Your AI image generator needs a critic. In our new short course built in collaboration with @GoogleCloudTech, you’ll build agents that generate images and video, judge their own outputs, and iterate to improve results. This course explores what happens when AI starts evaluating AI. Taught by Katie Nguyen and Wafae Bakkali. Enroll for free: hubs.la/Q04hkdr80

AI agents seem to be increasingly capable of performing economically valuable tasks, but current benchmarks measure this capability only narrowly. Zora Z. Wang and colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University mapped examples drawn from agent benchmarks to statistics that represent U.S. labor. The mapping revealed a mismatch between the tests, which generally emphasize software development, and the more varied work most people do. Read the full article in The Batch: hubs.la/Q04hYVxR0

China halted Meta’s planned acquisition of Manus, asserting tighter government control over strategically important AI technology. The decision disrupts a popular strategy among Chinese AI startups: relocating abroad to attract Western investment and partnerships. Learn more in The Batch: hubs.la/Q04hJmwT0

“Budget” and “financials” are different words, but embeddings understand they’re related. That’s the foundation behind semantic search and one of the core building blocks of modern multimodal systems. Learn how embeddings power retrieval across text, audio, images, and video in Building Multimodal Data Pipelines: hubs.la/Q04hJ2PZ0

Studies found that Google’s AI system for detecting breast cancer in mammograms identified slightly more cancers than human radiologists. The system caught some cases doctors initially missed. Trials also showed the system could reduce radiologists’ workload. But researchers noted that trust remains a major barrier to clinical adoption.

One of the biggest prompting mistakes is asking AI to generate the final draft immediately. A better workflow? Start with the outline first. Small changes to the structure can dramatically improve the final result and help you avoid generic AI writing.

AI gives generic answers when your prompts are generic. The fastest way to get more interesting outputs? Give it more specific, unexpected context. In AI Prompting for Everyone, Andrew Ng shares practical techniques to help you get more useful, creative responses from AI systems. Explore the course now: hubs.la/Q04gSTh10

Data is hungry for context. A transcript tells you what was said. Audio can tell you how it was said. Images contain text, diagrams, and visual information. Video brings it all together over time. Most enterprise data lives in these formats, and most of it still goes unused. Learn how to process and retrieve across multimodal data in Building Multimodal Data Pipelines: hubs.la/Q04gFttd0

Quick challenge! Don't use AI tools for this one 👀 How many Harry Potter books can you fit with a 750k-token context window?

Your AI assistant shouldn’t just tell you what you want to hear. In AI Prompting for Everyone, Andrew Ng explains why models can become overly agreeable, and how better prompting helps you get more accurate, useful answers instead. Enroll in the course now: hubs.la/Q04gpmlz0

Slow inference. Hallucinations. Costs that don't scale. The parts of LLMs you can't see are the parts that bite you. Build the intuition to debug them, in our new course with @RealSharonZhou and @AMD: Transformers in Practice. Enroll here: hubs.la/Q04g8KSv0

The results are in 🐣 Huge congratulations to our 7-Day Tamagotchi Challenge winners for building, iterating, and pushing their spec-driven development workflows over the past week: 🥇 Jose Luis Garcia Tucci 🥈 Adhiyaman Sisubalan 🥉 Nick Koroniadis Thank you to everyone who participated and shared your projects with us. It was great seeing so many creative takes on the challenge and the different ways you approached spec-driven development. Want to try it yourself?

Vibe coding works… until your agent confidently builds the wrong thing. Write specs first. Keep your agent aligned with what you actually want to build. Enroll in our Spec-Driven Development course to learn a more intentional way to build with coding agents: hubs.la/Q04g0jd00

Go from raw video to structured data. Segment the timeline, generate descriptions for each window, and track what happens across a meeting. This is the foundation for querying and retrieving from video at scale. Learn how to do this in Building Multimodal Data Pipelines: hubs.la/Q04fwmNY0

Most AI agents still respond in plain text. In our latest course, Build Interactive Agents with Generative UI, you’ll create agents that generate UIs like charts, forms, and interactive components on demand. Work across the Generative UI spectrum and connect a LangChain agent to a React frontend using CopilotKit and the AG-UI protocol. Made in collaboration with @CopilotKit, and taught by its CEO, @ataiiam. Enroll for free! ➡️ hubs.la/Q04fF8q10

Just deployed to production… and leaked all the credit cards. 😬 Fast isn’t the same as correct. Learn spec-driven development: write clear specs, guide your coding agent, and build what you actually intended. Join our free course: hubs.la/Q04fwpRY0
