A Roundup of My Recent Articles on AI and Data Science
Over the past few months I’ve been writing a lot more regularly. If you’ve recently subscribed or haven’t been following along on Medium, here are a few articles you may have missed.
1. Can This Model Run on My Phone?
As more AI applications move onto personal devices, one of the first questions becomes whether a model can actually run on the hardware people already own. In this article, I explore three apps that make it easy to experiment with AI models on real devices.
2. Three ways in which Ollama makes trying new models much easier now
New open weights models are being released at a pace where the real bottleneck is often not access but whether your machine can actually run them or not. In this article, I explore three ways Ollama makes it easier to quickly experiment with new models before committing to a download.
3. Reading Research Papers in the age of LLMs
Keeping up with AI research is harder than ever. In this article, I share how my paper-reading workflow has changed over the years and how I combine manual reading with AI tools to stay on top of new research.
4. Federated Learning, Part 1: The Basics of Training Models Where the Data Lives
What if models could learn from data without moving it to a central server? This article introduces the core ideas behind federated learning and why it matters for privacy-sensitive applications.
5. Federated Learning Part 2: Implementation with the Flower Framework
After covering the fundamentals of federated learning, this article walks through a complete implementation using the Flower framework, including local training, model aggregation, and federated rounds.
