Automate advanced agentic RAG pipeline with Amazon SageMaker AI
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a fundamental approach for building advanced generative AI applications that connect large language models (LLMs) to enterprise knowledge. However, crafting a reliable RAG pipeline is rarely a one-shot process. Teams often need to test dozens of configurations (varying chunking strategies, embedding models, retrieval techniques, and prompt designs) before arriving at…

Black hole explosion could change everything we know about the Universe
Physicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such explosions happen — at most — only once every 100,000 years.
