It's 2025 and we're at the peak of the attention economy  
  
Where Authenticity is king, visibility is currency and people wanna buy from people

Not faceless dehumanized brands  
  
So, they told you LinkedIn was "free marketing" you slapped some posts and called it strategy  
  
You've poured hours crafting the 'perfect' post, only to watch it sink without a trace..  
  
Then it dawned on you, your technical brilliance isn't enough to draw a crowd  
  
Hell, maybe you've even tried mimicking influencers, scrambling for any traction..  
  
Your post got 500 f*cking views... from your friends...  
  
Being ignored is soul-crushing  
  
It's not your fault tough  
  
When you started your company, you didn't sign-up for a degree in an Audience Building, Copywriting and LinkedIn strategy 

And here you are, sacrificing yet another late night for your vision  

"Am I just sabotaging my efforts?"  
  
"Is my life-work meaningless?"  
  
Getting traction feels impossible  
  
You hoped hiring some marketer would save your weekends but..  
  
Tech is a code they can't crack  
  
They can only churn out the lame, soul-sucking crap we all ignore on sight  
  
With armies of founders flooding feeds, your voice dissolves into meaningless white noise  
  
But in the process, you've wasted more of your precious time explaining 101 tech concept and rewriting low-quality drafts

♻️ Repost to save a fellow AI engineer 6 months of trial and error

4 math concepts you need to understand LLMs in 10 minutes.

No PhD required.

I spent 6 months confused by AI papers.
Then I found this breakdown by Giles Thomas.
Everything clicked.

Here's the cheat sheet:

1️⃣ Vectors = Direction + Distance in Space

Think GPS coordinates, but in 50,000 dimensions.
Each position represents a different meaning.
"Cat" lives near "dog" in this space.
"Airplane" lives far away.

That's it. That's embeddings.

2️⃣ Matrices = Space Transformers

Remember rotating shapes in geometry class?
Same thing, but with meaning.

A matrix takes your 50,257-dimensional vocab
Projects it down to 768 dimensions
Then back up again.

It's compression without losing the important stuff.

3️⃣ Dot Product = Similarity Score

Multiply matching positions. Add them up.
Big number = similar vectors.
Small number = different vectors.

This is how LLMs know "king - man + woman = queen"

4️⃣ Neural Network Layers = Just Matrix Math

Remove the activation function and what's left?
Matrix multiplication.
A projection from one space to another.

Add activation back = now it can learn patterns.

The GPT-2 Example That Makes It Real:

Input: "The cat sat on the"
1. Convert each word to a one-hot vector (50,257 dimensions)
2. Project down to embeddings (768 dimensions)  
3. Let attention mechanism figure out relationships
4. Project back up to vocab space
5. Pick highest probability: "mat"

That's literally how ChatGPT works.
Just bigger.

Why This Matters:

Everyone's scared of AI math.
But it's high school algebra in a trench coat.

Once you see through the intimidation,
you can actually build stuff.

♻️ Repost to demystify AI for someone else

Sebastian Raschka, PhD just exposed the biggest secret in AI.

After dissecting 9 flagship LLMs, he found something nobody wants to admit:

We haven't invented a new architecture in 7 years.

The evidence is damning:
• DeepSeek V3: 671B parameters, still a transformer
• Kimi K2: 1 TRILLION parameters, still a transformer
• GPT-OSS: OpenAI's latest, still a transformer
• Llama 4: Meta's flagship, still a transformer

Every "breakthrough" model?
Same skeleton. Different makeup.

Here's what's actually happening:

DeepSeek V3/R1: Compressed attention (MLA) + expert routing (MoE)
Gemma 3: Sliding windows to fake longer context
SmolLM3: Removed position embeddings entirely (!)
Kimi K2: Just made DeepSeek bigger

The brutal reality:

• No new architectures since "Attention is All You Need" (2017)
• Every innovation = efficiency hack
• We're polishing, not inventing

671 billion parameters.
1 trillion parameters.
Same. Damn. Architecture.

