Have you had an uneasy feeling about the clear gap between how LLMs perform on benchmarks and their real-life capabilities?

If you're curious about the messy truth behind current LLM assessment, catch my @ndcconferences.com AI keynote tomorrow at Rebel, Oslo.

Machine learning algorithms are marvellous things: models that can do a bunch of tedious and complex tasks for us, all with a high degree of accuracy. But how do we really know whether the outputs of ...

If you watched my keynote (www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5s_...) on the history of AI and enjoyed it, I can only recommend this wonderful video about LISP machines from Asianometry. I sourced most of my information about the second AI summer from it.

I'm so used to getting annoyed at people blasting their mobiles without headphones in public now that I got angry at the radio on my Flixbus today 🙈

Noticed the shift in AI coverage lately? The hype’s fading, replaced by quiet worry about a bubble.

But we've seen this before ... twice. In my @ndcconferences.com keynote, I explore what past AI hype cycles reveal about today’s boom.

Tonight!
The Python documentary premiers today!

(In roughly 6 hours.)

I'm looking forward to watching this documentary about the origin of Python and its evolution through the past ~35 (?) years!

Starring plenty of influential Python people, of which Guido is just one!

I'm so excited to be opening NDC Copenhagen this year, and I hope you'll join me! 🇩🇰

We'll take a fun look at where AI started, and see what previous attempts at AI booms can tell us about where we're going with generative AI right now.
Less than 4 weeks until Jodie Burchell @t-redactyl.bsky.social kicks off NDC Copenhagen 2025 🇩🇰 with her #keynote "AI is having its moment... again". See the full agenda and secure your tickets at ndccopenhagen.com #ndccph #ai #cph

Predictions about AI from 1958 versus 1984 (at least the 1984 one ended up being close to true).

My super smart and cool friends are presenting this livestream about our new focal model for coding. They're both deep experts in AI, and this is sure to be a very interesting conversation about the future of LLMs and open source access to models.
Not every developer task requires a general-purpose LLM.

We’re betting on specialized focal LLMs – smaller, faster, and focused.

Join @jetbrains and @huggingface for a livestream on how focal models like Mellum will shape the industry.

🌍✨ EuroPython just ended.
In many hallway chats and community organisers open space, one issue came up again and again: Sponsorship.
Now that AI is taking the spotlight, I’m asking: Who's left behind?

#Python #community How well do you know about the work of @thepsf.bsky.social? Have you ever think of running for the board election? Maybe you wanna check out the answers of some of the questions you have here:
The PSF board election: what do I need to know?
As the PSF board election approaches, I am sure many of you are keen to get involved. It is a special chance for those of us who have been in the community for a while, and who love it, to help it be better. However, do you know what the Python Software Foundation, and particularly the PSF board members do? Have you ever wondered whether you should run for the board?
