As an acquisitions editor at O’Reilly, I spend considerable time tracking our authors’ digital footprints. Their social media posts, speaking engagements, and online thought leadership don’t just reflect expertise—they directly impact book sales and reveal promotional strategies worth replicating. Not surprisingly, some of our best-selling authors are social media mavens whose posting output is staggering. […]

Qwen-Image-Edit caters to professionals who need control while remaining approachable for casual experimentation.
In this post, we explore how to enable and use trusted identity propagation in Amazon SageMaker Studio, which allows organizations to simplify access management by granting permissions to existing AWS IAM Identity Center identities. The solution demonstrates how to implement fine-grained access controls based on a physical user's identity, maintain detailed audit logs across supported AWS services, and support long-running user background sessions for training jobs.
Water cooler small talk is a special kind of small talk, typically observed in office spaces around a water cooler. There, employees frequently share all kinds of corporate gossip, myths, legends, inaccurate scientific opinions, indiscreet personal anecdotes, or outright lies. Anything goes. So, in my Water Cooler Small Talk posts, I discuss strange and usually […]

This post demonstrates how to use foundation models (FMs) in Amazon Bedrock, specifically Amazon Nova Pro, to achieve high-accuracy document field localization while dramatically simplifying implementation. We show how these models can precisely locate and interpret document fields with minimal frontend effort, reducing processing errors and manual intervention.
We built an advanced RAG solution using Amazon Bedrock leveraging Infosys Topaz™ AI capabilities, tailored for the oil and gas sector. This solution excels in handling multimodal data sources, seamlessly processing text, diagrams, and numerical data while maintaining context and relationships between different data elements. In this post, we provide insights on the solution and walk you through different approaches and architecture patterns explored, like different chunking, multi-vector retrieval, and hybrid search during the development.
This article explains how to install and setup Couchbase and start easily storing data.
The AI startup is chasing a $500 billion valuation, with backers betting it can become the next Apple or Google. There are reasons for skepticism.
Keychain states it's currently being used by top CPG brands and food retailers including 7-Eleven, Whole Foods, and General Mills.
In this post, we explore how to design and implement custom plugins for Amazon Q Business to create an intelligent chatbot that streamlines employee training by retrieving answers from training materials. The solution implements secure API access using Amazon Cognito for user authentication and authorization, processes multiple document formats, and includes features like RAG-enhanced responses and email escalation capabilities through custom plugins.
SAP'S Yaad Oren and Agilent's Raj Jampa discuss how to deploy agentic AI while staying inside cost, latency, and compliance guardrails.
As Adobe rolls out more generative AI features for the PDF, the era of chatbot-less software is firmly a thing of the past.
Recent surveys point to a massive growth in AI-driven bots crawling the internet looking for APIs. While many of these have malicious intent, a growing number are well-meaning API consumers just trying to discover, consume, and benefit from existing APIs. And, increasingly, these API requests are coming from Model Context Protocol (MCP)-driven platforms designed to […]
You've built a machine learning model that performs perfectly on training data but fails on new examples.
Not using Python for daily life? You're missing out on the best cheat codes for productivity.
We think we see the world as it is, but in fact we see it through a thick fog of received knowledge and ideas, some of which are right and some of which are wrong. Like maps, ideas and beliefs shape our experience of the world. The notion that AI is somehow unprecedented, that artificial […]
How do you want your AI to treat you? It’s a serious question, and it’s one that Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, has clearly been chewing on since GPT-5’s bumpy launch at the start of the month. He faces a trilemma. Should ChatGPT flatter us, at the risk of fueling delusions that can spiral out of…
Solubility predictions could make it easier to design and synthesize new drugs, while minimizing the use of more hazardous solvents.
