Hey everyone! As we’re heading towards the final month of 2024, I’ve been reflecting on what a whirlwind the past few months have been. Q3 and Q4 have been incredibly busy — between running Datalumina, managing client projects, seeing amazing growth in Data Freelancer, shipping the GenAI launchpad, moving into a new office, and onboarding the first customers for our new SaaS product, it’s been a ride. 🚀 On top of that, keeping up with the YouTube channel has been both a challenge and a joy. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite parts of what I do — helping you all learn, grow, and tackle data challenges with confidence. Seeing your feedback and progress keeps me motivated to keep creating. Now, I’m starting to map out my content plans for 2025, and I’d love to hear from YOU. What are you currently learning? What topics would you like me to cover next year? 🎥 Would you like to see more LLM-based tutorials? Deeper dives into machine learning workflows? Maybe even some freelancing tips for data professionals? Or something else entirely? Let me know in the comments — what are you most excited to learn in 2025? This is your chance to shape the direction of the content we create together. Thanks for being part of this community! 🙏🏻 — Dave

The goal of this group is to help you navigate the complex and rapidly evolving world of data science and artificial intelligence.

After two years of building with GenAI, here’s what I wish I’d had from day one... This has been a long time in the making, and I’m excited to finally pull back the curtain on what we’ve been building behind the scenes: The GenAI Launchpad — officially launched on Product Hunt today! 🎉 For the past two years, my team and I at Datalumina have been deeply involved in the world of AI, building solutions with large language models (LLMs) for clients across industries. Each project taught us so much about what it takes to bring AI to life in practical, high-impact ways. But there was one recurring challenge... We spent way too much time setting up project structures, handling integrations, and putting out fires in the infrastructure — leaving less time for the real AI work, the work that brings ideas to life. Not only was setup eating into our time, but we also found that the agent frameworks on the market were just too optimistic. Real-world use cases are more complex and demand reliability and precision that many frameworks simply can’t deliver. So, we got to work! 👷🏼‍♂️ And after two years of trial and error, working with every system and structure you can imagine, we built our own solution. The GenAI Launchpad is the result of our journey — a project repository that streamlines everything from initial setup to deployment, ready to handle the demands of production at scale. And the time savings? ⏳ We’ve calculated that it saves us over 50 hours per project on average, so we can dive right into the creative work that actually advances AI. Today, we’re launching the GenAI Launchpad to share that time-saving power with you — our community of fellow AI enthusiasts and builders. This is more than just a repository; it’s a battle-tested, engineer-approved blueprint that I wish I’d had when we started. It’s here to help you skip the headaches, bypass the boilerplate, and focus on what matters: building innovative AI solutions for real-world problems. If you’ve ever spent weeks fighting project setup, only to finally reach the real work, then you’ll understand why I’m so excited to share this.

Hey everyone, I just completed a new course for you: "Data Science Accelerator". This course will be unlocked, together with "Building Applications with LLMs" at level 3. How to level up? Just interact with the group, get likes and comments, and watch your level go up!
