GITHUB INTEGRATES OPENAI’S NEW MODELS INTO ITS CATALOG, EXPANDING AI
CAPABILITIES FOR DEVELOPERS
⇧ 2,587 Likes
WHAT’S NEW
GitHub now offers o1-preview and o1-mini in Copilot Chat for Visual
Studio Code and the GitHub Models playground.
OpenAI Introduced these 01 Models with advanced reasoning for code
tasks last week.
KEY FEATURES OF THE O1 MODELS AND THIS INTEGRATION WITH GITHUB
*
Advanced reasoning capabilities for code-specific tasks
*
Deeper understanding of code constraints and edge cases
*
Deliberate and purposeful responses for easier problem identification
*
Ability to toggle between models during conversations
*
Integration with GitHub Copilot and Models playground
*
The preview allows developers to test o1 models in the GitHub Models
playground, exploring their capabilities and performance
characteristics.
*
This feature supports the integration of these models into custom
applications, potentially expanding their use beyond GitHub’s tools.
*
Developers can switch between o1-preview, o1-mini, and GPT-4o during
Copilot Chat conversations.
*
This flexibility allows users to select the most appropriate model for
tasks ranging from API explanations to complex algorithm design and
bug analysis.
STRENGTH OF O1 MODELS
The o1 models use an internal thought process to analyze code
constraints and edge cases. This approach aims to produce higher
quality and more efficient code outputs compared to the current
default GPT-4o model. The deliberate response style of o1 models is
intended to help developers identify and resolve issues more quickly.
ACCESS
All Github Copilot users can now join the waitlist to access OpenAI o1
through GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code and GitHub Models.

RAG
EXPLORING MULTIMODAL RAG WITH LLAMAINDEX AND GPT-4 [12]
⇧ 601 Likes
You’ll learn to build a Multimodal RAG system using LlamaIndex, GPT-4,
and Anthropic Sonnet. This tutorial covers retrieving page and
document names, constructing a Multimodal Query Engine, and creating
an agent with reranking. You’ll implement OCR, vector indexing, and
custom query functions. The guide demonstrates practical applications
using an IKEA manual as a complex multimodal dataset.

HANDS-ON GUIDE TO FINE-TUNING FLUX MODELS WITH LORA AND COG [13] [15]
⇧ 890 Likes
Learn to fine-tune FLUX image generation models using open-source
tools. This tutorial covers LoRA-based fine-tuning, automatic image
captioning, and inference. You’ll use Cog for training, integrate with
Weights & Biases, and optionally upload models to Hugging Face. Gain
hands-on experience with continuous deployment and API-based
fine-tuning.
Data Engineering
DATA ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS: FROM INGESTION TO SERVING FOR AI
SYSTEMS FROM ANDREW NG’S ORGANIZATION [14]
⇧ 1,300 Likes
This 4-course Data Engineering Professional Certificate teaches you to
build and manage data pipelines for AI systems. You’ll learn data
lifecycle management, pipeline design, and trade-offs between speed,
scalability, security, and cost. The course covers open-source tools
and modern data architectures. It’s taught by Joe Reis and 17 industry
experts, focusing on practical, job-ready skills.
PYTHON TIP
MANAGING STATE IN ASYNC ML WORKFLOWS WITH PYTHON’S CONTEXTVARS
Python’s contextvars module helps you manage thread-local state in
asynchronous deep learning pipelines. You can create context-specific
variables that persist across asynchronous calls, ensuring data
integrity in complex workflows.
This approach prevents race conditions in parallel processing,
maintains separate states for different execution contexts, and allows
for clean, modular code in asynchronous environments.
It’s particularly useful in distributed training scenarios or when
handling multiple models concurrently.
In the below example, contextvars helps maintain separate, thread-safe
state for each async task, preventing data races when processing
multiple batches concurrently.
import contextvars
import asyncio
# Create a context variable
model_state = contextvars.ContextVar(
‘model_state’, default={}
)
async def update_model(data):
state = model_state.get()
# Update state with new data
state.update(data)
model_state.set(state)
async def process_batch(batch):
await update_model(batch)
# More processing…
async def main():
batches = [{‘batch1’: ‘data’}, {‘batch2’: ‘data’}]
await asyncio.gather(
*(process_batch(b)
for b in batches)
)
print(model_state.get())
# For Jupyter notebooks, use this instead
#of asyncio.run(main())
await main()
The above example is being run in Jupyter notebooks, hence using await
main() instead of asyncio.run(main()).
Jupyter notebooks often run in an environment where an event loop is
already running, so you can directly await the main coroutine.
