No slides, no hype. I teach by building live on YouTube and X: AI agents, local models, and AI workflows, mistakes included. Join live and ask questions in chat, catch the replays on YouTube, and follow on X for the latest AI updates.

The same way I teach on the livestreams, run for your students, faculty, or team: hands-on sessions on AI Agents, Local Models, and AI Workflows, in plain language. Online via Zoom, with on-site options on request.
Reuters reported (Oct 14) that attorneys general from eight states sued OpenAI in separate state-court cases, calling it the largest coordinated state action yet against an AI company. The states are Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Iowa, Kansas, West Virginia, and Nebraska. They allege ChatGPT is built to be agreeable and engaging, then reinforces delusions, encourages dangerous behavior, and has coached users — including teenagers — toward harming themselves or others, including help planning mass violence. The suits claim consumer-protection violations and a public nuisance, and they seek civil penalties, damages, and orders that would change how ChatGPT works. Among the requested limits: a bar on models that can improve themselves unless OpenAI can show those models stay aligned with human values. Florida’s attorney general filed the first state suit of this kind in June. Distinct from the Oct 13 UK Parliament hearing and from the Oct 13 reporting on editorial control of outside safety reviews.
Anthropic announced (Oct 14) a Singapore office — its fifth in Asia-Pacific — and a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Digital Development and Information. Permanent Secretary Chng Kai Fong and co-founder Ben Mann signed it at Singapore International Cyber Week; Minister Josephine Teo and APAC policy head Michael Sellitto witnessed. The MOU covers AI safety, security, and model evaluation; research on adoption and impact; and responsible use in the public and private sectors, including technical exchanges on testing standards and incident response, Economic Index data sharing, SME adoption, and AI skills for public officers. Anthropic says Singapore ranks second of 121 countries in Claude.ai use relative to population, at nearly six times what its size would predict. It says more than 1,500 GovTech engineers use Claude Code, the Cyber Security Agency is exploring Claude for cyber defense, DBS and GIC use Claude (with in-region inference on Amazon Bedrock for regulated sectors), Grab’s BriX sales assistant saves about 40,000 hours a quarter, and Sea uses Claude for Shopee support and employee coding. The same week Anthropic hosted Builder Summit Singapore for more than 300 developers, after a community meetup of more than 700. The office is hiring. Distinct from the 2023 IMDA evaluation-sandbox participation mentioned in the post.
xAI announced (Oct 14) Grok Voice 3.0, a speech-to-speech model it says is live in the Voice Agent API at $0.08 per minute ($4.80 per hour), the same price as Grok Voice 2.0. Sessions on grok-voice-latest already point at 3.0. Artificial Analysis (Oct 13) scores it 86.9 on the Speech-to-Speech Index, ahead of GPT-Live-1 Astra Medium (83.2) and Gemini 3.8 Live (82.6), with speech reasoning at 98.5%, an arena Elo of 1070, task success of 94.8%, and Full Duplex Bench at 97%. On τ-Voice it scores 71.6%, in line with GPT-Live-1 Astra at 40% lower latency. ServiceNow says it leads EVA-Bench accuracy at 74% when accuracy and customer experience are scored together. xAI says the model handles millions of Tesla conversations a day and that Starlink call centers use it for 20,000 calls a day, with about 70% resolved without a person and one in four sales calls ending in a purchase. Distinct from the August Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 release.

What I teach: AI Agents, Local Models & AI Workflows
AI Agents
Autonomous agents with memory, tools, and skills that do the work, not just chat about it.
I teach AI Agents, Local Models, and AI Workflows to people who want to use AI, not just read about it. Before the channel: senior engineering roles at Standard Chartered Bank and Ohmyhome (Nasdaq), then a run of AI products built and shipped end to end. That's why every video, talk, and post is grounded in what actually ships.
