In this Folium tutorial, we build a complete set of interactive maps that run in Colab or any local Python setup. We explore multiple basemap styles, design rich markers with HTML popups, and visualize spatial density using heatmaps. We also create region-level choropleth maps from GeoJSON, scale to thousands of points using marker clustering, and […]

In this tutorial, we build a hierarchical planner agent using an open-source instruct model. We design a structured multi-agent architecture comprising a planner agent, an executor agent, and an aggregator agent, where each component plays a specialized role in solving complex tasks. We use the planner agent to decompose high-level goals into actionable steps, the […]

Generative AI’s current trajectory relies heavily on Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) to manage the computational cost of high-resolution synthesis. By compressing data into a lower-dimensional latent space, models can scale effectively. However, a fundamental trade-off persists: lower information density makes latents easier to learn but sacrifices reconstruction quality, while higher density enables near-perfect reconstruction but […]

President Donald Trump’s sudden order comes after the Defense Department pressured Anthropic to drop restrictions on how its AI can be used by the military.

Anthropic says it would be “legally unsound” for the Pentagon to blacklist its technology after talks over military use of its artificial intelligence models broke down.

On Friday afternoon, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, accusing Anthropic, the AI company behind Claude, of attempting to “STRONG-ARM” the Pentagon and directing federal agencies to “IMMEDIATELY CEASE” use of its products. At issue is Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s refusal of an updated agreement with the US military agreeing to “any lawful use” of […]

Nearly two hours after President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he was banning Anthropic products from the federal government, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took it one step further and announced that he was now designating the AI company as a “supply-chain risk,” which Anthropic says it is willing to challenge in court.

Have HR leaders set too much of a focus on the skills-based approach? In an exclusive conversation GE HealthCare’s CPO, Adam Holton, UNLEASH explores this idea in greater depth.

Three former Meta engineers have built the “spiritual successor” to communication platform Workplace: Slashwork. It aims to be an “indispensably useful HR tool” built for the AI age. UNLEASH sits down with CEO & Co-Founder Jackson Gabbard to find out how Slashwork will disrupt HR tech.

In this UNLEASH exclusive interview, ADP’s Chief Talent Officer, Jay Caldwell, shares how leaders are shaping how technology lands in the workplace – from ethics to engagement – and how organizations can harness AI to drive growth, rethink productivity, and put people at the center of every decision.

A prevailing narrative at the moment is that AI is reshaping entry-level roles so rapidly that it is significantly altering annual hiring numbers for early-career talent. In short: the end of entry-level roles is nigh. There’s no denying that AI is automating routine, repeatable tasks that have historically formed foundational skills for many early career […]

Banks are testing a new type of artificial intelligence, like agentic AI, that does more than scan for keywords or follow preset rules. Instead of relying only on static alerts, some trading desks are beginning to use systems designed to reason through patterns in real time and flag conduct that may need human review. Bloomberg […]

Improving trust in agentic AI for finance workflows remains a major priority for technology leaders today. Over the past two years, enterprises have rushed to put automated agents into real workflows, spanning customer support and back-office operations. These tools excel at retrieving information, yet they often struggle to provide consistent and explainable reasoning during multi-step […]
