Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a dominant architecture in modern AI deployments, and in this episode, we sit down with Douwe Kiela, who co-authored the original RAG paper in 2020. Douwe is now the founder and CEO of Contextual AI, a startup focusing on helping enterprises deploy RAG as an agentic system. We start the conversation with Douwe's thoughts on the very latest advancements in Generative AI, including GPT 4.5, DeepSeek and the exciting paradigm shift towards test time compute, as well as the US-China rivalry in AI. We then dive into RAG: definition, origin story and core architecture. Douwe explains the evolution of RAG into RAG 2.0 and Agentic RAG, emphasizing the importance of self-learning systems over individual models and the role of synthetic data. We close with the challenges and opportunities of deploying AI in real-world enterprise, discussing the balance between accuracy and the inherent inaccuracies of AI systems.Contextual AIWebsite - https://contextual.aiX/Twitter - https://x.com/ContextualAIDouwe KielaLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/douwekielaX/Twitter - https://x.com/douwekielaFIRSTMARKWebsite - 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(01:57) Thoughts on the latest AI models: GPT-4.5, Sonnet 3.7, Grok 3(04:50) The test time compute paradigm shift(06:47) Unsupervised learning vs reasoning: a false dichotomy(07:30) The significance of DeepSeek(10:29) USA vs. China: is the AI war overblown?(12:19) Controlling AI hallucinations at the model level(13:51) RAG: definition and origin story(18:46) Why the Transformers paper initially felt underwhelming(20:41) The core architecture of RAG(26:06) RAG vs. fine-tuning vs. long context windows(30:53) RAG 2.0: Thinking in systems and not models(31:28) Data extraction and data curation for RAG(35:59) Contextual Language Models (CLMs)(38:04) Finetuning and alignment techniques: GRIT, KTO, LENS(40:40) Agentic RAG(41:36) General vs. specialized RAG agents(44:35) Synthetic data in AI(45:51) Deploying AI in the enterprise(48:07) How tolerant are enterprises to AI hallucinations?(49:35) The future of Contextual AI

*NOTE:The following interviews contain descriptions that some listeners may find disturbing.* Just before Christmas, 11-year-old Kamara White was on her lunch break in a classroom at Sprucewood Academy in Grand Falls-Windsor. Some of the grade six students in the room decided to play a physical game while the teacher was not present. As things got rougher, Kamara fell and ended up having the tops of two of her fingers severed. The CBC's Leigh Anne Power spoke with Kamara, as well as Kamara's mom, Annette.
In her second appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Linda Flanagan, author of Take Back the Game, dives into the critical topic of giving kids the freedom they need to grow. Linda and Ginny Yurich discuss how the pressures of modern youth sports and adult-driven parenting can unintentionally rob children of the unsupervised time essential for creativity, confidence, and resilience. They explore how this over-structured lifestyle impacts not only kids but entire families, often presenting adulthood as a joyless grind instead of a vibrant destination. This thought-provoking episode invites parents to step back and reconsider what truly matters. With actionable advice, Linda highlights the benefits of unsupervised play, reconnecting with nature, and cultivating family moments that aren't dictated by sports schedules. A must-listen for those looking to embrace a freer, more balanced approach to childhood and parenting. ** Get your copy of Take Back the Game here Learn more about Linda here Get information about Linda's new documentary coming soon here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.

Nearly a couple of years back - as I saw ChatGPT - just like everyone else who had been in the AI industry for the last decade, it was super clear that it was a turning point.To be sure, from within the industry, from GPT-2 onward, it was clear that something massive was happening, as for the first time (even if at the time the AI still generated a lot of non-sense), the paradigm was changing, as the output wasn't any longer stitching together of existing phrases, from a text the AI had somehow found.But it generated it independently, unsupervised, by “making sense” of the underlying text. That was mind-blowing!When ChatGPT came out, it was only the confirmation that the underlying model (GPT-3) with a new technique (InstructGPT) could be a game changer.It's nearly two years after the fact, and we've reached a point where tools like NotebookLM are so impressive that it's hard to imagine what's coming next!Indeed, the AI-generated this whole podcast episode after feeding it into our book AI Business Models!Before we get to it and understand its implications, remember you can download the AI Business Models book, if you subscribed to our premium newsletter.

