People are always asking for recommendations for other great content to read, but few people find that I maintain a full list of recommendations with my blog @interconnectsai (link to page below). Here's the list in no structured order: 1. Helen Toner (@hlntnr), Rising Tide:…
AGI Builders is hosting an event in San Francisco on August 6th! The topic is "Building Production-Ready AI Agents". Letta CEO @charlespacker will be on the panel, along with Reed McGinley-Stempel (CEO of @stytchauth) and @jason_lopatecki (CEO at @arizeai).
We received the Best Paper award of #aied for Askademia! Askademia is a video question-answering platform for live and asynchronous educational videos hosted on any platform! If you want to try Askademia, please reach out through our contact page. Link: askademia.org
Great news! #AIED2025 best paper award goes to the team of @NargesNorouzi - a co-PI of our NSF-AoF project! We are all proud!
We’re launching @RunLLM v2 next week (👀 stay tuned!), and we honestly feel like the product might not be ready. That’s just life in a startup. There’s always more polish you can do, and you’re probably right. But getting something exactly right before you know it’s the…
It's the Friday evening before the launch, and I've yet to write a single line of code. Both exciting (because our engineering team is so on top of things) but also a bit sad. 🥲

🎬 AI Hot Take 🔥 "What makes a bad AI product is a product that's too focused on AI." - UC Berkeley Professor @profjoeyg 👀 Watch the full mini-documentary here! youtu.be/MyjT2nBpbE8
AI is progressing exceedingly fast. It's hard for startups and builders to keep up. Learn how in this mini-documentary by @RunLLM w/ top AI researchers, enterprise builders, and system designers. @dpatil, @profjoeyg, @lateinteraction, @shirshanka, @vsreekanti, @cgwu0530 📽️…
🎬 Hot Take: @shirshanka, Co-founder & CTO of @DataHubCloud “The one thing I’m sick of is everyone saying, ‘Can’t we just solve this with generative AI?’” Shirshanka makes it clear: GenAI isn’t a magic wand. The best results come from a blended approach — grounded in a real…
There's a lot of discussion about the new UX for AI, but everyone seems to be thinking about this in terms of web & mobile changed UX. @profjoeyg and I have a different perspective. A good UX for AI isn't about hiding information behind menus — it's about where and how you work.…
It's annoying to not have budget, but sometimes having budget and not knowing what to do with it is worse. What catches your eye doesn't always add value:
💸Got AI budget? 80% of AI projects fail. Why? Flashy demos. Poor fit. Zero follow-through. This post breaks down what actually works — and how support and engineering teams can pilot AI tools that deliver real outcomes, fast. If you’re evaluating solutions (or already…
🎬 AI Hot Take: @joe_hellerstein, Professor at UC Berkeley “LLMs are guessing machines. Pretty amazing ones — but they’re still guessing.” That’s why you need more than just the model. Neuro-symbolic AI — backed by policies and correctness checks — is where things get…
Can LLMs write code and learn like novice programmers? We release ParaStudent, a framework to study how to make LLMs generate realistic, student-like code, which is often imperfect, iterative, and stylistically diverse 👩🎓 Paper and code shared in the thread 👇
why would we want LLMs to generate "buggy" code? if we want models to be better assistants, they need to better understand the user! if the model can act (e.g. code) like the user, we're a step closer. and what better place to explore this than in education?

🔥 AI LANDSCAPE WEEKLY: New Hot Takes from The Accelerating AI Landscape This week, we released six fresh Hot Takes from our mini-doc series — featuring sharp perspectives from leading researchers and builders on how to approach AI in the enterprise. These clips come from The…
🔥 At ICML 2025, we’re delighted to introduce BFCL V4 Agentic. As function-calling (also called tool-calling) forms the bed-rock of Agentic systems, BFCL V4 Agentic benchmark focuses on tool-calling in real-world agentic settings — including: 🔍 Web search with multi-hop…
We sat down with @lateinteraction, Professor at @MIT and @MIT_CSAIL, founder of @DSPyOSS and former Research Scientist at @databricks, to hear his perspective on where AI is headed. His take? We’re not just building models—we’re rebuilding the entire way we think about…
We love working with our friends @DSPyOSS — one of the coolest OSS communities out there, and they've shared a ton of useful feedback with us. 🙂
An underrated way to learn DSPy. Ask whatever you like to the @RunLLM chatbot at dspy dot ai. The answers are really good, even for tricky questions.
