DeepMind’s RAG System with Animesh Chatterji and Ivan Solovyev

Retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, has become a foundational approach to building production AI systems. However, deploying RAG in practice can be complex and costly. Developers typically have to manage vector databases, chunking strategies, embedding models, and indexing infrastructure.

YouTube Deliberately Modifies TV Experience for Users

encourage users to buy YouTube Premium instead of utilizing ad blockers, the company has also been implementing some intriguing modifications to the platform overall since 2023.

Now, it appears that Google is redirecting its focus to advertising, as the firm has revealed significant changes forthcoming for the YouTube app on smart TVs.

Given that ad blockers pose less of a challenge on TVs, and with YouTube ranking as one of the most-watched platforms on TVs last year, this development may not be well-received by many.
