We spoke about designations, responsibility, and whether a title really matters when you are building and managing a business.We then went back to the beginning and spoke about how K Raheja was founded, the early learnings that shaped the business, and the importance of relationships in real estate. What stood out was how much of the industry is still built around trust, long-term relationships, and the ability to manage people effectively.A big part of the conversation was around commercial real estate and why K Raheja has historically focused on lease projects. Vijayata explained the parameters that go into evaluating these developments and how the thinking differs when you are building an asset for long-term income rather than an outright sale.The conversation then moved into hospitality, where we went deep into how the business model works, its advantages and challenges, how returns are monitored, and how partnerships with international hotel brands actually work. We also discussed the less visible side of large developments—managing cash flows, planning investments, and navigating periods like COVID when the hospitality industry faced one of its biggest disruptions.Beyond real estate, we spoke about hiring, the importance of systems and trackers, and how structured processes can help businesses scale. Towards the end, Vijayata shared her vision for the next ten years, her thoughts on the role of education in shaping a career, and what she enjoys outside of work.We wrapped up with a rapid-fire round and one final question: what is the one piece of advice she would give to the next generation of developers?A conversation about leadership, commercial real estate, hospitality, relationships and what it takes to build a business with a long-term view.Instagram: Personal Id: https://www.instagram.com/vijaytaraheja.official/Company Id: https://www.instagram.com/krg.india/

On today's show Ben and Andrew begin with initial reactions to Meta's settlement with 29 states, including behavioral remedies that will impose restrictions on teens using Facebook and Instagram. From there: Reactions to a report that Nvidia is set to acquire HuggingFace, including why a robust open source ecosystem looks increasingly urgent for Nvidia, and why OpenAI's surprisingly impressive jalapeño chip underscores the point. At the end: Netflix pivots from a longstanding refusal to funnel customers to rivals, F1's declining ratings on AppleTV, ESPN abandons the bottom line for college football, Stanley Druckenmiller uses AI for his Wall Street Journal op ed, a vibe coding question (and more adventures with Ben's over-engineered psychosis), a coffee pot question, parameter sizes and the mysteries of model performance, and a hurling PSA yields an appreciation for various sports on TV.

#HRhelpdesk #IndiaHRGuide #MandeepSingh, most organisations evaluating AI in HR focus on features, capabilities and demonstrations. Very few ask a far more important question: Can I really depend on this AI system? In this episode, Mandeep Singh introduces the AI in HR Reliability Framework, a practical approach for evaluating whether an AI product is genuinely dependable for Human Resources. Rather than focusing on technology alone, the discussion examines eight critical reliability parameters: Repeatability, Accuracy, Interpretation, Memory, Capacity, Hallucination, Bias and Consistency. Through practical HR examples, Mandeep explains why the same AI system should produce the same result when presented with the same information, why employee data must remain accurate, how AI should correctly interpret different ways of asking the same question, and why organisations need clarity on the system's memory and capacity limits. The episode also explores two of the most important AI risks facing organisations today: hallucinations (non-factual outputs) and bias, and explains why every organisation must identify and measure these risks before depending on AI-driven outcomes. The central message is simple: do not evaluate AI only by what it can do. Evaluate it by how reliably it does it. Organisations should test AI against their own data, establish acceptable thresholds, understand the risks they are carrying, and build appropriate guardrails before AI is allowed to influence HR decisions. This episode provides HR leaders, HR technology professionals and business leaders with a practical framework for judging whether an AI product is truly ready to be trusted in the Human Resources function.

In this presentation, Syed Ali Hur Kamoonpuri develops a Qur'ānically grounded definition of ghuluww (religious exaggeration), challenging reductionist readings that limit it only to claims of divinity or prophethood for the Imams. Engaging the views of scholars like Grand Ayatullah Sistani and Ayatullah al-Muhsini, he argues for a rigorous, evidence-based standard — one anchored in the Imams' own call to be like "mid-sized cushions," neither excessive nor deficient in belief.

