This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
Today, we're joined by Sebastian Gehrmann, head of responsible AI in the Office of the CTO at Bloomberg, to discuss AI safety in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and generative AI in high-stakes domains like financial services. We explore how RAG, contrary to some expectations, can inadvertently degrade model safety. We cover examples of unsafe outputs that can emerge from these systems, different approaches to evaluating these safety risks, and the potential reasons behind this counterintuitive behavior. Shifting to the application of generative AI in financial services, Sebastian outlines a domain-specific safety taxonomy designed for the industry's unique needs. We also explore the critical role of governance and regulatory frameworks in addressing these concerns, the role of prompt engineering in bolstering safety, Bloomberg's multi-layered mitigation strategies, and vital areas for further work in improving AI safety within specialized domains. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at https://twimlai.com/go/732.
Joel Christner, (@joelchristner, Founder/CEO at @viewyourdata) discusses the complexities of data management in AI, structured and unstructured data, the importance of RAG pipelines and vector databases. SHOW SUMMARY: Aaron and Joel discusses the complexities of data management in AI, focusing on the concept of universal data representation. They explore the challenges organizations face with structured and unstructured data, the importance of RAG pipelines and vector databases, and the implications of data privacy in regulated industries. The conversation also touches on managing model versions and the emerging patterns in AI tooling that can help enterprises effectively utilize AI technologies.SHOW: 925SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Cloudcast #925 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtube.com/@TheCloudcastNET CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK - http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwNEW TO CLOUD?

Give everyone a quick introduction.Topic 2 - Our topic today is everything data and how to represent it and embed it into AI systems. First, what is the challenge with data, structured or unstructured, in organizations today and what is behind the concept of Universal Data RepresentationTopic 3 - Industry or customer specific data today is big challenge for organziations, especially in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, etc. The most prevalent solution I am seeing is taking an existing foundational model and then adding a RAG pipeline vs. the cost and time to fine tuning. What are you seeing?Topic 4 - Even when companies have good data, that doesn't mean that data makes it into the AI pipeline correctly, this is where the embedding problem and your concept of Universal Data Representation comes into play, correct?Topic 5 - But, once you get the first model out, then what? How should the data and models be handled over time? How do you create a platform and a continuous feedback loop to improve the results over time?Topic 6 - What are the most successful use cases you are seeing today with your customers?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netBluesky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod
Large language models are helping developers move faster than ever. But behind the convenience of AI-generated code lies a security vulnerability: package hallucinations. In this episode, Ashok sits down with U.S. Army cybersecurity officer and PhD researcher Joe Spracklen to unpack new research on how hallucinated package names—fake libraries that don't yet exist—can be weaponized by attackers and quietly introduced into your software supply chain. Joe's recent academic study reveals how large language models like ChatGPT and Code Llama are frequently recommending software packages that don't actually exist—yet. These fake suggestions create the perfect opportunity for attackers to register malicious packages with those names, compromising developer machines and potentially entire corporate networks. Whether your team is deep into AI pair programming or just starting to experiment, this conversation surfaces key questions every tech leader should be asking before pushing AI-generated code to production.

What "package hallucinations" are and why they matter How AI code assistants can introduce real vulnerabilities into your network Which models were most likely to hallucinate packages Why hallucinated package names are often persistent—not random How attackers could weaponize hallucinated names to spread malware What mitigation strategies were tested—and which ones failed Why simple retrieval-based techniques (like RAG) don't solve the problem Steps security-conscious teams can take today to protect their environments The importance of developer awareness as more non-traditional engineers enter the field Mentioned in this episode Python Package Index (PyPI) npm JavaScript package registry Snyk, Socket.dev, Phylum (dependency monitoring tools) Artifactory, Nexus, Verdaccio (private package registries) ChatGPT, Code Llama, DeepSeek (AI models tested) Subscribe to the Convergence podcast wherever you get podcasts including video episodes on YouTube at youtube.com/@convergencefmpodcast Learn something?

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
AFCEA'S TechNet Cyber conference held in Baltimore, Maryland was the perfect opportunity to sit down with Greg Carl, Principal Technologist from Pure Storage. Pure Storage is used by 175 federal agencies. Time to sit down from a subject matter expert and explain their value proposition. Today's federal government is attempting to accomplish digital modernization through a move to the cloud and, at the same time, reduce staff. To multiply the risk associated with this endeavor, we see an increase in cyber attacks on data at rest, in transit, and while in use. Greg Carl drills down on how Pure Storage can help federal leaders in several areas, he begins with Retrieval Augmented Generation, RAG. People have jumped into AI without knowing how to structure a large language model, the popular LLM. RAG focuses on text generation and tries to make sure the data collected is accurate, relevant, and contextually aware. Pure Storage asks, if RAG protects the results of a query, what protects the “Retrieval” part of RAG. We know LLMs are being attacked every day. Malicious code could be placed in a LLM, and the RAG system might not know. A decade ago, backups were child's play. A server down the hall, a backup appliance. Today, one needs an agile cloud solution to perform continuous backups in a hybrid world. One way to gain resilience is to use immutable backups where the attacked system can be restored and not lose valuable time. Speed and security handling important data activities can reduce costs for federal leaders by improving accuracy of LLMs and speed the time to recover after an attack.

At inference, large language models use in-context learning with zero-, one-, or few-shot examples to perform new tasks without weight updates, and can be grounded with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) by embedding documents into vector databases for real-time factual lookup using cosine similarity. LLM agents autonomously plan, act, and use external tools via orchestrated loops with persistent memory, while recent benchmarks like GPQA (STEM reasoning), SWE Bench (agentic coding), and MMMU (multimodal college-level tasks) test performance alongside prompt engineering techniques such as chain-of-thought reasoning, structured few-shot prompts, positive instruction framing, and iterative self-correction. Links Notes and resources at ocdevel.com/mlg/mlg35 Build the future of multi-agent software with AGNTCY Try a walking desk stay healthy & sharp while you learn & code In-Context Learning (ICL) Definition: LLMs can perform tasks by learning from examples provided directly in the prompt without updating their parameters. Types: Zero-shot: Direct query, no examples provided. One-shot: Single example provided. Few-shot: Multiple examples, balancing quantity with context window limitations. Mechanism: ICL works through analogy and Bayesian inference, using examples as semantic priors to activate relevant internal representations. Emergent Properties: ICL is an "inference-time training" approach, leveraging the model's pre-trained knowledge without gradient updates; its effectiveness can be enhanced with diverse, non-redundant examples. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Grounding Grounding: Connecting LLMs with external knowledge bases to supplement or update static training data. Motivation: LLMs' training data becomes outdated or lacks proprietary/specialized knowledge. Benefit: Reduces hallucinations and improves factual accuracy by incorporating current or domain-specific information. RAG Workflow: Embedding: Documents are converted into vector embeddings (using sentence transformers or representation models). Storage: Vectors are stored in a vector database (e.g., FAISS, ChromaDB, Qdrant). Retrieval: When a query is made, relevant chunks are extracted based on similarity, possibly with re-ranking or additional query processing. Augmentation: Retrieved chunks are added to the prompt to provide up-to-date context for generation. Generation: The LLM generates responses informed by the augmented context. Advanced RAG: Includes agentic approaches—self-correction, aggregation, or multi-agent contribution to source ingestion, and can integrate external document sources (e.g., web search for real-time info, or custom datasets for private knowledge). LLM Agents Overview: Agents extend LLMs by providing goal-oriented, iterative problem-solving through interaction, memory, planning, and tool usage. Key Components: Reasoning Engine (LLM Core): Interprets goals, states, and makes decisions. Planning Module: Breaks down complex tasks using strategies such as Chain of Thought or ReAct; can incorporate reflection and adjustment. Memory: Short-term via context window; long-term via persistent storage like RAG-integrated databases or special memory systems. Tools and APIs: Agents select and use external functions—file manipulation, browser control, code execution, database queries, or invoking smaller/fine-tuned models. Capabilities: Support self-evaluation, correction, and multi-step planning; allow integration with other agents (multi-agent systems); face limitations in memory continuity, adaptivity, and controllability. Current Trends: Research and development are shifting toward these agentic paradigms as LLM core scaling saturates. Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) Definition: Models capable of ingesting and generating across different modalities (text, image, audio, video). Architecture: Modality-Specific Encoders: Convert raw modalities (text, image, audio) into numeric embeddings (e.g., vision transformers for images). Fusion/Alignment Layer: Embeddings from different modalities are projected into a shared space, often via cross-attention or concatenation, allowing the model to jointly reason about their content. Unified Transformer Backbone: Processes fused embeddings to allow cross-modal reasoning and generates outputs in the required format. Recent Advances: Unified architectures (e.g., GPT-4o) use a single model for all modalities rather than switching between separate sub-models. Functionality: Enables actions such as image analysis via text prompts, visual Q&A, and integrated speech recognition/generation. Advanced LLM Architectures and Training Directions Predictive Abstract Representation: Incorporating latent concept prediction alongside token prediction (e.g., via autoencoders). Patch-Level Training: Predicting larger “patches” of tokens to reduce sequence lengths and computation. Concept-Centric Modeling: Moving from next-token prediction to predicting sequences of semantic concepts (e.g., Meta's Large Concept Model). Multi-Token Prediction: Training models to predict multiple future tokens for broader context capture. Evaluation Benchmarks (as of 2025) Key Benchmarks Used for LLM Evaluation: GPQA (Diamond): Graduate-level STEM reasoning. SWE Bench Verified: Real-world software engineering, verifying agentic code abilities. MMMU: Multimodal, college-level cross-disciplinary reasoning. HumanEval: Python coding correctness. HLE (Human's Last Exam): Extremely challenging, multimodal knowledge assessment. LiveCodeBench: Coding with contamination-free, up-to-date problems. MLPerf Inference v5.0 Long Context: Throughput/latency for processing long contexts. MultiChallenge Conversational AI: Multiturn dialogue, in-context reasoning. TAUBench/PFCL: Tool utilization in agentic tasks. TruthfulnessQA: Measures tendency toward factual accuracy/robustness against misinformation. Prompt Engineering: High-Impact Techniques Foundational Approaches: Few-Shot Prompting: Provide pairs of inputs and desired outputs to steer the LLM. Chain of Thought: Instructing the LLM to think step-by-step, either explicitly or through internal self-reprompting, enhances reasoning and output quality. Clarity and Structure: Use clear, detailed, and structured instructions—task definition, context, constraints, output format, use of delimiters or markdown structuring. Affirmative Directives: Phrase instructions positively (“write a concise summary” instead of “don't write a long summary”). Iterative Self-Refinement: Prompt the LLM to review and improve its prior response for better completeness, clarity, and factuality. System Prompt/Role Assignment: Assign a persona or role to the LLM for tailored behavior (e.g., “You are an expert Python programmer”). Guideline: Regularly consult official prompting guides from model developers as model capabilities evolve. Trends and Research Outlook Inference-time compute is increasingly important for pushing the boundaries of LLM task performance. Agentic LLMs and multimodal reasoning represent the primary frontiers for innovation. Prompt engineering and benchmarking remain essential for extracting optimal performance and assessing progress. Models are expected to continue evolving with research into new architectures, memory systems, and integration techniques.
The endless excitement around Agentic AI might seem to eclipse the traditional blocking and tackling of data management, but don't be fooled. The fundamentals of working with data are now more important than ever. If anything, the lure of AI puts added pressure on teams to button down their data pipelines and move closer to optimal data orchestration, whether for data warehousing, RAG models, or training the next generation of deep learning modules. Register for this episode of InsideAnalysis to learn best practices for getting your data house in order! Host @eric_kavanagh will explain why Responsible AI starts and ends with data quality.

In this podcast interview, the speaker will provide a key overview of the build vs buy decision in uncovering Ballard Spahr's new AI tool "Ask Ellis." In addition, we will discuss what initial work they had to do with clients if they are using any of their client documents for fine tuning or RAG style solutions. Finally, we will highlight the various three assistants, which are chat, draft and analyze features. Moderator: Chris Hockey, Manager, Information Risk & Governance, Alvarez & Marsal Speaker: Lisa Mayo Haynes, Director of Technology Innovation, Ballard Spahr LLP
The explosion of embedding-based applications created a new challenge: efficiently storing, indexing, and searching these high-dimensional vectors at scale. This gap gave rise to the vector database category, with companies like Pinecone leading the charge in 2022-2023 by defining specialized infrastructure for vector operations. The category saw explosive growth following ChatGPT's launch in late 2022, as developers rushed to build AI applications using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This surge was partly driven by a widespread misconception that embedding-based similarity search was the only viable method for retrieving context for LLMs!!! The resulting "vector database gold rush" saw massive investment and attention directed toward vector search infrastructure, even though traditional information retrieval techniques remained equally valuable for many RAG applications. https://x.com/jobergum/status/1872923872007217309 Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Trondheim and Background 03:03 The Rise and Fall of Vector Databases 06:08 Convergence of Search Technologies 09:04 Embeddings and Their Importance 12:03 Building Effective Search Systems 15:00 RAG Applications and Recommendations 17:55 The Role of Knowledge Graphs 20:49 Future of Embedding Models and Innovations

“AI can accelerate everything, but if you don't have a clear strategy and alignment across leadership, you're just scaling inefficiency faster. Before you invest in tools or systems, you need to know why they matter, how you'll measure impact, and whether your organization is built to move fast enough to see results.” That's a quote from Mark Goloboy and a sneak peek at today's episode.Welcome to Revenue Boost, A Marketing Podcast. I'm your host, Kerry Curran—revenue growth expert, industry analyst, and relentless advocate for turning marketing into a revenue engine. Each episode, we bring you the strategies, insights, and conversations that help drive your revenue growth. Search for Revenue Boost in your favorite podcast directory and hit subscribe to stay ahead of the game.In a world where AI is evolving faster than your org chart, how do you build a marketing engine that's both smart and scalable? In From Strategy to Speed: Building a Modern Marketing Engine with AI, I sat down with Mark Goloboy, founder of Market Growth Consulting. We unpack how AI is transforming B2B marketing—and why strategy still comes first.From RAG pipelines and LLM optimization to lean team structures and rapid execution, Mark shares what today's business leaders need to know to move fast, stay aligned, and drive measurable growth. If you're tired of the AI hype and ready for more practical ways to accelerate performance, this one's for you.Be sure to listen through to the end, where Mark shares what you need to do to get started building your AI marketing engine today. Let's go!Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:01.359)So welcome, Mark. Please introduce yourself and share your background and expertise.Mark Goloboy (00:07.502)Excellent. Thank you, Kerry, for having me. Mark Goloboy, I'm the founder and CEO of Market Growth Consulting. We provide a variety of services to everything from small businesses to public companies. Our clients range from a private manufacturer north of Boston to global public companies.My background is on the sales-facing side of marketing. I've been the head of demand gen, marketing operations, and marketing analytics as I grew into marketing leadership. About two and a half years ago, I went out on my own to work directly with CEOs to fill in marketing gaps.At smaller companies, we place fractional CMOs and heads of demand gen to lead marketing, filling in subcontractors and agencies to execute. At larger companies, we run projects covering everything from marketing strategy, org strategy, budgeting, go-to-market strategy, and building out systems—we're currently doing a HubSpot to Salesforce and Marketo migration. We also do executive staffing, placing directors through CMOs either as temp-to-perm so clients can try before they buy, or through contingent staffing where if we find the right person, the client hires them for their future marketing leadership.Kerry Curran, RBMA (01:37.057)Excellent. Thank you, Mark. You've seen it all and are still very involved across business challenges and needs from a marketing, demand gen, and go-to-market perspective. There are lots of hot topics we could cover, but what are you hearing the most from your clients today? What's hottest for them?Mark Goloboy (02:03.662)Marketing really grew in 2022 and 2023 in terms of department size. But I think a lot of us felt it—venture-backed companies especially, but really everyone—wanted to get smaller again in 2023 and 2024. That was a painful adjustment across the industry. Now, as we move through 2024 into 2025, everyone is focused on:How do we do more with less? How