Generative AI is revolutionizing industries by automating tasks, enhancing creativity, and driving efficiency. From content creation to scientific research, AI models like ChatGPT GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0, Llama 3.1 405B, Deepseek, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion are unlocking new possibilities. Here are 100 powerful generative AI use cases across various sectors:
GitHub upgraded Copilot with “Agent Mode.” GitHub claims it writes and fixes code on its own.
How's it different?
The old version needed constant guidance. This one understands context and figures out when extra steps are needed.
What models can it use?
It works with GPT-4, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, or Gemini 2.0 Flash.
AI's impact on someone's day-to-day job largely depends on their level. It impacts junior engineers the most, with the impact level dropping through to the senior level, before becoming useful again for Staff+ engineers. This may be why developers' experiences vary so much.
This article describes the four main approaches to building reasoning models, or how we can enhance LLMs with reasoning capabilities. I hope this provides valuable insights and helps you navigate the rapidly evolving literature and hype surrounding this topic.
In data visualisations, colours are often used to show values or categories of data. However, sometimes you might not be able to or want to use colour. This blog post discusses some tips for designing better visualisations when you're restricted to a monochrome palette.
