I’m a Senior Python Dev, AI Enthusiast, Builder. These are some of the things I’m working on:
TIL - the Ettin model series exists, and they teach us: - Choose encoders for classification, retrieval, embeddings - Choose decoders for text generation - Size matters less than architecture choice (400M encoder beats 1B decoder on its specialized tasks) lighton.ai/lighton-blog...
Introducing Ettin Suite: the SoTA open recipe to outperform existing Generative & Retrieval Models - LightOnI really want this uv audit --fix github.com/astral-sh/uv...
Support a `--fix` type flag for `audit` to allow automatic fixing of vulnerabilities according to semantic versioning · Issue #19428 · astral-sh/uvSome tips for safe package management with UV: 1. uv add pydantic --bounds major to ensure version is upper bound to avoid pulling in latest changes 2. Add a cooldown period in pyproject.toml to block latest versions [tool.uv] exclude-newer = "7 days" www.loopwerk.io/articles/202...
uv is fantastic, but its package management UX is a messThese are some of my projects