do we think about fractional or contract roles in areas we never would have previously?That extends into AI-driven marketing, where every leader is looking to be more efficient and scale faster and smarter by using tools that take over some of the marketing workload. The real challenge now for marketing leaders is finding the balance between the people they need to hire, the money they need to spend, and where AI can make them faster, smarter, and more scalable—while still needing human review and strategic oversight.Kerry Curran, RBMA (03:38.947)Yeah, I agree. And you see so many emerging tools. I think if you search for AI in MarTech today, there's been a huge increase in companies claiming to offer something new or different. But AI actually means a lot of different things. You and I were talking earlier about how important it is to dig into the formula and structure behind what's labeled "AI." What are you seeing from that perspective?Mark Goloboy (04:15.054)Well, I think the big challenge, for me at least—I'm a solo entrepreneur running my own business with just myself and no employees—is figuring out how to work efficiently while wearing many hats.I use subcontractors who are experts at what they do, and I hire based on likeability and capability because my clients will keep rehiring me if they like who I bring them and the work gets done right.But because I'm a solo operator, I have to maximize my own productivity. So every day, I start by looking at what's on my plate and ask: "Could AI help me do this faster, better, or more scalably?"Whether it's a deliverable, a proposal, or a project plan, I always pause and think about how AI can be part of the solution—even if it's just for my internal work, not necessarily client-facing marketing.Kerry Curran, RBMA (05:31.545)Thank you.Mark Goloboy (05:43.870)Each of the major frontier models—OpenAI, Google Gemini, Claude, and others—are developing rapidly. Every time I try something, it's a little different, and the outputs are constantly improving.Last week, I had a meeting with a prospect using an ABM tool I had never heard of. I wanted to appear knowledgeable, so I asked OpenAI to compare it to Sixth Sense and Demandbase, which I know well.Within a minute, it gave me four pages of detailed research on each tool, plus a comparison grid. That would have taken a junior marketer on my team two months to produce. That's how fast this technology is evolving.Kerry Curran, RBMA (06:57.549)Yes, same for me. There's so much you can do faster now. You mentioned video editing, and I recently used napkin.ai to turn raw text into beautiful slides. It's such a game-changer for solo entrepreneurs.Mark Goloboy (07:27.790)Exactly. Externally, too, clients come to us with needs, and it's up to us to creatively think: "How can we use AI to deliver this better?"Last year, we trained an AI model to write like a PhD psychologist who had run a department at Columbia Med. Using her writing, interviews, and videos, we trained Google Gemini to mimic her voice—and she couldn't tell which blog posts were hers versus AI-generated.This was mid-2024, when people still said AI content was bland. But we were producing PhD-level work that passed her own review.Kerry Curran, RBMA (08:39.865)Yeah, it's pretty incredible. It helps us do a lot more and get a lot more out of our hours and days—getting smarter and more effective. What are some of the other ways or tools you've developed for your clients to help them with their demand gen and other aspects of business?Mark Goloboy (09:00.270)Yeah, so I joke with my clients that I didn't know what the letters RAG meant in December—but now I do. It stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation. That's about developing agentic pipelines to connect your internal data sources—whether documents, databases, or internal systems—to the large language models (LLMs), so you can move information between them and generate outputs informed not just by public data, but by your own proprietary data.Right now, we're building RAG agentic pipelines for a PR firm, for example. Their CEO prioritized the three use cases that would save their account managers the most time:Meeting scheduling and rescheduling, which wastes hours every week. Contract review, since they're doing placements in major media outlets and need to review hundreds of contracts a month. Media monitoring, summarizing brand mentions across the web and sending daily summaries to clients—something that takes an hour per client per day. By automating these processes, they save massive amounts of time, and as they grow, they don't need to hire as many new account managers.Kerry Curran, RBMA (10:58.467)Yes, that's super valuable. I love that it allows them to free up time to be more strategic instead of bogged down in busywork. So what are some of the steps required for someone to set this up? How did you learn more about creating these pipelines and the RAG system?Mark Goloboy (11:20.398)There are some really good places to learn. The first one I always recommend is the Marketing AI Institute. Paul Roetzer is the founder, and I learn the most from him.Paul and his content lead put out a one-hour podcast every week that breaks down everything that's changed in AI since the last episode. It's incredibly rich information. I usually listen at 1.5x speed and get through it in 40 minutes. I don't care about every topic, but I hear what matters and know where to dive deeper.Beyond that, I follow a few amazing marketers—Liza Adams, Nicole Leffer, and Andy Crestodina—who are brilliant at testing new things and sharing what works. They save me countless hours of trial and error.Kerry Curran, RBMA (12:41.133)Thank you—we'll be sure to include all of those in the show notes as well. One thing you mentioned was that the podcast covers what's changed in just the past week. AI is changing so fast. What should people keep in mind when they're building these tools or leveraging different sources?Mark Goloboy (13:01.336)I'm used to building very permanent, robust systems—CRM, marketing automation, ABM platforms—that are meant to deliver value for years. But with AI, we have to accept that some development is disposable.It's crucial to prioritize effort. We help clients understand: we're not building something that will last 5 years. Some of the code we build today might be obsolete in 6–12 months.For example, OpenAI just launched a new pipeline tool that replaced the one we were using. If we had spent six months building on the old system, it would already be outdated.So we advise clients: build for today's ROI and be ready to pivot constantly. If you're rigid, you'll miss the opportunity.Kerry Curran, RBMA (14:47.747)Yeah, it made me think about how, in a lot of organizations, it takes so long just to get buy-in and approvals to start using new tools. It's a whole culture and mindset shift—especially for marketing leaders.Mark Goloboy (15:07.788)Exactly. I couldn't imagine a one-year approval cycle for an AI project. By the time you'd get sign-off, the tools would have changed and you'd have to start over.You need faster review and approval cycles. Otherwise, AI-driven innovation simply won't be possible.Kerry Curran, RBMA (15:29.475)Yes, definitely. And that's another benefit of bringing someone like you in—you're well-versed in what's changing, and you have the curiosity and experience to guide them through it.Mark Goloboy (15:45.954)Exactly.Kerry Curran, RBMA (15:47.407)So for people listening who want to get started—maybe building custom pipelines or just leveraging AI more—what are the foundations they need to have in place?Mark Goloboy (16:14.830)The most important thing is a good strategy.When we come into companies, often because of turnover—whether it's the CRO, CMO, CEO—they don't have strong alignment on strategy anymore. If you don't have a clear strategy that demands an investment, and you don't know how you'll measure the value of what you're building, you're setting yourself up for failure.So we always start at the strategic level first.We also move fast. If you want a slow project, there are large consulting firms that are happy to take years and millions of dollars. That's not us. We think in three- to six-month project cycles—then we operate and optimize from there.We want to move quickly and get you results now, not years down the road.Kerry Curran, RBMA (18:29.229)That's such an important point. And it ties back to so many of the themes we talk about on this podcast—internal alignment, clear business goals, and unified execution across the organization.One of the tools you mentioned that I think is really fascinating helps address the trend of AI tools becoming new search engines. Can you talk about how you're helping your clients optimize for that?Mark Goloboy (19:19.950)Absolutely. Most of my clients are B2B. And historically, Google was how people found solutions. You wrote your content for Google—end of story.But now, with ChatGPT and other LLMs, people are searching inside AI to get answers. It's shifting fast—from 80/20 Google to maybe 50/50 Google/LLMs within a few years.We partnered with a tool called Brand Luminaire. It analyzes how LLMs like Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT surface information about your brand and your competitors.Critically, it shows you what sources the LLMs are pulling from. That means you know where to focus your writing, PR, and SEO efforts—not just for Google, but for the LLMs too.It's a massive shift. Brands that don't adapt will lose mindshare at the point of research and decision-making.Kerry Curran, RBMA (22:06.307)That's excellent. It's something all brands are going to need to prioritize as search behavior expands beyond just Google.So this has been great, Mark. Thank you so much for sharing so many practical insights and tools. For people who want to get in touch with you and learn more about your services, where should they go?Mark Goloboy (22:29.454)They can email me directly at mark@marketgrowthconsulting.com—I'm very functional with my branding: market growth consulting is what I do!Or you can find me on LinkedIn—I'm easy to find with my unique last name.Kerry Curran, RBMA (22:46.541)Awesome. We'll put that in the show notes too.

