Outta sight pizza is really good. And not just the pizza. H/t Deva Hazarika

Hard things are hard.

Watching V for Vendetta on a flight, and I must say it holds up really well. Seems especially poignant with the new regulations being proposed in the EU…

I hosted a workshop yesterday on building scalable and performant agentic vector search with Qdrant for ODSC (Open Data Science Conference) AI West 2025. Check out this practical builders guide for a deep dive: qdrant.tech/articles/agent… One question kept coming up at the event: "What exactly is a

I met someone yesterday One of those folks you rarely meet but you never forget Unabashedly Honest & Curiosity of a Cat A good reminder to Be yourself at all times. What's the worst that could happen?

Organizing a hackathon with Google DeepMind, Freepik, & Qdrant. Pretty unique concept, we want to see how you combine vector search with image gen from Nano Banana 🍌 Starting with an in-person kickoff in SF 11/22 then everything is virtual. luma.com/2kt11r0m

Crazy how many things are affected by the GitHub outage. Don’t realize how much you need water until the well is dry…

Embedding models are so cool. You can literally turn any kind of data into numbers and do cool stuff like search or find similar data. The larger the dimensions, the more information it can capture. I've started to notice that humans also have embedding models. We all have a

I’ve never had a bad night after getting Ramen

Had a really fun conversation with Dat Ngo last week about evals. In this clip Dat explains that starting out with out of the box evals is ok, but as your system matures you should be building custom evals that measure the metrics you care about. In a search context,

I made a video showing one kind of app you can build when you combine vector search and image generation to spark some ideas because... the Sketch & Search Hackathon sponsored by Google DeepMind Qdrant Freepik starts Saturday, 11/22 and runs until 12/14! Win up to

Nothing beats starting the day off with a nice deep clean, a candle, and some coffee. It’s gonna be a banger.

I'll be speaking virtually Friday at the AI Memory Forum about best practices for building vector search agents. Tip number 1: Less is more When you're working with vector search and agents you want to minimize the complexity of your workflow as much as possible. You might

Tomorrow at 8AM PST I'll be hosting the Qdrant Office Hours. We'll be joined by Daniel Boros, a member of our engineering team, who will talk about cloud inference on Qdrant. If you're building something cool with Qdrant or just want to hang out, drop by!

One thing I don't love about agents is how long it takes to run significant evals. I'm so used to the speed of a search or vanilla RAG systems. Gives me a lot of respect for people training large language models. The anticipation of making a change and running the evals to see

There should be classes on reading between the lines in grade school. It’s one of the most important skills in life but you’re expected to learn on the fly. When you add in the fact that different cultures require a different lens it can be a challenge to understand what

Won second place last night at the Rippletide & Linkup Agent Trust Challenge! Always fun to meet Qdrant users and other French speakers in the wild! But most importantly, always good to get a reminder from a neutral third party that I can hang 🤙🏿

Good morning from my pomegranate tree
