Exa Snapshot pins search and page retrieval to any past date, using 400 billion stored webpages to prevent evaluation leakage and enable backtests.

Google Research swaps expensive chain-of-thought fan-out for a 53.9M-parameter diffusion retriever, delivering 12-20x faster expert-level search slates.

Perplexity released Q2D-Web, a large-scale benchmark with 190M documents and 70K agent-reformulated queries for evaluating retrieval in agentic RAG systems.

Sarvam and IDFC FIRST Bank are launching a joint R&D Lab to build banking AI that learns from live operations and improves itself over time.

Sony AI built a system that reads the biomedical literature and predicts unpublished gene interactions, with two confirmed in wet-lab experiments.

Perplexity open-sources details of Ivy, Tulip, and ROSE, its Rust plus Python embedding stack that beats vLLM on latency and throughput.

LlamaIndex and Kaggle launch a schema-guided document extraction benchmark that grades models on missing fields, source grounding, and repeated records across 370 enterprise files.

A new generative retriever leverages the table of contents to hit 82.6% Recall@1 on a fresh 18-book benchmark, with hallucinations under 0.05%.

Perplexity's new Search API takes the top three spots on the Artificial Analysis Search Index, extending the quality-cost Pareto frontier for agentic search.

Exa's new search primitive treats tokens as the retrieval unit rather than documents, cutting agent context bloat by an average of 95%.

Cohere's new 2.3B-parameter vision model turns PDFs into agent-ready Markdown at $1.50 per 1,000 pages, undercutting Mistral by 63%.

Perplexity's Brain turns agent memory into a linked Markdown wiki that background agents refine, boosting correctness 9.3 points with 15% fewer tokens.

The open-source document parser Docling has crossed 65,000 GitHub stars, cementing its place as a go-to tool for prepping files for gen AI pipelines.

An open-source tool parses your monorepo with Tree-sitter, builds a Memgraph knowledge graph, and hooks into Claude Code via MCP.
