This weekend I had time to do some outdoor photography, and I was hoping green buts, or spring flowers But noooo. Wind snow and ice! ❄️💨😂

I put together a short tutorial that explains step-by-step how to get the brand new Reka Edge to run locally. You are only a few steps away from asking an #AI what's in any image or video 👉 link.reka.ai/reka-edge-dev 👀 #visionai #edgeai @hf.co

Reading Notes #689 is out! A handful of interesting reads on AI, dev tools, and clever ideas from around the web 📚️ 🎧️ c5m.ca/RN-689

Meet Reka #Edge - Our vision language model for physical AI. Uses 3x fewer tokens and achieves 65% faster throughput compared to 8B models. Image understanding, video analysis, object detection, and tool use. Built for Action. Fast enough for production, deployable anywhere c5m.ca/reka-edge

Most VLMs are built for chat. But in Physical AI, real-world systems make decisions in milliseconds. If you're building for robotics or real-time video, you need intelligence that's practical, powerful, and fast. We’ve been heads-down on latency bottlenecks Can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Reading Notes #688 is out! This week: AI pull-request agents for Azure DevOps, safer OpenClaw experiments in Docker sandboxes, Copilot updates, WebAssembly insights, and a neat way to integrate Aspire into existing projects. 👉 c5m.ca/Rn-688

Excited to share what we just launched at Reka 👀 We released an #n8n community node for AI-powered video clipping & image analysis. • Turn long videos into short clips • Analyze images with natural language • Ask questions about visuals c5m.ca/1108EmaLX Would love to hear what you'd build with it

New Reading Notes 🧠 c5m.ca/RN-686 Ralph loops, AI coding tips, Docker sandboxes, OSS tools, and some excellent podcasts to level up your week Have a nice week!

We’re letting AI answer business questions… But we don’t require proof? At Confoo, I’ll build an agentic research assistant that searches multiple sources and returns grounded, traceable answers. Because “trust me bro” isn’t an architecture 👉 Join me in Montreal: confoo.ca @confooca.bsky.social

Are we overcomplicating AI integration? Do we really need: - An SDK? - Extensions? - An Agent Framework? - Or just HttpClient? What’s your current approach? Next week I’ll be at confoo.ca (Feb 25–27) in Montreal presenting:

Yesterday I wrote a little tool... 🤔 What do you think, simple enough? ? -> ask AI a quick question ?? -> AI search online the answer and get back to you

Ever wished you could ask a question and have the answer come only from a handful of trusted documentation sites (meaning no random blogs)? 🎉 That’s exactly what the Check-In Doc MCP Server does! GitHub: c5m.ca/check-in-doc Blog post: c5m.ca/1106z4BZQ www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDlm...
