A Coding Implementation to Automating LLM Quality Assurance with DeepEval, Custom Retrievers, and LLM-as-a-Judge Metrics
We initiate this tutorial by configuring a high-performance evaluation environment, specifically focused on integrating the DeepEval framework to bring unit-testing rigor to our LLM applications. By bridging the gap between raw retrieval and final generation, we implement a system that treats model ...
Quiet Revolutions in AI: Unsung Innovators Building Practical, Local Solutions Beyond Silicon Valley
Small teams, community labs, and regionally focused platforms are quietly building practical, deployable AI that solves everyday problems—health screening, local‑language NLP, supply‑chain reliability and farm mechanization—yet these advances rarely make global headlines. This article spotlights tho...
Researchers tested AI against 100,000 humans on creativity
A massive new study comparing more than 100,000 people with today’s most advanced AI systems delivers a surprising result: generative AI can now beat the average human on certain creativity tests.

How UX Research Methods Reveal Hidden AI Orchestration Failures in Enterprise Collaboration Agents
I have spent the last several years watching enterprise collaboration tools get smarter. Join a video call today, and there’s a good chance five or six AI agents are running simultaneously: transcription, speaker identification, captions, summarization, task extraction. On the product side of it, ea...
We live in a world where answers are instant. AI copilots, search engines, short videos, and interactive courses can explain almost anything in minutes. Information is no longer scarce. What is scarce is depth, clarity, and the ability to connect ideas into sound decisions. That is where books still...
Legal AI giant Harvey acquires Hexus as competition heats up in legal tech

How an AI Agent Chooses What to Do Under Tokens, Latency, and Tool-Call Budget Constraints?
In this tutorial, we build a cost-aware planning agent that deliberately balances output quality against real-world constraints such as token usage, latency, and tool-call budgets. We design the agent to generate multiple candidate actions, estimate their expected costs and benefits, and then select...
