Researchers at Nvidia have developed a technique that can reduce the memory costs of large language model reasoning by up to eight times. Their technique, called dynamic memory sparsification (DMS), compresses the key value (KV) cache, the temporary memory LLMs generate and store as they process prompts and reason through problems and documents.While researchers have proposed various methods to compress this cache before, most struggle to do so without degrading...

Typically, when building, training and deploying AI, enterprises prioritize accuracy. And that, no doubt, is important; but in highly complex, nuanced industries like law, accuracy alone isn’t enough. Higher stakes mean higher standards: Models outputs must be assessed for relevancy, authority, citation accuracy and hallucination rates. To tackle this immense task, LexisNexis has evolved beyond standard retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to graph RAG and agentic graphs; it has also built out...

Building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for AI agents often involves using multiple layers and technologies for structured data, vectors and graph information. In recent months it has also become increasingly clear that agentic AI systems need memory, sometimes referred to as contextual memory, to operate effectively.The complexity and synchronization of having different data layers to enable context can lead to performance and accuracy issues. It's a challenge that SurrealDB is... Read more
