Getting Started with PyTorch: Tensors, Autograd, and Your First Neural Net

PyTorch is the standard framework for deep learning research and production. Most AI papers, Hugging Face models, and state-of-the-art systems use PyTorch. This article gets you from zero to a working neural network. Setup pip install torch torchvision import torch print(torch.__version__) # 2.x print(torch.cuda.is_available()) # True if you have a GPU Tensors A tensor is the fundamental data structure in PyTorch. It is like a NumPy array, but it can run on GPU and supports automatic differentiation. ...

How Neural Networks Work: A Developer's Guide

Neural networks power most AI you use today. ChatGPT, image recognition, voice assistants — all neural networks. You do not need a math degree to understand them. This article explains the concepts clearly, with code examples in plain Python and PyTorch. What Is a Neural Network? A neural network is a function. It takes numbers in, does math, and produces numbers out. That’s it. The magic is in how it learns which math to do. ...

Your First Machine Learning Model with scikit-learn

You know NumPy and Pandas. Now it is time to train a model. scikit-learn is the standard library for machine learning in Python. It is simple, well-documented, and works for most real-world tasks without a GPU. Setup pip install scikit-learn pandas numpy import sklearn print(sklearn.__version__) # 1.5+ The ML Workflow Every supervised ML task follows these steps: 1. Load data 2. Prepare features (X) and target (y) 3. Split into train and test sets 4. Train a model 5. Evaluate on test set 6. Make predictions on new data Let’s go through each one. ...

NumPy and Pandas for Machine Learning: A Practical Crash Course

Before you train any machine learning model, you need to handle data. NumPy and Pandas are the two libraries you will use every day. This is a practical crash course. No theory — just the operations you actually need. Setup pip install numpy pandas Check versions: import numpy as np import pandas as pd print(np.__version__) # 2.x print(pd.__version__) # 2.x NumPy: Arrays NumPy gives you fast multi-dimensional arrays. They are faster than Python lists for math operations. ...

AI/ML for Developers: The 2026 Landscape

AI and machine learning are not the same thing. In 2026, that distinction matters more than ever. This article explains the current state of AI/ML, what changed recently, and gives you a clear learning path as a developer. What Changed in the Last Two Years Two years ago, most developers used AI as a tool — an autocomplete, a chatbot, a code generator. Now, developers are also building with AI. They embed models into apps, fine-tune models for specific tasks, and build pipelines that chain AI calls together. ...

Rust Tutorial #28: Rust for AI/ML — Polars, Burn, PyO3

In the previous tutorial, we explored embedded Rust. Now we look at Rust for AI and Machine Learning — why Rust is growing in this space, what tools exist, and how to implement core ML concepts from scratch. This tutorial builds everything from standard Rust. No heavy dependencies. You will understand the math and patterns behind AI/ML, and learn about the crates that make production use practical. Why Rust for AI/ML? Python dominates AI/ML. So why use Rust? ...
