Large language models (LLMs) have recently been enhanced through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which dynamically integrates external knowledge sources to improve response quality for open-domain questions and specialized tasks. However, RAG systems face several significant challenges that limit their effectiveness. The real-time retrieval process introduces latency in response generation, while document selection and ranking errors can… Read more

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) seeks to create systems that can perform various tasks, reasoning, and learning with human-like adaptability. Unlike narrow AI, AGI aspires to generalize its capabilities across multiple domains, enabling machines to operate in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Achieving this requires combining sensory perception, abstract reasoning, and decision-making with a robust memory and… Read more

Analysts predict that demand for engineers will skyrocket during the next decade, and that the supply will fall substantially short. A Comptia report about the tech workforce estimates that there will be an additional 7.1 million tech jobs in the United States by 2034. Yet nearly one in three engineering jobs will go unfilled each… Read more

In early January, soil moisture in much of Southern California was in the bottom 2 percent of historical records. Read more

The arrival of La Niña is starving California of rain, and more high Santa Ana winds could be on the way. Read more

Agents are the hottest thing in tech right now. Top firms from Google DeepMind to OpenAI to Anthropic are racing to augment large language models with the ability to carry out tasks by themselves. Known as agentic AI in industry jargon, such systems have fast become the new target of Silicon Valley buzz. Everyone from… Read more
