AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can reliably access, and the latest release of our Agents SDK makes it easy to connect to MCP servers.
We've prepared a quick guide where we bootstrap a minimal MCP-powered chat agent with just a few lines of code:

Robust evaluations for RAG with RAGElo
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems have gained strong traction because of their ability to ground generated answers in knowledge sources, allowing for higher accuracy and reliability. Howeve...
In our latest blog post, we covered how we use RAGElo, an open-source toolkit we've developed internally in Zeta Alpha, to compare multiple RAG systems head-to-head and aggregate pairwise preferences into a robust, easy-to-interpret Elo ranking.

Grok starting the month with >50% is ridiculous. Did people really think Big Tech wouldn't roll out even a single incremental update? (let alone a big push like Gemini)

yup, it also caught my eye because they say they did this "in contrast with gecko", and although there's no ablation study in the paper on this im sure they had some internally

A deep dive into the Gemini Embedding technical report - turns out you don't need any fancy training objectives or architectural tweaks to get SOTA on MMTEB, just a solid base model and high quality data!

The whole world is buzzing with the performance of DeepSeekβs reasoning model, R1, and its implications for the dominance of Western tech companies in the AGI race. But what exactly are reasoning models? Did anyone see them coming? And how can they be used to create value?
