Latest Articles from Cem
Centralizing AI Tool Access with the MCP Gateway
Source: Jahgirdar, Manoj In this article, I’ll walk through the evolution of AI tool integration, explain what the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is, and show why MCP alone isn’t production-ready. Then we’ll explore real-world gateway implementations between AI agents and external tools.
Benchmarking Agentic AI Frameworks in Analytics Workflows
Frameworks for building agentic workflows differ substantially in how they handle decisions and errors, yet their performance on imperfect real-world data remains largely untested.
AI Video Pricing: Compare Synthesia & Invideo AI
AI video pricing can differ significantly across platforms, influenced by factors such as output quality, customization options, and features. As more businesses and creators turn to AI for efficient video production, understanding these pricing models becomes essential.
LLM VRAM Calculator for Self-Hosting
The use of LLMs has become inevitable, but relying solely on cloud-based APIs can be limiting due to cost, reliance on third parties, and potential privacy concerns. That’s where self-hosting an LLM for inference (also called on-premises LLM hosting or on-prem LLM hosting) comes in.
Comparison of Top 6 Free Cloud GPU Services
Advancements in AI and machine learning have increased demand for GPUs used in high-performance computing. Building dedicated GPU infrastructure involves high upfront costs, while cloud-based services provide more affordable access. Free GPU platforms support researchers, developers, and organizations with limited budgets.
Receipt OCR Benchmark with LLMs
Extracting data from receipts is essential for businesses, as millions of employees submit their work-related expenses via receipts. With the latest developments in generative AI and large language models, data extraction accuracy has reached a level comparable to that of humans.
Agentic Mesh: The Future of Scalable AI Collaboration
While much has been written about agent architectures, real-world production-grade implementations remain limited. This piece highlights the agentic AI mesh, a concept introduced in a recent McKinsey. We will examine the challenges that emerge in production environments and demonstrate how our proposed architecture enables controlled scaling of AI capabilities.
LCMs: From LLM Tokenization to Concept-level Representation
Large concept models (LCMs), as introduced by Meta in their work on “Large Concept Models,” represent a fundamental shift away from token-based prediction toward concept-level representation.
Top 10 Google Colab Alternatives
Google Colaboratory is a popular platform for data scientists and machine learning scientists, but its limitations and pricing may not meet your needs. Several alternatives offer unique features and capabilities that cater to different data science needs and scenarios.
Top 20 Sustainability AI Applications & Examples
According to PwC, GenAI could improve operational efficiency, which might indirectly reduce carbon footprints in business processes. By applying generative AI to areas such as logistics optimization, demand forecasting, and waste reduction, companies can reduce emissions across their operations beyond the AI systems themselves.
