RAG Frameworks in 2026: LangChain, LangGraph vs LlamaIndex
We benchmarked 5 RAG frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Haystack, and DSPy, by building the same agentic RAG workflow with standardized components: identical models (GPT-4.1-mini), embeddings (BGE-small), retriever (Qdrant), and tools (Tavily web search). This isolates each framework’s true overhead and token efficiency.
Comparison of Top 6 Free Cloud GPU Services in 2026
Advancements in AI and machine learning have increased demand for GPUs used in high-performance computing. Building dedicated GPU infrastructure involves high upfront costs, while cloud-based services provide more affordable access. Free GPU platforms support researchers, developers, and organizations with limited budgets.
AGI/Singularity: 9,300 Predictions Analyzed in 2026
Artificial general intelligence (AGI/singularity) occurs when an AI system matches or exceeds human-level cognitive abilities across a broad range of tasks, rather than excelling in a single domain. While many researchers and experts anticipate the near-term arrival of AGI, opinions differ on its speed and development pathway.
Tabular Models Benchmark: Performance Across 19 Datasets 2026
We benchmarked 7 widely used tabular learning models across 19 real-world datasets, covering ~260,000 samples and over 250 total features, with dataset sizes ranging from 435 to nearly 49,000 rows. Rather than identifying a single most successful model, the goal was to understand which model families perform reliably across the data regimes enterprises actually encounter.
RPA Web Scraping: Tips and Techniques in 2026
Web scraping is the act of collecting data from websites to understand what information the web pages contain. The extracted data is used in multiple applications such as competitor research, public relations, trading, etc. RPA web scraping bots automate the web scraping of unprotected websites via drag-and-drop features, eliminating manual data entry and reducing human error.
AI Deep Research: Claude vs ChatGPT vs Grok in 2026
AI deep research is a feature in some LLMs that offers users a wider range of search results than AI search engines.
LLM Inference Engines: vLLM vs LMDeploy vs SGLang ['26]
We benchmarked 3 leading LLM inference engines on NVIDIA H100: vLLM, LMDeploy, and SGLang. Each engine processed identical workloads: 1,000 ShareGPT prompts using Llama 3.1 8B-Instruct to isolate the true performance impact of their architectural choices and optimization strategies.
Top 7 Open Source AI Coding Agents in 2026
In prior evaluations, we benchmarked both open-source and paid agentic CLIs, focusing on their performance in web development tasks, and some open-source agents performed as successfully as the paid options. Therefore, we also listed the top 8 open source coding agents for users with privacy concerns.
Receipt OCR Benchmark with LLMs in 2026
Extracting data from receipts is essential for businesses, as millions of employees submit their work-related expenses via receipts. With the latest developments in generative AI and large language models, data extraction accuracy has reached a level comparable to that of humans.
Agentic Mesh: The Future of Scalable AI Collaboration ['26]
While much has been written about agent architectures, real-world production-grade implementations remain limited. This piece highlights the agentic AI mesh, a concept introduced in a recent McKinsey. We will examine the challenges that emerge in production environments and demonstrate how our proposed architecture enables controlled scaling of AI capabilities.
