Announcing a new Coursera course: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) You'll learn to build high performance, production-ready RAG systems in this hands-on, in-depth course created by and taught by , experienced AI and ML engineer, researcher, and educator. RAG is a critical component today of many LLM-based applications in customer support, internal company Q&A systems, even many of the leading chatbots that use web search to answer your questions. This course teaches you in-depth how to make RAG work well. LLMs can produce generic or outdated responses, especially when asked specialized questions not covered in its training data. RAG is the most widely used technique for addressing this. It brings in data from new data sources, such as internal documents or recent news, to give the LLM the relevant context to private, recent, or specialized information. This lets it generate more grounded and accurate responses. In this course, you’ll learn to design and implement every part of a RAG system, from retrievers to vector databases to generation to evals. You’ll learn about the fundamental principles behind RAG and how to optimize it at both the component and whole-system levels. As AI evolves, RAG is evolving too. New models can handle longer context windows, reason more effectively, and can be parts of complex agentic workflows. One exciting growth area is Agentic RAG, in which an AI agent at runtime (rather than it being hardcoded at development time) autonomously decides what data to retrieve, and when/how to go deeper. Even with this evolution, access to high-quality data at runtime is essential, which is why RAG is a key part of so many applications. You'll learn via hands-on experiences to: - Build a RAG system with retrieval and prompt augmentation - Compare retrieval methods like BM25, semantic search, and Reciprocal Rank Fusion - Chunk, index, and retrieve documents using a Weaviate vector database and a news dataset - Develop a chatbot, using open-source LLMs hosted by Together AI, for a fictional store that answers product and FAQ questions - Use evals to drive improving reliability, and incorporate multi-modal data RAG is an important foundational technique. Become good at it through this course! Please sign up here:

New Course: ACP: Agent Communication Protocol Learn to build agents that communicate and collaborate across different frameworks using ACP in this short course built with IBM Research's BeeAI, and taught by Sandi Besen, AI Research Engineer & Ecosystem Lead at IBM, and Nicholas Renotte, Head of AI Developer Advocacy at IBM. Building a multi-agent system with agents built or used by different teams and organizations can become challenging. You may need to write custom integrations each time a team updates their agent design or changes their choice of agentic orchestration framework. The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) is an open protocol that addresses this challenge by standardizing how agents communicate, using a unified RESTful interface that works across frameworks. In this protocol, you host an agent inside an ACP server, which handles requests from an ACP client and passes them to the appropriate agent. Using a standardized client-server interface allows multiple teams to reuse agents across projects. It also makes it easier to switch between frameworks, replace an agent with a new version, or update a multi-agent system without refactoring the entire system. In this course, you’ll learn to connect agents through ACP. You’ll understand the lifecycle of an ACP Agent and how it compares to other protocols, such as MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent). You’ll build ACP-compliant agents and implement both sequential and hierarchical workflows of multiple agents collaborating using ACP. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll build: - A RAG agent with CrewAI and wrap it inside an ACP server. - An ACP Client to make calls to the ACP server you created. - A sequential workflow that chains an ACP server, created with Smolagents, to the RAG agent. - A hierarchical workflow using a router agent that transforms user queries into tasks, delegated to agents available through ACP servers. - An agent that uses MCP to access tools and ACP to communicate with other agents. You’ll finish up by importing your ACP agents into the BeeAI platform, an open-source registry for discovering and sharing agents. ACP enables collaboration between agents across teams and organizations. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build ACP agents and workflows that communicate and collaborate regardless of framework. Please sign up here:

‘pip install elysia’ and ‘elysia start’ That’s literally all it takes to get the most advanced open source agentic RAG app running on your data. We just released 𝗘𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗮, our open source, agentic RAG framework and an app so cool needed a cool video to go with it. Watch the full video: In the video, we go through these components of Elysia: 1️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Instead of giving agents access to all tools at once, Elysia uses a pre-defined web of nodes with corresponding actions. Each decision agent has global context awareness. 2️⃣ 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀: Seven different data display formats including tables, e-commerce product cards, GitHub tickets, and charts. The system automatically choses the best display format. 3️⃣ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲: Unlike naive RAG systems that perform blind vector searches, Elysia analyzes your collections to understand data structure and meaning before performing queries. 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀: • 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺: Uses positive examples as few-shot demonstrations for smaller, faster models • 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸-𝗢𝗻-𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱: Dynamically chunks documents at query time instead of pre-chunking • 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆: Routes different tasks to appropriate model sizes based on complexity …And also how to get started with your own data! The entire project is open source and designed with customization in mind. You can use it as-is for effective data searching, or install the Python package to create custom tools for whatever agentic AI purposes you need. Big kudos to Edward for the vision, filming, and editing this masterpiece
