WRITE FOR HUMANS. GET FOUND BY AI.

Write for Humans, Not AI [5]is Markup AI's framework for B2B marketing teams using AI to scale content production without losing what makes their brand worth reading. Learn where AI belongs in the content process, where human judgment matters most, and how to check whether a piece is genuinely ready to publish.

Quantization makes LLMs 4x smaller and 2x faster [5] while only losing 5-10% in accuracy. This ngrok blog breaks down: * How floating point precision works and how models sacrifice it * How to compress floats [6] using quantization * How to measure model quality loss after quantization Learn how to route between local models and the bleeding edge.

For IT teams, that can turn hardware ownership into a source of financial and operational risk. RETHINKING INFRASTRUCTURE IN A VOLATILE HARDWARE MARKET [5] explores how organizations can reduce their exposure to hardware volatility, improve predictability, and scale infrastructure without being locked into procurement cycles or overprovisioning.
