Hello — I’m Anaïs Dupont. Over the years I’ve spent time inside engineering teams, poking at data pipelines, and helping organisations ask the awkward questions about what exactly is feeding their models. In this piece I’ll walk you through a practical audit mindset for enterprise AI training datasets, focusing on five red flags that often precede data leaks, privacy violations, or...
I’ve been testing compressed vector embeddings for search pipelines for a while now, because the promise is...
I spent the last few weeks pushing a Pixel Tablet through a set of pro-photography chores: rapid culling, raw...
I bought a cheap smart plug for my kitchen lamp last month. It was under £50, tucked into a sale, with shiny app...
I spent a month living with the Tilt Five mixed-reality dev kit on my desk, on my coffee table, and — embarrassingly...
I wanted a private, offline note-taking assistant that I could carry around on a cheap, low-power device. The Raspberry...
I’ve helped teams evaluate incident management tooling from both an engineering and product perspective, and one...
I’ve spent years helping teams balance two competing forces: keeping cloud bills from spiralling out of control while preserving — or even improving — application performance. It sounds like a compromise in principle, but with the right measurement and a practical checklist you can achieve...

I’ve been tracking multimodal AI closely for several years now — not just as a technologist, but as someone who builds product narratives and tests real prototypes. Multimodal models that combine text, images, audio, and even code are no longer research curiosities: they’re tools that reshape...
