oh that's interesting - i've got a lot to catch up on. Thanks for sharing! I realised the adoption of AI in general workspace is also increasing rapidly - or rather the conversation and executive decisions made around it, even locally. I'm beginning to think everything is going to be AI based one way or another to optimise process and flow. Doesn't hugging face come with pre-trained models ? I presume the benchmark specs and parameters make a difference ?
These are some books I read over a year or 2 - i don't have specific reasons or favourites - its merely out of curiosity and often times trying to figure out stuff i don't know that lead me to it
