Can a model teach itself new skills without forgetting old ones?
Jonathan Yahav breaks down on-policy self-distillation, the technique behind dozens of papers since January, and explains why it seems to reduce catastrophic forgetting. towardsdatascience.com/could…
Raw Raman spectra are rarely ready for modeling. @NCocaLopez walks us through the full pipeline (cropping, spike removal, baseline correction, normalization), and uses non-negative least squares to track a zeolite phase transformation. towardsdatascience.com/raman…

Big thanks to the @TDataScience team for featuring my new piece in the Editor's Picks. If you’re curious about how skills and MCP reshape trust boundaries in LLMs, this one’s for you.

Why does taking your shirt off to celebrate still earn a yellow card when the goal is disallowed?
Irfan Alghani Khalid built a football referee assistant that answers from the text of Law 12, not the model's memory, and shows the paragraph it used.

Is the "always switch" approach always the right one for participants in a Monty Hall-like scenario?

LLMs or decision models? Why not both!
Shuai Guo's hands-on guide to hybrid LLM workflows shows how to build browser automation by combining decision models with LLMs. towardsdatascience.com/decis…
We're thrilled to welcome Anand Rawat to TDS — we invite everyone to explore his excellent article on transforming long-running Python simulations into a self-service platform. towardsdatascience.com/how-t…
Don't miss the latest installment in @ibbysalam's data engineering learning journey — this time, walking us through the process of building an incremental pipeline with dbt snapshots. towardsdatascience.com/i-bui…
For an incisive look at the areas where AI models hit a wall, read Lars Benedikt Kaesberg and Jan Philip Wahle's debut TDS article, which focuses on spatial reasoning and the grid puzzles that trip up powerful language and vision models. towardsdatascience.com/spati…

Cheaper LLMs ≠ Lower costs.
Great insights from Nhu Hoang on @TDataScience about the hidden costs of LLM routing.
Optimizing AI isn't just about model pricing—it's about total cost, latency, and quality.
Worth a read 👇

Cheaper LLMs don't always mean lower costs.
While exploring LLM routing, I found that switching models has hidden costs too.

Okay, finally I can announce it.
So excited to make a comeback for @TDataScience !
So here is the glimpse for what I made,

I wrote an article for @TDataScience, and it ended up as an Editor’s Pick
It’s about grid puzzles people solve easily, but the best AI models still get stuck on, and what this tells us about their spatial reasoning skills. Thanks to @jpwahle for the help!

Switching to a cheaper model should... lower your overall costs, right?
@nhu_hoang Nhu Hoang explains why that's not always the case, and stresses the importance of verifying the hidden costs of LLM routing. towardsdatascience.com/the-h…

Stacking doesn't automatically beat your best model.
Diverse models: 0.830 vs 0.820 ✅
Correlated tree ensembles: +0.1 at 35x the training cost ❌
Plain voting lost to the best single model both times.

Behind every news story about an AI-related safety failure, we can likely detect a range of technical causes.
Stephanie Kirmer unpacks the processes that can lead to such failures and the steps teams and practitioners can take to mitigate them. towardsdatascience.com/ai-ha…
"Every additional EEG channel adds another electrode, another signal stream, another source of setup complexity, and another feature block that must be processed at inference time."
Renish Joshi looks at various approaches to making EEG models perform more efficiently. towardsdatascience.com/how-m…
What happens to EEG models when they "see" the same people in both training and testing sets? Renish Joshi introduces us to the challenges of participant-aware evaluation. towardsdatascience.com/when-…
