Manoj Arora reposted thisManoj Arora reposted thisYesterday, a user reported a bug. "The AI gave the wrong answer." The problem? I didn't remember: - The exact prompt - The model version - The tool calls - The execution context Reproducing the issue became harder than fixing it. That got me thinking... Git lets us go back to any commit. Logs let us inspect what happened. But where's the equivalent for AI executions? So I've been experimenting with something new in Sequa. Instead of treating cassettes as static files, they become searchable AI executions. Imagine being able to: $ sequa search "refund" --since yesterday Find the exact execution. Then simply: $ sequa replay <execution> Replay the same request, context, and response locally to debug, compare prompts, or validate a fix. The goal isn't just faster tests anymore. It's making AI applications reproducible. I'm curious, how are you debugging AI issues reported days after they happen?

Manoj Arora reposted thisManoj Arora reposted thisBuilding developer tools is different from building applications. Every API should feel intuitive. Every abstraction should disappear into the background. Every integration should require as little code as possible. That's the philosophy behind Sequa. Today, we're releasing the first public version of our open-source Python library for recording and replaying AI executions. Current capabilities include OpenAI support, with LangChain integration available and additional provider support actively in progress. We're building Sequa in public and would love feedback from developers building AI applications. If you try it, let us know what works well, what doesn't, and what you'd like to see next.

Manoj Arora reposted thisManoj Arora reposted thisRecently, I have come across few real stories of hardships and tough times faced by aspiring #startup #entrepreneurs in paving their way towards #success and few who could not have made it to the last mile due to various circumstancial reasons. I could not stop sharing my experiences as to how one can take help and get guidance from evolved #mentor networks and ecosystem at present in #Bharat and we are more than happy to support anytime, do drop us ur any query any time you will get detailed reply with in few hours 📲:gagan@crestinnovations.com 🔑 1. #Domain-Specific Insight Mentors understand industry nuances—from customer behavior to supply chains, regulations, and competitive dynamics. They help startups avoid naive mistakes, like misjudging market size or ignoring compliance issues. We even go down #deep in to the #product level discussions to make it proper product market fit with the teams. Example: A healthcare startup might underestimate the regulatory burden—until a sector mentor flags it early. 🧭 2. #Strategic Decision-Making Support Sector mentors offer contextual advice that general business mentors may miss. They guide pivots, pricing, partnerships, or technology choices based on real-world experience. We emphasise on deep #market #reaserches at idea stage to not loose steam at the end anytime for proper modulations of solutions to the problems. ⚠️ 3. Early #RedFlag Identification Mentors can spot issues that often precede failure: misaligned products, unscalable models, or flawed unit economics. They challenge assumptions that founders may overlook.We work as #devils #advocate and help in #discovering strenghts and weakness inherent to the evolved products. 🤝 4. #Credibility and #Network Access A mentor’s name and introductions can open doors to investors, clients, suppliers, or collaborators. Startups can accelerate validation, partnerships, and funding by leveraging their mentor’s network.We love to engage at #corporate #innovations and collab with startups. 🧪 5. #Customer & #MarketFit Validation Mentors ensure the startup is solving a real problem for the sector's stakeholders. They help founders define and #refine their #value proposition for maximum impact. 📈 6. #Growth and Scaling Readiness Sector mentors have “seen the movie” of growth, and know the #pain points that appear at each stage. They advise on how to scale operations, hire the right team, or enter adjacent markets wisely. 💡 7. #Realism Without Discouragement A good sector mentor balances optimism with realism. They don’t just say what the founder wants to hear; they provide #constructive, experience-backed criticism that guides better decisions. ✅ Conclusion: #Startups #failure can be curtailed down significantly with onboarding Sector #mentors helping de-risk these core areas. please feel free to ☎️consult and get #deep #insights on your #business #model anytime. #crestinnovationfoundation, #crestcapitaladvisors

Manoj Arora liked thisManoj Arora liked thisThe biggest mistake I see in AI applications Everyone obsesses over prompts. Almost nobody obsesses over testing. Traditional software gives you deterministic tests. AI applications don't. The same input can produce: - Different wording - Different tool selection - Different reasoning paths - Different latency - Different cost That's why testing AI isn't just about checking the final answer. You also need to ask: • Did the agent choose the right tool? • Did it follow the expected workflow? • Did the latency stay within budget? • Did the cost unexpectedly increase? Production AI isn't just prompt engineering. It's testing, observability, evaluation, and reliability. What challenges have you run into while testing AI applications? #AIEngineering #LLMOps #GenerativeAI #Python #OpenSource

Manoj Arora liked thisManoj Arora liked thisRecording AI interactions is useful. Recording guardrailed AI interactions is even more valuable. As AI applications move into production, more teams are adding guardrails to validate prompts and responses before they reach users. But here's an interesting challenge. If your application records an LLM interaction, it should also preserve the behaviour of the guardrails that influenced that interaction. Otherwise, replaying an execution may not reflect what actually happened. That's why we integrated NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails with Sequa. Now, AI executions that pass through NeMo Guardrails can be recorded and replayed as part of the same workflow, making debugging and testing more representative of production behaviour. Reliable AI systems aren't built by looking at the model in isolation. They're built by understanding the entire execution pipeline. What other AI frameworks would you like to see integrated with Sequa? #AIEngineering #OpenSource #Python #LLMOps #NVIDIA #NeMoGuardrails

