TableRAG tackles a core limitation of existing RAG approaches: their inability to reason effectively over heterogeneous documents that combine both unstructured text and structured tables. Typical RAG pipelines flatten tables and intermix them with surrounding text, losing essential structural information and hampering multi-hop reasoning.
Whether you’re looking to change careers or just learn something new, Codecademy can help. With over 600 interactive courses, plus portfolio projects and industry certification prep, you'll get hands-on experience using in-demand tech skills. Big Data News Weekly readers can use code SKILLUP15 to save 15% on a year of Codecademy Pro.

The purpose of this article will be exploring the core dissimilarities with respect to and also similarities in human and artificial intelligence, capabilities, inadequacies, and the philosophical and ethical dilemmas that crop up when machines begin to show the creaking ways of human cognition.

Anthropic researchers have open-sourced the tool they used to trace what goes on inside a large language model during inference. It includes a circuit tracing Python library that can be used with any open-weights model and a frontend hosted on Neuropedia to explore the library output through a graph.

Ragbits is a modular type-safe opensource Python package that gives the essential “bits” for building RAG apps: fundamental tools for working with LLMs and vector databases, abstractions for building agentic systems, full-stack infrastructure for conversational apps, and more.
Learn how to evaluate LLMs using real-world benchmarks, open-source leaderboards, and your own data. This guide compares proprietary and open models, shows how to run Granite with Ollama, and walks through RAG setups.

AI News:

ByteDance has launched Seedance 1.0, a new AI video model that it claims beats Google’s Veo 3, OpenAI’s Sora and Kuaishou’s Kling. On benchmark site Artificial Analysis, it ranks first in both text-to-video and image-to-video tasks. Seedance 1.0 generates longer videos with multiple scenes, accurate movements and sharp visuals.
56% of workers say scheduling a meeting is the only way to get information. With Jira, use AI to automatically add work from Slack, create subtasks, or attach relevant resources. So instead of scheduling a meeting, check the status in Jira. Easy.

MIT researchers just developed Self-Adapting LLMs (SEAL), a framework that enables large language models to teach and improve on their own by creating their training data and instructions for self-updates. SEAL allows models to generate their own "self-edits" — instructions for creating synthetic data and setting parameters to update their own weights.