We kick off this episode talking about the recent reemergence of Kevin Spacey, after which we shift gears and discuss the World Cup, and President Trump's meddling on America's behalf specifically. We talk about the recent lawsuit against Meta for allegedly making Facebook so addicting, which causes us to wonder where personal responsibility factors in. We wrap things up by touching on author Michael Pollan's provocative questions about the parameters of consciousness.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length:49 minutesSynopsis: This morning (6/18/26), in lieu of morning Mishlei, we had the last Q&A - and last shiur! - of the 2025-2026 season. We took up four questions: (1) What are the parameters of philosophical/ethical bribery? (2) How do you navigate having friends who could potentially have a bad influence on you, and how might you have a good influence on them? (3) What would you say to a person who is unaware that the Torah cares about our inner life? (4) How does one explain our yeshiva when asked about it? (I was actually asked another question about my thoughts on the role of Israel in our Jewish life, but I declined to answer - not only because I keep all my Zionism articles behind a paywall, but because I'm considering writing another one this summer and I don't want to make any statements until I've written it.)This was my last YBT shiur of 2025-2026, and what a great year it's been. I'm looking forward to summer break, but I'm already excited about what next year will bring!-----מקורות:משלי טו:כזדעות ו:אאבות ב:טhttps://www.yeshivabneitorah.org/-----The Torah Content for the month of Tammuz is sponsored by Yael Weiss.

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay reports on the quantified relationship between rheology of a granular biomaterial and tissue self-organization, a study conducted by research groups at the University of California, the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in San Francisco, Stanford University, and Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. The collaborators developed a 3D-bioprinter with a piezoelectric print head to control mechanical forces and a composite extracellular matrix for the biomaterial. One aim of the research was to demonstrate a print medium that could be used to produce a wide variety of biological structures. This work was published in a recent issue of Nature Materials.

You were not failing at your diet. Your nervous system was doing exactly what it learned to do to survive. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof go deep on one of the most personal and most pervasive patterns they have both lived through: the disordered relationship with food and the body. Building on their recent conversation with Luis Mojica, this is the episode where they go further, bringing the neuroscience, the lived experience, and the practical path forward into a single, honest conversation. Both hosts have a long history with binge eating disorder. For decades, food was the primary regulation strategy, the way the nervous system found relief from stress it had no other tools to process, the way the body found pleasure when pleasure felt dangerous, and the way a dysregulated system managed to keep functioning. They are not talking about this from the outside. They are talking about it from the other side. The conversation moves through several layers. First, why food behaviors are regulation strategies, not character flaws, and why disordered eating works, at least until it doesn't. Then into interoception, the brain's ability to sense internal body signals, and how disrupted interoceptive awareness drives everything from not knowing you're full to being unable to feel your own emotional states. They trace how visual processing deficits can distort body image and increase stress load, how the default mode network gets locked into self-referential rumination and body obsession, and how the salience network learns to flag the body itself as a threat. Elisabeth breaks down what is actually happening neurologically when the obsessive loop runs, why insight alone does not stop it, and what actually interrupts it: sensory anchoring, movement, proprioceptive tools, and the slow building of emotional processing capacity over time. Jennifer brings it back to the body and the breath, to shame, to the secret eating and the shame spirals that followed, and to what it actually felt like to slowly, gradually come out of that. The episode closes with one of the most important reframes in the whole conversation: healing your relationship with food and your body is not about getting the food right. It is a portal into self-attunement, emotional processing, and relational capacity that ripples into every area of life. It is post-traumatic growth.     In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why food behaviors are nervous system regulation strategies, not willpower failures How the absence of early co-regulation leads to using food as a modulation tool Why diets fail without somatic and nervous system support in place How interoceptive deficits drive disordered eating, emotional disconnection, and body image distortion How visual processing issues can compound stress load and body dysmorphia What the default mode network and salience network have to do with food obsession and body rumination Why psychedelics can soften rigid thought loops temporarily but cannot rewire them without nervous system preparation and integration How to interrupt the rumination loop using sensory anchoring, orienting, movement, and proprioception Why shame is harder to metabolize than any food behavior and how to begin working with it somatically How uncoupling pleasure from shame is a critical and often overlooked part of healing the relationship with food and body Why healing the food relationship is one of the deepest portals to relational health and post-traumatic growth   Chapter Markers 0:00 - Food as Energy, Rest, and the High Performer Trap 01:08 - Welcome: Moving From Control to Self-Attunement 03:20 - Six Years of Conversations About Food and How Far We Have Come 06:24 - Every Diet Failed.

