PHOTOGRAPHY
Seeing the everyday
Landscapes, street corners, and the light on an ordinary day. Usually with a Sony A7C II.
Hi, I’m sam.

Little pieces ofwork & life.

02 / AI RADAR
What just happened in AI.
Model releases, product updates, and industry moves — each with my one-line take. Updated weekly.
- Alibaba opens Qwen-Image-2.1: one model for both generation and editing
A 7.1B open-weights model that generates and edits images on a single RTX 4090 — open image models just went consumer-grade.
- Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash: Qwen's first omni-modal model built around agentic capability
Audio, video, reasoning and tool calls close the loop in one model — no more stitching three pipelines together.
- OpenAI ships Astra for Law, a frontier product for legal work
After medicine and engineering, frontier models are now delivered per industry — compliance is both the barrier and the moat.
- Anthropic proposes new metrics for measuring the pace of frontier AI development
A lab volunteering to make "how fast are we going" measurable — a transparency signal worth watching.
- Google launches Gemini 3.8 Live, a model that thinks and acts mid-conversation
It quietly handles tasks in the background while you talk — conversational fluency is the new competitive axis.
- Perplexity brings its portable AI computer to Windows RTX PCs
Local agents with no cloud upload — privacy on hardware you already own is a pragmatic play.
03 / OFF THE SCREEN
More than a screen.
My background is in software engineering. What keeps me going is turning a real problem into something useful, then making it a little better.
I enjoy open source and sharing what I learn. Finish something, learn from it, and keep going.
03 / A DIFFERENT RHYTHM
Time away from the desk
At least three hours of badminton a week. A different kind of focus, and a good reason to close the laptop.
Close the laptop. Play the next shot.
A little focus. A lot of joy.04 / THE JOURNEY
Still on the way.
From learning to build, to building things that matter to me.
- AI product manager intern
Joined a real product team and learned how to collaborate and ship.
- Economics
Studied Economics as an undergraduate.
- The story begins
Born. The start of a lifelong curiosity about the world.
2101: hopefully still here. 3001: still figuring things out.
