neptune-client VS Porcupine  

Hi I am Jakub. I run marketing at a dev tool startup https://neptune.ai/ and I share learnings on dev tool marketing on my blog https://www.developermarkepear.com/.

Whenever I'd start a new marketing project I found myself going over a list of 20+ companies I knew could have done something well to “copy-paste” their approach as a baseline (think Tailscale, DigitalOCean, Vercel, Algolia, CircleCi, Supabase, Posthog, Auth0).

So past year and a half, I’ve been screenshoting examples of how companies that are good at dev marketing do things like pricing, landing page design, ads, videos, blog conversion ideas. And for each example I added a note as to why I thought it was good.

Now, it is ~140 examples organized by tags so you can browse all or get stuff for a particular topic.

Hope it is helpful to some dev tool founders and marketers in here.

wdyt?

Also, I am always looking for new companies/marketing ideas to add to this, so if you’d like to share good examples I’d really appreciate it.

There are a lot of tools out there for experiment tracking (eg neptune.ai), but I'm really not sure whether that sort of thing is over the top for what I need to do.

Welcome to another episode of The Developer-led Podcast, where we dive into the strategies modern companies use to build and grow their developer tools. In this exciting episode, we're joined by Jakub Czakon, the CMO at Neptune.ai, a startup that assists developers in efficiently managing their machine-learning model data. Jakub is renowned not only for his role at Neptune.ai but also for his developer marketing endeavors, including the influential newsletter Developer Markepear and a thriving developer marketing Slack community.

tbh I have done a pretty good search on this topic, I couldn't find any. I thought maybe community could help me find one, if people like you (who works at neptune.ai) have the same opinion then it is what it is :). anyway thank you for the suggestions that you gave, probably gonna use that.

To get started with MLOps, you will need to have some foundational skills in Python, SQL, mathematics, and machine learning algorithms and libraries. You will also need to learn about databases, model deployment, continuous integration, continuous delivery, continuous monitoring, and other best practices of MLOps. You can find some useful resources for each of these topics in the following blogs on neptune.ai (disclosure: I work for Neptune):

Other companies followed the same route to promote their paid product, e.g. plotly -> dash, Pytorch Lightning -> Lightning AI, run.ai, neptune.ai . It's actually a fair strategy, but some people may fear the conflict of interest. Especially, when the tools require some time investment, and it seems like a serious vendor lock-in. Investing some time to learn a tool is not such a big deal, but once you adapt a workflow of an entire team it can be tough to go back.

track and compare your model performance visually. In addition, Neptune integration can be used.

I am working on a startup, I was wondering what people think are some gaps in current machine learning infrastructure solutions like WandB, or Neptune.ai.

I call it DaVinci. DaVinci uses Picovoice (https://picovoice.ai/) solutions for wake word and voice activity detection and for converting speech to text, Amazon Polly to convert its responses into a natural sounding voice, and OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 to do the heavy lifting. It’s all contained in about 300 lines of Python code.

Download pre-trained models: "Porcupine" from Porcupine Wake Word and Video Player Context from Rhino Speech-to-Intent repositories - You can also train a custom models on Picovoice Console.

Below are some useful resources: Open-source code Picovoice Platform SDK Picovoice website

Download the Porcupine model and turn the binary model into a base64 string.

Download Porcupine (i.e. Deep Neural Network). Run the following to turn the binary model into a base64 string, from the project folder.

Porcupine SDK Porcupine SDK is on GitHub. Find libraries for supported MCUs on the Porcupine GitHub repository. Arduino libraries are available via a specialized package manager offered by Arduino.

Looking for more? Explore other languages on the Picovoice Console and check out for fully-working demos with Porcupine on GitHub.

Don't forget to visit Porcupine's Wake Word's Github repository to see Python demos. If you want to do something similar to the video above, find the open-source codes here

I sometimes see the term "end-to-end", and it always passes right by my ears as marketing jargon. For example, there was a recent post today that linked to this page: https://picovoice.ai/, and you'll find the statement "... end-to-end platform for adding voice to anything on your terms". I did a quick Google search and it seems like the term is used in many different contexts (e.g., encryption, enterprise software for product development, etc.), but to be honest, I'm just not getting it. Maybe someone can explain here within the realm of embedded software? Could you provide some examples as well?
