🔰 Python List Methods ✅

Sometimes reality outpaces expectations in the most unexpected ways.
While global AI development seems increasingly fragmented, Sber just released Europe's largest open-source AI collection—full weights, code, and commercial rights included.
✅ No API paywalls.
✅ No usage restrictions.
✅ Just four complete model families ready to run in your private infrastructure, fine-tuned on your data, serving your specific needs.

What makes this release remarkable isn't merely the technical prowess, but the quiet confidence behind sharing it openly when others are building walls. Find out more in the article from the developers.

GigaChat Ultra Preview: 702B-parameter MoE model (36B active per token) with 128K context window. Trained from scratch, it outperforms DeepSeek V3.1 on specialized benchmarks while maintaining faster inference than previous flagships. Enterprise-ready with offline fine-tuning for secure environments.

GigaChat Lightning offers the opposite balance: compact yet powerful MoE architecture running on your laptop. It competes with Qwen3-4B in quality, matches the speed of Qwen3-1.7B, yet is significantly smarter and larger in parameter count.
Lightning holds its own against the best open-source models in its class, outperforms comparable models on different tasks, and delivers ultra-fast inference—making it ideal for scenarios where Ultra would be overkill and speed is critical. Plus, it features stable expert routing and a welcome bonus: 256K context support.

Kandinsky 5.0 brings a significant step forward in open generative models. The flagship Video Pro matches Veo 3 in visual quality and outperforms Wan 2.2-A14B, while Video Lite and Image Lite offer fast, lightweight alternatives for real-time use cases. The suite is powered by K-VAE 1.0, a high-efficiency open-source visual encoder that enables strong compression and serves as a solid base for training generative models. This stack balances performance, scalability, and practicality—whether you're building video pipelines or experimenting with multimodal generation.

Audio gets its upgrade too: GigaAM-v3 delivers speech recognition model with 50% lower WER than Whisper-large-v3, trained on 700k hours of audio with punctuation/normalization for spontaneous speech.

Every model can be deployed on-premises, fine-tuned on your data, and used commercially. It's not just about catching up – it's about building sovereign AI infrastructure that belongs to everyone who needs it.

✅ Top Python Libraries for Data Analytics & AI 🧠📊

If you're working in data science, machine learning, or AI, these Python libraries are essential. Each one plays a specific role — from handling data to building deep learning models.

🔹 1. NumPy
Core library for numerical computations.
⦁ Supports arrays, matrices, and high-performance math functions.
⦁ Foundation for most other data libraries.
import numpy as np
a = np.array()
🔹 2. Pandas
Used for data manipulation and analysis.
⦁ Works with tabular data (DataFrames).
⦁ Easily read/write CSV, Excel, SQL, etc.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
🔹 3. Matplotlib & Seaborn
For data visualization.
⦁ Matplotlib: Custom plots (bar, line, scatter).
⦁ Seaborn: Statistical plots with better aesthetics.
import seaborn as sns
sns.histplot(df['age'])
🔹 4. Scikit-learn
Key ML library.
⦁ Algorithms: regression, classification, clustering.
⦁ Tools: model evaluation, pipelines.
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
model = LogisticRegression().fit(X, y)
🔹 5. TensorFlow & Keras
For deep learning and neural networks.
⦁ TensorFlow: Low-level control, scalable.
⦁ Keras: High-level API built on TensorFlow.
from tensorflow import keras
model = keras.Sequential([...])
🔹 6. PyTorch
An alternative deep learning framework (popular in research).
⦁ Dynamic computation graphs
⦁ Easy debugging
import torch
x = torch.tensor([1.0, 2.0])
🔹 7. OpenCV
Computer vision tasks (image processing, face detection, etc).
import cv2
img = cv2.imread("image.jpg")
🔹 8. NLTK / spaCy / Transformers
For Natural Language Processing (NLP).
⦁ NLTK: Text preprocessing
⦁ spaCy: Fast NLP pipelines
⦁ HuggingFace Transformers: Use BERT, GPT, etc.

