Most LLM agents work well for short tool-calling loops but start to break down when the task becomes multi-step, stateful, and artifact-heavy. LangChain’s Deep Agents is designed for that gap. The project is described by LangChain as an ‘agent harness‘: a standalone library built on top of LangChain’s agent building blocks and powered by the

Why Document OCR Still Remains a Hard Engineering Problem? What does it take to make OCR useful for real documents instead of clean demo images? And can a compact multimodal model handle parsing, tables, formulas, and structured extraction without turning inference into a resource bonfire? That is the problem targeted by GLM-OCR, introduced by researchers

How to Build Type-Safe, Schema-Constrained, and Function-Driven LLM Pipelines Using Outlines and Pydantic

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence, Editors Pick, Large Language Model, Staff, Technology, Tutorials

In this tutorial, we build a workflow using Outlines to generate structured and type-safe outputs from language models. We work with typed constraints like Literal, int, and bool, and design prompt templates using outlines.Template, and enforce strict schema validation with Pydantic models. We also implement robust JSON recovery and a function-calling style that generates validated