While everyone's chasing parameter counts, Sebastian mapped the actual mutations:
• MoE: Use 37B of your 671B parameters
• Sliding attention: Pretend you have infinite context
• MLA: Compress your KV cache and pray

This isn't innovation.
It's optimization theater.

The most honest technical analysis you'll read this year.

Read it. Then ask yourself:
If we can't innovate past transformers, what happens when we hit the parameter wall?

The best AI engineers master PyTorch. The rest just import it.

Here's how to join the first group:

1️⃣ Master the Foundation
🔸 NumPy arrays → PyTorch tensors: https://lnkd.in/grmapDsK
🔸 Tensor operations that matter: https://lnkd.in/gjk3ErXu

2️⃣ Learn PyTorch Basics (Skip the Fluff)
🔸 60-minute blitz (actually 60 mins): https://lnkd.in/gU86ZGqt
🔸 What torch.nn really does: https://lnkd.in/gEmCGg6R
🔸 Daniel Bourke's 1-day crash course: https://lnkd.in/gCdBG_jc

3️⃣ Understand Autograd (The Magic Behind It All)
🔸 Karpathy's micrograd repo: https://lnkd.in/g_hTUmji
🔸 Karpathy's micrograd video: https://lnkd.in/gxM7h9E9
🔸 See gradients flow in real-time: https://lnkd.in/gKdwgAzz

4️⃣ Build Real Networks
🔸 Aladdin's playlist (underrated gem): https://lnkd.in/gP3k_rNx
🔸 NLP from scratch (no shortcuts): https://lnkd.in/g77inpPa
🔸 Adversarial examples (break things): https://lnkd.in/gFDzkep8

5️⃣ Production PyTorch (Where 90% Fail)
🔸 Distributed training without tears: https://lnkd.in/gdPZDnxB
🔸 Profile before you scale: https://lnkd.in/gfs7JQ6R
🔸 Mixed precision (2x speedup): https://lnkd.in/gikyETYK
🔸 Performance tuning secrets: https://lnkd.in/g8BE7J28

The uncomfortable truth:

Most "PyTorch experts" can't debug a CUDA out-of-memory error.
They copy tutorials. They call high-level APIs.

But when production breaks? Crickets.

Start with micrograd. Build intuition.
Then scale up. One tensor at a time.

The AI bubble is 75% of US GDP growth.

Read that again.

I spent the weekend analyzing Deutsche Bank's latest report.
What I found made me cancel my AI startup plans.

The dot-com bubble was 15.6% of GDP when it popped.
AI is already 5x bigger. And growing.

Here's the brutal reality nobody wants to admit:

1️⃣ Every AI Company Is Bleeding Cash
• OpenAI: Losing money on every $200/month subscription
• Break-even price: $2,000/month (10x current)
• 2026 projected loss: $14 billion
• 2029 projected loss: "Hundreds of billions"

2️⃣ AI Infrastructure Is a Money Pit
Data centers need $2 trillion annual revenue to break even.
Actual AI industry revenue: $390 billion.
That's a $1.6 trillion gap. Every. Single. Year.

3️⃣ AI Adoption Is Dead in the Water
• 95% of AI pilots fail (MIT study)
• AI coding tools make devs SLOWER (METR report)
• 77% of workers say AI increased their workload
• Adoption rates missed predictions 2 years running

The uncomfortable truth:

This isn't 1999. When the dot-com bubble popped, e-commerce was real.
It bounced back.

AI profitability is mathematically impossible.
The efficient compute frontier guarantees it.
Floridi's Conjecture proves agentic AI can't exist.

When this pops, there's no bouncing back.

What's keeping it alive? Your 401k.
70% of US venture capital is flowing into AI.
Half the S&P 500's growth is just tech companies building data centers.

Remove AI spending and US growth is already at zero.
We're IN the recession. AI is just hiding it.

Your AI agent has dementia. LangChain just dropped the cure: 

DeepAgents CLI with actual persistent memory.

This project solves the most infuriating problem in AI development, agents that forget everything the moment you close your terminal. 

It gives your AI assistant an actual memory that persists across sessions. 

