    LlamaIndex goes beyond RAG so agents can make complex decisions
    Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn MorePopular AI orchestration framework LlamaIndex has introduced Agent Document Workflow (ADW) a new architecture that the company says goes beyond retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) processes and increases agent productivity.As orchestration frameworks continue to improve, this method could offer organizations an option for enhancing agents decision-making capabilities.LlamaIndex says ADW can help agents manage complex workflows beyond simple extraction or matching.Some agentic frameworks are based on RAG systems, which provide agents the information they need to complete tasks. However, this method does not allow agents to make decisions based on this information.LlamaIndex gave some real-world examples of how ADW would work well. For instance, in contract reviews, human analysts must extract key information, cross-reference regulatory requirements, identify potential risks and generate recommendations. When deployed in that workflow, AI agents would ideally follow the same pattern and make decisions based on the documents they read for contract review and knowledge from other documents.ADW addresses these challenges by treating documents as part of broader business processes, LlamaIndex said in a blog post. An ADW system can maintain state across steps, apply business rules, coordinate different components and take actions based on document content not just analyze it. LlamaIndex has previously said that RAG, while an important technique, remains primitive, particularly for enterprises seeking more robust decision-making capabilities using AI.Understanding context for decision makingLlamaIndex has developed reference architectures combining its LlamaCloud parsing capabilities with agents. It builds systems that can understand context, maintain state and drive multi-step processes.To do this, each workflow has a document that acts as an orchestrator. It can direct agents to tap LlamaParse to extract information from data, maintain the state of the document context and process, then retrieve reference material from another knowledge base. From here, the agents can start generating recommendations for the contract review use case or other actionable decisions for different use cases.By maintaining state throughout the process, agents can handle complex multi-step workflows that go beyond simple extraction or matching, the company said. This approach allows them to build deep context about the documents theyre processing while coordinating between different system components. Differing agent frameworksAgentic orchestration is an emerging space, and many organizations are still exploring how agents or multiple agents work for them. Orchestrating AI agents and applications may become a bigger conversation this year as agents go from single systems to multi-agent ecosystems.AI agents aree an extension of what RAG offers, that is, the ability to find information grounded on enterprise knowledge.But as more enterprises begin deploying AI agents, they also want them to do many of the tasks human employees do. And, for these more complicated use cases, vanilla RAG isnt enough. One of the advanced approaches enterprises have considered is agentic RAG, which expands agents knowledge base. Models can decide if they needs to find more information, which tool to use to get that information and if the context it just fetched is relevant, before coming up with a result.Daily insights on business use cases with VB DailyIf you want to impress your boss, VB Daily has you covered.

    Sleeping Dogs Movie Not Happening Anymore, Donnie Yen Confirms
    Sometimes everyone already knows what happened to a project, we just need someone to confirm it.In 2017 it was announced that there would be a live-action adaptation of the open-world crime game, Sleeping Dogs, starring Donnie Yen, who was riding high on the success of movies like Ip Man and Rogue One. Director Timo Tjahjanto was also approached to direct, giving this project a real pedigree for anyone who loves hardcore Asian action films.Unfortunately, since about 2018 almost any mention of this movie disappeared. And now Polygon confirmed with Yen that this movie is no longer in the works."I spent a lot of time and did a lot of work with these producers, and I even invested some of my own money into obtaining the drafts and some of the rights," Yen tells Polygon. "I waited for years. years. And I really wanted to do it... And unfortunately... I don't know, you know how Hollywood goes, right?"Yen calls it an "unfortunate thing," but says he's ready to move "on to better things."PlaySleeping Dogs was released back in 2012 and was developed by the now defunct United Front Games and published by Square Enix. The open world action game was effectively Grand Theft Auto in Hong Kong, with plenty of influences from Hong Kong crime cinema like Infernal Affairs and Hard Boiled. Starring undercover cop Wei Shen as he infiltrated the local Triad, Sleeping Dogs became something of a cult hit thanks to its mix of action, world design, and star-studded voice cast (including Emma Stone and Lucy Liu). The Definitive Edition received an 8.5 in our review.Unfortunately a sequel and planned spinoff, Triad Wars, never entered into production before United Front shut down, and now the movie adaptation joins the dormant game series.Luckily for fans of Yen, he's been keeping himself quite busy both at home and abroad. Alongside the action movie The Prosecutor, Yen was last seen stateside as the blind assassin Caine in John Wick: Chapter 4, and according to Collider, is in talks to star and direct a Caine spinoff movie.Matt Kim is IGN's Senior Features Editor.

