Author(s): Manash Pratim Originally published on Towards AI. There’s a moment every engineer dreads. The dashboards are green. The alerts are silent. Everything looks calm until it isn’t. One minute your logs are flowing normally. The next minute, the system collapses like a badly timed Jenga tower. Image generated using AIThe article discusses the author’s experience creating a small Python agent that monitors system logs in real-time, catching issues before traditional monitoring tools can trigger alerts. By focusing […]
Ceramics — the humble mix of earth, fire and artistry — have been part of a global conversation for millennia. From Tang Dynasty trade routes to Renaissance palaces, from museum vitrines to high-stakes auction floors, they’ve carried culture across borders, evolving into status symbols, commodities and pieces of contested history. Their value has been shaped by aesthetics and economics, empire and, now, technology. This figure visualizes 20 representative Chinese ceramic craftsmanship styles across seven historical periods, ranging from […]
Google is rolling out managed MCP servers to make its services “agent-ready by design,” starting with Maps and BigQuery, aiming to simplify messy integrations and help AI agents use real tools.
Key Highlights: Spotify isn’t shying away from bringing new AI features to its platform. The music-streaming giant has now announced a new feature that gives users more control over the service’s algorithm. Prompted Playlists is an evolved version of Spotify’s AI Playlists Well… that’s how Spotify is positioning the launch of its new “Prompted Playlists” feature. So, what’s new feature all about? Basically, it allows you to describe what you want to hear in a personalized playlist, which […]
Author(s): Manash Pratim Originally published on Towards AI. I Built an AI That Understands My Team’s Emotions From Our Commits and Messages I built an AI that analyzes commits, PR reviews, and Slack messages to detect emotional drift and burnout in engineering teams. Using vector-drift embeddings and a fine-tuned LLaMA model, it learned to read the subtext beneath our communication and the results shocked me. Image generated using AIThe article discusses the creation of an AI designed to […]
Large language models (LLMs) are mainly trained to generate text responses to user queries or prompts, with complex reasoning under the hood that not only involves language generation by predicting each next token in the output sequence, but also entails a deep understanding of the linguistic patterns surrounding the user input text.
When OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world in 2022, it brought generative artificial intelligence into the mainstream and started a snowball effect that led to its rapid integration into industry, scientific research, health care, and the everyday lives of people who use the technology. What comes next for this powerful but imperfect tool? With that question in mind, hundreds of researchers, business leaders, educators, and students gathered at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium for the inaugural MIT Generative AI Impact […]
