This article demonstrates how to build decision trees for text data. Specifically, we will incorporate text representation techniques like TF-IDF and embeddings in decision trees trained for spam email classification, evaluating their performance and comparing the results with another text classification model — all with the aid of Python’s Scikit-learn library.

GPT-5 is a large leap forward in frontend development. We have seen the model be excellent at developing full stack applications in one shot, making complex refactors look easy, and making surgical edits within large codebases. In this cookbook we will show some examples and some learnings of developing frontend applications with GPT-5 across multiple axes.

AI News:

OpenAI announced that its reasoning model achieved a gold-level score at the 2025 International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), placing 6th against humans and first among AI in the world’s top pre-college programming competition. The AI competed against top student programmers worldwide, solving coding problems with the same time and submission limits as human contestants.

Investors have historically turned to gold because of its stability. Gold can act like a safety net in your portfolio because its value tends to stay afloat – even when the stock market dives. It’s also considered a hedge against inflation, meaning its value can rise as the buying power of cash goes down. Check out our list of top-rated Gold IRA providers, including some that offer educational materials for gold-investing beginners.

Meta’s FAIR team just introduced TRIBE, a 1B parameter neural network that predicts how human brains respond to movies by analyzing video, audio, and text — achieving first place in the Algonauts 2025 brain modeling competition. TRIBE analyzes video, audio, and dialogue from movies, accurately predicting which of the viewer’s brain regions will activate without any brain scanning.

GitHub's CEO, Thomas Dohmke, is leaving GitHub and Microsoft to become a founder. GitHub and its leadership team will now become part of Microsoft's CoreAI organization. Dohmke will be staying through until the end of the year to help guide the transition. It is unclear whether the departure and the elimination of the CEO position will change how GitHub operates or the products it creates and maintains.

Apple is reportedly finally testing the long-awaited (and many times delayed) revamped Siri, which has features that will allow Apple users to navigate and operate apps using just their voice, turning iPhones into truly hands-free devices. Users will be able to ask Siri to do things like "find a specific photo, edit it, and send it," post comments on social media, log into apps, and add items to online shopping carts—all with their voice.
