At LinkedIn, the engineering team shifted separated search use cases to a centralized hosted search service, known as search-as-a-service. One of the largest use cases is the search system for LinkedIn Sales Navigator, which leverages AI to identify prospects, enhance engagement, and elevate conversations.

AI agent architecture refers to the underlying framework and design of artificial intelligence systems that enable agents to perform specific tasks autonomously. These agents act in dynamic environments, making decisions based on input data from the surroundings, processing that information, and taking appropriate actions.
The Transformer architecture, introduced in 2017, revolutionized sequence-to-sequence tasks like language translation by eliminating the need for recurrent neural networks. Instead, it relies on self-attention mechanisms to process input sequences. In this post, you’ll learn how to build a Transformer model from scratch. In particular, you will understand:
Google's LangExtract library lets you pull structured data from any unstructured text by showing the model one high-quality example of your desired output format. It handles everything from quick text snippets to full documents, processing them in parallel while maintaining exact source grounding so every extracted piece traces back to its original location. It also generates HTML visualization for exploring results.
Social scientists have a problem: studying human behavior is expensive, time-consuming, and often impossible to control. Now, picture 10,000 AI agents living, working, and arguing about gun control in a virtual city. That's what Tsinghua University's research team created with AgentSociety.
Veterinarians nationwide reported that corporate managers pushed clinics to focus on profit, with vets often paid based on revenue. This encouraged them to see more pets, order more tests, and upsell services, creating a growing burden for uninsured pet owners. Pet insurance could help you offset some of these rising costs, with some providing up to 90% reimbursement. View Money’s top pet insurance picks to see plans starting at only $10/month.

Anthropic has terminated OpenAI’s partnership with its Claude models, citing concerns that OpenAI was using them to train competing AI systems. The move underscores rising tension between major AI labs as they increasingly guard their models, data, and commercial advantages.
Apple quietly formed a new team called Answers, Knowledge, and Information earlier this year. The group is exploring a number of in-house AI services with the goal of creating a new ChatGPT-like search experience. Apple recently started advertising job openings for the team, with several listings specifically mentioning experience with search algorithms and engine development.
Reddit has ambitions to become the go-to search engine people use. Its search function has more than 70 million weekly users, and Reddit Answers, its AI-powered Q&A product, is now used by 6 million people. Reddit Answers is currently available in a dozen countries.
OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise funding at a valuation above $100B, following its recent $8.3B haul, one of the largest private AI funding rounds to date. The company reports user engagement has more than doubled, with 100M people using ChatGPT weekly and more turning to the GPT-4o-powered basic tier.
Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T
The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
