In this article, I present my latest open-source project — Government Funding Graph.
The inspiration for this project came from a desire to make better tooling for grant writing, namely to suggest research topics, funding bodies, research institutions, and researchers. I have made Innovate UK grant applications in the past, so I have had an interest in…

Despite rapid advances in vision-language modeling, much of the progress in this field has been shaped by models trained on proprietary datasets, often relying on distillation from closed-source systems. This reliance creates barriers to scientific transparency and reproducibility, particularly for tasks involving fine-grained image and video understanding. Benchmark performance may reflect the training data and…
Today we are rolling out an early version of Gemini 2.5 Flash in preview through the Gemini API via Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Building upon the popular foundation of 2.0 Flash, this new version delivers a major upgrade in reasoning capabilities, while still prioritizing speed and cost. Gemini 2.5 Flash is our first…
Robots are increasingly being developed for home environments, specifically to enable them to perform daily activities like cooking. These tasks involve a combination of visual interpretation, manipulation, and decision-making across a series of actions. Cooking, in particular, is complex for robots due to the diversity in utensils, varying visual perspectives, and frequent omissions of intermediate…
Deploying your Large Language Model (LLM) is not necessarily the final step in productionizing your Generative AI application. An often forgotten, yet crucial part of the MLOPs lifecycle is properly load testing your LLM and ensuring it is ready to withstand your expected production traffic. Load testing at a high level is the practice of…
Since the launch of the Gemini 2.0 Flash model family, developers are discovering new use cases for this highly efficient family of models. Gemini 2.0 Flash offers stronger performance over 1.5 Flash and 1.5 Pro, plus simplified pricing that makes our 1 million token context window more affordable. Today, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite is now generally…
This is the first in a multi-part series on creating web applications with Generative Ai integration.

LLMs have shown impressive capabilities in reasoning tasks like Chain-of-Thought (CoT), enhancing accuracy and interpretability in complex problem-solving. While researchers are extending these capabilities to multi-modal domains, videos present unique challenges due to their temporal dimension. Unlike static images, videos require understanding dynamic interactions over time. Current visual CoT methods excel with static inputs but…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has long been a cornerstone of cybersecurity. From malware detection to network traffic analysis, predictive machine learning models and other narrow AI applications have been used in cybersecurity for decades. As we move closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI's potential to automate defenses and fix vulnerabilities becomes even more powerful. But…
