Jacob Keiter | BSAN 765 - AI for Business | Spring 2026 | May 15, 2026
This essay is structured as a six-article blog series covering what I actually learned in BSAN 765 over the Spring 2026 semester. Each article stands alone and is intended to be readable by a peer who has not taken the course. They share an arc: from "what is inside the model" through "what do we wrap around the model" to "what did I learn when we shipped one." The applied piece in Article 6 draws on Group 6's parking-occupancy project, which used Google's Gemma 4 31B multimodal model running locally via LM Studio on an RTX 5090 against the Kaggle PKLot dataset.
