OpenAI Expands ChatGPT Ads With CPC Bidding and Contextual Targeting

OpenAI is expanding its ChatGPT advertising pilot beyond a CPM-only buying model, adding CPC bidding and a beta self-serve Ads Manager.

Multimodal AI: how a text model learns to see

A model that only ever read text now looks at a photo of your fridge and suggests a recipe. Nothing about "predicting the next token" obviously explains how it can see. The bridge is simpler and more elegant than it looks. Multimodal AI — models that handle images, audio, and text together — feels like a different kind of technology. It isn't. It's the same machinery with one clever addition. Her...

My Javascript Learning Journey:Async,Await,iterators & Generators

Today I learned several important JavaScript concepts related to asynchronous programming and iteration. Instead of only learning how these features work, I focused on understanding why they were introduced, the problems they solve, and where they are used in real-world applications.

Ask the Right Questions First

Most migration trouble traces back to a question nobody asked in week one. This is the list I run through before agreeing to a date, grouped by what each answer protects you from. The short version. Five questions decide the project: what success is, who signs, who decides, what happens if it goes wrong, and what happens to work created during the gap. What does success look like? Bef...

Stage 2: Profile the Source

This article gives you the seven checks to run on every extract and what each one changes. The short version.

Every one of these has a cheap check that catches it early and an expensive version that catches it late. This is the list, ordered by how much the late version costs. The short version.

Hypercare is the close support period straight after go-live. It ends with a final reconciliation report, an internal readout, and a handoff to whoever supports the client from here.

Retrieval-augmented generation on a WordPress site works like this: index your pages, find the passages that match the visitor's question, paste them into the model's system prompt, ask for an answer.
