It’s getting harder to be surprised in the field, but Gemma 3n model with Matryoshka Transformer and interesting audio encoder (Universal Speech Model) looks like an important milestone for on-device models.

Finally got my copy! “AI Engineering” is officially out 🙏 🎉

It’s heavier than I expected (500 pages) and I’m so glad O’Reilly decided to publish it in color.

Thanks everyone for making this happen! Thank you for giving this book a chance!

My 8000-word note on agents: huyenchip.com//2025/01/07/...

1. An AI-powered agent's capability is determined by its tools and its planning ability
2. How to select the best tools for your agent
3. How to augment a model’s planning capability
4. Agent’s failure modes

Feedback is much appreciated!
