Builders need high signal resources on how to build with AI. That's why I started Vanishing Gradients. Long-form conversations with people shaping the field about agents, evals, multimodal systems, data infrastructure, and the tools behind them. Plus live workshops where we build things together. Guests include Jeremy Howard (fast.ai (fast.ai/)), Hamel Husain (Parlance Labs), Shreya Shankar (UC Berkeley), Wes McKinney (creator of pandas), Samuel Colvin (Pydantic), and more. 🎙️ Podcast: hugobowne.substack.com (hugobowne.substack.com/) 📅 Upcoming events: luma.com/calendar/cal-8ImWFDQ3IEIxNWk 🐦 Twitter: twitter.com/hugobowne
