RAG functions getting replaced by agentic AI

 As we’ve built the Retrieval services in LlamaCloud, we’ve chosen to abstract a few of these techniques into our API, only exposing a few top-level hyper-parameters for controlling these algorithms. In this blog post, we will showcase these various techniques, explaining how and when to use them. We will build upon these techniques one by one and end with a fully agentic retrieval system that can intelligently query multiple knowledge bases at once.

Beyond Google: The Best Alternative Search Engines for Academic and Scientific Research

Google may be the most popular search engine, but it isn’t always the best for academic and scientific research. Many valuable scholarly resources are buried under commercial results or hidden behind paywalls. Fortunately, there are specialized search engines designed to help researchers, students, and professionals find high-quality, peer-reviewed content. Here’s a selection of the best alternatives to Google, focusing on science, technology, medicine, and economics. 1. RefSeek ( www.refseek.com ) Best for: General academic research. RefSeek indexes over a billion documents, including research papers, encyclopedias, and books. Unlike Google, it prioritizes educational content and filters out commercial websites. 2. WorldCat ( www.worldcat.org ) Best for: Finding books and research materials in libraries worldwide. WorldCat allows users to search for books, articles, and historical archives in over 20,000 libraries. It’s ideal for tracking down rare or specialized academic ma...

LLM-based systems- Comparison of FFN Fusion with Other Approaches

  Comparison of FFN Fusion with Other Approaches & Suitable Use Cases FFN Fusion (NVIDIA) FFN Fusion optimizes transformers by identifying feed-forward layers that can be executed in parallel. By analyzing dependencies and fusing low-interaction FFN layers, it achieves significant reductions in inference latency and computational cost. Unlike traditional techniques that modify numerical precision or prune parameters, this approach restructures the model while preserving accuracy. Best Use Cases High-throughput AI applications : Ideal for AI assistants, chatbots, and large-scale LLM-based systems that need rapid multi-token generation. Enterprise-level LLM deployments : Works well where cost efficiency is important without compromising model performance. Real-time scientific research tools : Can enhance inference speed in AI-driven analytics, simulations, and predictive modeling. Quantization Quantization reduces the precision of numerical calculations (e.g., from 32-...
