Lately , it's fascinating how often clients seek validation instead of genuine transformation. Consultants don't have magic wands. Rather, the process is the real catalyst for change. #TrustTheProcess is the bridge between current challenges and potential breakthroughs.

VISA: Retrieval Augmented Generation with Visual Source Attribution Very cool work! We will see more in this direction in the future! End to end pipelines using VLMs.

Totally loved it ❤️ Make sure you check out yours !

Here is my view on the “Rise-n-Fall” of vector DBs: no, I don’t think the category has fallen. But how to choose? This is my guide. dmitry-kan.medium.com/the-rise-fall-… .Doug Turnbull Bob van Luijt Andre Zayarni atitaarora 𝚂𝚊𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚋𝚑 𝚁𝚊𝚒 ✦ Leo Boytsov Daniel Svonava Pat Lasserre, Aarne Talman

been thinking about writing a blog post about this. my take is that it’s a mess of the following: - if the goal is to minimize the time to working prototype, the framework will try to pydantic-ify or dataclass-ify everything (eg decorators for tools, memory objects) - validation

Among #agents buzz , this looks like another trend a lot of LLM companies been following - have already heard about Meta and Perplexity doing something similar too.

Hugging face released a course on agents!

From Jira to Real Life , had an absolute blast meeting Richard Zowalla and Martin Weisner from Apache OpenNLP 🙌

This felt relatable and with a very positive message! Thank you for the reminder and penning this one down Ben Clavié

😅😅

Been trying to justify why evals take longer even with the tools and looks like we have a damn good written validation! Thanks 😊

Over the last 2 yrs, I've helped 35+ companies improve their AI products. I distilled my approach into this guide, which covers error analysis, synthetic data, eval-human alignment, involving domain experts, optimizing # of experiments & more (1/5) hamel.dev/blog/posts/fie…

I love search conferences, but couldn't find a list of them all - so I made a Calendar! Check it out at thesearchjuggler.com/conferences/ - you can filter by type and even find the ones I'm attending myself! Please share, subscribe (and submit more events)

Indeed ! We test on text data while real-world info retrieval demands handling diverse unstructured content. We haven't even solved text retrieval properly, yet our evaluation metrics keep showing "progress." The gap between benchmarks and actual use cases has never been wider.

Is it my lucky day? 🙃

keep this off your AI girlfriend

Solid ! Great talk Nandan Thakur and thanks Hamel Husain for 'Tech talk as email' drive ! Lovin' it !

It's such a refreshing experience attending Esri User Conference , I am amazed how gender balanced is the speakers' pool , for every male speaker, there are 1 or even 2 female speakers!! Lovin' it😍