    Ubisoft Investors Grill CEO, CFO on Potential Tencent Sale, Delays, and Financial Woes
    Ubisoft just delayed Assassin's Creed: Shadows by another month, amid a time of troubled financials, continued cost cuts, and ongoing rumors the company was preparing for a sale to gaming giant Tencent. In an emergency conference call today, investors grilled CEO Yves Guillemot and CFO Frederick Duguet for answers on all of the above - but their responses didn't provide much reassurance.Ubisoft's call today came alongside not just the delay announcement, but a seeming confirmation of sorts that Ubisoft is preparing to sell, or at least strongly considering it. Per the press release, the company has "appointed leading advisors to review and pursue various transformational strategic and capitalistic options to extract the best value for stakeholders. This process will be overseen by the independent members of the Board of Directors. Ubisoft will inform the market in accordance with applicable regulations if and once a transaction materializes."PlayIGN's Twenty Questions - Guess the game!IGN's Twenty Questions - Guess the game!To start:...try asking a question that can be answered with a "Yes" or "No".000/250Back in October, Bloomberg reported that Ubisoft's founding Guillemot family and shareholder Tencent were in discussions to take the company private following a number of high-profile flops, game cancellations, and the collapse of the company's share price. At the time, the talks were merely exploratory, and Ubisoft told IGN it would "inform the market if and when appropriate." Today's update seems to suggest that such talks, either with Tencent or in some other capacity, have moved forward in some way.But it's unclear exactly how, and Ubisoft's shareholders understandably wanted more details during the conference call today. But Guillemot and Duguet weren't biting. First, they were asked directly by a Morgan Stanley representative: "On the various transformation strategic and capitalistic options, it's a bit of a vague phrase if you don't mind me saying. Could you perhaps elaborate on the kind of things you're talking about? And perhaps particularly, there were press reports of detailed discussions with Tencent that were reported on in December. Should we read that there is now some sort of proposal which the independent board members are going to review against other options? Or is that not what you mean by that?"Duguet replied:The objective of this process is to unlock the best value potential of our assets to the benefit of our stakeholders, and to foster the best conditions to create great games in the fast-evolving market. That's the overall objective, so that's why we mentioned that we appointed leading advisors. So we are currently actively exploring different options. And we can't say more. Of course we won't comment on specific rumors we have seen in the market, but we are convinced there are several potential paths to generate value from Ubisoft assets and franchises. We will inform the market if and when a transaction materializes.That...doesn't really clarify anything! And the Morgan Stanley guy seemed to feel the same, because he followed up by acknowledging Ubisoft didn't want to say what the different options were, but asked if they could say "whether there are any concrete courses of action or scenarios that are being considered, or is this more of an exploratory kind of process?" elaborating that he wanted to know what was different about this announcement as opposed to past statements by Ubisoft about such exploration.Duguet's response was short. "We are limited with what we can say today, but we've started a process." Then, seemingly realizing this could be interpreted as a too-specific confirmation, added, "with advisors."The other shareholders didn't let Ubisoft off the hook here. A Barclays representative pointed out to Guillemot and Duguet that Tencent had recently been designated as a Chinese military company by the U.S., and wanted to know if that would hinder it becoming the majority owner of Ubisoft. Guillemot declined to comment. A representative from HSBC asked "what stage" the advisors were at, and when Guillemot could expect to get some initial findings. Guillemot would only say they "have started working" and that they could expect "good progress" in the coming months.Admittedly, there's only so much Guillemot and Duguet can say about a potential acquisition without throwing it into legal and negotiational jeopardy, but that doesn't mean the skepticism around the board's alleged plans wasn't warranted. A number of other questions went unanswered during the call, such as a question about how many AAA games Ubisoft expected to release in the coming fiscal year ("you'll know more by May") and what specific sort of feedback Ubisoft got that sparked the month-long delay of Assassin's Creed: Shadows (Duguet and Guillemot tag-teamed an answer about positive community sentiment that did not address the investor's actual question at all).Overall, the tone of the discussion was one of significant concern for the health of Ubisoft and the shareholders' investments, and it's no surprise why. For several years now, Ubisoft has seemed to be in a strange, slow downward spiral, with a number of high-profile flops, layoffs, studio closures, game cancellations, and delay after delay after delay.Meanwhile, rumors continue to spin about what exact proposals the board is considering, with some media outlets floating the idea that Tencent is increasingly reluctant to embrace Ubisoft due to the Guillemot family's insistance on retaining a significant amount of control. Sans Tencent, there are few other companies big enough and rich enough to spend the cash needed to save the albatross Ubisoft has grown into.Rebekah Valentine is a senior reporter for IGN.

