Hi friends,

Welcome to another edition of my monthly newsletter. Let’s dive right in:

❓What can you expect?

This newsletter features tutorials, news, cool repos, and educational nuggets related to Python & AI.

📺📚Tutorials

Here’s a short selection of interesting tutorials from last month that are worth watching:

  • Python for AI developers: A free course on YouTube from me and my colleague Mısra that helps you to build with AI

  • GPT-4 Developer Livestream from OpenAI

  • Generative AI and LLMs - Playlist from James Briggs

  • Harvard CS50’s Web Programming with Python and JavaScript – Full University Course available on freeCodeCamp’s YouTube channel

🐍 News from the Python Ecosystem

  • PyTorch 2.0 is officially here. See the announcement.

  • PyTorch Lightning 2.0 is here. Among other changes, the team is introducing Fabric, a fast and lightweight way to scale PyTorch models with just a few lines of code.

  • Python 3.12.0 alpha 6 released - In case you missed it, you can already play around with the next Python version.

  • Pandas 2.0 is almost here! Keep an eye out in the coming days. See the What’s New blog post and watch the releases page.

🤖AI Month

This month was absolutely crazy in the AI space. I summarized the most important releases in this tweet:

I won’t cover all the details in this newsletter, but if you want to follow a newsletter that is focused on AI only, I created a list of 15 great AI newsletters here.

🤝Cool Repos

  • python-github-action-template: A template that lets you easily schedule a Python script with GitHub Actions

  • langchain: LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. It facilitates building applications with LLMs through composability.

💡Python Tip

Use more dataclasses in your Python code. Gets rid of so much boilerplate:

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class Student:
    age: int
    name: str

student = Student(22, "Anna")
print(student)
# Student(age=22, name='Anna')

I hope you enjoyed the read!

Patrick
