A “working” AI Workbench project isn’t the same as a usable one.
Part 2 of my DGX Spark series covers the path from a validated container to a real training environment, including why Jupyter and package management silently failed. 👉 https://blog.brianbaldock.net/learning-fine-tuning-on-nvidia-dgx-spark-part-2

Part 2 focuses entirely on fixing the environment, not training yet.
Fine-tuning starts in the next post now that Workbench is finally usable.

Before you can fine-tune anything on DGX Spark, you have to get the platform right. Part 1 of my blog post walks through AI Workbench, PyTorch, 👇 CUDA, and the things that break early on Blackwell. 👉 https://blog.brianbaldock.net/learning-fine-tuning-on-nvidia-dgx-spark-part-1

This is Part 1 of a longer series.
Next up: actually fine-tuning models on DGX Spark, including LoRA and QLoRA tradeoffs once the platform is stable.

New blog post. If you are on Windows and juggling different Python versions, this little PyEnv plus PowerShell trick might help you out. It is simple, clean, and keeps VS Code happy.

It’s been about a month since I published the LightningCopilot guide, integrating Microsoft Copilot Studio Agents into Salesforce Lightning with Entra ID SSO and MSAL.

What’s interesting is how many teams I've talked to saying they hit the same blockers:
🔹 Entra ID redirect mismatches
🔹 Power Platform API confusion
🔹 CSP and Locker issues in Salesforce

The takeaway? These integrations aren’t just technical, they’re architectural!

The AI space is finally shifting from single, siloed copilots to connected ecosystems.
Microsoft just launched Magentic, a marketplace where AI agents can collaborate, automate, and scale across industries.
