A 19 August 2026 post sets the plan: document building software, experimenting with AI and learning new things along the way. The channel shows its work, like a house price model trained on 200k+ data points, and ran an ask-me-anything in late August. It also reacts to new AI model releases, cheers on Ethiopia's AI scene and logs focus sessions under #lockinmaxxingg.

    Ask me anything night

    On 27 August the channel opens the floor for an ask-me-anything on tech, projects and life. Answers cover a custom local agent called Lira and a goal of building something that actually helps people, before it signs off promising another round at 200.

    Eyes on the AI scene

    Late August turns outward: a heads-up on Google's Africa Applied AI Lab 2026, then "Just submitted my application" a day later. September brings cheers for the Fable 5.1 release and for a podcast with Biniyam, "an OG in Ethiopia's AI space".
