Never stop learning.

[AI Engineer @aiDotEngineer]

The highly-anticipated MCP workshop with @MaheshMurag is now live!

Join @AnthropicAI Applied AI Engineer (+ creator of MCP) @MaheshMurag in this full 2-hour workshop covering the Model Context Protocol, where he covers:

00:00 Introduction
00:35 What is MCP?
09:39 Building with MCP
26:25 MCP & Agents
1:13:15 What's next for MCP?

YT version in next post.

Just recorded a demo here to showcase what's possible with Claude Engineer v3.

I believe computers should be moldable things, tools that you can use and shape in your hands almost like clay.

This framework is my push toward that direction.

Tonight I’ll be helping host Building AI Agents Wine Night 2 - RAG + Agents at Tala Wine in SF. Stop by for a glass of wine, to chat with some great people, and learn more about this topic.

I just updated Claude Engineer to support multiple file/folder creation and edits, simultaneously.

It's the closest I've felt to having real-life superpowers.

Watch 3.5 Sonnet create a fully functional web app, 6 files, and 5 folders in one shot.

Available now in the repo 🔥

Great summary of a compelling paper!

[Daniel @djacobs7]

In honor of gpt-4o - at our last paper club we took a look at how a model like gpt-4o is built.

This paper was "A Survey on Multimodal Large Language Models".

I’ll be helping host an AI Agent happy hour at Tala Wine in SF on May 21st

Quick-n-dirty 🧵on understanding DSPy as 4 related but different things.

1. A new category of ML models, Language Programs.
2. A programming model (abstractions) for expressing & optimizing LPs
3. New optimizers: ML algorithms to tune the parameters of LPs
4. A library for 1-3⤵️

Raising a little garden from latent space

On M2 Max, using SD 1.5, ControlNet, TripoSR, and three.js. Sped up for brevity.

Enchanted is an excellent open source macOS/iOS app for working with local LLMs. Definitely check it out if you haven't! @amgauge is doing great work.

[Augustinas Malinauskas @amgauge]

With Enchanted you can now use @ollama in any app! Notes, iMessage, Chrome, Email - sky is the limit. Completions is the most powerful features I ever built allowing to use LLMs outside the chat.

This is incredible work - MIPRO shows 11% gains over an existing DSPy program!

[Krista Opsahl-Ong @kristahopsalong]

Got a pipeline with **multiple prompts**, like a DSPy program? What's the right way to jointly optimize these prompts?

Introducing MIPRO, a Multi-prompt Instruction Proposal Optimizer.

We integrated MIPRO into DSPy. It can deliver +11% gains over existing DSPy optimizers!

Oh, look, I hear there's a DSPy meetup in San Francisco on Wednesday (May 1st) from 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM with @ArizePhoenix, @cohere, @weaviate_io.

See you there, everyone!

[Alex Bain @alexsbain]

@lateinteraction @ArizePhoenix @cohere @weaviate_io Extremely excited for this meetup and your workshop! 🎉

@djacobs7 I’d be interested