    Tesla Moves Workers Away From Cybertruck Production as Demand Slumps
    They were reassigned to work on the Model Y instead.CyberSlumpTesla is moving workers away from Cybertruck production at its Austin factory to focus on the Model Y instead, with three workers at the plant telling Business Insider that they were being reassigned to work on the best-selling SUV.The Elon Musk-led EV maker has been grappling with dropping overall sales. Earlier this month, Tesla announced the first year-over-year drop in the number of deliveries in over a decade, a notable shift highlighting weakening consumer demand and a likely sign that Trump's anti-EV push could further exacerbate its woes.The Cybertruck in particular has proven highly controversial. Despite becoming a political lightning rod, the truck became the best-selling EV pickup in the US in October, outpacing the Ford F-150 Lightning but read further, because in absolute terms, it's barely moving the needle.While it's unclear how the recent slump in sales affected the number of Cybertrucks sold Tesla doesn't publicize specific sales numbers for the vehicle the most recent worker reassignments could be an early warning sign that the divisive truck's popularity is waning.Reassign of the TimesAccording to BI's sources, some workers on the Cybertruck team were "forced to switch over" to work on the Model Y, despite wanting to stay on. One worker who spoke with the publication suggested the shift could be due to higher profit margins for the SUV.Last month, an internal memo obtained by BI revealed that workers at the company's Austin factory were told to take the next three days off, while still receiving eight hours of pay, likely due to production imbalances and a lack of working batteries.Meanwhile, Tesla is trying to push up demand for the pickup by lowering leasing prices.Besides possibly weakening demand, the Cybertruck has made headlines for repeatedly being recalled, suffering from major structural issues and puzzling design decisions.Whether Tesla will be able to ward off increasing competition in 2025, especially given a slowing demand for EVs overall, remains to be seen.In the grand scheme of things, the Cybertruck will likely remain more of a distraction and a rounding error in the company's overall sales. Tesla sold somewhere north of 27,000 trucks since it started deliveries in late 2023, in comparison to a whopping 1.7 million Model 3 and Model Y vehicles last year.More on the Cybertruck: Cybertruck Bomber Used ChatGPT to Plan His AttackShare This Article

    Astronauts Release Wooden Satellite From Space Station
    "Nobody had ever thought about using wood for rocket science before."Here We GoThe world's first wooden satellite has officially been deployed.Built by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the timber-clad device was sent to International Space Station last November.Now, NASA says that the tiny satellite, dubbed LignoSat, was finally released into the wild last month, in an experiment that will explore the viability of using wood in space which if fruitful, could offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional metal components."With timber, a material we can produce by ourselves, we will be able to build houses, live and work in space forever," Takao Doi, a former JAXA astronaut who studies human space activities at Kyoto University, toldReuters last year.Lumber WhyLignoSat, named after the Latin word for wood, is a type of CubeSat a small, box shaped satellite that can typically be held in one hand.Compact as it is, it's a meticulously crafted device. It uses no screws, nails, or glue. Instead, using a Japanese woodworking technique called "sashimono," the wooden components are held together by an intricate marrying of complex joints, fashioned and assembled by master carpenters in Kyoto, per The New York Times.The wood's source was also carefully chosen after a nearly year-long experiment aboard the ISS: honoki, a type of magnolia tree whose wood is traditionally used for sword sheaths, according to Reuters."Nobody had ever thought about using wood for rocket science before," Koji Murata, a forest science professor at Kyoto University told the NYT. "Many engineers thought wood was old technology and couldn't be applied to cutting-edge technology."Tree Fallin'The hope is that in space, wood will have several advantages. It won't deteriorate like it does on Earth, because there's no water or oxygen that would rot or inflame the material, Murata explained to Reuters.Moreover, using wood to construct satellites theoretically makes them safer to decommission. Right now, metal satellites are deorbited by re-entering the atmosphere, where they are supposed to burn up completely.But this isn't always the case, with large chunks of spacecraft often surviving and dangerously crashing down to Earth. In the long run, tiny shards and particles of metal, some of which may be toxic, can also pollute the atmosphere. With wood, though, there's no risk of dangerous debris, the scientists argue it burns completely."Metal satellites might be banned in the future," Doi told Reuters. "If we can prove our first wooden satellite works, we want to pitch it to Elon Musk's SpaceX."And perhaps in the distant future, offworld outposts could sustain themselves by planting their own trees, providing an endless supply of construction material.Now that it's been deployed, the plan is for LignoSat to stay in orbit for six months. Onboard sensors will monitor how the wood weathers the conditions of space, including its extremely cold temperatures, and how well the material shields its electronic components from ever present radiation, emitted by the Sun and from deep space.Share This Article