The diagnosis of fetal growth restriction can be made with an isolated abdominal circumference less than the 90th percentile. So is the opposite true? Does a fetal abdominal circumference (isolated) of greater than 90% qualify for “LGA” fetus? In this episode we're going to explain why, although it is logically correct, it is diagnostically incorrect. An isolated abdominal circumference on ultrasound of greater than 90% is however a strong predictive risk factor for one delivery finding. Listen in for details.1.

Your pool isn't misbehaving—your targets are. We take you past vague “ideal ranges” and into precise numbers that keep water clear, equipment protected, and algae out for good. Starting with the seven essentials—pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, temperature, TDS, cyanuric acid, and measured chlorine—we explain how each parameter supports the others and how to prevent scale or corrosion using the Langelier Saturation Index. You'll hear why a steady pH of 7.5 and TA near 90 ppm form a stable base, how calcium should match your surface, and when TDS matters in both standard and saltwater pools.The real unlock is the chlorine–CYA relationship. If you've ever watched algae bloom at 10 ppm chlorine, the missing link is cyanuric acid. We lay out Bob Lowry's simplified approach: keep free chlorine at 7.5 percent of CYA for reliable sanitation, or 5 percent when borates are present. At 100 ppm CYA, that means aiming near 8 ppm FC; at 50 ppm CYA, about 4 ppm keeps water safer and clearer with less waste. Lowering CYA to around 50 makes daily control simpler, protects your budget, and avoids the trap of chasing “high” chlorine that still underperforms.We also dig into borates as a practical upgrade. At roughly 50 ppm, borates act as an algistat, slow pH drift, and enhance clarity so chlorine lasts longer and works smarter. Pair borates with disciplined targets and an LSI calculator like the Arenda app, and you'll stop reacting to blooms and start maintaining true balance. Whether you manage a service route or care for your own backyard pool, this walkthrough gives you a playbook: set firm targets, validate with LSI, align chlorine to CYA, and let borates shoulder the heavy lift against algae.• pH at 7.5 for comfort and control• Total alkalinity around 90 ppm to buffer pH• Calcium hardness tailored to surface type• Temperature and LSI to prevent scale or corrosion• CYA at about 50 ppm for effective chlorine• FC as 7.5 percent of CYA, or 5 percent with borates• Borates at 50 ppm as algistat and pH buffer• TDS as context, hSend a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

In this episode, we tackle a critical gap between Power BI's Field Parameters and Excel's live connection capabilities. Inspired by a mailbag submission from Eivind Haugen, we explore the tension between building semantic models that look great in Power BI reports versus models that serve all consumers—including the often-overlooked Excel power users.We dig into why Field Parameters break the Excel experience, when Calculation Groups might be the better choice, and how to design semantic models that truly serve as a single source of truth across multiple consumption tools. If you're building models that connect to Excel, this conversation will change how you think about feature selection and governance.Get in touch:Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.Visit PowerBI.tips: https://powerbi.tips/Watch the episodes live every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 730am CST on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/powerbitipsSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/230fp78XmHHRXTiYICRLVvSubscribe on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explicit-measures-podcast/id1568944083‎Check Out Community Jam: https://jam.powerbi.tipsFollow Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcarlo/Follow Tommy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommypuglia/

Large language models have dominated the AI conversation — but are small language models (SLMs) actually the future?In this episode of TechFirst, host John Koetsier sits down with Andy Markus, SVP & Chief Data and AI Officer at AT&T, to unpack how small language models are delivering enterprise-grade accuracy at a fraction of the cost and latency of massive LLMs.Andy explains how AT&T uses SLMs for:• Contract analysis at massive scale• Network analytics and outage root-cause analysis • Fraud detection and enterprise knowledge systems• AI-driven “field coding” and agent-based workflowsThey also dive into the rise of agentic AI, how structured “archetypes” replace risky vibe coding, and why the future of software development may be humans supervising autonomous AI systems rather than writing every line of code.If you're building AI for real-world, high-scale use cases — especially in enterprise environments — this conversation is essential.⸻GuestAndy MarkusSVP & Chief Data and AI Officer, AT&TFormer SVP at Time Warner Media⸻

