Want to see how I compressed 6-week development cycles into 48-hour sprints? Join me with Brain Station 23 and FARZANA AFRIN TISHA to discover: - How I turned $32k development work into $3 daily investments - The exact patterns that led to 480x acceleration - Practical steps you can implement immediately No theory. No enterprise-scale complexity. Just real patterns that work for businesses ready to move fast. I'll share my journey from AI skeptic to practical implementation in 16 weeks, alongside AI Strategist Hande Ocak Basev. November 29th 4PM-5PM CET / 11 AM ET Link in the comments 👇🏼

In our coming episode on the 29th of November, meet Marco Basile to get an insight on how to build an AI company fast & get 480x acceleration! #𝐀𝐈 #𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 #𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 #𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩𝐬 #𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 #𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫

Those who know me know I have a propensity for learning, so this will come as no surprise. But, this years' Summer of learning deserves a little shout out as it's stacked up particularly nicely! London Business School's The Business of AI, LBS Online programme: transforming born-analogue businesses, building and scaling practical and pragmatic AI capability, connecting AI technologies to business value and most importantly, delivering results... + Carruthers and Jackson's Summer School for Data Leaders: the latest trends in data maturity, impact of AI on data strategies, the evolving role of data professionals in this era of AI, ethical data practices, adapting to the changing landscape of technology and regulation... = So. Many. Nuggets. Where these 2 courses intersect gets really interesting - 2 angles on the same opportunity... What a treat!

The Google News Initiative and Blue Engine Collaborative invite North American local news organizations to apply for the GNI AI Lab for News Sustainability. The program will begin in March 2025 and run for approximately six months. Participating publishers will receive regular workshops to help channel innovative thinking toward practical use, as well as group and one-on-one coaching to bring their AI ideas to life.

The experts have already weighed in, so I guess it’s my turn: 🗣️ Excited to announce Reflection 70B, the world’s top open-source model. 405B coming next week – expected to be the best model in the world. The link has images comparing Reflection to GPT/Claude and CoT, but how about comparing Reflection to Reflection? In marketing these days, it’s all about cherry-picking metrics that make you look good. The technique is used seems to be similar to https://lnkd.in/dhCbpsrw #AI #Reflection #LLM #Marketing https://lnkd.in/dyRWx8TG

🚀 Just shipped "Feynman Mode" at Memo - The Smarter Way to Learn with Flashcards, developed in partnership with ElevenLabs. It allows students practice the Feynman Technique with an interactive AI companion. • Real-time feedback as students explain concepts • Natural, dynamic conversations with thoughtful interruptions • Instant identification of knowledge gaps • Guided progression through Bloom's Taxonomy • Available 24/7 for practice and refinement We're proud to partner with ElevenLabs and their grant has made this into a reality. Here is a quick video demo below!

Reflection 70B is going to change the game for open-source AI I’ve been following Matt Shumer’s journey on X, and what he’s doing with HyperWrite and the now the new Reflection 70B model is a perfect example of how small teams with big ideas can compete with the giants. Reflection 70B isn’t just another AI model—it introduces Reflection-Tuning, a self-correction technique that teaches AI to identify and fix its own mistakes. It’s setting a new bar for what open-source models can do and competing head-to-head with the best commercial models out there. Try it here - https://lnkd.in/d6t8HS3W (it might be down and overwhelemed!) https://lnkd.in/dGU4hhKF Here’s what stands out to me: 1. Self-correction is a game changer. We’ve all seen AI hallucinations, but teaching models to course-correct is a breakthrough that brings us closer to more reliable outputs. 2. Speed of innovation: In a landscape dominated by major players, Matt and his team are proving there’s room for fast, focused innovation—even with limited resources. Their upcoming model, Reflection 405B, could be a real disruptor. 3. Lesson learned: Don’t be intimidated by the size of your competitors. In the AI race, there’s plenty of room for niche innovation and adding value. Matt's work shows that small teams can make waves. Excited to see where this goes next. The future of AI isn’t just for the big players—it’s for anyone with the vision and drive to push boundaries. #AI #OpenSource #Innovation #Reflection70B #LLM #HyperWrite #AIRevolution
