformation #FutureOfWork #TechnologyTrends

What happens when you talk to your CTO about the cool AI Agent application that you're building? It suddenly becomes a mulitmodal application... MVP is never enough! #AI #AIAgents #LLM

I just noticed that I was added to a MAGA block list. Why? How do I let the list creator know that Iโ€™m not MAGA?

I wanted to see how a search tool would help our new AI Agent. I asked about the upcoming Winter Storm Cora. (By the way, as far as I can tell, there was no Winter Storm Cora in 2021, so that's an hallucination. ๐Ÿ’ญ) #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #GenAI #AIAgents #LLM

For my next project, I'm playing with the new LLM FMs from AWS. Not only does Nova Micro provide excellent responses, but the price is incredible: 20% or less compared to other models. Nova Lite and Pro are next. Anyone else used models? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #GenAI #AIAgent #LLM