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s *In-Ear Insights*, let’s talk about small language models. Katie, you recently came across this and you’re like, okay, we’ve heard this before. What did you hear? Katie Robbert: As I mentioned on a previous episode, I was sitting on a panel recently and there was a lot of conversation around what generative AI is. The question came up of what do we see for AI in the next 12 months? Which I kind of hate that because it’s so wide open. But one of the panelists responded that SLMs were going to be the thing. I sat there and I was listening to them explain it and they’re small language models, things that are more privatized, things that you keep locally. I was like, oh, local models, got it. Yeah, that’s already a thing. But I can understand where moving into the next year, there’s probably going to be more of a focus on it. I think that the term local model and small language model in this context was likely being used interchangeably. I don’t believe that they’re the same thing. I thought local model, something you keep literally locally in your environment, doesn’t touch the internet. We’ve done episodes about that which you can catch on our livestream if you go to TrustInsights.ai YouTube, go to the Soap playlist. We have a whole episode about building your own local model and the benefits of it. But the term small language model was one that I’ve heard in passing, but I’ve never really dug deep into it. Chris, in as much as you can, in layman’s terms, what is a small language model as opposed to a large language model, other than— Christopher S. Penn: Is the best description? There is no generally agreed upon definition other than it’s small. All language models are measured in terms of the number of tokens they were trained on and the number of parameters they have. Parameters are basically the number of combinations of tokens that they’ve seen. So a big model like Google Gemini, GPT 5.1, whatever we’re up to this week, Claude Opus 4.5—these models are anywhere between 700 billion and 2 to 3 trillion parameters. They are massive. You need hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware just to even run it, if you could. And there are models. You nailed it exactly. Local models are models that you run on your hardware. There are local large language models—Deep Seq, for example. Deep Seq is a Chinese model: 671 billion parameters. You need to spend a minimum of $50,000 of hardware just to turn it on and run it. Kimmy K2 instruct is 700 billion parameters. I think Alibaba Quinn has a 480 billion parameter. These are, again, you’re spending tens of thousands of dollars. Models are made in all these different sizes. So as you create models, you can create what are called distillates. You can take a big model like Quinn 3 480B and you can boil it down. You can remove stuff from it till you get to an 80 billion parameter version, a 30 billion parameter version, a 3 billion parameter version, and all the way down to 100 million parameters, even 10 million parameters. Once you get below a certain point—and it varies based on who you talk to—it’s no longer a large language model, it’s a small English model. Because the smaller the model gets, the dumber it gets, the less information it has to work with. It’s like going from the Oxford English Dictionary to a pamphlet. The pamphlet has just the most common words. The Oxford English Dictionary has all the words. Small language models, generally these days people mean roughly 8 billion parameters and under. There are things that you can run, for example, on a phone. Katie Robbert: If I’m following correctly, I understand the tokens, the size, pamphlet versus novel, that kind of a thing. Is a use case for a small language model something that perhaps you build yourself and train solely on your content versus something externally? What are some use cases? What are the benefits other than cost and storage? What are some of the benefits of a small language model versus a large language model? Christopher S. Penn: Cost and speed are the two big ones. They’re very fast because they’re so small. There has not been a lot of success in custom training and tuning models for a specific use case. A lot of people—including us two years ago—thought that was a good idea because at the time the big models weren’t much better at creating stuff in Katie Robbert’s writing style. So back then, training a custom version of say Llama 2 at the time to write like Katie was a good idea. Today’s models, particularly when you look at some of the open weights models like Alibaba Quinn 3 Next, are so smart even at small sizes that it’s not worth doing that because instead you could just prompt it like you prompt ChatGPT and say, “Here’s Katie’s writing style, just write like Katie,” and it’s smart enough to know that. One of the peculiarities of AI is that more review is better. If you have a big model like GPT 5.1 and you say, “Write this blog post in the style of Katie Robbert,” it will do a reasonably good job on that. But if you have a small model like Quinn 3 Next, which is only £80 billion, and you have it say, “Write a blog post in style of Katie Robbert,” and then re-invoke the model, say, “Review the blog post to make sure it’s in style Katie Robbert,” and then have it review it again and say, “Now make sure it’s the style of Katie Robbert.” It will do that faster with fewer resources and deliver a much better result. Because the more passes, the more reviews it has, the more time it has to work on something, the better tends to perform. The reason why you heard people talking about small language models is not because they’re better, but because they’re so fast and so lightweight, they work well as agents. Once you tie them into agents and give them tool handling—the ability to do a web search—that small model in the same time it takes a GPT 5.1 and a thousand watts of electricity, a small model can run five or six times and deliver a better result than the big one in that same amount of time. And you can run it on your laptop. That’s why people are saying small language models are important, because you can say, “Hey, small model, do this. Check your work, check your work again, make sure it’s good.” Katie Robbert: I want to debunk it here now that