    Narwal's Robovacs Showcased at CES 2025 Are Designed to Do It All
    Narwal may not be a robovac company as well known as Eufy, Eureka, Dreame and Ecovacs, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a compelling robovac lineup to showcase at CES 2025. The lineup includes the Narwal Flow Series, Freo Z10, Freo Pro and S30, which come loaded with features that Narwal touts as all-in-one cleaning solutions.Here's what's new with Narwal at CES.Narwal Flow Series Upgrade your inbox Get cnet insider From talking fridges to iPhones, our experts are here to help make the world a little less complicated. To start with, Narwhal is showcasing its Flow Series, which it claims is the most advanced all-in-one cleaning solution for robovacs, including mopping and vacuuming, among other features. In terms of navigation, the Narwal Flow features dual RGB cameras and an AI chip that can detect and categorize over 200 objects.The robovac has the FlowWash mopping system and EdgeReach technology, meaning it adapts in real-time self-cleaning methods. It has a track mop and dual water tanks so it can always apply fresh water while extracting dirty water. The Narwal Flow base station can go for 120 days before needing to be emptied. NarwalOn the vacuuming side, the robovac has counter-directional movement, with an adaptive brush cover designed to extract deeply embedded dirt and hair from carpets. It sounds very attractive to me personally as the owner of three cats that love to shed. Narwhal claims this doubles the dust pickup rate compared to other devices. There's also a dynamic side brush that directs hair to a floating roller to help with detangling and reduces blockages with up to 99.9% efficiency. To tackle corners, there's an extendable edge brush that can adjust its direction. The Biggest Tech Show on Earth Just Wrapped. Here's Are 23 Cool Home Gadgets We Saw See all photos Finally, the Narwal Flow has an 8-in-1 multifunction base station that has automatic dust emptying, mop washing, hot-air drying and water tank refilling. It can last up to 120 days before requiring any emptying or maintenance on your part. The Flow is expected to launch in mid-2025, with a price to be announced soon. The Flow comes with FlowWash mopping and EdgeReach technology. NarwalNarwal Freo Z10The Freo Z10 is Narwal's premium all-in-one robovac. Like the Flow, it does both vacuuming and mopping and comes with easy maintenance features. The robovac has a mop extension that can apply 8 newtons of downward pressure, and its mop pad rotates at a rapid 180 rotations per minute. For mop cleaning, there is an AI adaptive hot water mop washing feature that can automatically adjust water temperature from 113 degrees Fahrenheit to 167 degrees Fahrenheit. The Freo Z10 features AI adaptive hot water mopping. NarwalThe brush is also designed to prevent hair tangles as with the Narwal Flow. It has a 7-in-1 self-emptying base station that includes silver ion sterilization and automatic mop maintenance. It can also go for 120 days before needing to be emptied.The Freo Z10 will launch in April at a $1,099 price point. The Z10 can apply 8 newtons of downward pressure with its mop pad. NarwalNarwal Freo ProThe Freo Pro is the more cost-effective model in the lineup. It's designed for quiet operation, has tangle-free technology like other models in the lineup and comes with 8,500 Pa of suction power. It also handles mopping with 12 newtons of pressure. The 7-in-1 base station includes automated mop washing and drying and can go seven weeks before it needs to be emptied.The Freo Pro will launch in March and will cost $699. The Freo Pro has a tangle-free brush roller. NarwalNarwal S30The Narwal S30 isn't a robovac; it's a cordless stick vacuum loaded with smart features. As a successor to the S20, it has a 180-degree flat-lying design and comes with an interactive LCD panel and responds to voice prompts, letting you interact with it hands-free. It supports vacuuming and mopping in a single pass and comes with automatic brush-hair cutting and detangling. This cordless vacuum has six cleaning modes to handle different messes and flooring. NarwalSelf-washing and smart iron drying reach a temperature of 194 degrees Fahrenheit, helping prevent odors, mold and bacteria. The S30 has six cleaning modes, letting you customize for different floor types and mess levels.The Narwal S30 will launch in the second quarter of this year and cost $649.

