Living in the Azure, OpenAI, AWS, GCP world can sometimes feel isolated from what's happening out there in AI open source world. What are people using nowadays for LLMs / Vector stores / Orchestration frameworks etc outside of the cloud vendor offerings?.

What a fascinating episode from @MLStreetTalk on Embodied AI with Noumenal's Dr. Maxwell Ramstead and Jason Fox. They describe a different paradigm from today's transformer-based AI systems, one that moves from fractured representations or 'knowledge' stored in billions of.

Document Chunking is about breaking content into smaller, manageable pieces for better retrieval while preserving context. Here are a few techniques to consider:.1. Token or Character based Chunking. - Only use when structure or layout of a document is not important.2.

Let's do some RAG together:. The six underlying pillars of RAG are:.- Document Chunking.- Chunk Enrichment.- Chunk Embedding and indexing.- Retrieval.- Results Re-ranking.- Response Generation.

How do people find the courage to write and publish hardcover technical books on AI these days? . Given how fast AI tech is changing, doesn't any content become obsolete by the time the book is published?.

Is it me or are contact center human agents trying to sound like AIs these days?.

I'm not really feeling the new Netflix UI, and X just got ten times more entertaining with the new @elonmusk / @realDonaldTrump saga. 🍿🍿🍿.

Grok on Azure 🙂.

Everyone's having a go now at transformers not being IT for AGI. Fair. Same people asking for a paradigm shift. - Easy! . Yet to see a strong proposal for what that new paradigm shift should be. - Hard! <--- Focus should be here, not verbal bashing LLMs.