in terms of buzzwords, people are going to be talking about small language models—SLMs. It’s the new rage, but really it’s just a more efficient version, if I’m following correctly, when it’s coupled in an agentic workflow versus having it as a standalone substitute for something like a ChatGPT or a Gemini. Christopher S. Penn: And it depends on the model too. There’s 2.1 million of these things. For example, IBM WatsonX, our friends over at IBM, they have their own model called Granite. Granite is specifically designed for enterprise environments. It is a small model. I think it’s like 8 billion to 10 billion parameters. But it is optimized for tool handling. It says, “I don’t know much, but I know that I have tools.” And then it looks at its tool belt and says, “Oh, I have web search, I have catalog search, I have this search, I have all these tools.” Even though I don’t know squat about squat, I can talk in English and I can look things up. In the WatsonX ecosystem, Granite performs really well, performs way better than a model even a hundred times the size, because it knows what tools to invoke. Think of it like an intern or a sous chef in a kitchen who knows what appliances to use and in which order. The appliances are doing all the work and the sous chef is, “I’m just going to follow the recipe and I know what appliances to use. I don’t have to know how to cook. I just got to follow the recipes.” As opposed to a master chef who might not need all those appliances, but has 40 years of experience and also costs you $250,000 in fees to work with. That’s kind of the difference between a small and a large language model is the level of capability. But the way things are going, particularly outside the USA and outside the west, is small models paired with tool handling in agentic environments where they can dramatically outperform big models. Katie Robbert: Let’s talk a little bit about the seven major use cases of generative AI. You’ve covered them extensively, so I probably won’t remember all seven, but let me see how many I got. I got to use my fingers for this. We have summarization, generation, extraction, classification, synthesis. I got two more. I lost. I don’t know what are the last two? Christopher S. Penn: Rewriting and question answering. Katie Robbert: Got it. Those are always the ones I forget. A lot of people—and we talked about this. You and I talk about this a lot. You talk about this on stage and I talked about this on the panel. Generation is the worst possible use for generative AI, but it’s the most popular use case. When we think about those seven major use cases for generative AI, can we sort of break down small language models versus large language models and what you should and should not use a small language model for in terms of those seven use cases? Christopher S. Penn: You should not use a small language model for generation without extra data. The small language model is good at all seven use cases, if you provide it the data it needs to use. And the same is true for large language models. If you’re experiencing hallucinations with Gemini or ChatGPT, whatever, it’s probably because you haven’t provided enough of your own data. And if we refer back to a previous episode on copyright, the more of your own data you provide, the less you have to worry about copyrights. They’re all good at it when you provide the useful data with it. I’ll give you a real simple example. Recently I was working on a piece of software for a client that would take one of their ideal customer profiles and a webpage of the clients and score the page on 17 different criteria of whether the ideal customer profile would like that page or not. The back end language model for this system is a small model. It’s Meta Llama 4 Scout, which is a very small, very fast, not a particularly bright model. However, because we’re giving it the webpage text, we’re giving it a rubric, and we’re giving it an ICP, it knows enough about language to go, “Okay, compare.” This is good, this is not good. And give it a score. Even though it’s a small model that’s very fast and very cheap, it can do the job of a large language model because we’re providing all the data with it. The dividing line to me in the use cases is how much data are you asking the model to bring? If you want to do generation and you have no data, you need a large language model, you need something that has seen the world. You need a Gemini or a ChatGPT or Claude that’s really expensive to come up with something that doesn’t exist. But if you got the data, you don’t need a big model. And in fact, it’s better environmentally speaking if you don’t use a big heavy model. If you have a blog post, outline or transcript and you have Katie Robbert’s writing style and you have the Trust Insights brand style guide, you could use a Gemini Flash or even a Gemini Flash Light, the cheapest of their models, or Claude Haiku, which is the cheapest of their models, to dash off a blog post. That’ll be perfect. It will have the writing style, will have the content, will have the voice because you provided all the data. Katie Robbert: Since you and I typically don’t use—I say typically because we do sometimes—but typically don’t use large language models without all of that contextual information, without those knowledge blocks, without ICPs or some sort of documentation, it sounds like we could theoretically start moving off of large language models. We could move to exclusively small language models and not be sacrificing any of the quality of the output because—with the caveat, big asterisks—we give it all of the background data. I don’t use large language models without at least giving it the ICP or my knowledge block or something about Trust Insights. Why else would I be using it? But that’s me personally. I feel that without getting too far off the topic, I could be reducing my carbon footprint by using a small language model the same way that I use a large language model, which for me is a big consideration. Christopher S. Penn: You are correct. A lot of people—it was a few weeks ago now—Cloudflare had a big outage and it took down OpenAI, took down a bunch of other people, and a whole bunch of people said, “I have no AI anymore.” The rest of us said, “Well, you could just use Gemini because it’s a different