As 2025 approaches, investors' focus has shifted from skiing to the crypto market, particularly on whether the "Trump Rally" can continue

Finally watched dune 2. A lot of meanings have been changed, still fun but not the same. 

Unrelated, the bad guys are so boring anymore. They are distorted to the point of being.  unrecognizable IRL, save for the imaginations of some overly dramatic individuals.

I feel like this one might appeal to the Dominion lovers. Maybe. Just copped! https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/E/bo80657461.html

Phi-4: Microsoft’s compact SLM 

Phi-4, a 14B parameter SLM, delivers sota performance in advanced reasoning tasks, especially in mathematics. It achieves 56% on GPQA, 80% on MATH, and an impressive 91.8% accuracy on AMC 10/12 math problems.

Recipe—the big three:
> high-quality synthetic datasets
> curated organic data 
> advanced post-training techniques 

Now available on Azure AI Foundry & Hugging Face.

You might recall this release from NeurIPS—well, the weights dropped on the hub today.

Note: Phi-4 is capable of functioning as a chatbot but has been fine-tuned specifically to excel in single-turn queries.

This model didn’t quite pass my vibe check back in December, so I held off on sharing. That said, there’s still something to learn from this release, even if it’s not my top pick among SLMs right now.

2025 is going to be an absolute insane year. If ever these was a year to lock in and accelerate it’s this one.

Stop staring at the charts. Stop trying to get to retirement. The money will come. Be proactive. We’re crossing the singularity. Think and dream bigger. Go higher. Be optimistic. The future is coming.

Following my new year resolution I'm trying to integrate strength training to my running routine. 

I'm using LLMs a lot to research on the topic and create training and supplement integration plans.

I'm astonished about how well Claude works! I was used to ChatGPT, but wow, Claude is on another level.

You really gotta believe in the future you see almost to a point of delusion.

Its easy to get bogged down in the reality of where are today vs where you need to go for that future to become a reality.

No one cares until they do. Every over night success is the output of years of hard work when no one was watching.
