- So, about this blog…I have a problem with running my mouth more than I need to, so I’ll keep it quick: I’m retiring weekly updates to this blog.
- Quantizing Big Language Models: Do Tiny Numbers Really Change the Big Picture?Imagine you could run a powerful language model on a smartphone or a small server, without waiting ages for answers or emptying the battery. That dream is made possible in part by quantization—a technique that shrinks the model’s numbers from fancy high-precision weights to smaller, simpler numbers. But does this trimming mess with what the… Read more: Quantizing Big Language Models: Do Tiny Numbers Really Change the Big Picture?
- Apple Intelligence Foundation Models: On-device Smarts Meet Private Cloud PowerWhat if your phone could think faster, understand images as well as you do, and call tools — all without sending your data to the cloud? Apple’s new generation of foundation models aims to do just that. They’ve built two complementary AI systems: a compact on-device model that runs efficiently on iPhone/iPad silicon, and a… Read more: Apple Intelligence Foundation Models: On-device Smarts Meet Private Cloud Power
- AI, Lean Startup, and Product Innovation: How to Build Better Products FasterIf you’ve ever wondered why some companies nail AI-powered innovation while others fizzle out, you’re not alone. A recent study looked at 1,800 Chinese startups over nearly a decade to understand how artificial intelligence (AI) can (or cannot) help create better products—and how a lean startup mindset can change the game. The punchline? AI and… Read more: AI, Lean Startup, and Product Innovation: How to Build Better Products Faster
- Forecasting the Uncertain Future: Deep Neural Networks for Financial Return DistributionsIn finance, predicting not just the “average” move but the whole shape of how returns can behave is crucial. Markets don’t just swing up or down by a neat amount—they bloat with big tails, skewness, and shifting volatility. This blog post dives into a recent study that asks: can deep neural networks (a fancy term… Read more: Forecasting the Uncertain Future: Deep Neural Networks for Financial Return Distributions
