Survival Analysis for Data Drift and ML Reliability
Treating model degradation as a time-to-failure problem
The post Survival Analysis for Data Drift and ML Reliability appeared first on Towards Data Science.
In June 2026, Google introduced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF), an open specification for how AI agents organise and exchange knowledge. An OKF bundle is just Markdown files, lightweight YAML metadata, and links between concepts, yet it challenges the assumption that every AI application needs embe...
5 Ways Small Language Models Are Powering Next-Gen Agents
This article looks at five concrete ways SLMs are showing up inside next-generation agents right now, from the research backing them to the tools and numbers worth knowing if you're deciding whether your next agent needs a frontier model at all
Best-worst comparisons, MaxDiff-style judging, and Plackett-Luce utility scores give agent teams a cleaner way to decide which configs to ship, prune, and route toward next.

Modern VLMs Explained: How GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude Vision, and Qwen-VL Work
Vision Language Models, or VLMs, are AI models that can understand both visual content and language. While earlier models like CLIP and BLIP connected images with text, modern VLMs can analyze images, read documents, interpret charts, answer visual questions, and support multimodal conversations. Mo...

Stop Returning Text from RAG: The Typed Answer Contract That Prevents Hallucination
Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #8A] - The schema is the contract: every field is a question the pipeline asks the model, and every answer is checkable

LLM Wikis Are Over-Engineered — I Replaced Mine With a Pure Python Compiler
Most "LLM wikis" use agents, embeddings, and repeated model calls to organize local notes. I built a deterministic alternative: a pure Python compiler that turns messy markdown into a linked, linted wiki using only the standard library. Along the way, I fixed two real bugs, benchmarked the pipeline ...
LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, Mastra, and more. If you're building AI agents in 2026, these are the frameworks worth paying attention to before starting your next project.
t0-alpha is a decoder-style patch transformer for probabilistic time-series forecasting. Raw series are split into 32-step patches, embedded, processed through causal time-attention and group-attention layers, and decoded into future quantiles rather than a single point forecast.

Persistent Latent Memory for Multi-Hop LLM Agents: How a 6G Handover Paper Closes the Agent Cold-Start
Every hand-off in your multi-agent pipeline is an expensive tokenization round-trip. Discover how Inductive Latent Context Persistence (ILCP) transfers a compressed hidden state so downstream agents never have to re-create the same context.

Context Engineering for RAG : The Four Typed Inputs Behind Every RAG Answer
Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #7bis] - Tobi Lütke and Andrej Karpathy named the practice in 2025. For a single document, each brick emits typed pieces that converge on one LLM call. Corpus, conversation, and tool extensions are follow-up work