Why are we seeing such a rise in youth mental health diagnosis? How do we relativise this against the rise in mental health awareness? What's the best approach for parents seeking solutions? How can social-connection and loneliness completely change trauma integration? What role does the recent explosion of persuasive technologies in young peoples lives play in the changing situation? In this episode we have the important topic of Youth Mental Health to get ourselves up to date on. Today we're going to try and unravel these often divisary issues in a balanced way; we're going to be discussing the importance of threat and safety to a child's state of mind as they develop; the power of the parent or carer's own unresolved issues to transmit to young people, creating symptoms in the child; the importance of going to the root of the problem rather than just treating symptoms; the role of escapism as an emotional avoidance strategy, and how digital platforms and device providers have taken advantage of that tendency, and the parenting strategies to guide this; and we're going to discuss the role of shame in us avoiding facing these issues. Fortunately, considering the nuanced and potentially triggering topic of the mental well being of the children we parent and teach, today's guest has just released the paper back version of his new book on exactly this topic, “How the world is making our children mad and what to do about it”. As a hugely experienced child psychotherapist and founder of the charity “Apart of Me” that supports children to transform their loss into compassion, he is perfectly placed to give us un update on this, and is filled with excellent stories and advice to help us face it. He is of course Louis Weinstock, a transpersonal psychotherapist and mindfulness specialist, who has worked with a wide range of sufferers from the criminal justice system, to drug addicts, to homeless people, to troubled teens and their parents. What we discuss: 00:00 Intro. 09:00 Our mental life is inseparable from our environment. 11:45 ‘Fetal programming' is applied in utero by the mother's environment. 14:10 Improvements in kid's mental health, simply from parents doing the work. 18:45 Children having behaviour issues at the same age as their parent's had trauma. 21:20 The evolutionary history of shame. 25:40 The difference between shame and guilt. 28:00 Rupture & repair: conflict in relationships is bearable and repairable. 29:25 Is psychotherapy worth it for kids, considering the stigma? 34:15 Mental health awareness can exaggerate our negative view of ourselves. 38:30 Massive jump in recent stats on youth mental health. 41:00 ‘Roots' of mental health issues and ‘fruits' we can learn from them. 45:20 Suffering and transformation: post-traumatic growth. 49:50 Escaping into virtual realities: Dissociation. 53:00 The ‘freeze' response - shutting the body down. 01:00:40 Resilience explained - fragile vs anti fragile. 01:04:00 The connection between loneliness and trauma. 01:05:25 Youth mental health and device/internet addiction. 01:07:25 ‘Variable reward' strategy taken from gambling slot machines. 01:12:30 Clear differences in kid's moods and sleep after too long on devices. 01:14:20 Parenting solutions to regulating screen time peacefully. 01:16:40 No devices in the bedroom, particularly in the evenings before bed. 01:20:30 Awareness: they're capable of reflecting on their behaviour. 01:24:20 Unsupervised play outside and in nature. 01:25:40 The world is safer rather than less safe than in the past.

Transpower says contractor Omexom is working through its own recommendations after the June pylon topple that caused a power outage in Northland. An Electricity Authority report found bad practice that caused the Transpower tower to topple had probably happened before. Unsupervised, inexperienced maintenance crews from contractor Omexom unfastened three legs at once. Transpower Executive General Manager Mark Ryall told Mike Hosking you do need to be able to train people on the job, otherwise they'll never become competent. But he says a trainee needs to be under direct supervision, and in this case they weren't adequately supervised. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I think this has been my most important conversation yet, and my hope is that you will first and foremost; CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR/SENATOR and urge this bill to be passed (HB 272-OM'S LAW) and secondly, share this with your friends and family and ask them to do the same. So many women and children are being abused and don't say anything because it is almost always made worse for them. "Getting out" or "Walking away" isn't that easy. No one should have to live a nightmare like Leah did for YEARS. She is my friend. I have other friends facing the same consequences she did, as a result of legal abuse and uneducated "experts" who have no expertise in domestic violence or child abuse. Please message the senator in your county and urge HB272, "Om's Law," to PASS. We have one week. This goes to the senate last week of February.

