Prompt, Context, Loop: The Three Engineering Layers Every RAG System Is Built On

3 August 2026 at 16:30

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #M2] - Every RAG system is built in three engineering layers stacked on one LLM call: prompt (the call itself), context (what fills the model’s window), loop (when the next call fires and when it stops). Knowing which layer you are standing on is half of building and debugging RAG

Coding Agents Don’t Need Bigger Context Windows — They Need a Context Compiler

1 August 2026 at 15:00

Most coding agents treat prompt construction like retrieval: gather more files, add more context, hope the model figures it out. But that approach breaks down fast. As context grows, irrelevant code competes for attention, and when the window fills, agents start compressing their own memory—often mid-task. What looks like “forgetting” is usually just degraded context. This article explores a different approach: treating prompt construction like a compiler that decides what to keep, what to reduce, and what to discard entirely.

A Simplified View of the Jacobian Conjecture

30 July 2026 at 13:30

The full conjecture is stated over abstract fields, but the counterexample is a concrete 3D function that we can explain and visualize using familiar geometric ideas and a little algebra.

Prompt Engineering Is Solved—Prompt Management Isn’t

29 July 2026 at 16:33

Prompt engineering helps you write better prompts—but it doesn’t help you change them safely. This article explores a common production failure where a simple variable rename breaks every live call, and introduces a lightweight static analysis tool that treats prompts like contracts, catching breaking changes before they ship.

AI has transformed how organizations operate, driving unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation. However, AI adoption can be impeded by concerns surrounding data privacy, sovereignty and how to secure data while it is in use, or during inference and engagement with AI models. NVIDIA Confidential Computing (CC) was engineered to be a secure and performant solution for the era of agentic…

The automotive cockpit is undergoing a fundamental shift from rule-based interfaces to agentic, multimodal AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, and acting. In most vehicles on the road today, in-vehicle assistants still rely on fixed command-response patterns: interpret a phrase, trigger an action, reset. While effective for well-defined tasks, this approach doesn’t scale to modern…
