What is a Mixture-of-Experts model, really?

An experiment reveals how different layers shape what a model understands, retrieves and ultimately generates.

One Year in Multimodal AI at GovTech

“I came here expecting to build models for people who already knew what they wanted. I discovered that the harder work is figuring out what should be built, who it is for, and whether it solves a real problem.”

ORCA Part 2: Under the Hood

How ORCA works under the hood: routing each request to the right agent, running generated code in an isolated sandbox, and turning repeat chat tasks into reusable workflows.

Stress-Testing Government Communications with AI Personas Grounded in Real Voices

Government communications can misfire in ways their authors never intended. We built an app that lets officers stress-test drafts against AI personas grounded in real Singapore voices, so they can catch what they missed in minutes rather than weeks.

The Road Under the Harness

Previously I wrote about building a harness for yourself. This one is about the environment you're building in, and why at enterprise scale, if the platform underneath doesn't exist, individual wins have nowhere to accumulate.
