What if you could build a secure, scalable RAG+LLM system – no GPU, no latency, no hallucinations? In this session, Vincent Granville shares how to engineer high-performance, agentic multi-LLMs from scratch using Python. Learn how to rethink everything from token chunking to sub-LLM selection to create AI systems that are explainable, efficient, and designed for enterprise-scale applications. What you’ll learn: How to build LLM systems without deep neural nets or GPUs Real-time fine-tuning, self-tuning, and context-aware retrieval Best […]
MIT engineers have developed a printable aluminum alloy that can withstand high temperatures and is five times stronger than traditionally manufactured aluminum. The new printable metal is made from a mix of aluminum and other elements that the team identified using a combination of simulations and machine learning, which significantly pruned the number of possible combinations of materials to search through. While traditional methods would require simulating over 1 million possible combinations of materials, the team’s new machine […]
Google Beam, our first true-to-life 3D video communication platform, made great progress in 2025.
Adoption of new tools and technologies occurs when users largely perceive them as reliable, accessible, and an improvement over the available methods and workflows for the cost. Five PhD students from the inaugural class of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab Summer Program are utilizing state-of-the-art resources, alleviating AI pain points, and creating new features and capabilities to promote AI usefulness and deployment — from learning when to trust a model that predicts another’s accuracy to more effectively reasoning […]
OpenAI shipped Sora for Android in 28 days using Codex. AI-assisted planning, translation, and parallel coding workflows helped a nimble team deliver rapid, reliable development.
Managing a power grid is like trying to solve an enormous puzzle. Grid operators must ensure the proper amount of power is flowing to the right areas at the exact time when it is needed, and they must do this in a way that minimizes costs without overloading physical infrastructure. Even more, they must solve this complicated problem repeatedly, as rapidly as possible, to meet constantly changing demand. To help crack this consistent conundrum, MIT researchers developed a […]
In my previous paper posted here, I explained how I built a new class of non-standard deep neural networks, with various case studies based on synthetic data and open-source code, covering problems such as noise filtering, high-dimensional curve fitting, and predictive analytics. One of the models featured a promising universal function able to represent any type of smooth response, while leading to fast convergence. Here I explore weight sensitivity and distillation. The words weight and parameter are used […]
