🎯 Implementing Llama Integration • Caching for Inference Costs • Caching Benefits for Models
💬 "How would we local llama-ers implement this?""The reason they did not, from my best guess, is that for local workload, it has 1. less context reuse 2. usually runs smaller models which prefill very fast 3. the workload does not saturate the server(usually with lower qps)"

The RAG Obituary: Killed by agents, buried by context windows

💬 HackerNews Buzz: 70 comments 🐝 BUZZING
🎯 Scaling limitations of RAG • Semantic understanding vs. keyword matching • Hybrid search approaches
💬 "The author's main example is Claude Code searching through local codebases with grep and ripgrep, then extrapolates this to claim RAG is dead for all document retrieval.""Grep does exact keyword matching. If a user searches for 'revenue growth drivers' and the document discusses 'factors contributing to increased sales', grep returns nothing."

OpenTSLM: Language models that understand time series

💬 HackerNews Buzz: 67 comments 🐝 BUZZING
🎯 Time series analysis • Limitations of LLMs • Practical applications
💬 "A universal TSLM will power proactive healthcare, adaptive robotics, resilient infrastructure, and new forms of human-AI collaboration.""Unlike most commercial medical applications where signals are stationary with white (uncorrelated) noise, the NSA and Rentec mostly deal with non-stationary signals with regime changes and correlated noise, which can't be denoised without loss of information."
