In 2025, we're witnessing something remarkable - modern data tools are bringing pivot tables back to the forefront. But why would cutting-edge platforms invest in a decades-old spreadsheet feature? The answer lies in what made pivot tables revolutionary in the first place: turning complex data into instant insights without writing a single line of code
In this article, I aim to explain how multimodal LLMs function. Additionally, I will review and summarize roughly a dozen other recent multimodal papers and models published in recent weeks (including Llama 3.2) to compare their approaches.
A range of common patterns is emerging as software products that use generative AI are moving from proof-of-concept to production systems. This article looks at some of the regular patterns used to deal with issues in moving to production. It covers direct prompting, embeddings, evals, hybrid receivers, query rewriting, and retrieval augmented generation.
