A Beginner’s Guide to Small Language Models (SLMs)

2026-05-04T14:45:55+00:00

What are Small Language Model (SLM)? We often hear about Large Language Models, but did you know that there’s a “smaller” version of it? In this article, we will talk about what a Small Language model is, their strengths and weaknesses, and its practical use cases. So, what really is a Small Language Model? At its core, an SLM is a lightweight language model designed specifically for task-specific, highly efficient inference. It is built on the exact same transformer foundations as the Large Language Models (LLMs) we are familiar with, but it’s built with a completely different philosophy. To clarify: [...]

Agent Skills Cheat Sheet

2026-04-30T20:14:18+00:00

Agent Skills are like built-in “playbooks” that an AI can use when it recognizes a task. Instead of giving detailed instructions every time, the AI (like Anthropic Claude) already knows what to do because the knowledge is packaged inside a Skill. This makes interactions faster and more consistent, especially for repeated workflows. Why they matter In real-world usage, repeating the same instructions over and over is inefficient. Agent Skills solves that problem. They allow the AI to: Act like a specialist in a specific domain Automatically apply best practices Handle complex workflows without needing full context every time Over time, [...]

Amazon Quick Sight Sheet Tooltips: Enhancing Data Storytelling and Dashboard UX

2026-04-29T06:08:05+00:00

Modern organizations use data visualization tools for critical decisions. Dashboards simplify complex datasets, turning millions of rows of raw data into digestible formats. Still, users often view a dashboard and feel they aren't seeing the whole picture. Dashboards often lack immediate context, resulting in a frustrating user experience. Analysts must constantly switch between views, tabs, and reports just to understand the insights. To solve this, AWS introduced Sheet Tooltips in Amazon Quick Sight, a powerful feature that enables richer, more interactive data storytelling in a single dashboard view. The Problem with Traditional Dashboards While business intelligence (BI) has evolved significantly, [...]

Finsharc, a Newcomer Reshaping How We Think About Personal Finance

2026-04-29T05:41:12+00:00

Finsharc is a personal finance application that is entering a very saturated place. As there are personal finance apps such as Money Manager that already solve the basics of expense tracking at a personal level, (things you buy day-to-day, such as lattes or groceries) budgeting for the future, and reporting with pie charts. Those things have already been solved. But most of these traditional applications are stable, yet entirely rigid. Finsharc, which is a student-led project developed by students from multiple Philippine universities (including National University in Manila, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa, and University of Makati), attempts to replace [...]

Google Lyria 3: Free AI Music in Gemini

2026-04-28T10:08:11+00:00

Google quietly rolled out Lyria 3 inside Gemini, and it lets anyone generate 30-second music tracks from a text prompt, complete with vocals, lyrics, and instrumentals. It's free, it's surprisingly good, and most people don't even know it's there. I spent an afternoon messing around with it. Here's how it works and where it starts to fall apart. What Is Lyria 3? Lyria 3 is Google DeepMind's music generation model. It lives inside the Gemini app. You don't need to download anything extra or visit a separate site. Just open Gemini and ask it to make a track. Here's what [...]

AWS Data and AI Journey: Data Governance and Security

2026-04-27T15:18:02+00:00

Stage 3 of the AWS Data and AI Journey: Data Governance and Security As organizations establish a modern data foundation (Stage 1) and enable seamless data movement (Stage 2), the next critical step is ensuring that data remains trusted, secure, and compliant across the entire ecosystem. At this stage, data is no longer confined to a single platform. It flows across cloud services, SaaS applications, analytics environments, and AI systems. Without strong governance and security, this expanded data landscape introduces risks such as unauthorized access, data leakage, compliance violations, and loss of trust in data. Stage 3 focuses on building [...]

Claude Mythos Explained, is it an AI Breakthrough or Overhyped Cybersecurity Threat?

2026-04-27T05:07:25+00:00

The announcement of Claude Mythos stirred the community towards the advancement of large language models and their application within the domain of cybersecurity. For more than two decades, the investigation and discovery of zero-day vulnerabilities have rested upon cybersecurity teams and researchers. However, the announcement of Claude Mythos, by Anthropic is claimed to be capable of autonomously identifying and weaponizing these security vulnerabilities at scale, This signals a potential shift in balance between offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. Ironically, it was reportedly discovered accidentally through Anthropic's Content Management System.   Why Is Claude Mythos Getting So Much Attention? Unlike the [...]

AI Workflows vs AI Prompts: What’s the Real Difference

2026-04-21T05:49:01+00:00

At first, using AI feels simple. You type a prompt, get a response, and move on. That’s how most people start, and for basic tasks, it works. But as you try to do more complex or repeatable work, you begin to notice something: prompts alone aren’t enough. This is where the difference between AI workflows vs AI prompts starts to matter, because the way you structure your interaction with AI directly affects the quality and consistency of your results. Over time, many users realize that the real power of AI doesn’t come from writing better one-off prompts, but from designing systems [...]

What Happens When AI Can Start Buying Things for You? — Understanding UCP

2026-04-15T12:54:17+00:00

Imagine asking an AI: “Find me a mechanical keyboard under ₱3,000 and just order it for me.” And instead of giving you links… it actually completes the purchase. Sounds convenient, but also a bit unsettling at the same time. That might sound futuristic, but this idea is becoming increasingly possible with emerging technologies like the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP). As AI systems evolve from simple assistants into agents capable of taking actions, UCP introduces a way for these systems to interact with real-world commerce in a structured and standardized manner. What is UCP? The Universal Commerce Protocol is an open, [...]

How I Used AI to Teach Myself Python (No Coding Background Required)

2026-04-20T04:56:42+00:00

The problem: our education is not enough Companies today are aggressively hiring for AI and tech skills. The job postings are everywhere. But here is the uncomfortable truth: the education most of us received did not prepare us for this shift. I am currently taking Computer Engineering in college, but it's not coding-focused. I am about to finish my degree but still without the specific skills the market is demanding. I felt that gap every time I looked at a job listing. My solution: use AI to learn Python I did not enroll in a bootcamp. I did not buy [...]
