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…

The discovery, from Zvejnieki cemetery in northern Latvia, one of the largest Stone Age burial sites in Europe, challenges the idea that stone tools were strictly…
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. But new research published in Physical Review Letters by physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has found a more than 90% probability that one of these…
A billion dollars isn’t what it used to be—but it still focuses the mind. At least it did for me when I heard that the AI company Anthropic agreed to an at least $1.5 billion settlement for authors and publishers whose books were used to train an early version of its large language model, Claude….