DNS.” But suppose the internet had a major outage, a major DNS failure. On my laptop I have Quinn 3, I have it running inside LM Studio. I have used it on flights when the internet is highly unreliable. And because we have those knowledge blocks, I can generate just as good results as the major providers. And it turns out perfectly. For every company. If you are dependent now on generative AI as part of your secret sauce, you have an obligation to understand small language models and to have them in place as a backup system so that when your provider of choice goes down, you can keep doing what you do. Tools like LM Studio, Jan, AI, Cobol, cpp, llama, CPP Olama, all these with our hosting systems that you run on your computer with a small language model. Many of them have drag and drop your attachments in, put in your PDFs, put in your knowledge blocks, and you are off to the races. Katie Robbert: I feel that is going to be a future live stream for sure. Because the first question, you just sort of walk through at a high level how people get started. But that’s going to be a big question: “Okay, I’m hearing about small language models. I’m hearing that they’re more secure, I’m hearing that they’re more reliable. I have all the data, how do I get started? Which one should I choose?” There’s a lot of questions and considerations because it still costs money, there’s still an environmental impact, there’s still the challenge of introducing bias, and it’s trained on who knows. Those things don’t suddenly get solved. You have to sort of do your due diligence as you’re honestly introducing any piece of technology. A small language model is just a different piece of technology. You still have to figure out the use cases for it. Just saying, “Okay, I’m going to use a small language model,” doesn’t necessarily guarantee it’s going to be better. You still have to do all of that homework. I think that, Chris, our next step is to start putting together those demos of what it looks like to use a small language model, how to get started, but also going back to the foundation because the foundation is the key to all of it. What knowledge blocks should you have to use both a small and a large language model or a local model? It kind of doesn’t matter what model you’re using. You have to have the knowledge blocks. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. You have to have the knowledge blocks and you have to understand how the language models work and know that if you are used to one-shotting things in a big model, like “make blog posts,” you just copy and paste the blog post. You cannot do that with a small language model because they’re not as capable. You need to use an agent flow with small English models. Tools today like LM Studio and anythingLLM have that built in. You don’t have to build that yourself anymore. It’s pre-built. This would be perfect for a live stream to say, “Here’s how you build an agent flow inside anythingLLM to say, ‘Write the blog post, review the blog post for factual correctness based on these documents, review the blog post for writing style based on this document, review this.'” The language model will run four times in a row. To you, the user, it will just be “write the blog post” and then come back in six minutes, and it’s done. But architecturally there are changes you would need to make sure that it meets the same quality of standard you’re used to from a larger model. However, if you have all the knowledge blocks, it will work just as well. Katie Robbert: And here I was thinking we were just going to be describing small versus large, but there’s a lot of considerations and I think that’s good because in some ways I think it’s a good thing. Let me see, how do I want to say this? I don’t want to say that there are barriers to adoption. I think there are opportunities to pause and really assess the solutions that you’re integrating into your organization. Call them barriers to adoption. Call them opportunities. I think it’s good that we still have to be thoughtful about what we’re bringing into our organization because new tech doesn’t solve old problems, it only magnifies it. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. The other thing I’ll point out with small language models and with local models in particular, because the use cases do have a lot of overlap, is what you said, Katie—the privacy angle. They are perfect for highly sensitive things. I did a talk recently for the Massachusetts Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. One of the biggest tasks is reconciling people’s financial aid forms with their tax forms, because a lot of people do their taxes wrong. There are models that can visually compare and look at it to IRS 990 and say, “Yep, you screwed up your head of household declarations, that screwed up the rest of your taxes, and your financial aid is broke.” You cannot put that into ChatGPT. I mean, you can, but you are violating a bunch of laws to do that. You’re violating FERPA, unless you’re using the education version of ChatGPT, which is locked down. But even still, you are not guaranteed privacy. However, if you’re using a small model like Quinn 3VL in a local ecosystem, it can do that just as capably. It does it completely privately because the data never leaves your laptop. For anyone who’s working in highly regulated industries, you really want to learn small language models and local models because this is how you’ll get the benefits of AI, of generative AI, without nearly as many of the risks. Katie Robbert: I think that’s a really good point and a really good use case that we should probably create some content around. Why should you be using a small language model? What are the benefits? Pros, cons, all of those things. Because those questions are going to come up especially as we sort of predict that small language model will become a buzzword in 2026. If you haven’t heard of it now, you have. We’ve given you sort of the gist of what it is. But any piece of technology, you really have to do your homework to figure out is it right for you? Please don’t just hop on the small language model bandwagon, but then also be using large language models because then you’re doubling down on your climate impact. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly.

