Long before “AI” was a buzzword, I was fortunate to work on an NSF-funded project with the Museum of Natural History. In 1999, our team published a paper in the Bulletin of Entomological Research on SPIDA-web, a computer vision system for identifying spider species. A few years later, I presented the work at the Entomological Society of America Annual Meeting. While today’s tools (YOLOv8, PyTorch, Hugging Face) are much more advanced, the challenges we faced — image quality, training data, probabilistic models — are the same issues AI engineers tackle now. That foundation continues to shape how I design modern applied AI systems in healthcare, IoT, and cloud environments.

MCP turns AI from just answering… into actually doing. I spent some thinking, experimenting, and researching about MCP, and today I have built my own MCP server and connected it with Claude! What does this mean? Imagine an AI that doesn’t just answer questions, but can actually interact with your system and tools. Here’s what I built: 🌦️ Weather Agent – Fetch live weather updates for any city. 📁 File System Agent – Browse folders, read text files, search for keywords, and find exactly what you need. Thanks to MCP (Modular Cognitive Platform): Claude can now perform actions on my computer, not just chat. It can read and analyze files, search for information, and even combine multiple tasks intelligently. Every new tool I add makes the AI smarter and more capable. Future work I’m exploring with MCP: 🔹 Integrating more APIs – Financial data, news, or IoT devices. 🔹 Automated workflow creation – Letting the AI chain multiple tasks for productivity. 🔹 Enhanced file intelligence – Summarizing, classifying, or extracting insights from documents automatically. 💡 Key takeaway: AI is no longer just about answers—it’s about doing things. Building this server taught me that with persistence and experimentation, the possibilities are endless. #AI #MachineLearning #MCP #ClaudeAI #Automation #ArtificialIntelligence #TechInnovation #Productivity #AIAgents #FutureOfWork I have attached a video showing the working and also shared the github repo for code https://lnkd.in/dDNuubiE

📌 Post 4 in SLM Series: “The Secret Weapon: Fine-Tuned SLMs” 🔑 Trained on less. Performs like more. Most people assume that only giant LLMs can deliver cutting-edge results. But here’s the twist: 👉 A fine-tuned Small Language Model (SLM)—optimized for a specific task can often outperform its heavyweight cousin. 💡 How? Because focus beats volume. Instead of trying to know everything, an SLM trained on domain-specific data (finance, healthcare, compliance, IoT, customer service) develops sharper instincts where it counts. ⚙️ The toolkit that makes this possible: > Quantization → Compresses models so they run fast (and cheap) on edge devices. > LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) → Fine-tunes efficiently without retraining the entire model. > Adapters → Plug-and-play modules that inject domain expertise directly. Think of it like this: > A generalist LLM is a massive library. > A fine-tuned SLM is the expert consultant who already knows where the answers are. The future isn’t just big models everywhere. It’s small, sharp, specialized models—deployed at scale. ✨ Because in business, it’s not about the biggest brain. It’s about the right brain for the job. 🔄 Over to you: Where do you see the biggest impact of fine-tuned SLMs—in customer support, compliance checks, or edge AI? #SLM #AI #FutureOfWork LangChain Cohere

Your AI Strategy Shouldn't Come in a Black Box. For too long, manufacturers have been locked into proprietary, "black-box" machine vision systems. While powerful for specific tasks, these monolithic solutions limit scalability, create data silos, and tie you to a single vendor's roadmap. The future of enterprise AI is open, flexible, and vendor-agnostic. Our architectural philosophy is simple: use the absolute best tool for every job. This is the power of a multi-cloud approach. For our AI quality control blueprint, this means: 🔹 Leveraging #AWS for its robust, secure, and cost-effective edge-to-cloud pipeline (AWS IoT Greengrass) and its industry-leading data lake storage (Amazon S3).   🔹 Integrating #GoogleCloud specifically for model training, using #VertexAI Vision's best-in-class #AutoML capabilities to build higher-accuracy models in a fraction of the time.   This isn't about using multiple clouds for the sake of it. It's a deliberate strategy that delivers tangible benefits: ✅ Maximum Performance: Unconstrained by a single ecosystem. ✅ Faster Time-to-Value: Accelerating model development from months to weeks.    ✅ True Data Ownership: Building a sovereign data asset in your cloud account that becomes a compounding source of intelligence. Don't just buy a tool. Build a strategic capability. #MultiCloud #CloudStrategy #AI #DigitalTransformation #VendorAgnostic #FutureOfManufacturing

Next Big Shift in AI Isn’t in the Cloud. It’s at the Edge. Everyone’s obsessed with ChatGPT and cloud AI. But the real revolution is happening quietly: Edge AI, AI running directly on your device, not in a data center. Why does this matter? Speed: No latency, instant decisions. Privacy: Data never leaves your phone, car, or IoT device. Cost: Less reliance on expensive GPU-heavy servers. Think about it: Your phone predicting health risks in real-time. Cars making split-second safety decisions without cloud dependency. Factories using offline AI to optimize production instantly. Companies betting big on this: Apple (on-device AI in iOS), Qualcomm (Snapdragon AI chips), and even startups building tiny models that run offline. Edge AI won’t replace cloud AI, but it’ll redefine where intelligence lives. In 3 years, we won’t ask “Is this app AI-powered?” ,we’ll ask “Does this run locally?” #AI #EdgeAI #TechTrends #FutureOfWork #Innovation #founderslife #startup
