Bigger AI models aren't always better.
For domain-specific tasks, SLMs can often deliver faster, cheaper, and more accurate results. Especially when trained on focused datasets and deployed locally.
In Domain-Specific Small Language Models, @GuglielmoIozzia walks through how to adapt open source models to your domain, reduce costs, build secure APIs, and deploy production-ready SLMs (all with a companion GitHub repo).

PDFs often hide valuable business data inside reports, invoices, and contracts.
In this guide, @manishmshiva shows you how to automatically extract PDF data with Python.
You'll extract text and tables, handle scanned PDFs with OCR, clean the data, and export the results to Excel or CSV.

Microsoft Scout - Finally an agent that can run around the clock and can interact with your local PC. I spent hours getting it up and running so we could look at it Hands-on together. https://t.co/nikb6RTOmc
“Read books. Travel when you can. Learn how to cook one meal exceptionally well. Sit in old bars and talk to strangers. Wear your best jacket to dinner. Appreciate good wine, good music, and good conversation. Do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Set the example for younger men who are watching you. Call your parents. Take long walks. Leave your phone behind sometimes. Become the kind of man people feel better after being around. Life is short, so live it well.”
-J.B. Lloyd
Demis Hassabis recommendation for college students.
He’s still do STEM, math and computer science. Expertise in those fields will help better leverage AI for at least next decade.
Those in non-techical majors, really “lean in to” using latest models. AI labs spending so much time creating new models that they’ve only “scratched the surface” of what the models can actually do (huge “capability overhang”).
And expertise in any field can be turbocharged by smart use of AI.
“Double down on your own agency. The future is still to be written. Don’t listen to anyone that says it’s not.”
Being able to use D3 or Vega natively in Fabric or Power BI has been a dream of mine for a long time. Finally I can fully control the canvas for my data... And without making a mess in DAX or the semantic model!
New challenges arise, but still - great possibilities.
