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.
Tenstorrent said (Oct 19) it closed a $1.5 billion Series E at a $6.2 billion post-money valuation. Trace Capital and Innovation X led the round, with Agostinelli Group, ARK Invest, Cadence Ventures, Eclipse, Fidelity, Maverick Silicon, Morgan Stanley, Protagonist, Sandisk, T. Rowe Price, Tether Investments, Virtu Financial, XTX Markets, and others participating. Tenstorrent says the capital will scale Galaxy server production for open-weight language and video models and advance the AI and CPU intellectual property it licenses to chip designers. CEO Jim Keller said the company sells one architecture “at every size,” from a card or workstation to racks and custom IP, on an open-source software stack and RISC-V processors. The company also licenses its TT-Ascalon RISC-V CPU and Tensix AI cores, naming Samsung and LG among licensees. Distinct from NVIDIA’s same-day Germany industrial-AI declaration.
fal launched (Oct 19) FLUX 3 Max, a text-to-video and image-to-video model that fal Research post-trained with Black Forest Labs on FLUX 3. fal says a 10-second 720p clip takes 12.45 seconds, down from 126.44 seconds for FLUX 3, and about 22× faster than the 277.80 seconds it lists for Seedance 2.5. On fal’s preliminary Artificial Analysis image-to-video snapshot, FLUX 3 Max scores 1,139 Elo, 50 points above FLUX 3’s 1,089; fal’s own table lists MiniMax H3 one point higher at 1,141, and fal says the confidence intervals overlap. Launch pricing is $0.0425 per second of 720p output, 75% off a $0.17 list price, through November 7. Black Forest Labs CEO Robin Rombach said FLUX 3 was built for others to customize. These speed and Elo figures are fal’s. Distinct from Black Forest Labs’ own FLUX 3 image and video releases.
NVIDIA said (Oct 19) that Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the federal ministries for Economic Affairs and Energy and for Research, Technology and Space signed a Joint Declaration of Intent with NVIDIA at the Invest in Germany Summit in Berlin. The declaration starts a joint initiative for physical-AI models and expands work with Germany’s Industry 4.0 Platform so industrial AI reaches large manufacturers, the Mittelstand, and research institutions. The German government release, reported by tagesschau, names no budget for the pact. In the same post, Jensen Huang announced planned investments in Agile Robots, Avelios Medical, Mirelo, and Reflex Aerospace, which NVIDIA describes as part of a nearly $10 billion commitment across Europe, not as the price of the German declaration. The post also notes a Siemens partnership on autonomous factories and a 104-qubit fault-tolerant quantum simulation on the JUPITER supercomputer. Distinct from the Oct 17 RTX Spark laptop launch.

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.
