Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #13bis] - The four bricks return useful results most of the time. Loop engineering is what the system does the rest of the time: when retrieval misses, when generation fails the schema, when the listing comes back incomplete, when an API call times out. Three control surfaces (trigger, termination, recovery) and one rule that separates a useful loop from a spinning one

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #9ter] - The pipeline from Article 9 calls a model at several steps to be sure it is right. On easy questions that is needless latency. A per-question signal routes them past the model, about two seconds saved for a keyword match.

Terabytes worth of credentials, many belonging to the world’s biggest and most sensitive organizations, have been exposed in a supply-chain attack on LiteLLM, an open source tool that streamlines AI-driven software development. Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco, Samsung, and Salesforce are only a handful of the entities whose access secrets were exposed.

The revelation was posted on Tuesday and Wednesday by security firms CloudSEK and Hudson Rock. CloudSEK said it found cloud keys, repository tokens, SSH keys, Kubernetes secrets, package publishing credentials, environment variables, and AI provider keys that could allow attackers to gain access to more than 2,500 organizations.

40 minutes is all it takes

The credentials were extracted during a 40-minute window in March while the victims used compromised versions of LiteLLM downloaded from the package’s official location in the Python Package Index repository. Hudson Rock said it made the discovery after analyzing a 195TB file that it obtained. Neither firm identified the source of the information.

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

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.
