RAG Is Not the Whole Toolkit: The NLP Techniques Real Problems Still Need

29 August 2026 at 13:00

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #B00] - Retrieval answers one kind of question. Classifying a request, matching free text to a reference list, reading a table, cleaning OCR noise: each has a cheaper method that works, and the engineering is knowing which one to reach for

Pew study confirms sharp rise of AI-written text on the web since ChatGPT's launch

24 August 2026 at 18:22

The Pew Research Center analyzed nearly half a million English-language web pages for AI-generated content. More than a third of pages published since ChatGPT's launch show signs of machine-written text, and commercial .com sites are ten times more likely to contain AI content than .edu or .gov domains.

Speculative Decoding on CPUs: Nearly 4x Faster Token Generation with DFlash

24 August 2026 at 13:30

Speculative decoding can turn underused CPU compute into faster token generation, without changing the model's output. In our vLLM tests, DFlash delivered 3.92x the autoregressive throughput with Qwen3.5-9B on Intel Xeon 6 at concurrency 1. We break down where the speedup comes from, explain the acceptance metrics, and show what determines whether speculation pays off.

AI Agents Don’t Need More Context β€” They Need Typed Context

24 August 2026 at 12:00

AI agents don’t just have a context problemβ€”they have a context typing problem. When instructions, memory, retrieved evidence, and tool outputs are flattened into one string, their semantic boundaries can disappear. I built a lightweight, zero-dependency Python runtime that keeps those boundaries explicit, tracks provenance, and rejects invalid context transformations before they reach the model. This article walks through the implementation, tests, and what this approach doesβ€”and does notβ€”guarantee.
