The fittest founder in the room got cancer. Here’s how he used AI to fight back.
When confronted with cancer, Connor Christou fed everything tied tied to his regime — blood results, scan data, wearable output, journal entries — into Claude.
Get smart on it
A founder diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma used AI tools to help navigate his cancer treatment by feeding his medical data, scan results, and symptom logs into a chatbot. When faced with conflicting recommendations from oncologists and an ambiguous final scan result, he consulted the AI model alongside gathering multiple medical opinions to inform his decisions. Experts caution that general-purpose chatbots are frequently wrong and not thoroughly evaluated for personalized diagnoses, though the founder notes the AI helped him ask better questions rather than replace his doctors. The case illustrates both the potential and limitations of using AI for medical guidance, particularly for rare conditions where individual doctors may have limited experience.

Building Supervised Fine-Tuning Data from NVIDIA Open-SWE-Traces: Trajectory Parsing, Patch Analysis, Token Budgets, and Tool-Use Metrics
In this tutorial, we explore the Open-SWE-Traces dataset as a practical resource for studying and preparing agentic software-engineering trajectories for fine-tuning. We stream the dataset directly from Hugging Face, so we can work with a large dataset efficiently in Google Colab without downloading everything locally. We inspect individual records, normalize multi-turn agent conversations, parse final code patches, extract useful metadata, and build an analysis DataFrame to understand trajecto
