Beyond Retrieval: The Expanding Universe of Augmented Generation in AI

Introduction Standard large language models (LLMs) possess vast knowledge but struggle with limitations like hallucinations and accessing real-time information due to their static training data. This has spurred the development of dynamic AI architectures. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a key solution, integrating external knowledge into the generation process.

If You Ask Google Why It Sucks Now, AI Overviews Will Viciously Bully Google and Itself

Google's notorious AI Overviews feature appears to have finally gotten it right — but for all the wrong reasons. As flagged on Bluesky, if you ask Google why its own search engine feels so useless lately, the company's AI feature will provide multiple and excoriating reasons — including brutal attacks against itself, Google's much-maligned AI Overviews.

Google DeepMind's Genie 3 can dynamically alter the state of its simulated worlds

At start of December, Google DeepMind released Genie 2. The Genie family of AI systems are what are known as world models. They're capable of generating images as the user — either a human or, more likely, an automated AI agent — moves through the world the software is simulating. The resulting video of the model in action may look like a video game, but DeepMind has always positioned Genie 2 as a way to train other AI systems to be better at what they're designed to accomplish.
