Zeta Alpha launches custom AI agents built for knowledge-intensive enterprise teams. Easily create, share, schedule and manage your own AI agents that get real work done.

This month’s Trends in AI webinar focused on something that's rapidly moving from hype to reality: AI for scientific discovery, especially in chemistry, pharma, and materials science. Read more about it here: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/trends-...

Join us tomorrow at 5PM CET / 8AM PT, for a special episode of our Trends in AI show, with a focus on AI for scientific discovery in chemistry, life sciences, and pharma. Sign up: lu.ma/trends-in-ai...

Good advice. Don’t select AI vendors based on capital raised, news headlines or Gigawatts of compute, but on ability to partner and to deliver.

The most interesting takeaway from the keynote? 84% of IT leaders don’t track accuracy. How can you govern and improve something that you don’t measure.

Also cool: Context Engineering, the fastest hype cycle rise from Andrej Karpathy tweet to Gartner CIO strategy advisory in less than 5 months. (With due credit for Tobi Lutke)

Reporting for @zeta-alpha.bsky.social from Gartner Xpo Barcelona this week, and rest assured: it’s all about AI agents #GartnerSYM

RAG in production is no longer "retrieve a few documents, paste into a prompt, and hope the answer is correct". The modern pattern is Agentic RAG: plan-execute loops, search across enterprise sources and the web, shared memory, tool use, and verification. ✍️ Read more: zeta-alpha.com/post/agentic...

For enterprises and organizations deploying AI apps in production, AI Safety is no longer optional. And by AI Safety we don't mean some abstract "AI risk", but the practical policies, controls, and engineering that keep systems secure, compliant, and trustworthy. 👉 www.zeta-alpha.com/post/enterpr...

Great landing in San Francisco yesterday: fresh off the plane, I plugged in to the @zeta-alpha.bsky.social office on Mission and 3rd and hit the ground running. We are ready to roll in the Bay Area (see below).

How to automatically evaluate and optimize multi-agent setups for deep research? Excited to share that this week @abcamara.com and I will be giving two talks in Amsterdam on one of our favorite R&D topics. - August 27th: @opensearch.org Meetup Amsterdam - August 29th: AI Dev Event Amsterdam #AIDev

AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can reliably access, and the latest release of our Agents SDK makes it easy to connect to MCP servers. We've prepared a quick guide where we bootstrap a minimal MCP-powered chat agent with just a few lines of code: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/build-m...

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have gained traction because of their ability to ground generated answers in knowledge sources, allowing for higher accuracy and reliability. However, challenges arise when it comes to evaluation, particularly in the absence of clear ground truth data.

Missed last week's Trends in AI episode on evaluating AI systems? We've got you covered! Check out the highlights in our latest blog: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/trends-...

Catch us live today at 8 AM PST / 5 PM CEST for our monthly Trends in AI webinar - diving into AI evaluations, LLM benchmarking, relevance metrics for RAG, popular eval libraries, and the quirks of LLM-as-a-Judge for automated & continuous assessment of AI systems' performance. lu.ma/trends-in-ai...

One of the advantages of Europe is its wonderful high speed train system. So this morning I hopped on the Eurostar to Paris, where I am proud to represent @zeta-alpha.bsky.social at the Hello Tomorrow 2025 Global Summit on the AI side of the Dutch Deep Tech delegation.

Agents are all the rage - and for good reason. While the concept of agents has been around for decades in traditional software engineering, recent AI breakthroughs have brought them back into the spotlight.

What distinguishes an agent from a RAG system? How are companies using them to solve problems that weren't possible just months ago? In our upcoming episode, we'll explore the practical side of agents, like frameworks, implementation details, and the challenges they're uniquely suited to address.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the talk about reasoning models? We've summarized the key points from our latest Trends in AI episode, covering the history of reasoning in LLMs, DeepSeek-R1's innovations, and their impact on AI applications. Check it out!

The whole world is buzzing with the performance of DeepSeek’s reasoning model, R1, and its implications for the dominance of Western tech companies in the AGI race. But what exactly are reasoning models? Did anyone see them coming? And how can they be used to create value?

What better way to start the year than by reflecting on the recent progress in AI and extrapolating the trends to predict where things are headed in 2025!
