Live in under an hour! My first AI Live Event of 2026 is at 10am ET today, then more next Tuesday and Thursday. Hosted by AI Academy giants @OReillyMedia @pearson For details and to enroll: edwarddonner.com/2025/11/11/ai-…

COMING RIGHT UP In 10 mins I'm live hosting an event 'Hands-on LLM Engineering" with @OReillyMedia @pearson coding with Agents, Agent Loops, RAG, MCP. All my Live Events are here: edwarddonner.com/2025/11/11/ai-…

In 1 hour I'm LIVE with @OReillyMedia and @pearson coding with LLMs and pitting them against each other for commercial tasks and not-so-commercial tasks.. come join me! learning.oreilly.com/live-events/ch…

I'm live in 5 minutes! Hands-on LLM engineering featuring #MCP, #DeepSeek, RAG, OpenAI Agents SDK, and maybe whatever OpenAI is about to launch?! See you there! learning.oreilly.com/live-events/ha…

Showtime in 15 mins! My live event from @OReillyMedia & @pearson that takes you on the journey from software engineering to AI Data Science, including GPT 4.5, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek, RAG, Agents and much, much more oreilly.com/live-events/fr…

I just love running Live Events for @OReillyMedia & @pearson and tomorrow is my absolute favorite - a crash course on LLMs for software engineers featuring RAG, Agents, DeepSeek and @huggingface @Gradio @wandb @ollama @modal_labs - event link: learning.oreilly.com/live-events/fr…

Here's my totally scientific evaluation of the brand new GPT-4.5 -- in a battle of Connect Four against DeepSeek!! youtu.be/gR5EdkpYle4 Also a nuanced question, a puzzle and a creative image assignment. #GPT4_5 #deepseekai

@AnthropicAI Try battling Claude 3.7 Sonnet vs Claude 3.5 in a battle of Connect Four! (So far 1-1) And then try DeepSeek-R1 and o3-mini edwarddonner.com/connect-four/

Introducing Claude 3.7 Sonnet: our most intelligent model to date. It's a hybrid reasoning model, producing near-instant responses or extended, step-by-step thinking. One model, two ways to think. We’re also releasing an agentic coding tool: Claude Code.

@megasoft78 this is such a powerful & valuable application of LLMs - I've filled in the survey & eagerly await your MVP!

I'm conducting a quick 3-minute survey to explore the challenges in API development and integration. Your experiences can help shape better tools and workflows. Share your thoughts here: shorturl.at/8Jkkk🙏 @edwarddonner #Developer #Coding #WebDevelopment #APIDevelopment

@deepseek_ai Your garage-energy has created a force to be reckoned with!! #DeepSeek is currently vying for first place with o1-mini in this battle of wits over Connect Four edwarddonner.com/connect-four/

🚀 Day 0: Warming up for #OpenSourceWeek! We're a tiny team @deepseek_ai exploring AGI. Starting next week, we'll be open-sourcing 5 repos, sharing our small but sincere progress with full transparency. These humble building blocks in our online service have been documented, deployed and battle-tested in production. As part of the open-source community, we believe that every line shared becomes collective momentum that accelerates the journey. Daily unlocks are coming soon. No ivory towers - just pure garage-energy and community-driven innovation.

After many fumbled attempts to explain how #ChatGPT works to non-data scientist friends -- here is my very best shot. If you’ve been subjected to one of my bungled impromptu lectures, consider this my do-over. youtu.be/nYy-umCNKPQ

@SushmeetSunger I'm no hw expert, but I AM an Apple fanboy, and that counts right? 😂 For LLM engineering, 32GB & M4 Max or Pro is great (16GB OK too). I favor Cloud for training so you can scale with latest GPUs. Get a beefier Mac if you have pro video/audio needs and your budget supports it

Wondering what a Machine Learning set up would look like. I am looking to train models locally but then hopefully use the cloud for bigger stuff. Is M4 max base or 48 gig model worth it? Taking the LLM Engineering Udemy course @edwarddonner so would appreciate thought’s

I made a super fun Arena for #DeepSeek, o1-mini, Claude, Gemini and friends to battle in Connect Four using @Gradio @GroqInc @ollama - here's how I coded it in 10 mins with a link to play it yourself youtu.be/0OF-ChlKOQY

2 hrs until my live event by @OReillyMedia @pearson at 1pm ET! We'll get hands on with o3-mini, #DeepSeek, Claude, Phi, Llama, Gemma, @Alibaba_Qwen , @MistralAI with super-powers from @huggingface @Gradio @langchain @trychroma @wandb @ollama oreilly.com/live-events/ch…

@TheAdail Massive congratulations @TheAdail - you were so engaged on the journey and I can't wait to see where you take it next. What a great time to be an LLM Engineer!

I have just completed the excellent course by @edwarddonner "LLM Engineering: Master AI, Large Language Models & Agents" This is a great jump start for a long journey, and I am excited with the road ahead! @P-fBemhJTL4FMZablSkIeCuvLPny0J1judO3msV_ZYS_okbNti9MyySlMa7XAw==/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">udemy.com/share/10bOXH3@…

Showtime soon!! At 1pm ET today I'm hosting a Live Event with @OReillyMedia @pearson on Choosing The Right #LLM - including an epic showdown of @OpenAI o3 vs @deepseek_ai V3 / R1 in a classic board game oreilly.com/live-events/ch…

@leosongtweets Busted! 😂 That deal-hunting agent brings me joy and I couldn't resist using it again. But I added DeepSeek, query re-writing and an Autonomous planning agent to spice things up. Yep LLM Eng Part 2 coming soon! See you at O'Reilly! Thanks for all the encouragement ❤️

@edwarddonner This looks like a condensed version of your LLM Engineering course. I'll pass but will see you at the o'reilly session next month! Question- Do you have any plans to do a Part 2/ more advanced version of your LLM Eng course? (fingers crossed!). Thanks.

An hour to showtime!! I'm hosting a hands-on workshop on #AgenticAI with @deepseek_ai at 1.05pm ET at the AI Builders Summit from @_odsc -- use code edwarddonner at #Register" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">summit.ai/#Register for $100 discount

Several years ago I got a call from @Andela pitching Sub-Saharan African talent to 'connect brilliance with opportunity.' Read what happened next, in this superb interview with our rock star devs Gideon and Ifunga. andela.com/resource/andel… Thank you @JeremyJ and all Team @Andela

In part 2 of my guide to fine-tuning an LLM on text message history, we cleanse the data and learn more than we ever wanted to about our text message patterns edwarddonner.com/2024/01/17/fin…