Key Features:

✅ True persistent memory
Your agent writes markdown notes to ~/.deepagents/memories/ and reads them before every response. Like a human taking notes.

✅ File operations that work: 
Read, write, and edit files in your project with diff previews and human approval. No more "I can't access your filesystem."

✅ Shell command execution
Run tests, install packages, deploy code - all with your permission. Because we're not insane.

✅ Multi-agent personalities
Create specialized agents (backend-dev, frontend-wizard, devops-guru) each with their own memory and expertise.

Getting started is stupidly simple. 
Just install and run: pip install deepagents-cli && deepagents

Harrison said they built this because copy-pasting context 47 times a day is insanity (we agree).

Check out the code, see the full toolset, and contribute on GitHub!

90,000 AI papers published on Arxiv.

Ilya Sutskever says you only need 27 to understand 90% of what matters.

I just went through his list. Here's what shocked me:

What's NOT on the list:
❌ No RAG papers (everyone's obsessed with retrieval)
❌ No prompt engineering papers (despite the hype)
❌ No LangChain or agent frameworks
❌ Nothing about fine-tuning optimization
❌ Zero papers on "emergent abilities"

What IS on the list:
✅ "Attention is All You Need" (obviously)
✅ "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of RNNs" (2015, still matters)
✅ "Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models" (this is the one)
✅ "Kolmogorov Complexity and Algorithmic Randomness" (wait, what?)

The pattern I noticed:

1️⃣ Ilya's not telling you to read papers about using AI.
He's telling you to read papers about how intelligence works.
Three categories dominate his list:
Fundamentals (the architecture breakthroughs)
Attention mechanisms
Residual connections
LSTMs and sequence modeling

2️⃣ Scaling (why bigger actually works)
Scaling laws
Pipeline parallelism
Training dynamics

3️⃣ Compression (the theory underneath)
Minimum description length
Kolmogorov complexity
Information theory

Here's the controversial take:
If you're only reading papers from 2023-2024, you're studying tactics.

Ilya's list is strategy:

"Attention is All You Need" is from 2017.
"Understanding LSTM Networks" is from 2015.
"Deep Residual Learning" is from 2015.
The foundations haven't changed.
We're just scaling them.

The most surprising paper on the list:

"The First Law of Complexodynamics"
It's not even about neural networks.
It's about how complex systems evolve.

This is what separates engineers who use AI from engineers who understand AI.

If you only read 5:

1) Attention is All You Need (transformers)
2) Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models (why GPT works)
3) Understanding LSTM Networks (sequence modeling)
4) Deep Residual Learning (why deep networks train)
5) Kolmogorov Complexity (the theory of intelligence)

There's a special hell in AI/ML engineering.

It hits around Year 2.
I call it the "valley of almost useful."

You're past "Hello World" tutorials.
Not good enough for real jobs.
Stuck building demos nobody uses.

The daily torture:

Morning: "Today I'll implement that paper"
Noon: Your embeddings are somehow 7-dimensional
Evening: Stack Overflow has zero answers
Night: "Maybe I should go back to web dev"

The worst part?

You know just enough to be dangerous.
Just not enough to be valuable.

🔥 The 3 Levels of "Almost Useful"

Level 1: The Overengineering Phase
Every problem needs a neural network.
CSV parsing? Better use GPT-4.
Your hello world has 17 dependencies.

Level 2: The Imposter Syndrome Pit
Everyone else seems to ship AI products daily.
Your Twitter feed is pure pain.
"Just deployed my 5th AI startup this week!"
Meanwhile, you can't get embeddings to work.

Level 3: The Clarity Moment
You realize 90% of "AI Engineers" are just prompt engineers.
Most production AI is boring Python scripts.
The magic isn't in the model - it's in the problem.

Here's what got me through the valley:

1️⃣ Ship broken things
My first production model had 67% accuracy.
Still saved the company $200K/year.
Perfect is the enemy of deployed.

2️⃣ Join a startup, not FAANG
Startups let you touch everything.
Break things. Learn fast. Ship faster.
Big tech will teach you one tiny slice.

