Organizations increasingly adopt machine learning solutions into their daily operations and long-term strategies, and, as a result, the need for effective standards for deploying and maintaining machine learning systems has become critical. MLOps (short for machine learning operations) arose to meet these needs.

When you love what you do, it can be easy to take on more ā€” more tasks, more deadlines, more hours ā€“ but before you know it, you donā€™t have time to do what you loved in the beginning. Donā€™t just do more ā€“ do more of what you do best.

AI prompt engineering positions command lucrative salaries, ranging from $175,000 to over $300,000 annually, making it an appealing career choice. However, excelling as an AI prompt engineer demands more than just adeptly asking questions.

OpenAI has released the Evals API for developers. The API enables developers to programmatically define tests, automate evaluation runs, and quickly iterate on prompts. It allows developers to integrate Evals anywhere in a workflow. Evals are still available in the dashboard.

Gemini is the cheapest, most accurate, and among the fastest models on the market; GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet are pretty good, but not worth the 20-30x price premium over Gemini; and newer models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet and GPT-4.5 seem more creative and not ideal for doing exactly what you want to do.

MCP is quickly becoming the go-to standard for connecting AI agents to external tools, streamlining how these systems interact with the real world. Major players like OpenAI and Google are throwing their weight behind it. MCP's increasing adoption brings convenience, but also introduces new security challenges that developers should be aware of.

Around $6.8 trillion dollars in value has been wiped from U.S. stocks, as Wall Street is reportedly already reacting to a new era of trade wars. But as stocks slip and inflation worries reignite, one asset class may remain uncorrelated: fine art.

Unlike equities, contemporary art has near-zero correlation to stocks. In fact, Masterworks data shows it has outpaced the S&P 500 by 32% since 1995, making it a go-to hedge for a slice of savvy investor portfolios.

Masterworksā€™ platform allows everyday investors to invest in shares of multimillion-dollar artwork offerings featuring artists like Picasso and Basquiat. With 23 exits across their 450+ offeringsā€”all profitableā€”itā€™s clear why investors are flocking to art.

Renowned animator Hayao Miyazakiā€™s past comments labeling AI as "an insult to life itself" gained renewed attention.

The chip giant tweaked Metaā€™s Llama 3.1 (released months before last weekā€™s Llama 4) to make it more powerful and energy efficient, even for advanced reasoning tasks. Open models often have a longer shelf life, since anyone can fine-tune them far beyond their original stats. For example, a little-known startup called Deep Cogito just used Llama and Alibabaā€™s Qwen to build a family of open-source LLMs that it claims are now best-in-class for their size.

Thinking Machines Lab has gained former OpenAI chief research officer Bob McGrew and Alec Radford, a former OpenAI researcher behind many of the company's more transformative innovations.
