This IEEE Senior Member Develops AI Tools for E-Commerce Sites

Balaji Ingole rarely saw televisions while growing up in Udgir, India. No one in the small Maharashtra village had computers or phones. Only one household owned a television, and neighbors often gathered there to watch shows together. Ingole never even saw a computer growing up. It wasn’t until he reached middle school that he encountered a computer lab, an experience he says changed his life. Almost immediately, he says, the machine felt like a window into a different scale of possibility for him. Balaji Ingole Employer Amla Commerce in Milwaukee Title Project manager Member grade Senior member Alma maters COEP Technological University and Welingkar Institute of Management, both in India “I was very studious and not very social, always reading or solving problems in a math textbook,” he…

How AWS Marketplace is using AI agents to meet the rising demand for AI agents

Increasingly, AI agents are handling the nitty-gritty admin and due diligence tasks, but agent-powered marketplaces won't replace live human sales reps or engineers anytime soon.

llm 0.32.1

Release: llm 0.32.1 Fresh installs of LLM stopped working the other day because the OpenAI Python library dropped its usage of httpx, and it turned out LLM depended on that library but only installed it via a transitive openai dependency. This dot-release fixes that for the moment by pinning to openai, and a soon-to-drop 0.33 release will switch from httpx to httpx2. Tags: httpx, openai, llm

Agentic Data Operations Platform (ADOP): Data engineering into hours

The Agentic Data Operations Platform (ADOP) is a reference architecture on Amazon Bedrock that uses specialized AI agents to automate the full Bronze-to-Silver-to-Gold data pipeline lifecycle, compressing new-source onboarding from weeks to hours while keeping data governance and compliance controls inline.

Reduce RAG costs on Amazon Bedrock with query-aware compression

Input tokens are often a meaningful part of the cost of running Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) at scale. This post describes a query-aware context compression pattern on Amazon Bedrock: after retrieval, a smaller model filters retrieved chunks against the query before the primary model answers, reducing input tokens and cost while preserving answer quality.

Stop Making TUIs

Stop Making TUIs Thomas Ptacek advocates for building real native user interfaces for even the smallest of personal tools, because coding agents have reduced the cost of getting a usable-enough GUI up and running to almost nothing. I wrote about my vibe-coded bandwidth and GPU monitoring macOS task bar apps back in March, and I'm still using both of those on a daily basis. I'm not habitually knocking out real UIs for my other projects yet, but I'm running out of excuses! Thomas: If you haven’t tried your hand at turning one of your 500 throwaway CLIs into a native app, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Go build a native UI. It’ll probably change the way you think.

Quoting Matt Webb

After I released version 1.0, I figured I would have to do the rotations myself. So I sat down with ChatGPT and I didn’t get it to write the code, but I got it to educate me. With a patient, interactive tutor, I was able to finally do what I hadn’t by reading books and asking mathematician friends – I learnt how to use quaternions just enough to make the app work. So learning doesn’t stop just because I outsource a bunch of thinking to AI. It pushes me to learn more. I like that as an outcome. — Matt Webb, Galactic Compass 2: now with new augmented reality mode Tags: matt-webb, generative-ai, chatgpt, education, ai, llms
