The speed at which it’s adding new users and new use cases is nothing short of amazing. But what are people doing with all this access now?

Working with AI is easy to get started with. Type a sentence or two into a chatbot and you’re good to go. Tasks that used to be complex operations that had to built with multiple complex steps, can now be done with a couple plain English sentences into ChatGPT. It’s a very low barrier of entry to using complex and flexible computing power.

Now comes the step beyond simple questions. This is where Prompt Building comes in. How can you optimize the sentences you feed into the AI model to give you the best results possible? How can you use this AI Model to do ever more complex tasks?

Thankfully there is a lot of resources and I wanted to share a few with them here with you.

How are you working with AI? Do you have specific prompts or prompt structures you use all the time? Do you have a particular prompt you use often? Or one you are proud of crafting? Let everyone know and discuss in the comments.

They are attempting to bring the power of AI processing to your desk. It’s great to see the company coming closer to making this a reality, and I’m sure many competitor are watching this launch closely.

From NVIDIA

Powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, NVIDIA DGX Spark delivers 1000 AI TOPS of AI performance in a power-efficient, compact form factor. With the NVIDIA AI software stack preinstalled and 128GB of memory, developers can prototype, fine-tune, and inference the latest generation of reasoning AI models from DeepSeek, Meta, Google, and others with up to 200 billion parameters locally, and seamlessly deploy to the data center or cloud.

I am very excited to see this product in the wild and see some real user testing. It’s a project I will be following closely. The idea of having a full AI model running locally brings a new world of possibilities and personalization around AI.

What are your thoughts on desktop AI computers like this one?

Technology is entering our schools before the rules and norms are created.

“We are morphing so fast that our ability to invent new things outpaces the rate we can civilize them.”

Kevin Kelly, The Inevitable (affiliate link)

Technology used to take generations to make a significant impact in schools. Computers trickled in over years, but now, advancements like AI are transforming classrooms overnight. Students today won’t remember a world without these tools, and the speed of adoption is only accelerating. With widespread access to devices and the internet, schools must adapt quickly to keep up with this ever-evolving landscape.

How do we adapt the monolithic and slow administrative overhead in schools to keep students prepared for the world they are entering?

The technology is only going to move faster and enter the classroom quicker. How do educational institutions adapt?

These are going to be shorter writings that share observations, thoughts, and links I have around technology and education.

Often I’ll have ideas that need to be explored more before they can become a full post here. Many of these thoughts never become posts and just sit in my drafts folder. So why just keep these to myself?

I’ll be sharing them periodically over time, and they can all be viewed at Tech Tidbits. They will be open to discussion and may turn into longer posts at some point.
