As we are wrapping up 2025, I thought it would be good to take a look back at the AI models that have left a lasting impact throughout the year. This year brought new AI models to the limelight, whereas some of the older models have also surged in popularity. From Natural Language Processing to Computer Vision, these models have influenced a multitude of AI domains. This article will showcase the models which have produced the most impact in the year 2025. Model Selection Criteria The AI models listed in this article have been selected from HuggingFace leaderboards based on the…

If you follow DLabs.AI on LinkedIn, you might have noticed we publish a series there called ‘InsideAI.’ As we want as many readers to enjoy it as possible, we’ve now decided to post it on our blog too. For the uninitiated: InsideAI is our monthly newsletter that captures the most interesting, surprising, and important news from the previous four weeks in the wonderful world of AI, so this month, it includes everything that caught our eye in February. Ready for some shock and awe?! Let’s dive in. Is Facial Recognition Making the Innocent Look Guilty? Facial recognition is a controversial…

Image by Author   # Introduction  I am currently trying to decide which tools to use for my MLOps and vibe coding projects. There is a new VS Code extension or command-line interface (CLI) app launching every day, claiming to lead in terminal benchmarks or topping the coding leaderboards. There is so much noise in the space that I am compelled to write this article to share my personal experiences with various Agentic Coding CLI tools and what I like about them. Please note that these are my personal experiences, so they may differ from those of others. Additionally, all of…

GPT 5.1 is here. OpenAI is calling it the next big step, and honestly, it feels like one. When GPT-5 came out, people were amazed by its power but not everyone was happy. They removed the o-series models that many users loved for complex reasoning tasks. That move didn’t sit well. Now with GPT-5.1, OpenAI seems to have listened. The update brings back that same deep-thinking ability, only smarter and faster. It’s quick with simple tasks, thoughtful with complex ones, and a lot more natural in how it responds. GPT-5.1 feels less like a tech upgrade and more like a…

Accurate forecasts are the bedrock of most successful businesses. Forecasts give you a clearer picture of the future, and these pictures allow you to create an effective plan. In retail, for example, an accurate forecast can help you plan how much inventory to stock, how many customer service agents to have on standby, and how to avoid running into a cash flow problem if you spot material cost increases down the line. But forecasts come in many forms. Today, we’re dealing with demand forecasting, covering what it is, why it’s important, and how it works. So, let’s start with the main…

Image by Editor   # Introduction  Dask is a set of packages that leverage parallel computing capabilities — extremely useful when handling large datasets or building efficient, data-intensive applications such as advanced analytics and machine learning systems. Among its most prominent advantages is Dask’s seamless integration with existing Python frameworks, including support for processing large datasets alongside scikit-learn modules through parallelized workflows. This article uncovers how to harness Dask for scalable data processing, even under limited hardware constraints.   # Step-by-Step Walkthrough  Even though it is not particularly massive, the California Housing dataset is reasonably large, making it a great choice for…

The Ernie open-source model family has been dormant for a while, but they are here to make it worth the wait. This latest release came out stealthily, but braced for making a huge impact. With a “Thinking with images” mode in a model under 3B parameters, a lot is on offer. This article serves as a guide to ERNI-4.5-VL, testing it on the claims made of its performance during its release. What is ERNIE-4.5-VL? ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B-Thinking might be the longest model name in history, but what it offers more than makes up for it. Built upon the powerful ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B architecture, it’s a…

Doesn’t time fly?! Just like that — it’s Spring! But don’t go thinking this good weather has made us lazy. We’ve been racing around the internet to find the most interesting news from the world of artificial intelligence. So let’s see what happened in March. This Algorithm Can Tell If A Pig Is Happy Or Sad The University of Copenhagen has developed a method for inferring pigs’ emotions based on their grunts using artificial intelligence. The AI pig translator – which can translate oinks, snuffles, grunts, and squeals into feelings – could be used to monitor animal wellbeing and ensure…

Image by Author   # The Theory of “Everything”  Data science projects rely heavily on foundational knowledge, be that organizational protocols, domain-specific standards, or complex mathematical libraries. Rather than scrambling across scattered folders, you should consider leveraging NotebookLM’s “second brain” possibilities. To do so, you could create an “everything” notebook to act as a centralized, searchable repository of all your domain knowledge. The concept of the “everything” notebook is to move beyond simple file storage and into a true knowledge graph. By ingesting and linking diverse sources — from technical specifications to your own project ideas and reports to informal meeting…

We all have used LLMs in different capacities for carrying out a multitude of tasks. But how often have you used it for something that is specific to your culture? That is where all that processing power hits a brick wall. The English-centric nature of most large language models makes it exclusive to an audience familiar with the language. AI4Bharat is here to change that. Their latest offering Indic LLM-Arena aspired to provide an open-source ecosystem for Indian language AI. This article will serve as a guide for what Indic LLM-Arena offers and what its plans are for the future. …
