How to Build Ethically Aligned Autonomous Agents through Value-Guided Reasoning and Self-Correcting Decision-Making Using Open-Source Models
In this tutorial, we explore how we can build an autonomous agent that aligns its actions with ethical and organizational values. We use open-source Hugging Face models running locally in…
IBM AI Team Releases Granite 4.0 Nano Series: Compact and Open-Source Small Models Built for AI at the Edge
Small models are often blocked by poor instruction tuning, weak tool use formats, and missing governance. IBM AI team released Granite 4.0 Nano, a small model family that targets local…
Microsoft Releases Agent Lightning: A New AI Framework that Enables Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based Training of LLMs for Any AI Agent
How do you convert real agent traces into reinforcement learning RL transitions to improve policy LLMs without changing your existing agent stack? Microsoft AI team releases Agent Lightning to help…
Liquid AI Releases LFM2-ColBERT-350M: A New Small Model that brings Late Interaction Retrieval to Multilingual and Cross-Lingual RAG
Can a compact late interaction retriever index once and deliver accurate cross lingual search with fast inference? Liquid AI released LFM2-ColBERT-350M, a compact late interaction retriever for multilingual and cross-lingual…
How Exploration Agents like Q-Learning, UCB, and MCTS Collaboratively Learn Intelligent Problem-Solving Strategies in Dynamic Grid Environments
In this tutorial, we explore how exploration strategies shape intelligent decision-making through agent-based problem solving. We build and train three agents, Q-Learning with epsilon-greedy exploration, Upper Confidence Bound (UCB), and…
MiniMax Releases MiniMax M2: A Mini Open Model Built for Max Coding and Agentic Workflows at 8% Claude Sonnet Price and ~2x Faster
Can an open source MoE truly power agentic coding workflows at a fraction of flagship model costs while sustaining long-horizon tool use across MCP, shell, browser, retrieval, and code? MiniMax…
Zhipu AI Releases ‘Glyph’: An AI Framework for Scaling the Context Length through Visual-Text Compression
Can we render long texts as images and use a VLM to achieve 3–4× token compression, preserving accuracy while scaling a 128K context toward 1M-token workloads? A team of researchers…
Meet Pyversity Library: How to Improve Retrieval Systems by Diversifying the Results Using Pyversity?
Pyversity is a fast, lightweight Python library designed to improve the diversity of results from retrieval systems. Retrieval often returns items that are very similar, leading to redundancy. Pyversity efficiently…
How to Build a Fully Interactive, Real-Time Visualization Dashboard Using Bokeh and Custom JavaScript?
In this tutorial, we create a fully interactive, visually compelling data visualization dashboard using Bokeh. We start by turning raw data into insightful plots, then enhance them with features such…
How to Build an Agentic Decision-Tree RAG System with Intelligent Query Routing, Self-Checking, and Iterative Refinement?
In this tutorial, we build an advanced Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that goes beyond simple question answering. We design it to intelligently route queries to the right knowledge sources,…
