Beyond the Vector Store: Building the Full Data Layer for AI Applications
If you look at the architecture diagram of almost any AI startup today, you will see a large language model (LLM) connected to a vector store.

Memory is one of the most overlooked parts of agentic system design.
In the modern AI landscape, an agent loop is a cyclic, repeatable, and continuous process whereby an entity called an AI agent — with a certain degree of autonomy — works toward a goal.
Unlike fully structured tabular data, preparing text data for machine learning models typically entails tasks like tokenization, embeddings, or sentiment analysis.

Understanding the behavior of complex machine learning systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), is a critical challenge in modern artificial intelligence. Interpretability research aims to make the decision-making process more transparent to model builders and impacted humans, a step toward safer and more trustworthy AI. To gain a comprehensive understanding, we can analyze these systems …
An encoder (optical system) maps objects to noiseless images, which noise corrupts into measurements. Our information estimator uses only these noisy measurements and a noise model to quantify how well measurements distinguish objects. Many imaging systems produce measurements that humans never see or cannot interpret directly. Your smartphone processes raw sensor data through algorithms before …
Traditional search engines have historically relied on keyword search.
Using large language models (LLMs) — or their outputs, for that matter — for all kinds of machine learning-driven tasks, including predictive ones that were already being solved long before language models emerged, has become something of a trend.
Language models generate text one token at a time, reprocessing the entire sequence at each step.