In this episode, Pallavi Koppol, Research Scientist at Databricks, explores the importance of domain-specific intelligence in large language models (LLMs). She discusses how enterprises need models tailored to their unique jargon, data, and tasks rather than relying solely on general benchmarks.Highlights include:- Why benchmarking LLMs for domain-specific tasks is critical for enterprise AI.- An introduction to the Databricks Intelligence Benchmarking Suite (DIBS).- Evaluating models on real-world applications like RAG, text-to-JSON, and function calling.- The evolving landscape of open-source vs. closed-source LLMs.- How industry and academia can collaborate to improve AI benchmarking.

This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AI) Podcast
In this episode, Kelly Hong, a researcher at Chroma, joins us to discuss "Generative Benchmarking," a novel approach to evaluating retrieval systems, like RAG applications, using synthetic data. Kelly explains how traditional benchmarks like MTEB fail to represent real-world query patterns and how embedding models that perform well on public benchmarks often underperform in production. The conversation explores the two-step process of Generative Benchmarking: filtering documents to focus on relevant content and generating queries that mimic actual user behavior. Kelly shares insights from applying this approach to Weights & Biases' technical support bot, revealing how domain-specific evaluation provides more accurate assessments of embedding model performance. We also discuss the importance of aligning LLM judges with human preferences, the impact of chunking strategies on retrieval effectiveness, and how production queries differ from benchmark queries in ambiguity and style. Throughout the episode, Kelly emphasizes the need for systematic evaluation approaches that go beyond "vibe checks" to help developers build more effective RAG applications.

Freedom Dumlao (CTO at Vestmark) joins Robby to explore what it means to maintain software at scale—and why teams sometimes need to unlearn the hype.With two decades of experience supporting financial systems, Freedom shares how his team manages a Java monolith that oversees $1.6 trillion in assets. But what's most surprising? His story of how a team working on 70+ microservices rebuilt their platform as a single Ruby on Rails monolith—and started shipping faster than ever before.Episode Highlights[00:02:00] Why Respecting Legacy Code MattersFreedom reflects on a lesson he learned at Amazon: "Respect what came before." He discusses the value of honoring the decisions of past developers—especially when their context is unknown.[00:05:00] How Tests Help (and Where They Don't)Freedom discusses how tests can clarify system behavior but not always intent—especially when market logic or business-specific rules come into play.[00:07:00] The Value of Understudies in EngineeringFreedom shares how his team intentionally pairs subject matter experts with understudies to reduce risk and transfer knowledge.[00:09:30] Rethinking Technical DebtHe challenges the fear-based framing of technical debt, comparing it instead to a strategic mortgage.[00:17:00] From 70 Services to 1 MonolithAt FlexCar, Freedom led an unconventional rewrite—consolidating 70 Java microservices into a single Rails app. The result? A dramatic increase in velocity and ownership.[00:25:00] Choosing Rails Over Phoenix, Laravel, and DjangoAfter evaluating multiple frameworks, Rails' cohesiveness, Hotwire, and quick developer ramp-up made it the clear winner—even converting skeptical team members.[00:31:00] How Rails Changed Team DynamicsBy reducing dependency handoffs, the new Rails app enabled solo engineers to own complete features. The impact? Faster delivery and more engaged developers.[00:36:30] Why Rails Still Makes Sense at a 20-Year-Old CompanyEven with a large Java codebase, Vestmark uses Rails for rapid prototyping and new product development.[00:41:00] Using AI to Navigate Legacy SystemsFreedom explains how his team uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to surface relevant code—but also the limitations of AI on older or less common codebases.[00:51:00] Seek Feedback, Not ConsensusFreedom explains why aiming for alignment slows teams down—and how decision-makers can be inclusive without waiting for full agreement.Links and ResourcesFreedom Dumlao on LinkedInVestmarkNo Rules RulesDungeon Crawler Carl seriesThanks to Our Sponsor!Turn hours of debugging into just minutes!

This bonus episode of Founded & Funded is a follow-up to Madrona Partner Jon Turow's conversation with Douwe Kiela, CEO of Contextual AI and co-inventor of RAG. In this quick chat, they dive into: 1) Why storytelling—not just GTM—needs to be vertical2) How to build a platform by showing what's possible3) The tension between “doing one thing well” vs. building the whole stack 4) Multimodal content moderation at Meta & what it taught Douwe This 10-minute post-show chat is a must-listen for founders thinking deeply about where to plant your flag — and when to break the rules.
On this week's episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a pair of fantastic songwriters and friends who travel in the same musical circles, and who've both released disarmingly charming records recently: Clairo and Hannah Cohen. Clairo has been making music since she was a teen, and her songs and sounds have a remarkable depth and breadth of influence, from ‘70s soft-rock to more worldly sounds. Her early viral success pointed to a pop-star trajectory, but Clairo always seems to choose a more interesting sonic path over the more obvious one. Her third album, Charm, came out last year, and it leans into a bit of slinky groove more than she had in the past. Check out the song "Juna" right here. The other half of today's conversation is Hannah Cohen, who tapped a bunch of cool guests—including Clairo—to help out on her new album. Earthstar Mountain is Cohen's first in more than five years, and you can hear the care she put into it: It's an understated but deeply considered ode to her surroundings, the Catskills—and it sounds like that area feels. She made the record with her partner Sam Evian—a Talkhouse alum himself—at their upstate New York studio, Flying Cloud. It doesn't sound rushed, which is a topic you'll hear in this chat. In addition to Clairo, it features a guest appearance from Sufjan Stevens. Check out the song “Rag” right here. These two friends get right into a delightful chat that covers Cohen's record, including the mushroom that inspired its title. They also chat about how working on music with your romantic partner can be its own form of therapy, and they get deep into soundtracks toward the end, tossing around the idea of making one, even without a movie to hang it on. Enjoy.

In this episode, we sit down with Aaron Levie, CEO and co-founder of Box, for a wide-ranging conversation that's equal parts insightful, technical, and fun. We kick things off with a candid discussion about what it's like to be a public company CEO during times of volatility, and then rewind to the early days of Box — from dorm room experiments to cold emailing Mark Cuban and dropping out of college.From there, we dive deep into how AI is transforming the enterprise. Aaron shares how Box is layering AI agents, RAG systems, and model orchestration on top of decades of enterprise content infrastructure — and why “95% of enterprise data is underutilized.”We explore what's actually working with AI in production, what's still breaking, and how companies can avoid common pitfalls. From building hubs for document-specific RAG to thinking through agent-to-agent interoperability, Aaron unpacks the architecture of Box's AI platform — and why they're staying out of the model training wars entirely. We also dig into AI culture inside large organizations, the trade-offs of going public, and why Levie believes every enterprise interface is about to change.Whether you're a founder, engineer, enterprise buyer, or just trying to figure out how AI agents will reshape knowledge work, this conversation is full of practical insights and candid takes from one of the sharpest minds in tech.BoxWebsite - https://www.box.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/BoxAaron LevieLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/boxaaronX/Twitter - https://x.com/levieFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro(01:51) Navigating uncertainty as a public company CEO(14:48) The Box origin story: college, cold emails, and Mark Cuban(23:39) Cloud transformation vs. the AI wave(30:15) The reality of AI in the enterprise: proof of concept vs. deployment(34:37) Inside Box's AI platform: Hubs, agents, and more(44:15) Why Box won't build its own model (and the dangers of fine-tuning)(51:51) What's working — and what's not — with AI agents(1:04:42) Building an AI culture at Box(1:13:22) The future of enterprise software and Box's roadmap
Attorney, award winning blogger and AI expert Ralph Losey's curated and vetted podcast features his Anonymous Podcasters as they do a deep dive on Ralph's EDRM blog post, "Custom GPTs: Why Constant Updating Is Essential for Relevance and Performance." The podcasters dig into Ralph's post on what a GPT is, and how the rapid acceleration of LLM model introduction impacts the viability of GPT's to keep working appropriately. Behavioral tuning, like what the GPT's purpose is, and what to avoid is explained. They delve into RAG, and custom knowledge to improve results and reduce hallucinations. The podcasters emphasize that the quality of what is uploaded (private knowledge) must be evaluated along with the LLM update. They review the Visual Muse, AI Speaks to Seniors and other GPTs created by Ralph, looking at the Visual Muse as Ralph's collaborator.
