instead of scrolling x, study this free course packed with INSANE value
Jason Liu just open sourced his entire paid RAG course and consulting archive. all of it. free.
for context: this is the creator of Instructor (6M+ monthly downloads, cited by OpenAI as inspiration for their structured outputs feature). former staff ML engineer at Stitch Fix. ex-Meta. a16z scout. his RAG course on Maven had 400+ engineers enrolled.
but here's what's actually interesting.
look at the highlights he chose to summarize his own course:
> product mindset over one-off implementation
> measurement, feedback loops, improvement cycles first
> synthetic eval data to break the cold start
> feedback UX that actually works
> specialized retrieval and routing instead of one-size-fits-all search
notice what's missing?
no mention of vector databases. no embedding model comparisons. no chunk size optimization. no retrieval framework shootouts.
the guy who mass-taught production RAG to hundreds of engineers is telling you the hard part was never the retrieval. it was the product thinking around it.
measurement. feedback loops. knowing what to improve and how to tell if you improved it.
everyone's out here debating pgvector vs pinecone vs weaviate. meanwhile the most credible RAG practitioner in the space just told you the answer was never in the vector store.
it was in the feedback UX.
567 Labs is done. the content lives on. go read it before you build another RAG pipeline without an eval framework. tweet

RT @CapitalValor: GOLD MINERS
Reality is we've been lucky riding the wave, partly fuelled by Chinese ultra-speculative money
6x - 9x CF at $5k/oz is not cheap... I'd perhaps pay this on 3.5k.
I am out of the producing miner space and give thanks.

RT @omarsar0: NEW research from Meta Superintelligence Labs.
It uses a clever strategy-auction framework to improve self-improving agents on complex tasks.
Small agents aren't always enough.
On the simplest tasks, a 4B parameter agent attains 87% of a 32B agent's performance. But on the most complex tasks, that relative performance drops to just 21%.
The default assumption today is that you either use the biggest model for everything or route tasks with a trained classifier.
But trained routers degrade as task difficulty increases, and non-predictive cascades become prohibitively expensive for agentic workloads.
This new research introduces SALE (Strategy Auctions for Workload Efficiency), a framework inspired by freelancer marketplaces. Instead of predicting which model to use from a task description alone, agents bid with short strategic plans that are scored by a systematic cost-value mechanism.
How does the auction work? Each candidate agent proposes a strategic solution plan. A peer jury scores plans by predicted value. A heuristic cost predictor estimates execution cost. The agent with the best cost-value trade-off wins and executes its plan.
The self-improvement mechanism is where it gets interesting. After each auction, all proposed strategies are stored in a shared memory bank. Cheaper agents that lost can learn from winning strategies and submit refined bids, analogous to freelancers upskilling over time.
On deep search tasks, SALE exceeds the best single agent's pass@1 by 3.5 points while reducing cost by 35%. On coding tasks, it improves pass@1 by 2.7 points at 25% lower cost. Across both domains, SALE reduces reliance on the largest agent by 53%.
Existing routers like WTP and FrugalGPT either underperform the largest agent or fail to reduce cost. FrugalGPT's costs actually increase on complex coding tasks, reaching 0.61 dollars per million tokens versus the best agent's 0.36 dollars.
Market-inspired coordination mechanisms that organize heterogeneous agents into adaptive ecosystems can systematically outperform both single large models and trained routing approaches.

// Agent Primitives //
This is a really interesting take on building effective multi-agent systems.
Multi-agent systems get more complex as tasks get harder. More roles, more prompts, more bespoke interaction patterns. However, the core computation patterns keep repeating across every system: review, vote, plan, execute.
But nobody treats these patterns as reusable building blocks.
This new research introduces Agent Primitives, a set of latent building blocks for constructing effective multi-agent systems.
Inspired by how neural networks are built from reusable components like residual blocks and attention heads, the researchers decompose multi-agent architectures into three recurring primitives: Review, Voting and Selection, and Planning and Execution.
What makes these primitives different? Agents inside each primitive communicate via KV-cache rather than natural language. This avoids the information degradation that happens when agents pass long text messages back and forth across multi-stage interactions.
An Organizer agent selects and composes primitives for each query, guided by a lightweight knowledge pool of previously successful configurations.
No manual system design required.
The results across eight benchmarks spanning math, code generation, and QA with five open-source LLMs:
> Primitives-based MAS improve average accuracy by 12.0-16.5% over single-agent baselines
> On GPQA-Diamond, the improvement is striking, 53.2% versus the 33.6-40.2% range of prior methods like AgentVerse, DyLAN, and MAS-GPT
In terms of efficiency, token usage and inference latency drop by approximately 3-4x compared to text-based MAS, while incurring only 1.3-1.6x overhead relative to single-agent inference.
Instead of designing task-specific multi-agent architectures from scratch, Agent Primitives show that a small set of reusable computation patterns with latent communication can match or exceed custom systems while being dramatically more efficient.

NVIDIA AND DASSAULT JUST ANNOUNCED THEIR BIGGEST PARTNERSHIP EVER
Jensen: "This is the largest collaboration our two companies have ever had in over a quarter century.
Dassault is integrating Nvidia Cuda X acceleration libraries, Nvidia AI, and Nvidia Omniverse into their platform.
This represents our body of work over 25 years. Now we're fusing it so you can work at a scale 100 times, 1000 times, and very soon a million times greater than before.
What used to be pre-rendered or offline simulations will now be real-time digital twins."
This is the infrastructure layer for the next generation of product design and engineering.
