Was awesome talking to @marypcbuk.bsky.social for her piece in CIO including @expanso.io ! www.cio.com/article/4204...

Never mind clean data. Annotate as you collect it.

Leaving a breadcrumb trail from the original context of the data you use for AI might let you trace a single bad prediction to the source.

heya all! just a reminder, you can use @expanso.io for FREE (for the first 5 nodes :)). Seriously, go create a cluster (cloud.expanso.io), try a sample pipeline (examples.expanso.io), and tell us more. Free! Forever!

Everybody's talking about open weights/models, I have thoughts 😊 Some of us have scars on top of scars in defining "open". It's a complicated, but know what you get with open weights/models. Because NONE of it is "open source." More here! www.distributedthoughts.org/2026-07-27-f...