    These Robotic Home Helpers Can Vacuum, Mop, Wash Windows, Mow Your Lawn and Even Clean Itself
    Robovacs and robotic moppers are a great labor saving tools for homeowners, but their ability to clean comprehensively can be a mixed bag. Ecovacs is aiming to change that at CES 2025 with its new lineup. There's the Deebot X8 Pro Omni, which can both vacuum and mop and comes with advanced navigation, the Deebot T50 with powerful suction in a slim design and the Goat A3000 LiDAR, the flagship in a series of robotic lawn mowers and finally, the Winbot, a window cleaning robot.Here's what's new from Ecovacs, with more details about pricing and availability to follow after CES.Deebot X8 Pro Omni Upgrade your inbox Get cnet insider From talking fridges to iPhones, our experts are here to help make the world a little less complicated. The X8 Pro Omni is Ecovacs' new flagship robovac and mop combo. It comes with Ozmo technology for robotic mopping. Previous Deebot models included features like simultaneous vacuuming and mopping, dual oscillating mop pads, automatic mop-raising, hot water cleaning, and hot air drying. The X8 Pro Omni now adds Ozmo Roller self-washing. The X8 Pro comes with a self-emptying base station and can both vacuum and mop. EcovacsAs it sounds, the new tech helps minimize cross-contamination during mopping. Created in collaboration with Tineco, an intelligent home appliance brand, the technology continuously cleans the mop roller while the robot works. According to Ecovacs, this minimizes streaks across all floor types, reduces maintenance and requires minimal user intervention. The X8 Pro Omni also comes with improved edge and corner cleaning with the adaptive mop and side brush extensions, which allow for closer contact with walls and baseboards.It's a neat feature and may help address one of the main issues we have with robot mopping. Regarding other capabilities, the X8 Pro mopping has 4,000 Pa of pressure and 200 rotations per minute to put elbow grease into removing stains. The vacuum has 18,000 Pa of suction power and ZeroTangle 2.0 to reduce the number of brushes caught. CES 2025 Proves It's Still Deeply Weird With These Bonkers Gadgets See all photos Finally, navigation is also improved. The X8 Pro uses an embedded laser LiDAR system along with a TruEdge 3D edge sensor, which creates a real-time 3D map of the environment. This should minimize, if not eliminate, collisions. Naturally, like every other robovac being showcased at CES, Ecovacs is incorporating AI into the robot to help with object recognition. The X8 Pro should be able to better differentiate between things like shoes and cables. It can also adapt to surroundings in real time by combining 3D structured light sensors with visual and language recognition. It even comes with YIKO-GPT voice interactions, meaning you can give it voice commands. The X8 Pro can self clean its roller while mopping. EcovacsDeebot T50 Max and T50 Pro OmniThe Deebot T50 is only a robovac, but it has plenty of improvements. Ecovacs has gotten rid of the top-mounted mechanical LiDAR in favor of a sleeker, front-mounted solid state LiDAR. This makes the design more compact and less prone to getting stuck under couches and other low furniture.In terms of technology, you're looking at the same ones on the X8 Pro, with TruEdge Adaptive Edge Clening, 3D mapping and ZeroTangle 2.0 for the brushes. There's 18,500 Pa of suction and, according to Deebot, this boosts the T50 Max large particles pick-up rate by 100% and carpet dust cleaning by 93%.The T50 Pro Omni is also part of the lineup. It is the slimmest robovac in Ecovac's lineup, measuring just 81 millimeters thick (3.2 inches), allowing it to clean under sofas and beds. It's also certified by TV Rheinland for edge and corner cleaning. The A3000 features a dual-plate cutting system. EcovacsGoat A3000 LiDAR and Goat O FamilyEcovacs isn't just limiting itself to indoor cleaning. The Goat A Family and O Family are robot lawnmowersaimed at homeowners with yards that need upkeep. The A3000 has dual LiDAR, 360-degree top-mounted scanning and 3D laser imaging to help with mowing and obstacle avoidance. There's also a dual-plate cutting system for more coverage in a single pass. The O Family is designed for smaller, more intricate lawns. It's more maneuverable in tight spaces and can handle more complex garden layouts. The O Family is more maneuverable for more complex gardens. EcovacsWinbot W2 Pro Omni and Winbot MiniEcovacs is also tackling window cleaning with the Winbot W2 Pro Omni. It comes with enhanced edge-cleaning, optimized spray coverage and intelligent path planning to reduce streaks. A portable docking station includes charging, letting the Wibot charge while cleaning without needing to be plugged into an outlet. It can even be used outdoors.Also part of the lineup is the Winbot Mini, a slimmer model that weighs 2.9 pounds. The more compact size is targeted toward apartment residents who have limited space.
