GUEST OPINION:  Agentic AI "systems of automation" will transform static business operations into dynamic, context-aware, autonomous systems. 

GUEST OPINION:  In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced, and one of the key innovations to emerge is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). This technology transforms how large language models (LLMs) are applied to real-world tasks, offering a significant improvement over traditional AI systems that rely solely on static data. While LLMs are impressive in their ability to generate human-like text, they often suffer from limitations, particularly regarding the accuracy of their outputs. RAG addresses these challenges, making AI more reliable and applicable to business use cases that require precision.

COMPANY NEWS: Data preparation and ingestion is one of the biggest challenges when building a genAI application. Developers are faced with converting massive amounts of existing data, in different formats, into a format suitable for use in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Often these documents are too large for embedding models to ingest and must be broken up into smaller segments or chunked.

COMPANY NEWS: DataStax, the AI platform company, today announced major updates to its generative AI development platform that help make retrieval augmented generation (RAG) powered application development 100x faster. DataStax will demo its newly released updates at the RAG++ event in San Francisco with partners including LangChain, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Unstructured, among others.