Thoughtworks Technology Radar Vol.32 was published at the start of April 2025. Featuring 105 blips, it offered a timely snapshot of what's interesting and important in the industry. Through the process of putting it together, we also identify a collection of key themes that speak to the things that shaped our conversations. This time, there were four: supervised agents in coding assistants, evolving observability, the R in RAG and taming the data frontier. We think they point to some of the key challenges and issues that industry as a whole is currently grappling with. To dig deeper and explore what they tell us about software in 2025, regular host Neal Ford takes the guest seat alongside Birgitta Böckeler to talk to Lilly Ryan and Prem Chandrasekaran. They explain how the themes are identified and discuss their wider implications. Read the latest volume of the Thoughtworks Technology Radar: https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s… Christopher S. Penn – 00:02 Talk about RAG—Retrieval augmented generation. Christopher S. Penn – 00:06 What is it? Christopher S. Penn – 00:07 Why do we care about it? Christopher S. Penn – 00:09 So Katie, I know you’re going in kind of blind on this. What do you know about retrieval augmented generation? Katie Robbert – 00:17 I knew we were going to be talking about this, but I purposely didn’t do any research because I wanted to see how much I thought I understood already just based on. So if I take apart just even the words Retrieval augmented generation, I think retrieval means it has… Katie Robbert – 00:41 To go find something augmented, meaning it’s… Katie Robbert – 00:44 Going to add on to something existing and then generation means it’s going to do something. So it’s going to find data added on to the whatever is existing, whatever that is, and then create something. So that’s my basic. But obviously, that doesn’t mean anything. So we have to put it in… Katie Robbert – 01:05 The context of generative AI. Katie Robbert – 01:07 So what am I missing? Christopher S. Penn – 01:09 Believe it or not, you’re not missing a whole lot. That’s actually a good encapsulation. Happy Monday. Retrieval augmented generation is a system for bringing in contextual knowledge to a prompt so that generative AI can do a better job. Probably one of the most well-known and easiest-to-use systems like this is Google’s free NotebookLM where you just put in a bunch of documents. It does all the work—the technical stuff of tokenization and embeddings and all that stuff. And then you can chat with your documents and say, ‘Well, what’s in this?’ In our examples, we’ve used the letters from the corner office books that we’ve written every year, and those are all of your cold opens from the newsletter. Christopher S. Penn – 01:58 And so you can go to a notebook and say, ‘What has Katie written about the five Ps?’ And it will list an exhaustive list. Christopher S. Penn – 02:07 Behind the scenes, there’s a bunch of… Christopher S. Penn – 02:10 Technical things that are going on. There is a database of some kind. There is a querying system that your generative AI tool knows to ask the database, and then you can constrain the system. So you can say, ‘I only want you to use this database,’ or you can use this database plus your other knowledge that you’ve already been trained on. Christopher S. Penn – 02:34 What’s important to know is that retrieval augmented generation, at least out-of-the-box, goes when you write that first prompt. Essentially what it does is it copies and pastes the relevant information for the database back into the prompt and then sends that onto the system. Christopher S. Penn – 02:48 So it all in a vanilla retrieval augmented generation system… Christopher S. Penn – 02:53 It only queries the database once. Katie Robbert – 02:56 So it sounds a lot like prior to generative AI being a thing, back when Chris, you and I were struggling through the coal mines of big enterprise companies. It sounds a lot like when my company was like, ‘Hey, we… Katie Robbert – 03:15 ‘Just got SharePoint and we’re going to… Katie Robbert – 03:17 ‘Build an intranet that’s going to be a data repository for everything, basically like an internal wiki.’ And it makes me cringe. Katie Robbert – 03:26 Every time I hear someone say the… Katie Robbert – 03:27 Word wiki meaning, like a Wikipedia, which is almost like what I—I can’t think of the word. Oh my God, it’s been so long. Katie Robbert – 03:43 All of those books that… Katie Robbert – 03:45 You look up things in encyclopedia. Katie Robbert – 03:47 Thank you. Katie Robbert – 03:48 Oh, my goodness. But it becomes like that internal encyclopedia of knowledge about your company or whatever. The thing is that topic, like there’s fandom, Wikipedias, and that kind of thing. In a very basic way, it kind of… Katie Robbert – 04:04 Sounds like that where you say, ‘Here’s all the information about one specific thing.’ Katie Robbert – 04:10 Now you can query it. Christopher S. Penn – 04:14 In many ways. It kind of is what separates it from older legacy databases and systems. Is that because you’re prompting in natural language, you don’t have to know how to write a SQL query. Christopher S. Penn – 04:27 You can just say, ‘We’re going to talk about this.’ And ideally, a RAG system is configured with relevant data from your data store. So if you have a SharePoint, for example, and you have Microsoft Copilot and… Christopher S. Penn – 04:42 You have Microsoft Knowledge Graph and you… Christopher S. Penn – 04:43 Have—you swiped the credit card so many times for Microsoft that you basically have a Microsoft-only credit card—then Copilot should be aware of all the documents in your Office 365 environment and in your SharePoint and stuff. And then be able to say, ‘Okay, Katie’s asking about accounting receipts from 2023.’ And it’s vectorized and converted all the knowledge into the specific language, the specific format that generative AI requires. And then when you write the prompt… Christopher S. Penn – 05:21 ‘Show me the accounting receipts that Chris… Christopher S. Penn – 05:23 ‘Filed from 2023, because I’m looking for inappropriate purchases like he charged $280 to McDonald’s.’ It would be able to go and… Christopher S. Penn – 05:33 Find the associated content within your internal… Christopher S. Penn – 05:36 Knowledge base and return and say, ‘Chris did in fact spend $80 at McDonald’s and we’re not sure why.’ Katie Robbert – 05:43 Nobody knows. Christopher S. Penn – 05:44 Nobody knows. Katie Robbert – 05:45 Well, okay, so retrieval augmented generation basically sounds like a system, a database that says, ‘This is the information I’m allowed to query.’ So someone’s going to ask me a… Katie Robbert – 06:01 Question and I’m going to bring it… Katie Robbert – 06:02 Back. At a very basic level, how is that different from a search engine where you ask a question, it brings back information, or a generative AI… Katie Robbert – 06:14 System now, such as a ChatGPT or… Katie Robbert – 06:16 A Google Gemini, where you say, ‘What are the best practices for SEO in 2025?’ How is this—how is retrieval augmented generation different than how we think about working with generative AI today? Christopher S. Penn – 06:33 Fundamentally, a RAG system is different because… Christopher S. Penn – 06:36 You are providing the data store and… Christopher S. Penn – 06:38 You may be constraining the AI to… Christopher S. Penn – 06:40 Say, ‘You may only use this information,’ or ‘You may—you should use this information first.’ Christopher S. Penn – 06:47 So let’s say, for example, to your… Christopher S. Penn – 06:48 Point, I want to write a blog post about project management and how to be an effective project manager. And I had a system like Pinecone or Weaviate or Milvus connected to the AI system of our choice, and in that was all the blog posts and newsletters you’ve ever written in the system configuration itself. I might say for any prompts that we pass this thing, ‘You can only use Katie’s newsletters.’ Or I might say, ‘You should use Katie’s newsletters first.’ So if I say, ‘Write a blog post about project management,’ it would refer… Christopher S. Penn – 07:25 To your knowledge first and draw from that first. And then if it couldn’t complete the… Christopher S. Penn – 07:29 Task, you would then go to its own knowledge or outside to other sources. So it’s a way of prioritizing certain kinds of information. Where you say, ‘This is the way I want it to be done.’ If you think about the Repel framework or the RACE framework that we use for prompting that context, or that priming… Christopher S. Penn – 07:47 Part is the RAG system. So instead of us saying, ‘What do… Christopher S. Penn – 07:50 ‘Know about this topic? What are the best practices? What are the common mistakes?’ Instead, you’re saying, ‘Here’s a whole big pile of data. Pick and choose from it the stuff that you think is most relevant, and then use that for the rest of the conversation.’ Katie Robbert – 08:04 And if you’re interested in learning more about the Repel framework, you can get… Katie Robbert – 08:08 That at TrustInsights.ai/repel. Now, okay, as I’m trying to wrap my head around this, how is retrieval augmented generation different from creating a custom… Katie Robbert – 08:22 Model with a knowledge base? Katie Robbert – 08:24 Or is it the same thing? Christopher S. Penn – 08:26 That’s the same thing, but at a much larger scale. When you create something like a GPT where you upload documents, there’s a limit. Christopher S. Penn – 08:34 It’s 10 megabytes per file, and I… Christopher S. Penn – 08:36 Think it’s 10 or either 10 or 20 files. So there’s a limit to how much data you can cram into that. If, for example, you wanted to make a system that would accurately respond about US Tax code is a massive database of laws. Christopher S. Penn – 08:51 It is. If I remember, there was once this visualization. Somebody put—printed out the US Tax code and put it on a huge table. The table collapsed because it was so heavy, and it was hundreds of thousands of pages. You can’t put that in knowledge—in knowledge files. There’s just too much of it. But what you can do is you could download it, put it into this one of these retrieval augmented generation databases. Christopher S. Penn – 09:15 And then say, ‘When I ask you… Christopher S. Penn – 09:17 ‘Tax questions, you may only use this database.’ Christopher S. Penn – 09:20 And so out of the hundreds of millions of pages of tax code, if I say, ‘How do I declare an exemption on Form 8829?’ It will go into that specific knowledge base and fish out the relevant portion. So think of it like NotebookLM with an unlimited amount of data you can upload. Katie Robbert – 09:41 So it sounds like a couple of things. One, it sounds like in order to use retrieval augmented generation correctly, you have… Katie Robbert – 09:49 To have some kind of expertise around what it is you’re going to query. Otherwise, you’re basically at a general Internet… Katie Robbert – 09:57 Search saying, ‘How do I get exemptions from tax, Form 8829?’ It’s just going to look for everything because you’re looking for everything because you don’t know specifically. Otherwise, you would have said, ‘Bring me to the U.S. Tax database…’ Katie Robbert – 10:17 ‘That specifically talks about Form 8820.’ You would have known that already. Katie Robbert – 10:23 So it sounds like, number one, you can’t get around again with—we talked about every week—there has to be some kind of subject matter expertise in order to make these things work. Katie Robbert – 10:36 And then number two, you have to have some way to give the system a knowledge block or access to the… Katie Robbert – 10:44 Information in order for it to be true. Retrieval augmented generation. Katie Robbert – 10:49 I keep saying it in the hopes that the words will stick. It’s almost like when you meet someone. Katie Robbert – 10:53 And you keep saying their name over and over again in the hopes that you’ll remember it. I’m hoping that I’m going to remember the phrase retrieval… Katie Robbert – 11:01 Just call it RAG, but I need to know what it stands for. Christopher S. Penn – 11:04 Yes. Katie Robbert – 11:05 Okay, so those are the two things that it sounds like need to be true. So if I’m your everyday marketer, which I am, I’m not overly technical. I understand technical theories and I understand technical practices. But if I’m not necessarily a power user of generative AI like you are, Chris, what are some—why do I need to understand what retrieval augmented generation is? How would I use this thing? Christopher S. Penn – 11:32 For the general marketer, there is not… Christopher S. Penn – 11:35 As many use cases for RAG as… Christopher S. Penn – 11:37 There is for others. So let me give you a really good example of where it is a prime use case. You are a healthcare system. You have patient data. You cannot load that to NotebookLM, but you absolutely could create a RAG system internally and then allow—within your own secured network—doctors to query all of the medical records to say, ‘Have we seen a case like this before? Hey, this person came in with these symptoms.’ Christopher S. Penn – 12:03 ‘What else have we seen?’ Christopher S. Penn – 12:04 ‘Are there similar outcomes that we can… Christopher S. Penn – 12:07 ‘We can go back and use as… Christopher S. Penn – 12:08 Sort of your own internal knowledge base with data that has to be protected. For the average marketing, I’m writing a social media post. You’re not going to use RAG because there’s no point in doing that. If you had confidential information or proprietary information that you did not feel comfortable loading into a NotebookLM, then a RAG system would make sense. So if you were to say maybe you have a new piece of software that your company is going to be rolling out and the developers actually did their job and wrote documentation and you didn’t want Google to be aware of it—wow, I know we’re in science fiction land here—you might load that to a RAG system, say, ‘Now let me help me… Christopher S. Penn – 12:48 ‘Write social posts about the features of… Christopher S. Penn – 12:50 ‘This new product and I don’t want anyone else to know about it.’ So super secret that even no matter what our contracts and service level agreements say, I just can’t put this in. Or I’m an agency and I’m working with client data and our contract says we may not use third parties. Regardless of the reason, no matter how safe you think it is, your contract says you cannot use third party. So you would build a RAG system internally for that client data and then query it because your contract says you can’t use NotebookLM. Katie Robbert – 13:22 Is it a RAG system if I… Katie Robbert – 13:26 Create a custom model with my brand… Katie Robbert – 13:28 Guidelines and my tone and use that model to outline content even though I’m searching the rest of the Internet for my top five best practices for SEO, but written as Katie Robbert from Trust Insights? Is it… Christopher S. Penn – 13:49 In a way, but it doesn’t use the… Christopher S. Penn – 13:51 Full functionality of a RAG system. Christopher S. Penn – 13:53 It doesn’t have the vector database underlying and stuff like that. From an outcome perspective, it’s the same thing. You get the outcome you want, which is prefer my stuff first. I mean, that’s really fundamentally what Retrieval Augmented Generation is about. It’s us saying, ‘Hey, AI model, you don’t understand this topic well.’ Like, if you were writing content about SEO and you notice that AI is spitting out SEO tips from 2012, you’re like, ‘Okay, clearly you don’t know SEO as well as we do.’ You might use a RAG system to say, ‘This is what we know to be true about SEO in 2025.’ Christopher S. Penn – 14:34 ‘You may only use this information because… Christopher S. Penn – 14:36 ‘I don’t trust that you’re going to do it right.’ Katie Robbert – 14:41 It’s interesting because what you’re describing sounds—and this is again, I’m just trying to wrap my brain around it. Katie Robbert – 14:48 It sounds a lot like giving a knowledge block to a custom model. Christopher S. Penn – 14:53 And it very much is. Katie Robbert – 14:54 Okay. Because I’m like, ‘Am I missing something?’ And I feel like when we start to use proper terminology like retrieval augmented generation, that’s where the majority of… Katie Robbert – 15:05 Us get nervous of like, ‘Oh, no, it’s something new that I have to try to understand.’ Katie Robbert – 15:09 But really, it’s what we’ve been doing all along. We’re just now understanding the proper terminology. Katie Robbert – 15:16 For something and that it does have… Katie Robbert – 15:18 More advanced features and capabilities. But for your average marketer, or maybe even your advanced marketer, you’re not going… Katie Robbert – 15:28 To need to use a retrieval augmented generation system to its full capacity, because… Katie Robbert – 15:34 That’s just not the nature of the work that you’re doing. And that’s what I’m trying to understand is it sounds like for marketers, for B2B marketers, B2C marketers, even operations, even project managers, sales teams, the everyday, you probably don’t need a RAG system. Katie Robbert – 15:59 I am thinking now, as I’m saying… Katie Robbert – 16:00 It out loud, if you have a sales playbook, that might be something that would be good proprietary to your company. Here’s how we do awareness. Katie Robbert – 16:12 Here’s how we do consideration, here’s how… Katie Robbert – 16:14 We close deals, here’s the… Katie Robbert – 16:16 Special pricing for certain people whose name end in Y and, on Tuesdays they get a purple discount. Katie Robbert – 16:23 And whatever the thing is, that is. Katie Robbert – 16:26 The information that you would want to load into, like a NotebookLM system. Katie Robbert – 16:30 Keep it off of public channels, and use that as your retrieval augmented generation system as you’re training new salespeople, as people are on the… Katie Robbert – 16:41 Fly closing, ‘Oh, wow, I have 20 deals in front of me and I… Katie Robbert – 16:43 ‘Can’t remember what six discount… Katie Robbert – 16:46 ‘Codes we’re offering on Thursdays. Let me go ahead and query the system as I’m talking and get the information.’ Katie Robbert – 16:51 Is that more of a realistic use case? Christopher S. Penn – 16:55 To a degree, yes. Christopher S. Penn – 16:57 Think about it. The knowledge block is perfect because we provide those knowledge blocks. We write up, ‘Here’s what Trust Insights is, here’s who it does.’ Think of a RAG system as a system that can generate a relevant knowledge block dynamically on the fly. Christopher S. Penn – 17:10 So for folks who don’t know, every Monday and Friday, Trust Insights, we have an internal checkpoint call. We check—go through all of our clients and stuff like that. And we record those; we have the transcripts of those. That’s a lot. That’s basically an hour-plus of audio every week. It’s 6,000 words. And on those calls, we discuss everything from our dogs to sales things. I would never want to try to include all 500 transcripts of the company into an AI prompt. Christopher S. Penn – 17:40 It would just blow up. Christopher S. Penn – 17:41 Even the biggest model today, even Meta Llama’s… Christopher S. Penn – 17:44 New 10 million token context window, it would just explode. I would create a database, a RAG system that would create all the relevant embeddings and things and put that there. And then when I say, ‘What neat… Christopher S. Penn – 17:57 ‘Marketing ideas have we come up with… Christopher S. Penn – 17:58 ‘In the last couple of years?’ It would go into the database and… Christopher S. Penn – 18:02 Fish out only the pieces that are relevant to marketing ideas. Christopher S. Penn – 18:05 Because a RAG system is controlled by… Christopher S. Penn – 18:08 The quality of the prompt you use. Christopher S. Penn – 18:10 It would then fish out from all 500 transcripts marketing ideas, and it would… Christopher S. Penn – 18:16 Essentially build the knowledge block on the… Christopher S. Penn – 18:18 Fly, jam it into the prompt at… Christopher S. Penn – 18:20 The end, and then that goes into… Christopher S. Penn – 18:22 Your AI system model of choice. And if it’s Chat GPT or Gemini or whatever, it will then spit out, ‘Hey, based on five years’ worth of Trust Insights sales and weekly calls, here are the ideas that you came up with.’ So that’s a really good example of where that RAG system would come into play. If you have, for example… Christopher S. Penn – 18:43 A quarterly strategic retreat of all your… Christopher S. Penn – 18:46 Executives and you have days and days of audio and you’re like, at the end of your… Christopher S. Penn – 18:52 Three-year plan, ‘How do we do… Christopher S. Penn – 18:53 ‘With our three-year master strategy?’ You would load all that into a RAG system, say, ‘What are the main strategic ideas we came up with over the last three years?’ And it’d be able to spit that out. And then you could have a conversation with just that knowledge block that it generated by itself. Katie Robbert – 19:09 You can’t bring up these… Katie Robbert – 19:11 Ideas on these podcast recordings and then… Katie Robbert – 19:13 Not actually build them for me. That, because these are really good use cases. And I’m like, ‘Okay, yeah, so where’s that thing? I need that.’ But what you’re doing is you’re giving that real-world demonstration of when a retrieval augmented generation system is actually applicable. Katie Robbert – 19:34 When is it not applicable? I think that’s equally as important. Katie Robbert – 19:37 We’ve talked a little bit about, oh, if you’re writing a blog post or that kind of thing. Katie Robbert – 19:41 You probably don’t need it. Katie Robbert – 19:42 But where—I guess maybe, let me rephrase. Katie Robbert – 19:45 Where do you see people using those… Katie Robbert – 19:47 Systems incorrectly or inefficiently? Christopher S. Penn – 19:50 They use them for things where there’s public data. So for example, almost every generative AI system now has web search built into it. So if you’re saying, ‘What are the best practices for SEO in 2025?’ You don’t need a separate database for that. Christopher S. Penn – 20:07 You don’t need the overhead, the administration, and stuff. Christopher S. Penn – 20:10 Just when a simple web query would have done, you don’t need it to assemble knowledge blocks that are relatively static. So for example, maybe you want to do a wrap-up of SEO best practices in 2025. So you go to Google deep research and OpenAI deep research and Perplexity Deep Research and you get some reports and you merge them together. You don’t need a RAG system for that. These other tools have stepped in. Christopher S. Penn – 20:32 To provide that synthesis for you, which… Christopher S. Penn – 20:34 We cover in our new generative AI use cases course, which you can find at Trust Insights AI Use cases course. I think we have a banner for that somewhere. I think it’s at the bottom in those cases. Yeah, you don’t need a RAG system for that because you’re providing the knowledge block. Christopher S. Penn – 20:51 A RAG system is necessary when you… Christopher S. Penn – 20:52 Have too much knowledge to put into a knowledge block. When you don’t have that problem, you don’t need a RAG system. And if the data is out there on the Internet, don’t reinvent the wheel. Katie Robbert – 21:08 But shiny objects and differentiators. Katie Robbert – 21:12 And competitive advantage and smart things. Christopher S. Penn – 21:16 I mean, people do talk about agentic RAG where you have AI agents repeatedly querying the database for improvements, which there are use cases for that. One of the biggest use cases for that is encoding, where you have a really big system, you load all of your code into your own internal RAG, and then you can have your coding agents reference your own code, figure out what code is in your code base, and then make changes to it that way. That’s a good use of that type of system. But for the average marketer, that is ridiculous. There’s no reason to that. That’s like taking your fighter jet to the grocery store. It’s vast overkill. When a bicycle would have done just fine. Katie Robbert – 22:00 When I hear the term agentic retrieval augmented generation system, I think of that image of the snake eating its tail because it’s just going to go around… Katie Robbert – 22:11 And around and around and around forever. Christopher S. Penn – 22:15 It’s funny you mentioned that because that’s a whole other topic. The Ouroboros—the snake eating scale—is a topic that maybe we’ll cover on a future show about how new models like Llama 4 that just came out on Saturday, how they’re being trained, they’re… Christopher S. Penn – 22:30 Being trained on their own synthetic data. So it really is. The Ouroboros is consuming its own tail. And there’s some interesting implications for that. Christopher S. Penn – 22:36 But that’s another show. Katie Robbert – 22:38 Yeah, I already have some gut reactions to that. So we can certainly make sure we get that episode recorded. That’s next week’s show. All right, so it sounds like for everyday use, you don’t necessarily need to… Katie Robbert – 22:54 Worry about having a retrieval augmented generation system in place. What you should have is knowledge blocks. Katie Robbert – 23:01 About what’s proprietary to your company, what you guys do, who you are, that kind of stuff that in… Katie Robbert – 23:08 And of itself is good enough. Katie Robbert – 23:10 To give to any generative AI system to say, ‘I want you to look at this information.’ That’s a good start. If you have proprietary data like personally identifying information, patient information, customer information—that’s where you would probably want to build… Katie Robbert – 23:27 More of a true retrieval augmented generation… Katie Robbert – 23:30 System so that you’re querying only that… Katie Robbert – 23:32 Information in a controlled environment. Christopher S. Penn – 23:35 Yep. Christopher S. Penn – 23:36 And on this week’s Livestream, we’re going… Christopher S. Penn – 23:37 To cover a couple of different systems. So we’ll look at NotebookLM and… Christopher S. Penn – 23:42 That should be familiar to everyone. Christopher S. Penn – 23:43 If it’s not, it needs to get on your radar. Soon. We’ll look at anythingLLM, which is how you can build a RAG system that is essentially no tech setup on your own laptop, assuming your laptop can run those systems. And then we can talk about setting up like a Pinecone or Weaviate or a Milvus for an organization. Because there are RAG systems you can run locally on your computer that are unique to you and those are actually a really good idea, and you can talk about that on the livestream. But then there’s the institutional version, which has much higher overhead for administration. But as we talked about in the use cases in this episode, there may be really good reasons to do that. Katie Robbert – 24:22 And if you are interested in that… Katie Robbert – 24:24 Livestream, that’ll be Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern. Katie Robbert – 24:27 You can catch us on our YouTube channel, Trust Insights. Trust Insights AI YouTube and unsurprisingly, Chris. Katie Robbert – 24:34 I’m assuming we’re going to start with the 5P framework, because before you start building things, you probably have to have… Katie Robbert – 24:40 A good solid understanding of why you’re building it, how you’re going to build… Katie Robbert – 24:46 It, how it’s going to be used. Katie Robbert – 24:47 So if you’re a fan of the 5Ps like I am, tune in because… Katie Robbert – 24:51 We’ll be covering that first. Christopher S. Penn – 24:52 Exactly. Because there’s a very good sort of flowchart. Do you need RAG, yes or no? That before you start with the technology? Because like we said in this episode… Christopher S. Penn – 25:02 There’s a lot of places where it… Christopher S. Penn – 25:03 Just it’s overkill or it doesn’t make any sense to do it. All right, so if you’ve got some things you want to share about your experiences with RAG or you have questions about retrieval augmented generation, pop on by our free Slack group.

