Kimi K2.5 is MoonshotAI’s latest powerhouse, offering sophisticated reasoning capabilities and a massive context window. Now that it’s integrated into Azure AI Foundry, enterprise users can deploy it with the same security and scalability as the GPT family. Beyond its raw specs, Kimi K2.5 is exciting because it has established itself as one of the premier OSS models for agentic workflows, proving to be a strong performer with frameworks like OpenClaw. In this guide, we’ll bypass the portal and use the Azure CLI to stand up a production-ready Kimi K2.5 instance. ...

Have you ever wanted to run Docker commands on a remote machine without logging into it every time? Maybe you’re working with a cloud development box, testing on different architectures, or simply leveraging more powerful remote compute resources. Whatever your use case, Docker’s built-in SSH support makes this incredibly straightforward. I use a Macbook (which is ARM-based) for my local development, and a lot of times I need to build container images for amd64 architecture, also I don’t wanna run a bulky Docker Desktop locally. ...

Introduction Claude Code is an incredible AI-powered coding assistant that runs in your terminal. While it typically connects to Anthropic’s API, did you know you can use it with GitHub Hosted Anthropic Models instead? This is particularly useful if you have access to GitHub’s AI model. In this post, I’ll show you how to proxy Claude Code requests to GitHub-hosted Anthropic models using litellm, an open-source proxy server that translates between different LLM API formats. ...

Let’s face it, writing commit messages is tedious work. I’ve been using LLMs to write my commit messages for a while now. But until now, I used to copy the diffs manually and paste it into some chat window and ask the LLM to write a commit message. I’ve been trying various CLI tools viz. OpenAI’s Codex CLI, Google’s Gemini CLI, etc. But codex lacks piping support and Gemini CLI cannot be used with internal codebases! I can use GitHub Copilot extension in VS Code with internal codebases, but I wanted a CLI tool that I can use in my terminal. GitHub Copilot is now free for all GitHub users, so this is useful for everyone. ...

Grok-3 is xAI’s latest language model that offers advanced reasoning capabilities and conversational AI features. With the release of Grok-3, xAI’s latest and most powerful language model, on Azure AI Foundry every Azure user now has access to the model. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the complete process of deploying Grok-3 on Azure, from setting up the infrastructure to making your first API calls. Prerequisites Before we begin, make sure you have: ...

Deploying OpenAI Text-to-Speech (TTS) Model on Azure: A Step-by-Step Guide Azure Cognitive Services provides a straightforward way to deploy OpenAI models, including powerful text-to-speech capabilities. In this guide, I’ll demonstrate how to deploy a text-to-speech model using Azure CLI commands. Prerequisites An Azure subscription Azure CLI installed and logged in (az login) Step 1: Define Environment Variables Set your environment variables to simplify and standardize deployments. export AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP="example-rg" export AZURE_REGION="eastus" export OPENAI_NAME="example-openai" export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="your-subscription-id" # Keep these variables as is. export AUDIO_MODEL="gpt-4o-mini-tts" export AUDIO_MODEL_VERSION="2025-03-20" Explanation: ...

Introduction In the realm of cloud computing, ensuring data privacy and security is paramount, yet profoundly challenging. One innovative solution to this challenge is Confidential Containers (CoCo)1, designed to provide an extra layer of security for data in use. However, deploying CoCo requires access to specialized hardware, which adds complexity. Beyond just finding the right hardware, the setup involves navigating a maze of technical specifications – from BIOS configurations to kernel versions – making the process daunting. ...

We behave in a certain way. It is shaped by various factors like our upbringing, environment, privilege, etc. But most of the time, it is shaped by our instincts. Until pointed out, we continue to act with our instincts. This instinct-driven behavior is our default behavior. I am making a case that anyone who has never rebelled against or resisted their default behavior will find it hard to achieve success in this world. All the successful people we see have done something that required fighting the default behavior, which led them to achieve something exceptional and become successful. ...

Yet again, this is not a book review, instead, go ahead and read the book Atomic Habits. I can’t recommend it enough. Written by James Clear, the book is not a theoretical text just talking about habits. Rather, it is a handbook that goes into the depth of how habits form, how they can be fostered, how human evolution hinders good habit formation in today’s world, etc. It gives you practical tips and actions on setting good habits and breaking bad ones. ...
