Introduction to AI Enthusiasts
Good morning, AI enthusiasts, this week’s issue spans from deep technical builds to thought-provoking social insights. Our feature dives into Graph Neural Networks for knowledge graphs, showing how to generate powerful node embeddings with PyTorch Geometric, complete with a biomedical case study and code.
Featured Topics
We also break down:
- How engineers actually train LLMs at scale, from ZeRO to speculative decoding
- DSPy’s “Signatures” and “Modules” for structured, model-agnostic AI development
- A Python walkthrough of Conway’s Game of Life and its emergent patterns
- What a one-hour ChatGPT outage says about our growing emotional ties to AI

Plus, in the community: a protocol for AI memory management, open collaboration calls, and a dataset-free GUI detection workflow you can join.
Featured Community Post
Silentsentinel6943 has built MARM, a protocol-based memory management for AI. It is designed to improve response accuracy, reduce drift, and stabilize context over long sessions. Check it out on GitHub and support a fellow community member. If you have any ideas to improve it, connect in the thread!
AI Poll of the Week
Looks like GPT-5 is far from a universal crowd-pleaser. 42% are fully on board with it, and a not-so-small 20% want the old model lineup back entirely. That’s a pretty even spread between excitement, indifference, and outright resistance, suggesting OpenAI’s big shift isn’t landing the same way for everyone.
Collaboration Opportunities
The Learn AI Together Discord community is flooding with collaboration opportunities. If you are excited to dive into applied AI, want a study partner, or even want to find a partner for your passion project, join the collaboration channel! Keep an eye on this section, too — we share cool opportunities every week!
