Industrial machinery generates more alarms than technicians can triage. For each important alarm requiring follow-up, the technician pulls historical context, determines the correct procedure, checks whether a specialist signal confirms the failure mode, and writes up a recommendation. This process remains consistent, and is well-suited for an AI agent. This post discusses a per-alarm analysis…
Perplexity AI Inc. today introduced a new feature that takes its current agentic artificial intelligence service, Computer, to perform better with greater security. The company introduced SPACE, a sandbox platform designed to allow its AI agent to act with its full capabilities, while providing the highest level of security for agentic systems. Perplexity Computer can…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of large language models (LLMs), the spotlight has largely focused on the decoder-only architecture. While these models have shown impressive capabilities across a wide range of generation tasks, the classic encoder-decoder architecture, such as T5 (The Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer), remains a popular choice for many real-world applications. Encoder-decoder models often…
Smartsheet is an enterprise work management platform that hundreds of thousands of organizations rely on. As enterprise teams adopt AI agents, those agents need structured access to the data inside systems like Smartsheet, but most systems aren’t built for that. To bridge this gap, Smartsheet built a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server on AWS…

Building a router into your agent sounds like an easy win. Send simple requests to cheaper models, reserve expensive ones for harder tasks, or route by specialty — Claude for code, Gemini for multimodal, and so on. A classifier or heuristic makes the call, costs go down, performance stays up. Done. Except it’s not. Most…
June 06, 2023 — Posted by Wei Wei, Developer AdvocateLarge language models (LLMs) are taking the world by storm, thanks to their powerful ability to generate text, translate languages, and answer questions in a coherent and informative way. At Google I/O 2023, we released the PaLM API as ‘public preview’ so that many developers can…