3️⃣ Build boring solutions
Stop chasing cutting-edge.
Most businesses need basic classification.
Not your 12-layer transformer architecture.

4️⃣ Document everything
Future you will thank present you.
Especially when debugging at 3 AM.
"Why did I set embedding_dim=7?"

5️⃣ Find your valley friends
The loneliest part is thinking you're alone.
You're not. We all went through this.
Some of us just hide it better.

The uncomfortable truth:

The valley of almost useful is necessary.
It's where you learn that AI isn't magic.
It's engineering.

And engineering is mostly debugging.
And crying.
But mostly debugging.

Still in the valley?
Good. That's where real engineers are made.

Not in bootcamps.
Not in courses.
In the trenches, shipping broken code that somehow works.

Welcome to the club.

P.S. That senior engineer who seems to know everything? They googled it 5 minutes before the meeting. We're all just better at pretending now.

Just watched an ML engineer at a fintech startup build a production fraud detection model in 2 hours.

From raw data to deployed.
No feature engineering. No pipeline code.
She just typed what she needed in plain English.

I was skeptical. Had to see it myself.

She opened Plexe, typed "fraud detection for card transactions" and pointed it at their Postgres db.
That's it.

2 hours later: deployed model with 0.89 AUC on 3M transactions.
Here's what actually happens: 

1️⃣ Describe your problem in plain English
"Product embedding model for search"
"Customer lifetime value predictor"
"Fraud detection system"
No templates. No configuration files.

2️⃣ Point it at your data
Postgres, Snowflake, S3, whatever you're using
It analyzes your schema automatically
No manual feature mapping

3️⃣ It handles what AutoML skips
• Engineers features from raw data (AutoML just uses columns as-is)
• Generates comprehensive evaluation reports with failure analysis
• Shows exactly where and why your model breaks
• Gives prioritized improvement recommendations
• Deploys with monitoring

The critical difference:
❌ AutoML: "Here's a model with 0.87 accuracy. Good luck."
✅ Plexe: "Here's why it works on these patterns, why it fails on those edge cases, and the three changes that will improve it most."

This is what changes:
You stop being a data plumber.
You start being a problem solver again.

I pushed every agent framework until it broke. Most broke fast.

CrewAI vs LangGraph vs Agno vs PydanticAI vs Atomic Agents...
Plus SmolAgents, Mastra, and AutoGen.

The brutal truth:

Most devs hate the popular ones.

CrewAI and AutoGen? "Tricky to debug"
LangGraph? "Overly complicated abstractions"
SmolAgents' CodeAgent? "Cool idea, doesn't always work"

What actually matters:

🎯 Control vs Agency
Some frameworks let LLMs run wild (AutoGen)
Others keep them on a tight leash (Atomic Agents)
Guess which ones actually ship to production?

🛠️ Abstraction Level
High abstraction = Quick start, debugging nightmare
Low abstraction = More code, but you know what broke
Pick your poison.

💀 The Learning Curve
LangGraph: Steep as hell, but scales
CrewAI: Easy start, hits a wall
PydanticAI: Write everything yourself

The uncomfortable truth:
"AI agent frameworks are some of the worst forms of abstraction"

But here's what actually works:
• Agno for developer experience
• LangGraph for multi-agent at scale
• PydanticAI when you need control
• CrewAI if you're just prototyping

Half these frameworks won't exist in 2 years.
The winners? Whoever makes debugging possible.

Saved you 2 weeks of testing. You're welcome.
♻️ Repost if you've been burned by agent framework promises

a16z just published their AI coding report.

The math blew my mind:

AI coding costs $10k/year per developer.
But creates $100k+ in value.
That's $3 trillion in new GDP.

The entire economy of France. From a few Silicon Valley startups.

Here's what nobody's talking about:

Software development just shifted from pure people cost to people + compute cost.

Your junior developer in Bangalore?
Now competing with Claude at $10k/year.

The uncomfortable truth:

We're watching the end of cost-based outsourcing.

Not because AI replaces developers.
But because location doesn't matter when compute costs dominate.

I tested the numbers myself:

• 100k context window filled
• Claude Opus 4.1 reasoning mode
• 10k output tokens
• 3 queries/hour, 7 hours/day

= $10,500 annually

That's more than many offshore developers.

But here's the kicker:

The companies winning aren't cutting developers.
They're hiring MORE.

Why?

Because when productivity doubles, the math changes:
• 1 developer + AI = 2x output
• Cost per feature drops 50%
• Suddenly every project has positive ROI

The report shows clear winners already:

Cursor: $500M ARR in 15 months
Windsurf: $2.4B Google acquisition
Claude Code: Started a war with its own distribution channel

The pattern is obvious:

Lower barriers → More projects → More complexity → More developers needed

AWS didn't kill sysadmins.
WordPress didn't kill web developers.
AI won't kill software engineers.

It just changes what they do.

University CS programs?
Already obsolete.

Teaching algorithms when AI writes them faster?
Teaching syntax when AI handles implementation?
Teaching debugging when AI prevents most bugs?

That's like teaching calligraphy in the age of keyboards.

The real skill now:

Knowing when the AI is hallucinating.
Dragging it out of architectural holes.
Translating business needs into prompts.

The $3 trillion opportunity isn't in replacing developers.

It's in making every developer 10x more valuable.

While universities update their curriculums,
smart developers are already adapting.

Are you?

Plexe is a Python library that turns "I need to predict customer churn" into a working ML model.

No feature engineering. No pipeline code. Just natural language intent and your data.

It integrates with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ray, making it easier to build sentiment analysis, fraud detection, and forecasting models in minutes instead of weeks.

Plexe doesn't just build the model - it generates a thorough evaluation report showing exactly where and why it performs well (or doesn't).

A powerful tool for anyone working at the intersection of product development and machine learning.

The most underrated AI agents video on YouTube has 155K views.

It should have 15 millions.

Dexter breaks down why coding agents actually fail in production.
Not theory. What broke when they shipped real agent systems to real software teams.

The line that changed how I think about agents:
"Everything is context engineering."

He shows:

→ Why naive back-and-forth prompting doesn't scale (and what does)
→ Spec-first development that keeps agents on track
→ Context compaction strategies for long-running workflows
→ How subagents handle complexity without exploding

No demo theater. Just hard-won lessons from production.

I just watched Sebastian Raschka build the entire attention mechanism from scratch in 2 hours.

No abstractions. No "just use torch.nn.MultiHeadAttention."

Line-by-line Python until it clicks.

This is 's breakdown of how LLMs actually work.

Step 1️⃣ Basic self-attention (no weights) 
Shows you the raw math: how a model decides which words matter.
You see why "bank" in "river bank" gets different attention than "bank" in "savings bank."

Step 2️⃣ Add learnable parameters 
Now the model can learn what to pay attention to.
This is where it stops being a simple lookup and becomes intelligence.

Step 3️⃣ Causal masking 
The trick that makes GPT work: tokens can only attend to previous tokens.
Without this, the model cheats during training.

Step 4️⃣ Multi-head attention 
The breakthrough: run 8 attention mechanisms in parallel.
One head learns syntax. Another learns semantics. Another learns long-range dependencies.
This is why transformers work.

👉 What makes this different:

Most tutorials either:
Show you the math (incomprehensible)
Show you the PyTorch API (you learn nothing)

Sebastian does both.

You see the math implemented in code, step by step.

By the end, you understand why attention_weights = softmax(Q @ K.T / sqrt(d_k)) isn't magic.

It's just weighted averaging with learnable weights.

💡The moment it clicked for me:

Attention isn't complicated.
It's just "which words should influence this word's representation?"
Then you do that for every word.
Then you stack it 96 times (GPT-4).

That's it.

The Lovable for Data Analysis Just Dropped

Upload a file → Ask a question → Get your answer.

No Python, no SQL, no notebooks required.

Compare that to what you’re doing now: 

❎ Write SQL queries or Python scripts 
❎ Debug when they break
❎ Switch between notebooks, terminals, dashboards 
❎ Wait for a data scientist to help you

This agent actually understands your data:

✅ Sees your structure, knows how to query it 
✅ Maintains context across your workflow 
✅ Fixes its own errors
✅ Generates insights, not code you need to interpret

This is a big deal for anyone doing real data analysis work. 

You get the power of a data science team without needing to become one.

Traditional RAG: retrieve → generate → pray

Agentic RAG: retrieve → validate → retry → succeed

One is a pipeline. The other is a feedback loop.

I just built this Agentic RAG system with LangGraph + Milvus

It knows when it's wrong, and fixes itself

Here’s how:

Router: "Can I answer without retrieval?" 
✅ Yes: Skip to generation 
❌ No: Retrieve from Milvus

Grader: "Are these chunks actually relevant?" 
✅ Good: Generate answer 
❌ Bad: Rewrite query, loop back

Validator: "Does this answer match the sources?" 
 ✅ Yes: Return to user 
❌ No: Retry with different approach

It's a graph with feedback loops, not a one-shot pipeline.

The difference:
Traditional RAG commits to one path. No second chances.
Agentic RAG loops back, validates, catches mistakes, and retries until it's right.

You get a system that debugs itself before you see the output.

Why this stack:
LangGraph = control flow primitives (routing, looping, branching) 
Milvus, created by Zilliz = production-grade vector search at scale
Together: RAG that thinks instead of guesses.

Full implementation 👇

This is the RAG architecture pattern that will become standard.
♻️ Repost to save a fellow engineer from another week of RAG debugging

BFCM isn't won by the brand with the best products.

It's won by the brand that sees what's breaking first.

Most operators spend BFCM like this: 

9 AM: Campaign's crushing it, scale to $10K/day
11 AM: ROAS drops 40%, nobody knows why
2 PM: Still diagnosing
5 PM: $6K burned on a broken campaign

The strategy wasn't wrong. 

You just couldn't see the problem fast enough. 

Diagnosing "why is ROAS dropping?" right now: 

→ Open Meta Ads Manager
→ Check Shopify analytics
→ Pull GA4
→ Cross-reference Klaviyo
→ Export to spreadsheet
→ Try to connect the dots

20 minutes later you've burned $3K.

Triple Whale + Moby give you real-time answers from your complete data stack. 

👉 https://lnkd.in/gtgB8GJw

Moby has real-time access to all of it. 

Ask Moby: "Why did ROAS drop?"

Get: "iOS campaign CTR crashed 67% after creative refresh. Top SKU went out of stock an hour ago. Traffic's converting to lower-margin backup products."

Not a guess. The actual answer.

One brand caught this: 

The campaign was showing 187% ROAS. 
Moby a flagged 41% return rate. 
Actual ROAS after was returns: 73%. 

They were about to scale into a loss.

During BFCM, 20 minutes to diagnose = thousands in wasted spend. 

The brands that win can see problems in seconds, not hours. 

And yes, I am a Triple Whale partner.

sam3 is seriously a step change improvement over sam2

the model is seriously good, glad they brought back text prompts. the automatic segmentation isn't as good as i hoped it to be...but it still works quite well. 

i also got it to output image embeddings and that was cool to visualize in the app

qwen3vl is literally the best model i've used for video usecases. blows my mind

hosting a virtual event tomorrow about document ai

you may or may not find it interesting, but i guarantee you'll learn something

join me here: https://lnkd.in/dFXPimVc

sony ai released a pretty cool dataset called the fairness human centric image benchmark, super high quality labels

instructions for downloading and parsing the dataset into fiftyone format can be found here: https://lnkd.in/g_VwxJx4

physical AI is top of mind as the next frontier for deep learning. but it'll only succeed if you have good datasets

language models scaled with web-scale text. 

vision models got ImageNet. 

now Voxel51 and NVIDIA are trying to do the same thing for physical AI 

autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, anything that moves around atoms.

building these systems means millions of hours of testing in high-fidelity sims before you can actually deploy anything. 

petabytes of multimodal sensor data from various modalities

 LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMUs. 

