Microsoft Maia 300 and the race for in-house AI inference silicon. Once AI hits production, inference is the bill that never stops. Whoever controls cost per inference controls the margin. Plus less dependence on a single hardware vendor.

==[AI Executive Update]== I agree headless software is the new game This 1 minute-ish Instagram reel makes the point well: instagram.com/reel/DeWzqDXJ3… My $0.02, based on a lot of hands-on time with each market leading AI agents, is that this is exactly where the market is heading. The important question for software companies is no longer just: "Is our user experience good?" It is increasingly: "Can AI agents easily interact with our system?" That means clean APIs, strong permissions, clear data models, reliable automation, and rich MCP interoperability. The exciting part is that this creates a BIG reset. Legacy incumbents may have years of UI advantage, but if their systems are difficult for agents to interact with, that advantage can disappear quickly. This is a real opportunity for smaller, faster teams to leapfrog competitors. My takeaway: Design for humans, but architect for agents. That is becoming a very important distinction. --. ==[Helpful Hint]== Cool prompt to copy/paste: I did this movie recommendation prompt last night and it worked out well :-). Give it a try to uncover a few gems to add to your “watch list” --. Create a Movie Marathon Around My Current Mood Act as an expert film curator and design a personalized movie marathon that starts from how I feel now and gradually moves me toward the mood I want by the end. Context: - Current mood: [tired / nostalgic / anxious / romantic / restless / lonely / excited / etc.] - Desired mood: [comforted / energized / inspired / relaxed / hopeful / emotionally satisfied / etc.] - Genres I enjoy: [genres] - Genres I dislike: [genres] - Favorite films: [examples] - Films I do not want repeated: [examples] - Era preference: [classic / 80s / 90s / 2000s / recent / any] - Language preference: [English / international / any] - Time available: [X hours] - Number of films: [2 / 3 / 4] - Watching with: [solo / partner / friends / family] - Streaming services: [platforms] - Intensity tolerance: [light / moderate / heavy] - Hard limits: [no horror / no sad endings / no explicit content / etc.] Build the marathon so the sequence has an emotional arc, rather than just listing movies that fit the same mood. Start with something that meets me where I am, then gradually shift tone, energy, or emotional intensity toward the desired end state. For each film, provide: 1. Why it fits 2. Why it belongs in that position 3. Runtime 4. Emotional tone 5. One thing to pay attention to 6. Optional snack/drink pairing 7. A spoiler-free one-line pitch Avoid generic or obvious recommendations unless they are genuinely the best fit. Finish with: - One wild-card pick - One shorter backup marathon - One comfort-only version - One more adventurous version - A recommended start time so the marathon finishes by [target time] ===.

While @openai’s #chatgpt has been on everyone’s mind recently, #ml, #ai, and #generativeai simply don’t stop there. Not long ago, I completed some training through @Databricks Academy. I subscribe to the philosophy of lifelong learning, so it was really great to learn.