Om was brutally shot twice in the back and once in his face by a 45 caliber handgun bought from a pawn shop on the same State Street in Salt Lake City as the courthouse where I fought in family court for 14 years trying to keep my children safe. I supplied the courts with extensive evidence of Om's father's abuse and the risk to my children, but it fell on deaf ears. This morning it is my impossible task to represent thousands of protective parents and children who share their own, but similar experiences living in violence and who are not safe to speak out because they will be abused, tonight, tomorrow, and this weekend. I mothered in violence for the entirety of Om's 17 years. I never imagined I'd be safe enough to speak the truth publicly, but now I'm no longer hunted. My son stood in the face of lethal danger and freed me. And now I will speak for all of us, in his honor. Om was conceived in the violence of rape and executed as a hostage in the violence of control. Despite years of begging for relief, he was powerless to escape, trapped in childhood by a psychotic parent and ultimately trapped and killed in an enclosed office. Throughout the litigation, even as a young child, Om asked me when the court would allow him to speak. They never did. My ex-spouse was always abusive. I'm not sure during which of the countless early rapes Om was conceived, whether it was when I was shoved in a closet, suffocated in the front seat of a car, drugged and abandoned on a couch or forced under a blanket in a crowded room, but when I was dropped off to planned parenthood with an ultimatum between an abortion or my life, I gave up the life I knew to keep the pregnancy. I chose Om, and our life as prisoners began. He was a 6'3” 280lb PhD psychologist. In public, he maintained a professional appearance using the guise of a model parent, the persona of an enlightened religious yoga instructor, intent on healing sexual trauma, but in private he perpetuated a lifetime of relentless, systematic rape and calculated psychological control. This is what countless abusers do, but court professionals sometimes have little understanding about how abusers operate, and they rarely believe it when told, thanks in large part to attorneys for the abuser and so-called experts attacking credibility and asserting the protective parent is lying, hysterical or alienating. When Om was a baby, I did everything I could to protect him from abuse, but there was no escape from his dad's volatile tirades. It was impossible to avoid the spit spraying our faces when he screamed profanities. When he came home angry, I wedged a chair under the back door handle to buy enough time to hide under Om's crib, breastfeeding to keep him quiet. When he backed us into corners, I shielded Om from his fist brushing our faces, smashing the wall next to my head. Drunk and enraged, he would throw Om crying into the backseat, force me into his car, and then try to push me out speeding down the freeway. I had no reproductive choice. He prohibited contraception. Emotionless, he forced me to watch him flush the small, formed fetus from a miscarriage down the toilet as I bled on the bathroom tile. Rapes continued, and I hid my next pregnancy as long as possible, desperate for my daughter to survive. His power and control escalated, and after a year of secret planning, I moved out at 6 months pregnant. Desperate to lure me back, he promised improvement and I moved back just before delivery. Terrified that hospital staff might detect abuse and take Om from me, I avoided most prenatal care and went to a birth center for delivery. I wanted to protect my child before all else. Towering over us, he would declare “I own you" as if we were his property, and “you'll never survive without me”. We were under constant surveillance, stalked, and required to report every action. I wasn't allowed to work. The threats to kill me and take the children escalated, and I moved out again. People ask why don't victims just leave? It's not that simple. This time I was homeless with a baby and preschooler. We lived in friend's spare rooms, basements, above garages, or out of a car. Isolated, without money or options and convinced by him that I was rejected by my family and friends, I reluctantly forfeited my pro se protective order and moved back. The domestic violence case detective was so mad she said I should never ask for help again, that I'd never be believed. To maintain control, he bought an old mouse-infested cinderblock duplex and demanded that the kids and I live on one side while he lived on the other. He cut all financial resources, forced me to get Medicaid and food stamps. Om and his sister bravely risked kidnapping each time they walked out the door for their normal events like going to preschool, he would take them and refuse contact for days. I stopped calling police when they said “he's the dad, he can do what he wants, you chose him in the first place.” Victims are often blamed constantly in these systems instead of protected, as if we deserve to be further tortured