This quote from well-known VC Fred Wilson which was in his most recent blog post resonated with me given the nature of the content that I curate. I hope that you also find it inspiring
"AI and Web3 are two sides of the same coin. AI will help make web3 usable for mainstream applications and web3 will help us trust AI. Together they will lead to a more powerful, more resilient, more trusted, and more equitable Internet"

a) Updates on my Notion page on Web3 topics
Based on this tweet from David Silverman, VP of Product at Polygon Labs, I went a little bit down the rabbit hole of reading up on EIP-7212 and EIP-3704 given the high possibility of their inclusion in an upcoming hard fork of Polygon PoS chain
Some additional reading on EIP-1271 from my friends at Dynamic
Thanks to Matt Sorg of the Solana Foundation for adding more content to the Solana sub-page

Found a great 4 part series on LinkedIn from Theory Ventures on LLM Infra Stack

Some material I curated whilst trying to understand more about OpenAI's Function Calling capability
Cleaned up the presentation/layout of the page where I list the various Generative AI services that I pay a subscription for or have paid a one-time fee for. Also mentioned some unique scenarios of availability of various GenAI products so you can understand the motivation behind looking out for various toolings
There was a bit of buzz amongst academia as well as AI practitioners about Mamba which differs from traditional Transformer models used in LLM's today so started curating some preliminary material on this
