A new global survey of executives, decision makers and knowledge workers reveals that organizations truly transforming with AI are seeing real results that move their bu…
Key Highlights: Meta is among the few tech giants that advocate open-source AI (like its Llama models) for innovation, security through community testing, cost-effectiveness for businesses, and preventing gatekeeping. But it seems Meta has realized the future with open-source AI isn’t worth it, as that goodwill won’t pay the bills for its $600 billion investment pledge in the US infrastructure. Meta is reportedly working on a “closed” model, codenamed “Avocado” Well, this comes after disappointment around Meta’s recent […]

What comes after Transformers? Google Research is proposing a new way to give sequence models usable long term memory with Titans and MIRAS, while keeping training parallel and inference close to linear. Titans is a concrete architecture that adds a deep neural memory to a Transformer style backbone. MIRAS is a general framework that views most modern sequence models as instances of online optimization over an associative memory. Why Titans and MIRAS? Standard Transformers use attention over a […]
This article introduces the Gaussian Mixture Model as a natural extension of k-Means, by improving how distance is measured through variances and the Mahalanobis distance. Instead of assigning points to clusters with hard boundaries, GMM uses probabilities learned through the Expectation–Maximization algorithm – the general form of Lloyd’s method. Using simple Excel formulas, we implement EM step by step in 1D and 2D, and we visualise how the Gaussian curves or ellipses move during training. The means shift, […]
