New episode is out! I sit down with Andreas Munk to explore one of the most important -- and most underappreciated -- tensions in modern Bayesian practice: the gap between what we can do in research and what actually gets deployed in the wild. Hope you like it!

⚽ Last week, I was thrilled and honored to present our #SoccerFactorModel to Field of Play 2026 in Manchester! 🎙️ It was an absolute blast meeting all these brilliant people, and I can't thank enough the FoP team, especially Dominic Jordan and John Carney for their trust and invitation! 🧵 Thread 👇

Wrote up the full story behind the #CausalInference agent skill. Key insight: agents *know* causal inference, but they never stop to ask "is my DAG right?" or "does this survive a placebo test?" The skill doesn't add knowledge. It adds discipline. Full breakdown: learnbayesstats.com/blog-posts/c...

Just released a new #AgentSkill: causal inference that refuses to say "causes" until it's earned the right. DAG before data. Assumptions before estimates. Refutation before claims. 100% eval pass rate vs 68% without the skill. The gap is in the reasoning, not the code. 👉 github.com/Learning-Bay...

New episode is out, my dear Bayesians! All about #CausalInference, #Experimentation at scale, and #GaussianProcesses -- definitely a fun one!

The show now has a blog section 🍾 Check out @alex-andorra.bsky.social 's first post!

2 weeks ago, I published my #BayesianWorkflowSkill, which scored 100% on evals. Then, the brilliant Max Göbel actually used it on a real model. And it broke 🤨 Lesson: evals are necessary, but not sufficient. Get your tools into real hands early! Full blog post: learnbayesstats.com/blog-posts/b...

I taught my coding agent to think like a Bayesian, and wrote up what I learned. LLMs know #BayesianStats but skip half the workflow. So I built an open-source Agent Skill that enforces the full workflow every time Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, etc. learnbayesstats.com/blog-posts/b...

New episode is out 🍾

at my job I’m expectedutilitymaxxing. I chatted with @alex-andorra.bsky.social on how to make it scalable and fast in an industrial context on top of the probabilistic programming language you already love, PyMC.

Just published my first open-source #AgentSkill! It's called bayesian-workflow, and helps you do #BayesianAnaylsis the right way -- well, at least I hope... Check it out here: github.com/Learning-Bay...

New episode is out, where we dive into how to use #ProbabilisticModel to do #DecisionMakingOptimization -- because the best model is useless if you can't make decision from it. See you in there!

Diffusion models & flow matching are reshaping simulation-based inference. Thus, we wrote the first tutorial review on diffusion-based SBI. For an overview or a deep dive, check it out and let us know what you think: arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2512.20685 Web: bayesflow-org.github.io/diffusion-ex...

My #AdvancedRegressionModeling course, written with the brilliant Ravin Kumar and @tomicapretto.bsky.social, is now available through my Topmate profile! So do give it a try and let me know what you think in the comments 👇 See you soon in the Intuitive Bayes' Discourse 🖖 topmate.io/alex_andorra...

I don't code anymore—I build. AI lets me ship projects by describing what I want, not how to do it. In 10 days, I shipped 6 projects with OpenCode + Claude Opus 4.5. The gap between idea and product is tiny now. Would you try this? Repost or comment! buff.ly/blroW24 #ai #buildfast

This one is a foundational one: #ExperimentalTrialDesign the ̶r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ Bayesian way, with no other than Scott Berry, from Berry Consultants, LLC! Enjoy, and happy new year, my dear Bayesians 🖖

Very practical episode this week: What to do when you can't use MCMC but still want #BayesPerks? Well, Deterministic ADVI is the new kid on the block, and is a pretty cool one ;) #WhoisyourDADVInow

🎙️ How do you tackle extreme physics experiments? Ethan Smith shares insights with @alex-andorra.bsky.social ✅ Bayesian inference for sparse, noisy data ✅ Priors guide well-established physical models ✅ Scaling Bayesian workflows across teams 🎧 lnkd.in/geA2kQm6 #Bayesian #LearningBayesianStats

Time to take stock of what is going on in the #TechIndustry, how #GenAI is changing the jobs, and how to integrate it in your career. Here is a super dense, and hopefully actionable, episode with the great Jordan Thibodeau -- make sure to give his SVIC Podcast a listen!

This one is a very practical one, with the great Maurizio Filippone -- all about the intersection of #DeepLearning , #GaussianProcesses and why combining them is so powerful. Enjoy!

🍽️ Can better nutrition science come from better statistics? In the latest episode, @alex-andorra.bsky.social chats with Christoph Bamberg about using a Bayesian mindset to make psychology & nutrition research more transparent and actionable 🎧 learnbayesstats.com/episode/143-... #bayes #nutrition
