Why Agent Crashes Are Nothing Like Database Crashes

Master Full-stack AI Engineering In today's newsletter: The operating system for AI research labs! Why agent crashes are nothing like database crashes. [Hands-on] Deploy a Qwen 3 Agentic RAG. TODAY'S ISSUE OPEN-SOURCE The operating system for AI research labs! Transformer Lab is an open-source ML platform that orchestrates GPUs across any cloud and runs any training or eval workflow you define: supports LoRA, QLoRA, DPO, ORPO, SIMPO use it from a GUI, CLI, or agent skill. works with MLX,...

Master Full-stack AI Engineering In today's newsletter: Fine-tune any LLM directly from Claude! Speculative decoding in LLMs. tSNE Projections can be misleading. TODAY'S ISSUE fine-tuning Fine-tune any LLM directly from Claude! We built a Hugging Face fine-tuning studio that lets you fine-tune any LLM directly from Claude: The app connects to the HF Hub for model and dataset search. It handles chat template formatting for the training data, and lets you configure LoRA rank, quantization,...

Master Full-stack AI Engineering In today's newsletter: Markov decision processes and value functions in RL. How LLM inference works internally. TODAY'S ISSUE AI engineering Markov decision processes and value functions in RL Last week, we launched a hands-on course series on reinforcement learning. Part 2 is now available, and you can read it here → Reinforcement learning nanodegree part 2 Part 1 gave you the RL interaction loop and the exploration-exploitation tradeoff through bandits, and...

Master Full-stack AI Engineering In today's newsletter: Two skills to fix the context gap in Claude Code. Naive RAG vs Blockify, explained visually. DevOps vs. MLOps vs. LLMOps. TODAY'S ISSUE Hands-on Two skills to fix the context gap in Claude Code Claude Code has two context gaps that no amount of CLAUDE.md optimization will fix. The first is web scraping. web_fetch doesn’t return raw page content. It runs the page through a smaller model and returns a summary with a 125-character quote...

Master Full-stack AI Engineering In today's newsletter: Technical LLM interview question! 10 must-use slash commands in Claude Code. [Hands-on] Build a Real-time Federated Data Engine for Agents. TODAY'S ISSUE Agents Technical LLM interview question! You have 80,000 agent trajectories from production. You need to find top 100 worth reviewing to improve your agent. No LLM allowed to evaluate trajectories. How will you do this? Let’s look at some approaches. The simplest solution one could...

Master Full-stack AI Engineering In today's newsletter: The anatomy of diffusion LLMs. Evaluate MCP-powered LLM apps. 20 most common magic methods in Python OOP. TODAY'S ISSUE Deep dive The anatomy of diffusion LLMs This week’s deep dive covers one of the most important architectural shifts happening in language modeling right now: diffusion LLMs. Read the full Part 1 deep dive here → Diffusion LLMs Part 1 It builds a complete understanding from first principles: how autoregressive generation...

Master Full-stack AI Engineering In today's newsletter: Open-source plugin to give coding agents live web data. Build agents that don’t fail in production. Manual RAG pipeline vs unified knowledge bases (with demo). TODAY'S ISSUE together with bright data Open-source plugin to give coding agents live web data A key limitation of coding agents today is that they can’t fetch live web data on their own. And platforms like LinkedIn, X, and Reddit (where a ton of developer discussions happen) are...
