Model Architectures & Training

Variational Autoencoders are thoroughly explained with a math-first walkthrough covering the ELBO and reparameterization trick, enabling new data generation. Spatial Pyramid Pooling (SPP-Net) breaks the fixed-size constraint for CNNs, allowing any image size, with a from-scratch PyTorch implementation. Meanwhile, several startups are chasing next-gen LLM architectures beyond transformers, as explored by MIT Technology Review.

AI for Science & Applications

The push for AI agents for science continues, with The Download noting that AI for science needs reasoning, not just data—a point echoed by Eric Schmidt and others. A dedicated article expands on AI for science reasoning, arguing that the field requires deep reasoning capabilities over sheer data volume. In finance, Model ML automates workflows using GPT-5.6 Sol, producing editable Power Point and Excel outputs.
