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.
NVIDIA announced (Oct 16) that RTX Spark Windows laptops are on sale from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, and MSI, starting at $2,599. Each machine pairs a Blackwell RTX GPU with a Grace CPU and up to 128GB of unified memory, with up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance, so local models and agents can run alongside creative apps and games. Named day-one agents include GitHub Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Perplexity, Pi, and WorkBuddy. NVIDIA says Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB is available on supported configurations, and that OpenShell plus Microsoft Execution Containers control agent permissions. Developer support includes the first PyTorch-CUDA build for Windows on Arm. Named systems include the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra, ASUS ProArt P14 and P16, Dell XPS 16, HP OmniBook Ultra and OmniBook X 14, Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n, and MSI Prestige N16 models. Distinct from the Oct 15 Nemotron 3.5 Super VL model release, from the Oct 2 64GB DGX Spark SKU, and from the September PAIR software launch.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced (Oct 16) Genesis Agent Skills, a public package of instructions, workflows, and resources for using coding agents on Genesis Mission research. Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, which helped build the repository, said the package covers safety, agent evaluation and monitoring, data governance, scientific workflows, and multi-agent systems. Researchers can ask a coding assistant in plain language for technical guidance, code review, or help with a scientific problem, with answers drawn from Genesis Mission guidance. The Baseline AI R&D Capabilities team inside ModCon built it; that team is co-led by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Nathan Hodas and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Stefan Wild. Court Corley, interim technical director of the Genesis Mission, called the release an early shared building block. The package is free on GitLab. Distinct from earlier White House superintelligence task-force cards.
Google Research published (Oct 16) three projects that connect AI agents to physical lab work. VERID is a live digital twin of a lab workcell that tracks robot geometry, volumes, and reagents so an agent can simulate a liquid-handling plan and block invalid commands before they reach a robot. A second project runs closed-loop DNA-aptamer design, and a third uses a human-and-agent workflow to design protein binders, which Google says produced tight binders for a cancer-related target. Google says the testbeds are non-infectious, designed sequences go through biosecurity screening, and people authorize sequences, check protocols, and supervise robot runs. Distinct from earlier Anthropic wet-lab reporting and from Google’s Deep Review document tool.

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.