but over 50% of simulations end up completely unusable because the input data is bad.

even small calibration or timing errors between sensors cascade through your neural reconstructions. 

you waste weeks and burn through millions in compute costs before you realize what went wrong.

the new FiftyOne Physical AI Workbench. it integrates with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos and basically sits at the start of your sim pipeline to validate, clean up, and prep your multimodal data before it hits neural reconstruction and synthetic data generation.

what it does:

- automatically audits physical AI inputs across 75+ critical checkpoints

- transforms raw sensor streams into structured, searchable datasets

- triggers accurate neural reconstructions and generates synthetic scene variations

this means fewer wasted compute hours. 

iteration loops go from weeks to hours. 

you build safer, more reliable systems on data you can actually trust.

i recently integrated 4 ocr models into fiftyone as remote zoo models these handle text extraction and document parsing. 

all available as remote zoo sources, you can get started with a few lines of code

different approaches for different needs:

1. mineru-2.5

1.2b params, two-stage strategy: global layout on downsampled image, then fine-grained recognition on native-resolution crops. 

handles headers, footers, lists, code blocks. strong on complex math formulas (mixed chinese-english) and tables (rotated, borderless, partial-border).

good for: documents with complex layouts and mathematical content

https://lnkd.in/dSwimdvp

deepseek-ocr

dual-encoder (sam + clip) for "contextual optical compression." 

outputs structured markdown with bounding boxes. has five resolution modes (tiny/small/base/large/gundam). gundam mode is the default - uses multi-view processing (1024×1024 global + 640×640 patches for details). 

supports custom prompts for specific extraction tasks.

good for: complex pdfs and multi-column layouts where you need structured output

https://lnkd.in/dhJn2h-v

olmocr-2

built on qwen2.5-vl, 7b params. outputs markdown with yaml front matter containing metadata (language, rotation, table/diagram detection). 

converts equations to latex, tables to html. labels figures with markdown syntax. reads documents like a human would.

good for: academic papers and technical documents with equations and structured data

https://lnkd.in/dNdTQYKg

kosmos-2.5

microsoft's 1.37b param multimodal model. two modes: ocr (text with bounding boxes) or markdown generation. automatically optimizes hardware usage (bfloat16 for ampere+, float16 for older gpus, float32 for cpu). handles diverse document types including handwritten text.

good for: general-purpose ocr when you need either coordinates or clean markdown

https://lnkd.in/dCTfGfV8


two modes typical across these models: detection (bounding boxes) and extraction (text output)

i also built/revamped the caption viewer plugin for better text visualization in the app: 

https://lnkd.in/dBebWdga

i've also got two events poppin off for document visual ai:

- nov 6 (tomorrow) with a stellar line up of speakers: https://lnkd.in/gkBEY4_r

- a deep dive into document visual ai with just me:

hype for this new integration, and proud of the team for shipping it at lightning speed. big ups to Daniel and AdonAI for goin beast mode on this one

🚀 Introducing Physical AI Workbench — integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse NuRec and NVIDIA Cosmos to solve the biggest bottleneck in physical AI.  

More than half of all physical AI simulations fail — not from bad models, but from bad input data. A timestamp off by milliseconds or a calibration drift of a few degrees can cascade through your neural reconstructions, leaving you with unusable results after weeks and millions in wasted compute. 

FiftyOne Physical AI Workbench sits at the start of your simulation pipeline and provides turnkey access to NVIDIA technology to ensure every simulation run begins with trustworthy data: 

✅ Audits 75+ critical checkpoints to ensure every reconstruction starts with validated inputs 
🎯 Enriches raw sensor streams into structured, searchable datasets 
🔗 Integrates directly with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos for high-fidelity reconstruction and synthetic data generation. 

The result: an end-to-end workflow that prevents downstream failures — cutting iteration cycles from weeks to hours and eliminating GPU waste on failed reconstructions. We’re excited to see this workflow power autonomous vehicles NVIDIA DRIVE and robotics NVIDIA Robotics development teams move faster with higher accuracy.