Manoj Arora liked thisThe Kimi K3 paper is one of those reports worth reading beyond the benchmark table. The architecture is where the interesting ideas are. * Hybrid Attention * Attention Residuals * Stable LatentMoE * Quantile Balancing for MoE routing * Native multimodal architecture Curious to see which of these ideas become standard across future frontier models.Manoj Arora liked thisReleasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3. Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window. New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params. Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it — high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale. 🌙 Model weights: https://lnkd.in/eZyxBUAZ 🌙 Tech report: https://lnkd.in/giZwywVF 🌙 Tech blog: https://lnkd.in/gnQisRGQ

Manoj Arora liked thisManoj Arora liked this📖 While reading AI Engineering by Chip Huyen, I came across a deceptively simple question. If LLMs are trained on text... why don't they process words? Why invent an entirely new unit called tokens? A token is the basic unit of text an LLM processes. It could be a whole word, part of a word, punctuation, or even a single character. Using tokens instead of words turns out to be one of the smartest engineering decisions behind modern AI. Here are the three reasons: 1️⃣ Tokens capture meaningful building blocks. Instead of treating "cooking" as one word, the tokenizer can split it into: ➡️ cook + ing The model learns what "cook" means and what "ing" represents, then reuses that knowledge across thousands of other words. 2️⃣ They drastically reduce the vocabulary size. Imagine if the model had to memorise every possible word: > cook > cooked > cooking > cooker > cooks ... Now multiply that across every language. Instead, the model learns a much smaller set of reusable tokens, making training and inference far more efficient. 3️⃣ They help models understand words they've never seen. Suppose tomorrow someone invents the word: ➡️ "chatgpting" The model may never have seen that exact word before. But it can split it into: > "chatgpt" + "ing" Because it already understands both pieces, it can infer the meaning of the new word. Why this matters in production AI Once you start building LLM applications, tokenization isn’t just a preprocessing step. It directly impacts: * 💰 API cost * 📏 Context window utilization * 📚 RAG chunking and retrieval quality * ⚡ Latency and throughput * 🌍 Multilingual performance Understanding tokenization helps you make better engineering decisions not just better prompts. The next time someone says, "LLMs charge per token." Remember... Tokens aren't just a billing unit. They're one of the core engineering ideas that make modern LLMs scalable, efficient, and surprisingly good at understanding language. #AI #AIEngineering #LLMs #MachineLearning #GenerativeAI #Tokenization

Manoj Arora liked thisCredit helps to sell more ( उधारी पर माल बेचने से sale बढ़ सकती है) is a myth. Many sales professionals believe that extending more credit automatically leads to higher sales. In reality, credit may increase billing in the short term, but it does not necessarily create genuine demand and sustainable sales growth. When a market is healthy, retailers and distributors are willing to invest their own money because they are confident of product movement. If sales growth depends heavily on extending credit, it often indicates that demand is weak or that the product is not creating enough pull in the market. Retailers invest their own money when product movement is healthy. Why More Credit Often Fails to Increase Sales 1. Credit does not create consumer demand. A distributor may take additional stock because of easier payment terms, but if consumers are not buying, the inventory simply sits in the channel. 2. Credit inflates inventory, not sales. Pushing stock into the trade may increase primary sales figures for a short period, but secondary sales remain unchanged. 3. Customers become credit-dependent. Instead of focusing on business growth, trade partners start negotiating for longer credit periods and larger limits. 4. Cash flow suffers. Every additional day of credit locks working capital, increases collection risks, and reduces the company's ability to invest in market development. 5. Competitors can always offer more. If credit becomes your competitive advantage, someone else can easily beat you by offering even longer terms. Extending the credit period is often a counter productive:- 1. It increases sales on paper, not necessarily in reality 2. Working capital gets blocked 3. Increases cash flow pressure 4. It attracts the wrong customers 5. The risk of overtrading increases 6. Higher risk of bad debts 7. Reduced profitability 8. It reduces urgency to pay to the supplier. 9. Weak negotiating power leading to demand of low price, high discounts more schemes.) 10. It can damage pricing discipline 11. Sustainable growth comes from value, not credit Better Alternatives to Extending Credit is :- 1.Improve product availability 2.Enhance service levels 3.Strengthen retailer Profitability 4.Run performance based incentive schemes 5.Offer early payment discounts 6.Help customers sell more. 7.Improve customer engagement. 8.Optimize product portfolio. 9.Use selective credit, not blanket credit. 10.Generate consumer demand. 11. Enhance market execution. 11. Strengthen relationships. 12. Focus on value selling. 13. Develop sales capability. The last word :- "Credit can facilitate business, but it cannot create business." Credit can be a tool, but when it becomes the primary growth strategy, it often weakens profitability, cash flow, and customer quality . Instead of relying on longer credit periods, focus on factors that create real demand and sustainable growth:
