A note about this month’s awesome sponsors

Zilliz

If you’re playing around with AI apps, check out the Milvus Notebook Gallery from Zilliz - it’s a free collection of hands-on code examples that show you how to use the Milvus open-source vector database for things like multimodal RAG, hybrid search, and building with popular frameworks like LlamaIndex and LangChain. Pretty handy as a starting point for your own projects.

Quotient AI

Quotient quickly evaluates your generative AI products on criteria unique to you and your users so you can ship high quality products in days not months.

Monzo

Monzo are currently hiring. There’s a number of different roles, check out the AI Tinkerers jobs board for more details.
