Building a Multimodal RAG Pipeline with NVIDIA NeMo Retriever, Hosted NIMs, LanceDB, Reranking, and Grounded Generation

In this tutorial, we build an advanced multimodal retrieval-augmented generation pipeline with NVIDIA NeMo Retriever. We begin by configuring a Python 3.12 environment, installing the required packages, and performing offline PDF text extraction without relying on a GPU or external API key. We then extend the workflow with hosted NVIDIA NIM endpoints to detect page […]

NVIDIA AI Releases NOOA: An Object-Oriented Python Framework That Turns an AI Agent Into a Single Python Class

NVIDIA Labs has open-sourced NOOA (NVIDIA Object-Oriented Agents), a model-agnostic Python framework for building AI agents. Agent development today is split across prompt templates, tool schemas, callback code, and workflow graphs. NOOA collapses all of it into one Python class. Methods are the actions the model can take. Fields are agent state. Docstrings are prompts.

Microsoft Open Sources code-testing-generator: a Polyglot Unit-Test Agent That Hits 92.1% Task Completion Versus 78.9% for Stock Copilot

Microsoft has open sourced code-testing-generator, a polyglot agent that writes unit tests and then proves they work. It ships in the dotnet-test plugin inside the MIT-licensed dotnet/skills repository. The agent targets a gap that coding assistants usually leave open. A prompt like ‘generate unit tests’ does not say which framework, file location or assertions to

Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-2.6B: An On-Device Agentic Model With 128K Context, Tool Calling, And Open Weights

Liquid AI released LFM2.5-2.6B, an agentic model that runs entirely on-device. It plans, calls tools, and works through multi-step tasks on phones, laptops, PCs, and robots. The model has 2.69B total parameters, a 131,072-token context window, and a 128,000-token vocabulary. Pre-training used approximately 34 trillion tokens. Two checkpoints shipped: LFM2.5-2.6B-Base for fine-tuning, and LFM2.5-2.6B post-trained

Cloudflare Introduces Kitesurf: An Agent-First Web Browser That Runs Entirely in V8 Isolates on Cloudflare Workers

Cloudflare has released Kitesurf, a stateless web browser built specifically for AI agents. It runs entirely in V8 isolates on Cloudflare Workers, with no Chromium underneath. Browser engines like Chromium were built for humans, and their memory and compute overhead makes one-browser-per-agent prohibitively expensive. Agents do not need tabs, extensions, or pixel-perfect 60-fps rendering. They

Adaptive Experimentation with Meta’s Ax: A Practical Coding Guide

In this tutorial, we explore adaptive experimentation using Meta’s Ax with the modern Client API. We work through a complete workflow where we tune a RandomForest model on a synthetic classification dataset while balancing predictive accuracy against model footprint. We begin by defining a mixed search space with integer, float, log-scaled, and categorical parameters, then

Prime Intellect Releases Prime Agent: An Open-Source RLM Harness Where Sub-Agents Are Function Calls Inside Persistent IPython Kernel

Prime Intellect has open-sourced Prime Agent, a self-improving coding harness designed around two abstractions, the Recursive Language Model (RLM) and Continual Harness. Fixed tool schemas and context compaction force a model to work around its own scaffolding. Prime Agent replaces both with a persistent Python REPL and a rewritable harness. With Opus 5, it reports

Microsoft’s SkillOpt Shows Optimized Agent Skill Artifacts Transfer Across Model Scales and Between Codex and Claude Code Harnesses

SkillOpt is a text-space optimizer developed by a team of researchers from Microsoft, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Tongji University, and Fudan University. SkillOpt trains a single natural-language skill document while the target model stays frozen. An optimizer model reads scored rollouts and proposes bounded add/delete/replace edits. A held-out selection split accepts an edit only when

End-to-End Bayesian Marketing Mix Modeling with Google Meridian: Media Measurement, ROI Analysis, and Budget Optimization

In this tutorial, we build a complete Bayesian marketing mix modeling workflow using Google Meridian. We begin by installing the required libraries, verifying GPU availability, and exploring a geo-level marketing dataset that includes media impressions, spend, controls, promotions, conversions, population, and revenue. We then map the raw columns to Meridian’s data schema, define interpretable ROI-based

Meta AI Releases Muse Code (Beta): A Terminal Coding Agent Powered by the New Muse Spark 1.2 Model

Meta AI has released Muse Code (in beta), a terminal coding agent in beta, powered by its new Muse Spark 1.2 model. Meta positions the pair as its next step toward the frontier, with larger models on the way. Muse Code targets complex software engineering across large repositories: it plans changes, writes code, and validates
