You Don’t Need to Share Data to Train a Language Model Anymore—FlexOlmo Demonstrates How

The development of large-scale language models (LLMs) has historically required centralized access to extensive datasets, many of which are sensitive, copyrighted, or governed by usage restrictions.This constraint severely limits the participation of data-rich organizations operating in regulated or proprietary environments.FlexOlmo—introduced by researchers at the Allen Institute for AI and collaborators—proposes a modular training […]

o1 Style Thinking with Chain-of-Thought Reasoning using Mirascope

In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to implement Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning using the Mirascope library and Groq’s LLaMA 3 model.Rather than having the model jump straight to an answer, CoT reasoning encourages it to break the problem down into logical steps—much like how a human would solve it.This approach improves accuracy, transparency, and […]

Scaling Azure Functions & PaaS - Concurrency, Async, Messaging. Insights from Python Log Analysis

Use try/except around the main logic to catch errors: If an exception is thrown in your async function and not handled, the Azure Functions host will log it and mark the execution as failed.This is an advanced technique and most Azure Functions won’t need it, but it can be useful if you have a long-running async task that you don’t want to tie up the main function’s loop (or if you need to work around limitations in the Python Functions runtime’s event loop).Scaling out the function app: Ensure your Azure Function app’s plan is capable of scaling to meet the queue demand.
