Really proud of this work, check it out if you're curious about the problems one typically encounters with shipping RAG solutions to production in an enterprise setting!

AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can reliably access, and the latest release of our Agents SDK makes it easy to connect to MCP servers. We've prepared a quick guide where we bootstrap a minimal MCP-powered chat agent with just a few lines of code: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/build-m...

In our latest blog post, we covered how we use RAGElo, an open-source toolkit we've developed internally in Zeta Alpha, to compare multiple RAG systems head-to-head and aggregate pairwise preferences into a robust, easy-to-interpret Elo ranking. Check it out: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/robust-...

A deep dive into the Gemini Embedding technical report - turns out you don't need any fancy training objectives or architectural tweaks to get SOTA on MMTEB, just a solid base model and high quality data!

Wrote a little blog piece on reasoning models as a summary of our latest webinar episode, feel free to share with your non-terminally online friends who want a gentle intro to catch up and what they mean for overall AI capabilities!

The whole world is buzzing with the performance of DeepSeek’s reasoning model, R1, and its implications for the dominance of Western tech companies in the AGI race. But what exactly are reasoning models? Did anyone see them coming? And how can they be used to create value?

the real reason we don't have agi yet is that uv's documentation isn't in the llms' training data

spent the day reading the OpenScholar and Tülu 3 papers in detail. AI2 x UW has been on fire lately, this is what real “Open AI” looks like 😉. big thanks to both author teams for such thorough and well-crafted work.

as sad as it is, today's meltdown over the use of an open API is probably a solid clue why the e/acc part of twitter hasn't moved here

one thing i enjoy on this platform is the absence of a****ic rag posts (and i know this won't last)

I don't see how the "needle in the haystack" benchmark is an indicator of how models handle long context with *relevant* information (& why it's so popular). All it tests for is how well they can ignore noise and spot outliers, while most real use cases are about effectively using *all* context.

Benchmark results of the Qwen2.5-Turbo model on the "Needle in the Haystack" problem. The model gets 100% retrieval accuracy regardless of document depth or context length.
