What began as a side project in late 2024 has grown into something pretty useful! With the latest case studies from @LangChainAI's Interrupt conference, we've now curated over 700 real-world LLMOps implementations. Fresh Production Patterns from the Field: 🏭 Factory: 5,000+…

Excited to release DailyBench! DailyBench is an automated 4x daily benchmark that evaluates frontier model APIs on a fork of HELMLite. I built DailyBench to see if we could detect model providers quantizing weights, compressing the kv-cache, or swapping models during peak loads.
As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

I see the Claude code PMs have learned something in their 2-week stay at Cursor
imagine if gas stations didn't tell you how many gallons you were getting because car mileage was a trade secret and the gas station owned the car companies and you could either buy way overpriced gas per-mile or a monthly "max gas subscription" that turns off randomly sometimes
We’re rolling out new weekly rate limits for Claude Pro and Max in late August. We estimate they’ll apply to less than 5% of subscribers based on current usage.

Unfortunately he is very malnourished. There is no more donkey food for sale in Gaza. We give our donkeys and horse hay mixed with dog food. The donkeys and horses of Gaza are starving with their owners
went to see the donkey that collapsed yesterday (we posted about him last night). Sa'ed thought he might have to call the doctor, but he is stable now. He is doing better. His owner will bring him to the medical point on Saturday.
I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.
Breaking: An Israeli airstrike just killed Adam Yahya Abu Harbid, a cameraman for Al-Quds Al-Youm channel, along with all members of his family, after targeting their tent in Al-Yarmouk market in Gaza City.
Here's the link to the annotated notes for chapters 1 and 2 from the textbook. Others will follow as we progress in the course. zenml.io/blog/the-annot…
Today we restarted the @HamelHusain / @sh_reya evals course and to accompany this first week's class I'm publishing the first part of a series of annotated posts to accompany the course textbook. (Link in the 🧵) The aim was to give more examples from the @zenml_io LLMOps…
MLOps feels broken when it comes to AI agents! ZenML bridges the gap between classical ML and modern AI, giving you one unified framework for your entire AI stack. Here's why it's revolutionary: 🔄 Same MLOps principles for models AND agents ⚡ Pipeline everything from sklearn…
Would be closely watching this poll run by my good friend @strickvl on how folks are deploying their agentic AI stack.
Thinking about + working on agent deployment this week. From what I see + read in the @zenml_io LLMOps database entries, it seems that many or most of the serious enterprise deployments start out with Kubernetes systems and they build tooling around that. For tiny teams or…
And I’m currently feeling profound dizziness again, my hands are trembling so much that I can barely control their movement, I am unable to stand, my stomach is in pain, and sweat is pouring from my forehead. Waiting to get my first piece of bread to eat since two days. Yet, all…
Today I didn’t do any journalistic work. I left the house to the market to find anything to eat. I found nothing. No one found anything. How do I enter the room of my family, how do i tell my mother, that they have to starve another night tonight? Tell me what should I tell them?
