Generative ai

Five practical steps for developers to build and launch an AI startup: pick a narrow problem, define target customers, prepare clean data, customize a pretrained LLM, and launch with a website and brand.

How AI avatar generation moved from 2D mouth warping like Wav2Lip, through 3D morphable models and neural rendering, to audio-conditioned latent diffusion - with the trade-offs, the bottlenecks, and what to stress test before picking an engine.

LLM benchmarks are useful, but they often miss real-world behavior, prompt sensitivity, multilingual context, and benchmark gaming. Learn what better LLM evaluation should look like.