This week, we sit down with Sam Flynn, COO and co-founder of Josef, to separate substance from hype in the rapidly evolving world of legal tech. Sam shares his passionate stance that “RAG is not dead,” defending Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) as a foundational and still deeply relevant method for deploying AI in the legal industry—despite the flashy allure of agentic AI. His nuanced take reminds listeners that success in this space depends not only on the sophistication of the technology, but on doing the “boring” foundational work: ensuring data integrity, context-aware chunking, and responsible workflows.Throughout the discussion, Sam champions the idea that great legal technology should not just enhance expert workflows but make legal information accessible to non-experts. With examples from Josef's clients like L'Oréal, Bumble, and Bupa, Sam illustrates how Josef's tools allow legal departments to offload routine work through reliable self-service systems—freeing up time for more strategic thinking while improving speed, compliance, and consistency across organizations. He makes the case that empowering end users with trustworthy tools isn't just good tech—it's a new model for scaling legal and compliance services.A key highlight is Josef's Roxanne project, developed in collaboration with Housing Court Answers and NYU. Roxanne is an AI-powered tool designed to help tenants in New York navigate the complexities of housing law. Sam outlines the safeguards that ensure Roxanne's answers are accurate and compliant, such as closed-domain data sources, human-in-the-loop validation, and smart escalation workflows. The conversation touches on the broader access to justice (A2J) implications of this technology—arguing that when designed carefully, AI can amplify the reach and impact of legal aid organizations by orders of magnitude.The episode doesn't shy away from the tensions legal professionals feel when automation enters their domain. Sam offers a powerful reframing: instead of seeing these tools as a threat, lawyers should view them as opportunities to offload low-value tasks and expand their influence. The goal, he says, is not to cut jobs—but to redefine the kind of work legal professionals do, making space for more proactive, strategic, and meaningful engagements within organizations and communities.As the conversation wraps, Sam shares his optimism about the future—tempered by a clear-eyed understanding of the human factors that will determine success. While the technology is ready, the question is whether legal professionals will step up and take the lead. His call to action is clear: focus less on the hype, and more on the systems, safety, and trust that make tech transformative. Whether you're a legal technologist, innovator, or cautious observer, this episode offers a grounded and inspiring look at what it takes to build legal tech that actually works.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeSpecial Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.

Renegade Thinkers Unite: #2 Podcast for CMOs & B2B Marketers
GenAI has moved past the “what if” stage. Now it's more like, “what else can we use this for?” And that change in mindset is reshaping the day-to-day—from big-picture strategy to the smallest tasks. In this episode, Drew Neisser talks with Karen Feldman (Iron Mountain), Adriana Gil Miner (Iterable), and Jeff Morgan (Elements), three marketing leaders who've made GenAI part of their daily toolkit. They're applying GenAI to content engines, campaign strategy, customer journeys—and they're seeing results that are hard to ignore. Here's what you'll hear: How IBM used Adobe Firefly to produce 10x more content and beat campaign benchmarks by 26x. The Iterable ad challenge that doubled demo requests and surfaced unexpected creative talent. Why GenAI is showing up in customer journeys, sales enablement, and day-to-day ops. How small teams are using tools like Descript, RAG, and custom GPTs to scale smartly. What it looks like when AI becomes a creative partner, not just a shortcut. Plus: How to steer clear of the GenAI “sea of sameness” Why personalization at scale is finally within reach The shift from doing more to doing better If you're trying to move from GenAI curiosity to confident action, this one's worth a listen.

It's official: AI has arrived and, from here on out, will be a part of our world. So how do we begin to learn how to coexist with our new artificial coworkers? Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and the author of Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI. The book acts as a guide to readers navigating the new world of AI and explores how we might work alongside AI. He and Greg discuss the benefits of anthropomorphizing AI, the real impact the technology could have on employment, and how we can learn to co-work and co-learn with AI. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The result of an experiment identifying the impact of GEN AI07:35 We went to the Boston Consulting Group, one of the elite consulting companies, and we gave them 18 realistic business tasks we created with them and these were judged to be very realistic. They were used to do actual evaluations of people in interviews and so on. And we got about 8 percent of the global workforce of BCG, which is a significant investment. And we had them do these tasks first on their own without AI, and then we had them do a second set of tasks either with or without AI. So, random selection to those two. The people who got access to AI, and by the way, this is just plain vanilla GPT-4 as of last April. No special fine-tuning, no extra details, no special interface, no RAG, nothing else. And they had a 40 percent improvement in the quality of their outputs on every measure that we had. We got work done about 25 percent faster, about 12.5 percent more work done in the same time period. Pretty big results in a pretty small period of time. Is AI taking over our jobs?20:30 The ultimate question is: How good does AI get, and how long does it take to get that good? And I think if we knew the answer to that question, which we don't, that would teach us a lot about what jobs to think about and worry about.Will there be a new data war where different LLM and Gen AI providers chase proprietary data?11:17 I don't know whether this becomes like a data fight in that way because the open internet has tons of data on it, and people don't seem to be paying for permission to train on those. I think we'll see more specialized training data potentially in the future, but things like conversations, YouTube videos, podcasts are also useful data sources. So the whole idea of LLMs is that they use unsupervised learning. You throw all this data at them; they figure out the patterns.Could public data be polluted by junk and bad actors?16:39 Data quality is obviously going to be an issue for these systems. There are lots of ways of deceiving them, of hacking them, of working like a bad actor. I don't necessarily think it's going to be by poisoning the datasets themselves because the datasets are the Internet, Project Gutenberg, and Wikipedia. They're pretty resistant to that kind of mass poisoning, but I think data quality is an issue we should be concerned about.Show Links:Recommended Resources:“Navigating the Jagged Technological Frontier: Field Experimental Evidence of the Effects of AI on Knowledge Worker Productivity and Quality” | Harvard Business SchoolGeoffrey HintonProject GutenbergGemini AI“Google's Gemini Controversy Explained: AI Model Criticized By Musk And Others Over Alleged Bias” | ForbesDevin AI Karim LakhaniGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of PennsylvaniaHis Work:Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI
