#5853: Who Actually Competes With Hugging Face?2.96 million model repos, and 85.6% have under 200 downloads. What ModelScope, Kaggle, and Ollama actually do differently. -
#5830: Serving Your Own Fine-Tuned Model in the CloudYou fine-tuned an open-weight model. Now how does anyone actually talk to it? Dedicated GPUs vs serverless inference, and the math that decides it. -
#5465: Packaging AI Pipelines So They Actually Get ReusedDaniel's podcast pipeline works — so why can't he reuse it? Recipes, containers, and Hebrew code-switching TTS. -
#5390: Chaining Small Models for Dictation CleanupDaniel's Android dictation fork won't render "three point five" as a decimal. How many models does cleanup actually need? -
#5004: What Precision Is Your Model Actually Running At?When you call an API, are you getting the model you think you are? Inference providers quantize more than they admit. -
#3234: Who Should Sponsor This Podcast? Open-Book EconomicsWe open the books on our AI-generated podcast: $200/month costs, 180K plays, zero sponsors. Who should we pitch? -
#2811: Cloudflare's Endgame: From CDN to Cloud PlatformHow a spam-tracking side project became the CDN that's quietly building a new kind of cloud. -
#2779: The Hidden Stateful Side of Serverless GPUHow Modal, RunPod, and other platforms handle container builds, caching, and versioning under the hood. -
#2773: Beyond Static Fallbacks: Agentic Error Handling in AI PipelinesFrom try-except blocks to planning agents that route around failures intelligently. -
#2545: Visual AI Pipelines: Beyond Python Glue CodeFrom ComfyUI to Dify — a tour of visual tools for building modular AI workflows without writing glue code. -
#2468: When Tokens Meet GPU SecondsHow to track AI spend across Open Router, Replicate, and more — without a unified dashboard. -
#1702: Roleplay Models Aren't Just for NSFW—They're Creative Co-ProcessorsForget GPT-4 for scripts—specialized roleplay models like Aion-2.0 are better at character consistency and dialogue. -
#551: The LoRA Revolution: Training AI for Personal PerspectiveDiscover how to train LoRAs for character consistency and unique locations while avoiding common pitfalls like over-fitting and dataset bias. -
#484: The Silicon Sharing Economy: Inside Serverless GPUsHow do small teams run massive AI models without $50,000 chips? Corn and Herman dive into the hidden plumbing of serverless GPU providers. -
#258: The Geographic Soul of AI: Mapping the Global Data DivideWhy does an AI see a Chinese supermarket instead of a Western one? Explore how training data shapes the cultural worldview of modern models. -
#75: Community Depth vs. Raw Power in Local AIIs Stable Diffusion becoming a relic? Corn and Herman debate the rise of Flux, the privacy of local AI, and the future of open-source generation. -
#47: Compressing Days into Minutes: AI Control Nets in ArchitectureSee how AI and control nets transform abstract sketches into stunning, photorealistic designs. Architects are revolutionizing their workflow! -
#20: Architectural AI: Precision with ControlNet & ComfyUIFrom hobbyist AI to high-stakes professional applications: architectural AI with ControlNet & ComfyUI. -