and terrorized. I finally decided to leave for good when I found his old journal stating “I'm a sex addict and a child molester… I'm afraid I'll do it even to my own children”. The flood of realization confirmed years of clues, he was molesting my children. I took the journal and my 15 page statement documenting years of sexual, physical, psychological abuse to police who handed it back to me saying “your statement is too detailed, we could also say we're millionaires, but we're not. You should really be careful out there.” Thinking the court system would protect us, I scraped together a retainer for an attorney. They told me no matter what I presented, the courts are a gamble. Insisting the court call him “doctor”, the commissioner got angry and gave me full temporary custody with usual shared statue parent time, but not based on any of my evidence of abuse. With unsupervised parent time, his arrogance skyrocketed to unrestrained child sexual abuse. My 3 year old daughter disclosed to the pediatrician, therapist, babysitter and children's justice centers about abuse happening at daddy's house. Om consistently described masturbation with dad as “yoga” and the naked boys on dad's computers. The pain of pediatric speculum exams yielded no helpful DNA. The child abuse detective told me they believed the kids, but the prosecutor doubted the win because dad was too smart, and the child was too young. For 90 days I was ordered to restrict all contact with dad or I would be considered complicit in abuse. Then I was told to stop reporting, that I could be jailed if I didn't comply with unsupervised statutory parent time, with extra overnights to make up for his loss. Protective parents are in a double bind, blame on us comes from everywhere, protection from nowhere, or only temporary. Later his relatives disclosed his insidious incest of child cousins, it never stopped. Having custody does not mean children are safe if you must share it with a predator, and send your children to face him alone. Like all protective parents, I faced the impossible choice between living with my children under the crushing weight of perpetual violence, or pursuing divorce and a life of co-parenting with a sociopath, with police, with child protective services, and with the evaluators of the court system. If I had known court orders would not be followed or enforced, that the system wouldn't really help me to protect my children, I might have stayed in abuse, but I'm confident I wouldn't have survived to be in front of you today testifying of the importance of this bill. I always expected he would kill me first. Statistically, the first few months after leaving abuse are the most dangerous. His retaliation for reporting was channeled into our first custody evaluation, entangling us in the complexity of expensive, forced engagement with experts who demonstrated no experience with domestic violence and no understanding of what was happening, yet their opinions determined how our case progressed, in fact, the trajectory of our lives. I was warned by multiple attorneys never to call child protective services, and to never to tell the real truth, or risk losing custody. The court-appointed evaluator declared him to be a loving father, downtrodden by my supposed alienation tactics to hurt the children. I was the problem, according to this expert. This was absurd, but now Om's law will attempt to stop this injustice from continuing in cases in which protective parents are trying to keep their kids safe. I was denied a copy of this expert's report, but it influenced my children's entire childhood, and dramatically changed how our case unfolded, jeopardizing my children and discrediting me. My children continued to disclose abuse to court-ordered experts, while professionals who may have helped us were threatened by the abuser and his attorneys. One therapist had to secure legal counsel when he threatened to have her license revoked for writing a letter detailing her fears of the severity of his child abuse. A custody evaluator formally wrote the court for personal relief from his incessant demands and inappropriate behavior. Not one court-appointed expert petitioned to remove the children from abuse, no matter how obvious their trauma symptoms. This represents a small part of Om's first five years of life. The abuser continued to use the court system and experts as his personal hammer for another 11 years. Family court may appear as small claims court, but it maintains the highest stakes claims. Children are not property. The right to unlimited hearings led to pro se courtroom monologues where he carefully crafted lies to redirect attention away from children's safety and accused me of alienating, which is a pseudo construct abusers frequently rely on to defend themselves. Om's childhood isn't documented in photo albums, but in a thick court docket. Every type of court-ordered therapy and intervention failed. Despite my children's countless pleadings to live with me, we were sent into reunification therapy with a parent coordinator who