    GPT-5 Made SEO Irreplaceable

    OpenAI’s latest model is trained to be intelligent, not knowledgeable. Wait, what? Yup. You read that right. Here’s an example: Now, you may think this is some pretty esoteric knowledge not broadly relevant to most end users and you’re right. But here’s a tiny, open source model from Google, Gemma 3 4B, just knowing this…

    Google’s Query Fan-Out System – A Technical Overview

    This article describes Google’s system for automatically generating multiple intelligent variations of search queries using a trained generative neural network model. Unlike traditional systems that rely on pre-defined rules or historical query pairs, this system can actively produce new query variants for any input, even for queries it has never seen before. Primary Inputs List…

    Human Friendly Content is AI Friendly Content

    What do humans and AI have in common? We don’t read. Instead we rely on attention mechanisms to process text information. When optimising content for AI and humans you must get to the point early and optimise content to reduce cognitive load. Striking parallels in attention and information processing Transformers use attention mechanisms mathematically equivalent to…

    Analysis of Gemini Embed Task-Based Dimensionality Deltas

    When generating vector embeddings for your text using Gemini Embed there are several embedding optimisation modes: For each one you get slightly different embeddings, each optimised for the task at hand. The embeddings for semantic similarity are the most unique from all other types while retrieval query, retrieval document and fact verification embeddings are most…

    Dynamic per-label thresholds for large-scale search query classification with Otsu’s method

    Solving the “Which Score Is Good Enough?” Puzzle The real-world problem Arbitrary label search-query intent classifiers spit out a confidence score per label.On clean demos you set one global cut-off say 0.50 and move on.In production: Manual tuning per label quickly turns into a never-ending whack-a-mole, especially when the taxonomy is customized client-by-client (e.g., SaaS…
