As an advocate for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, I've watched this ecosystem evolve with both excitement and frustration. Servers like Context7 have unlocked new potential for LLMs, turning static assistants into capable agents. Yet lately, the whispers have grown into a roar: "MCP is burning through
The buzz around AI is deafening. Every tech blog, conference, and boardroom is talking about deploying AI. But amidst the hype, it's easy to lose sight of the most crucial question: What problem are we actually solving? In the world of IT Service Management (ITSM), true value from
A quiet but profound shift is reshaping the AI landscape. Reports indicate that ChatGPT is dramatically reducing its use and citation of content from Reddit. This isn't just a minor algorithm tweak; it signals a maturing AI industry that’s prioritising quality and reliability over sheer conversational volume.
At last, GPT-5 is now available in the Azure UK South region. I was looking forward to using this deployment to test several existing applications, assuming an 'upgrade' from GPT-4 was inevitable. However, whilst the output was significantly better for my applications, I was concerned that the temperature
The way we manage information has shifted dramatically in my career. I remember when document intelligence meant something very different — a world that now feels almost prehistoric compared to the AI-powered systems we’re building today. From Paper Mountains to Digital Archives My journey began many years ago at a
Last Friday, a simple craving for a burger led me to an unexpected realisation. While waiting in line at Burger King, I watched as a young employee, clearly disengaged, kicked a dropped drink under the counter. On its own, it was a small act. But it spoke volumes about how
I think I’m a natural entrepreneur. It’s not a job title; it’s a way of looking at the world. My first real ‘business’ started in my parents’ garage when I was still at school. I loved Minis – my first car – and I saw an opportunity. I started
The out-of-office is on, the bags are (mostly) packed, and the promise of a well-deserved break is in the air. As techies, we know the value of a good recharge. A week or two away from the keyboard can boost creativity and problem-solving skills when we return. But what if
I had a lovely surprise in last week's quarterly Town Hall Shout-outs. I was given an award for one of our core values: Be Curious. It was a genuinely proud moment — not just because it’s always nice to be recognised by your peers, but because curiosity has
I am, if I’m being honest, technically attuned. My brain is a relentless engine of ideas, constantly identifying challenges and architecting solutions for the business. I have so much I want to say, to contribute, to demonstrate. I see the pathways to adding huge value. And yet, there'
When it comes to NLP search, a tiny robot drowning in an ocean of data (too-large chunks) isn't going to find what you're looking for efficiently. But give it perfectly sized, "just right" information snippets, and watch it become a search superstar
In the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) like those offered through Azure OpenAI, "temperature" is a hyper-parameter that controls the randomness of the model's output. Think of it like a thermostat for creativity.