had no experience with abuse. As a Ph.D., she immediately aligned with him, writing lengthy, outrageous letters to the court and telling my children to “stop asking to live with me, because it would never happen”. I paid thousands for my children to be subjected to her reunification attempts to convince them that by teaching healthy boundaries and body safety, I was alienating them from their loving, well-meaning father. During that time I discovered heavy porn sites he set up in Om's name, and continued to receive more calls from new rape victims reaching out for support. There was nothing therapeutic about “reunification”. It was forced upon us to reunify with the abuser and terrorize us more. For-profit professionals forced us to cooperate or risk contempt. However, reunification therapy was never needed because he already controlled our entire lives. The court labeled us "high conflict" and ordered high-conflict parenting courses with the only trauma-informed expert in all 14 years of our case to recognize abuse. She excused me from the course. 14 years is too long for a child to wait. I had one last way to save my children. I could choose to use the preponderance of evidence to pursue a criminal case which requires a higher burden of proof, or continue with a family court civil case. I expected we would not survive portraying him as a criminal, so I gambled everything I had documented and gave it all to the court-ordered experts. Our second custody evaluation resulted in the most important legal proceeding of our case, when for-profit court experts listed concerning reports including excessive deadly prescription drug DEA records, sexual assault allegations with personal interviews with victims, his solicitation arrest, police investigation of drug-induced rape, andreports of harassment and stalking. Yet, out of fear of being sued by him, my two children were split from each other, and custody of Om was given to his dad. I remember stating on record, “so you're telling me I have to sacrifice my son to save my daughter?” If he was dangerous to one of them, he was dangerous to both, but the court evaluators felt an obligation to appease the abuser. Over a year later, the third custody evaluation was filed in the court without warning, removing all custody from the abuser. No one talked to me or asked if this approach would be safe, even though I knew the abuser better than anyone. I never saw Om again, 3 weeks later he was dead. Most court experts told me that this was an impossible case, to stop trying, that my children would just have to age out. Standing with homicide detectives in the moment I confirmed my son was murdered, we thought to call the current court experts to find out if they were still alive. One answered, “well, that wraps up the custody evaluation” This is who is arguing against this bill, people who see us and our lives as a business. One of the abuser's for-profit, private practice attorneys, has led ardent opponents of this bill intended to increase victims' protection and save children's lives. Opposition typically argues for more ways attorneys can insert alienation in cases like mine, where a parent is desperate to save the children. They also profit from getting courts to order victims to be forced to "reunify" with abusers as a "fix" to this unscientific, undiagnosable nonsense called alienation, which is routinely used to discredit victims begging for protections. Don't be misled by them. They may sound professional, but are profiting off of pain. Supporters of this bill have no financial interest. We simply want to protect children. The legislature is tasked with caring for all Utah citizens, but especially our most vulnerable children desperate for protection. The more I tried to protect, the more I was accused of lying and alienation, to the point of my child murdered. Even with all of the protracted abuse and allegations of rape, I was never able to get a court finding of abuse. Our case was littered with over a decade of court-ordered experts, yet after tens of thousands of dollars, thousands of data points, and following the letter of the law in every order, I was accused as "high conflict", with any protective parenting behavior used against me, while more and more custody was given to the abuser. You don't have to imagine the torment of this, I have shared it with you and I ask you to consider it today. Finally, in the end, the custody evaluation got it right, but it was too late, issued without children's protections in place or notification to me. No one else should have to live like this. What happened to Om will happen again if we do not raise our standards and fix our custody laws. In closing, I ask, What more must a child say to be heard? What must a protective parent do to overcome the credibility deficit? How bad does abuse have to get to be called abuse? How many more children must sacrifice their childhood before we take action? Will we show the nation that Utah does prioritize the child first and always? Thank you.
It's okay, Kyle. We're with you.
