A few years ago, most AI models ran out of context after a short conversation. Today, leading models hold one million tokens or more. This guide breaks down context length in LLMs, how tokens work, what the lost in the middle effect means for output quality, and when RAG outperforms long context.
Building a RAG system just got much easier. Google’s File Search tool for the Gemini API now handles the heavy lifting of connecting LLMs to your data. Chunking, embedding, indexing are all managed for you. And with the latest update, it’s gone multimodal. You can now search through both text and images in a single […]

Your RAG system isn’t failing at retrieval — it’s failing at reasoning. This article shows how I built a lightweight self-healing layer that detects and corrects hallucinations before they reach users.

Modern AI systems struggle with memory. They often forget past interactions or rely on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which depends on constant access to external data. This becomes a limitation when building assistants that need both historical context and a deeper understanding of users. MemPalace offers a different approach, enabling structured, persistent memory with higher precision […]

As of 1st June 2026, GitHub Copilot will charge its users on the basis of the tokens they use, rather than a flat rate subscription model. The model that’s seeing the shutters closed on it is, or rather was, simple to understand and use. Users were given a set number of ‘Premium Requests’ according to […]

Retrieval is where most RAG systems quietly break. Traditional pipelines rely on vector similarity—embedding queries and document chunks into the same space and fetching the “closest” matches. But similarity is a weak proxy for what we actually need: relevance grounded in reasoning. In long, professional documents—like financial reports, research papers, or legal texts—the right answer […]

As memory grows in RAG systems, accuracy quietly drops while confidence rises — creating a failure that most monitoring systems never detect. This article walks through a reproducible experiment showing why this happens and how a simple memory architecture fix restores reliability.
