Build a self-hosted, end-to-end platform that gives each user a personal, agentic chatbot that can autonomously vector-search through files that the user explicitly allows it to access. The post Personal, Agentic Assistants: A Practical Blueprint for a Secure, Multi-User, Self-Hosted Chatbot appeared first on Towards Data Science.

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots can’t reach, while simultaneously dodging stationary obstacles and pieces of falling rubble. So far, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along smooth trajectories, far from the swift, agile flight of real insects — until now. MIT researchers have demonstrated […]

Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60 percent of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure is expected to grow across industries. Because synthetic data don’t contain real-world information, they hold the promise of safeguarding privacy while reducing the cost and increasing the […]

Author(s): Manash Pratim Originally published on Towards AI. There’s a moment every engineer dreads. The dashboards are green. The alerts are silent. Everything looks calm until it isn’t. One minute your logs are flowing normally. The next minute, the system collapses like a badly timed Jenga tower. Image generated using AIThe article discusses the author’s experience creating a small Python agent that monitors system logs in real-time, catching issues before traditional monitoring tools can trigger alerts. By focusing […]

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 […]
