Columns Flow turns AI into your data workflow engine. Connect spreadsheets, APIs, and SQL databases, then clean, join, filter, aggregate, pivot, and visualize your data through simple chat. Build reusable, versioned workflows that generate reports and dashboards in minutes, not hours.
As the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to expand, the demand for skilled AI engineers is growing exponentially. Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to advance your career, having a strong foundation in specific skills and tools is crucial.
AI agents are moving beyond one-off prompts. This practical guide from Anthropic explains why the future is designing AI systems that can plan, verify, and improve their own work in loops: a shift that's just as relevant for marketers, operators, and founders as it is for developers.
🚀 Dive into the World of Machine Learning System Design! 🌐How do companies like Netflix, Airbnb, and Doordash apply machine learning to improve their products and processes? We put together a database of 800 case studies from 100 companies that share practical ML use cases and learnings from designing ML systems.️
Anthropic's new orchestrator pattern reaches 96% of Fable 5's results for 46% of the cost, a little over half off. The lighter advisor setup, which consults Fable 5 only about once per task, still holds 92% of its coding score at 63% of the cost, and each sub-agent keeps its own cache so repeated calls don't pay twice. Anthropic's extension keeps included Fable 5 access on paid plans running through July 12.
DoorDash detailed DashBench, an internal benchmark that tests AI code reviewers against 105 of the company's past code changes to see how many problems each setup catches, with a pairing of Kimi K2.6 and Fable 5 performing best. DoorDash built the test after realizing it had no way to count the bugs its AI reviewer missed, since everyday feedback only tracked what the AI flags.
Traditional engineering workflows are broken. Now that AI handles the coding, the real bottleneck is review and verification. In this guide, Fiona Fung, manager of the Claude Code and Cowork teams, shows you how to ditch outdated processes and focus on shipping a great product rather than just writing code.
