Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a standard technique for grounding large language models in external knowledge — but the moment you move beyond plain text and start mixing in images and videos, the whole approach starts to buckle. Visual data is token-heavy, semantically sparse relative to a specific query, and grows unwieldy fast during multi-step

Emergence of fragility in LLM-based social networks: an interview with Francesco Bertolotti

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence, Uncategorized

What is the topic of the research in your paper? In our paper, we study how social structures emerge when the “individuals” in a network are artificial agents powered by large language models. To do so, we analyzed a platform called Moltbook – a social network entirely populated by AI agents, specifically LLM-based agents, that

Running powerful AI on your smartphone isn’t just a hardware problem — it’s a model architecture problem. Most state-of-the-art vision encoders are enormous, and when you trim them down to fit on an edge device, they lose the capabilities that made them useful in the first place. Worse, specialized models tend to excel at one