Craig Unger confirms the Madrid meeting in July 1980, where Bill Casey met with Iranian cleric Mehdi Karoubi, establishing the parameters of the October Surprise by asking Karoubi to delay the hostage release until after the presidential election. The alleged Paris meeting in October involving George H.W. Bush is harder to prove, though investigative work punctured Bush's alibis. Iran was motivated by desperation for American military spare parts, especially after Iraq invaded in September 1980. Unger believes the overall preponderance of evidence suggests the Paris meeting occurred, intended to secure the deal with the highest possible authority. Guest: Craig Unger.

What happens when the data goes dark, yet markets barely flinch? In this episode, Niels and Katy unpack the month of October defined by missing economic releases, relentless equity strength and three extraordinary days of Liberation Day turbulence. They explore why price often tells the truest story, how total portfolio thinking could rewrite the role of trend, and why short term strategies faltered while precious metals surged. The conversation then shifts to the coming wave of alternatives in private wealth and the silent risk inside target date funds, asking how managed futures can reshape retirement outcomes when timing paths go wrong.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Katy on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction and catching up from Boston02:00 - Life without economic data and what markets really need04:20 - Price as the only truth and the limits of official data05:45 - CalPERS, total portfolio thinking and what it means for trend08:20 - AI, data centers and the inflation story hiding in electricity10:30 - Inflation regimes, unstable prices and why trend cares about change12:40 - Year to date trend review across equities, metals, FX and bonds15:10 - Why short term traders struggled in a headline driven year20:00 - Picking “the best strategy” and why robustness matters more than Sharpe24:10 - Parameters, speed of response and treating markets differently26:20

HEADLINE: Confirmed Meetings: Casey in Madrid and the Question of Bush in Paris AUTHOR: Craig UngerSUMMARY: Craig Unger reports strong evidence that Bill Casey met with Iranian cleric Karoubi in Madrid in late July 1980 to set the parameters of the October Surprise deal, specifically demanding the delay of hostage release. While George H.W. Bush's alleged 1980 Paris meeting to "seal the deal" remains unproved, his alibis have been punctured.
