Quantitative hack, PyMC Labs
This is going to be great. Don't miss it if you happen to be at OSDC AI West!
This week at @odsc.bsky.social AI West 2025, we're hosting a hands-on #PyTensor tutorial!
Learn how the computational graph library powering #PyMC makes probabilistic models scalable & efficient, supports complex inference, and drives real-world AI decisions.
See you there!
