Differences between transformer-based AI and the new generation of AI models
I frequently refer to OpenAI and the likes as LLM 1.0, by contrast to our xLLM architecture that I present as LLM 2.0. Over time, I received a lot of questions. Here I address the main differentiators. First, xLLM is a no-Blackbox, secure, auditable, double-distilled agentic LLM/RAG for trustworthy Enterprise AI, using 10,000 fewer (multi-)tokens, no vector database but Python-native, fast nested hashes in its original version, and no transformer to generate the structured output to a prompt.

Language Models: A 75-Year Journey That Didn’t Start With Transformers
Introduction Language models have existed for decades — long before today’s so-called “LLMs.” In the 1990s, IBM’s alignment models and smoothed n-gram systems trained on hundreds of millions of words set performance records. By the 2000s, the internet’s growth enabled “web as corpus” datasets, pushing statistical models to dominate natural language processing (NLP). Yet, many believe language modelling began in 2017 with Google’s Transformer architecture and BERT. In reality, Transformers revolutionized scalability but were just one step in a much […]

AI-Designed Proteins Take on Deadly Snake Venom
Every year, venomous snakes kill over 100,000 people and leave 300,000 more with devastating injuries — amputations, paralysis and permanent disabilities. 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. Antivenoms — derived from the blood of immunized animals — are expensive, difficult to manufacture and often […]

Japan Develops Next-Generation Drug Design, Healthcare Robotics and Digital Health Platforms
To provide high-quality medical care to its population — around 30% of whom are 65 or older — Japan is pursuing sovereign AI initiatives supporting nearly every aspect of healthcare. AI tools trained on country-specific data and local compute infrastructure are supercharging the abilities of Japan’s clinicians and researchers so they can care for patients, amid an expected shortage of nearly 500,000 healthcare workers by next year. Breakthrough technology deployments by the country’s healthcare leaders — including in […]

Robots that spare warehouse workers the heavy lifting
There are some jobs human bodies just weren’t meant to do. Unloading trucks and shipping containers is a repetitive, grueling task — and a big reason warehouse injury rates are more than twice the national average. The Pickle Robot Company wants its machines to do the heavy lifting. The company’s one-armed robots autonomously unload trailers, picking up boxes weighing up to 50 pounds and placing them onto onboard conveyor belts for warehouses of all types. The company name, […]
