The victims are often farmers, herders and children in rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. For them, a snakebite isn’t just a medical crisis — it’s an economic catastrophe. Treatment hasn’t changed in over a century.

MIT researchers propose a new model for legible, modular software
Coding with large language models (LLMs) holds huge promise, but it also exposes some long-standing flaws in software: code that’s messy, hard to change safely, and often opaque about what’s really happening under the hood. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are charting a more “modular” path ahead. Their new approach breaks systems into “concepts,” separate pieces of a system, each designed to do one job well, and “synchronizations,” explicit rules that describe exactly […]

RAG Text Chunking Strategies: Optimize LLM Knowledge Access
Author(s): Abinaya Subramaniam Originally published on Towards AI. If retrieval is the search engine of your RAG system, chunking is the foundation the search engine stands on. Even the strongest LLM fails when the chunks are too long, too short, noisy, or cut at the wrong place. That is why practitioners often say: “Chunking determines 70% of RAG quality.” Good chunking helps the retriever find information that is complete, contextual, and relevant while bad chunking creates fragmented, out […]