🔹 9. Statsmodels
For statistical modeling & hypothesis testing.
import statsmodels.api as sm
model = sm.OLS(y, X).fit()
🔹 10. Plotly / Bokeh
For interactive data visualizations on the web.
⦁ Great for dashboards
⦁ Export as HTML

💡 Tip:
Start with NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn. Master those first — they're used in 90% of analytics work.

To start with Machine Learning:

   1. Learn Python
   2. Practice using Google Colab
   

Take these free courses:

https://news.1rj.ru/str/datasciencefun/290

If you need a bit more time before diving deeper, finish the Kaggle tutorials.

At this point, you are ready to finish your first project: The Titanic Challenge on Kaggle.

If Math is not your strong suit, don't worry. I don't recommend you spend too much time learning Math before writing code. Instead, learn the concepts on-demand: Find what you need when needed.

From here, take the Machine Learning specialization in Coursera. It's more advanced, and it will stretch you out a bit.

The top universities worldwide have published their Machine Learning and Deep Learning classes online. Here are some of them:

https://news.1rj.ru/str/datasciencefree/259

Many different books will help you. The attached image will give you an idea of my favorite ones.

Finally, keep these three ideas in mind:

1. Start by working on solved problems so you can find help whenever you get stuck.
2. ChatGPT will help you make progress. Use it to summarize complex concepts and generate questions you can answer to practice.
3. Find a community on LinkedIn or 𝕏 and share your work. Ask questions, and help others.

During this time, you'll deal with a lot. Sometimes, you will feel it's impossible to keep up with everything happening, and you'll be right.

Here is the good news:

Most people understand a tiny fraction of the world of Machine Learning. You don't need more to build a fantastic career in space.

Focus on finding your path, and Write. More. Code.

That's how you win.✌️✌️

✅ Top Python Interview Questions with Answers: Part-1 🧠

1. What are Python’s key features?
• Interpreted: No need for compilation, runs line-by-line
• Dynamic Typing: No need to declare variable types
• High-Level Language: Easy to read and write
• Object-Oriented: Supports classes and objects
• Extensive Libraries: Huge standard and third-party modules
• Portable Open Source: Runs across platforms and is free

2. Difference between list, tuple, and set
• List: Ordered, mutable, allows duplicates → [1, 2, 3]
• Tuple: Ordered, immutable, allows duplicates → (1, 2, 3)
• Set: Unordered, mutable, no duplicates → {1, 2, 3}

3. What is PEP8? Why is it important?
PEP8 is Python’s official style guide.
It improves code readability, promotes consistency, and helps with collaboration.

4. What are Python data types?
• Numeric: int, float, complex
• Text: str
• Boolean: bool
• Sequence: list, tuple, range
• Set: set, frozenset
• Mapping: dict
• Binary: bytes, bytearray

5. Mutable vs Immutable objects
• Mutable: Can be changed → list, dict, set
• Immutable: Cannot be changed → int, str, tuple
Example:

x = [1, 2]; x[0] = 0  # Mutable  
y = "hi"; y[0] = 'H'  # Error – Immutable

6. What is list comprehension?
A concise way to create lists.

squares = [x**2 for x in range(5)]

7. Difference between is and ==
• == compares values
• is compares object identity

a = [1]; b = [1]  
a == b  # True  
a is b  # False

8. What are Python decorators?
Functions that modify other functions without changing their actual code.

def decorator(func):  
    def wrapper():  
        print("Before")  
        func()  
        print("After")  
    return wrapper

9. Explain *args and kwargs**
• args → variable number of positional arguments (tuple)
• kwargs → variable number of keyword arguments (dict)

def test(*args, **kwargs):  
    print(args, kwargs)

10. What is a lambda function?
A small, anonymous function using the lambda keyword.

square = lambda x: x * x  
print(square(5))  # Output: 25
