One Less Database: Running RAG Search Inside Oracle 23ai
Every RAG tutorial starts the same way: spin up a Pinecone index, generate some embeddings, wire it into LangChain, and call it a day. That's exactly what I did for a customer-support search tool I built last year until I realized I was paying to sync data between two...
AI Gateway for Architecture Leaders: A 2026 Guide
Picture a support agent in production. It receives a user message, calls an internal knowledge base, decides it needs account data, calls a second tool, then drafts a reply and sends it. Five model and tool calls, start to finish, in about two seconds. Now picture a...
We Ran 35 Controlled Experiments on “Exotic Algebra” Neural Networks. They’re a Placebo.
TL;DR: Quaternion, octonion, sedenion, and Clifford-algebra neural networks keep appearing in the literature with claims of parameter efficiency and special expressivity. We spent two months building them, benchmarking them — and honestly trying to make them win....
