Meet Talkie-1930: A 13B Open-Weight LLM Trained on Pre-1931 English Text for Historical Reasoning and Generalization Research

What if a language model had never heard of the internet, smartphones, or even World War II? That’s not a hypothetical — it’s exactly what a team of researchers led by Nick Levine, David Duvenaud, and Alec Radford has built. They call it talkie, and it may be the most historically disciplined large language model […]

Build a Reinforcement Learning Powered Agent that Learns to Retrieve Relevant Long-Term Memories for Accurate LLM Question Answering

In this tutorial, we build a Reinforcement Learning–driven agent that learns how to retrieve relevant memories from a long-term memory bank. We start by constructing a synthetic memory dataset and generating queries that require the agent to recall specific information. Using OpenAI embeddings, we convert both memories and queries into vector representations, enabling similarity signals

OpenMOSS Releases MOSS-Audio: An Open-Source Foundation Model for Speech, Sound, Music, and Time-Aware Audio Reasoning

Understanding what’s happening in an audio clip is a deceptively hard problem. Transcribing spoken words is the easy part. A truly capable system also needs to recognize who is speaking, detect their emotional state, interpret background sounds, analyze musical content, and answer time-grounded questions like ‘what did the speaker say at the 2-minute mark?’. Tackling

Meta AI Releases Sapiens2: A High-Resolution Human-Centric Vision Model for Pose, Segmentation, Normals, Pointmap, and Albedo

If you’ve ever watched a motion capture system struggle with a person’s fingers, or seen a segmentation model fail to distinguish teeth from gums, you already understand why human-centric computer vision is hard. Humans are not just objects, they come with articulated structure, fine surface details, and enormous variation in pose, clothing, lighting, and ethnicity.

How to Build a Fully Searchable AI Knowledge Base with OpenKB, OpenRouter, and Llama

In this tutorial, we explore how to build and query a local knowledge base with OpenKB using a free, open model via OpenRouter. We securely retrieve the API key with getpass, set up the environment without hardcoding secrets, and initialize a structured, wiki-style knowledge base from scratch. As we move through the workflow, we add

How to Build Smarter Multilingual Text Wrapping with BudouX Through Parsing, HTML Rendering, Model Introspection, and Toy Training

In this tutorial, we explore how we use BudouX to bring intelligent, phrase-aware line breaking to languages where whitespace is not naturally present, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Thai. We begin by setting up the library and working with its default parsers to understand how raw text is segmented into meaningful chunks. We then move

Top 7 Benchmarks That Actually Matter for Agentic Reasoning in Large Language Models

As AI agents move from research demos to production deployments, one question has become impossible to ignore: how do you actually know if an agent is good? Perplexity scores and MMLU leaderboard numbers tell you very little about whether a model can navigate a real website, resolve a GitHub issue, or reliably handle a customer

RAG Without Vectors: How PageIndex Retrieves by Reasoning

Retrieval is where most RAG systems quietly break. Traditional pipelines rely on vector similarity—embedding queries and document chunks into the same space and fetching the “closest” matches. But similarity is a weak proxy for what we actually need: relevance grounded in reasoning. In long, professional documents—like financial reports, research papers, or legal texts—the right answer

A Coding Tutorial on Datashader on Rendering Massive Datasets with High-Performance Python Visual Analytics

In this tutorial, we explore Datashader, a powerful, high-performance visualization library for rendering massive datasets that quickly overwhelm traditional plotting tools. We work through its full rendering pipeline in Google Colab, starting from dense point clouds and reduction-based aggregations to categorical rendering, line visualizations, raster data, quadmesh grids, compositing, and dashboard-style analytical views. As we

A Coding Implementation on kvcached for Elastic KV Cache Memory, Bursty LLM Serving, and Multi-Model GPU Sharing

In this tutorial, we explore kvcached, a dynamic KV-cache implementation on top of vLLM, to understand how dynamic KV-cache allocation transforms GPU memory usage for large language models. We begin by setting up the environment and deploying lightweight Qwen2.5 models through an OpenAI-compatible API, ensuring a realistic inference workflow. We then design controlled experiments where
