OpenViking is an open-source Context Database for AI Agents from Volcengine. The project is built around a simple architectural concept: agent systems should not treat context as a flat collection of text chunks. Instead, OpenViking organizes context through a file system paradigm, with the goal of ...

Most LLM agents work well for short tool-calling loops but start to break down when the task becomes multi-step, stateful, and artifact-heavy. LangChain’s Deep Agents is designed for that gap. The project is described by LangChain as an ‘agent harness‘: a standalone library built on top of ...

Why Document OCR Still Remains a Hard Engineering Problem? What does it take to make OCR useful for real documents instead of clean demo images? And can a compact multimodal model handle parsing, tables, formulas, and structured extraction without turning inference into a resource bonfire? That is ...

You reading this tells me you wish to learn more about Excel. This article continues our Excel series, where we explored the VLOOKUP function in the last iteration. The complete VLOOKUP guide demonstrated how the function works and how best to use it. This time, we shall bring the same focus to ...

What if AI-assisted coding became more reliable by separating product planning, engineering review, release, and QA into distinct operating modes? That is the idea behind Garry Tan’s gstack, an open-source toolkit that packages Claude Code into 8 opinionated workflow skills backed by a persistent ...

I asked ChatGPT how it feels about the recent and viral AI trend of switching from ChatGPT to Claude. Here is what it said: “As for how it makes me feel: I don’t have feelings or brand loyalty. But from a usefulness standpoint, it’s a good thing. Easier switching forces AI products to compete on ...

Most AI tools forget you as soon as you close the browser window. The system begins all interactions with a new user. AI agents provide a solution to this problem because they handle their complete workflow through their system. MaxClaw is one of the best in this category. MiniMax developed this ...

For decades, manufacturers have pursued automation to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and stabilize operations. That approach delivered meaningful gains, but it is no longer enough. Today’s manufacturing leaders face a different challenge: how to grow amid labor constraints, rising complexity, and ...

In recent times, many developments in the agent ecosystem have focused on enabling AI agents to interact with external tools and access domain-specific knowledge more effectively. Two common approaches that have emerged are skills and MCPs. While they may appear similar at first, they differ in how ...

Google AI Research team recently released Groundsource, a new methodology that uses Gemini model to extract structured historical data from unstructured public news reports. The project addresses the lack of historical data for rapid-onset natural disasters. Its first output is an open-source ...
