Introduction: Multimodal AI processes and generates content across multiple modalities—text, images, audio, and video. This capability enables applications that were previously impossible: describing images, generating images from text, transcribing and understanding audio, and creating unified experiences that combine all these modalities. This guide covers the practical aspects of building multimodal applications: vision-language models for image […]

Semantic Kernel: Microsoft’s Enterprise SDK for Building AI-Powered Applications
Introduction: Semantic Kernel is Microsoft’s open-source SDK for integrating Large Language Models into applications. Originally developed to power Microsoft 365 Copilot, it has evolved into a comprehensive framework for building AI-powered applications with enterprise-grade features. Unlike other LLM frameworks that focus primarily on Python, Semantic Kernel provides first-class support for both C# and Python, making […]
Read more →Embedding Models Compared: OpenAI vs Cohere vs Voyage vs Open Source
Introduction: Embedding models convert text into dense vectors that capture semantic meaning. Choosing the right embedding model significantly impacts search quality, retrieval accuracy, and application performance. This guide compares leading embedding models—OpenAI’s text-embedding-3, Cohere’s embed-v3, Voyage AI, and open-source alternatives like BGE and E5. We cover benchmarks, pricing, dimension trade-offs, and practical guidance on selecting […]

Introduction In today’s fast-paced world, the need for rapid and secure software development has never been more crucial. As organizations strive to meet these demands, the DevSecOps approach has emerged as a powerful solution that integrates security practices into the DevOps process. By combining development, security, and operations, DevSecOps enables teams to create high-quality, secure […]

Amazon Bedrock Multi-Agent Collaboration reached GA at re:Invent 2024, enabling supervisor agents to orchestrate specialised sub-agents across enterprise domains. This is the production reality check: routing quality, token cost multiplication, failure modes that don’t surface until scale, parallel invocation patterns, and the compliance gap that catches regulated industry teams — Guardrails don’t propagate from supervisor to sub-agents.

Last year, I deployed an AI model to a mobile device. The first attempt failed—the model was too large, inference was too slow, and battery drain was unacceptable. After optimizing 15+ models for edge deployment using ONNX Runtime, I’ve learned what works. Here’s the complete guide to running AI models on-device with ONNX Runtime. Figure […]
