I am in the process of rediscovering python after a dire cardiac episode. Used to be very active under my favored nickname vegaseat, not 'seat' but 'eat'! Got tired of the arbitrary jolts from MS and Windows 11 and switched totally to LinuxMint. Actually, my commercial grade 'HP 17 laptop' …

I’ve been working on a small Python API client recently, and I realized the request itself is usually the easy part. At first, my code was basically just: requests.get() → raise_for_status() → parse JSON. That worked fine until I started running into timeouts, 429 responses, and the occasional 502/503. The …

I recently completed, for the most part, a wxPython app to convert speech to text in files containing an audio stream. As someone who is hearing impaired I find I am relying more and more on captioning. I am also finding that a number of videos, even when they include …

Large language models are trained on a fixed corpus, and their knowledge is often limited by the documents they are trained on. Techniques like retrieval augmented generation, continuous pre-training, and fine-tuning enhance an LLM's default knowledge. However, these techniques can still not enable an LLM to answer queries that require …

Hi everyone, I'm Hichem. A web developer, Python enthusiast and problem solver. I'm happy to be a member of the DaniWeb community.

This tutorial demonstrates how to build an AI agent that queries SQLite databases using natural language. You will see how to leverage the [LangGraph framework](https://www.langchain.com/langgraph) and the [OpenAI GPT-4o](https://openai.com/index/gpt-4/) model to retrieve natural language answers from an SQLite database, given a natural language query. So, let's begin without ado. ## …

In a [previous article](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/543028/text-classification-and-summarization-with-deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b), I presented a comparison of [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70b](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B) with the [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B) for text classification and summarization. Both these models are distilled versions of the original DeepSeek R1 model. Recently, I wanted to try the original version of the DeepSeek R1 model using the DeepSeek API. However, I was …

In the [last article](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/542973/benchmarking-deepseek-r1-for-text-classification-and-summarization#post2300447), I explained how you can use the [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B) model for text classification and summarization problems. In this article, we will use the [DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70b](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B) for the same tasks. Following results from the [DeepSeek-AI's official paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12948) show that `DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70b` outperform the other distilled models on 4 out of …
