You have probably seen the headline by now: 95% of all Generative AI pilots are failing according to a new MIT NANDA report. Within minutes thousands of LinkedIn AI experts rushed to declare that the AI bubble is bursting and that we all should be focusing on something else. But those of us who took…

Do you know what a vision backbone is in AI? The word backbone here refers to a feature extraction network that processes input data into meaningful feature representations, also called a feature extractor. Examples of vision backbones are the traditional AlexNet which initiated the modern era of deep learning, ResNet and Google Inception (GoogLeNet). Training…

Last week OpenAI launched GPT-5, their new “system of models”. Unlike GPT-4 and GPT-4o, GPT-5 is not a model but is instead a system with a smart router (OpenAI calls it the “autoswitcher”) that will try to direct your message to the right model for the task. Ask it to solve a math problem –…

Last week OpenAI announced that they are generating over $1 billion per month with over 700 million weekly active users. AI will soon be used daily by everyone with an Internet connection, and while most of today’s AI services can be used for free, they will soon become quite expensive. Microsoft launched “Copilot Mode” for…

Last week Elon Musk and xAI finally launched Grok 4, their next generation model, and at the same time unveiled a $300-per-month AI subscription plan called SuperGrok Heavy. “With respect to academic questions, Grok 4 is better than PhD level in every subject, no exceptions,” said Elon Musk during a livestream Wednesday night. “At times,…

Last week Perplexity joined Anthropic, Cursor, Google and OpenAI in offering a $200 “Max” subscription. We are clearly entering the next level of subscription pricing, and I am quite confident this is only the beginning. The more complex the AI models become – the longer they can run autonomously without user interaction – the more…

This was truly a week of edge and offline models releases! First Google released the full version of Gemma 3n, a multimodal AI model designed to run on edge devices with as little as 2GB of RAM. This means you can run it on smartphones or laptops without cloud connectivity, but the performance of it…

Two weeks ago I wrote about my side-project with Claude Code. The project is now done, and it was built 100% with Agentic AI. It’s an app called Notebook Navigator, and it combines the best of note-taking apps like Apple Notes, Bear, Evernote, Google Keep and Notion into one single app. It is built as…
