LLM red teaming: a practical playbook

LLM red teaming has gone from an esoteric activity to a mandatory practice. With the OWASP Agentic Top 10 and the CSA Agentic AI Red Teaming Guide converging on shared vocabulary, this is the operational playbook any team deploying agents needs to have.

Enterprise GraphRAG: patterns after a year of adoption

A year after GraphRAG left the lab, one statistic holds: it works where corporate information has dense relational structure, fails where there are only loose documents. Patterns, ingestion costs, and architectural decisions that have survived a year of real deployment.

How to install a local MCP server for your editor

The Model Context Protocol has gone from proposal to de facto standard for connecting editors with external tools. This practical guide walks through standing up a local MCP server, wiring it into VS Code or your client of choice, and understanding exactly what you are exposing.

Consolidated MCP ecosystem: a quick map for 2026

Twenty months after the initial announcement, Model Context Protocol went from curiosity to de-facto standard among agent clients and servers. What is available, which servers are worth it, which problems remain open, and how it compares to earlier protocol maps.

Agents that drive the computer: patterns that work

Sixteen months after Anthropic first shipped computer use, with browser-use, OpenAI Operator and Gemini Computer Use all pushing in parallel, agents that drive the browser and desktop have moved from demo to real workflows. Time to review which patterns survive when you run them daily in production.

Knowledge graph renaissance with LLMs

Knowledge graphs spent two decades waiting for their moment. With LLMs now bridging free text and formal ontology, and the GraphRAG pattern already mature, the technology is back in the spotlight. Time to look at why it finally fits and where it actually pays off.

Sovereign AI in Europe: practical status

European sovereign AI discourse has spent three years fueling headlines, public investment, and interstate agreements. We are starting to see which part of the promise has real technical substance and what a technical team expecting alternatives outside the US ecosystem can actually count on.

Model Context Protocol in 2025: from announcement to ecosystem

Model Context Protocol turns ten months old since Anthropic's announcement, and it is no longer just a proposal: hundreds of servers, cross-vendor implementations and a public registry now back it. A look at what has worked, what is still weak, and why 2025 marks the shift from curiosity to basic infrastructure.

RAG 2.0: knowledge graphs, vectors, and hybrid

El RAG de 2023 era búsqueda vectorial con un LLM detrás. El de 2025 es un sistema híbrido que combina vectores, búsqueda léxica y grafos de conocimiento. Qué ha cambiado, dónde funciona cada pieza y qué decisiones marcan la diferencia entre un RAG útil y uno decepcionante.

Gemini 2.5: context scaling and multimodality

Google publicó Gemini 2.5 Pro en vista previa en marzo y la versión general llegó en junio. El salto respecto a Gemini 2.0 no está solo en puntuaciones sino en dos frentes prácticos: ventana de contexto utilizable en serio y multimodalidad que deja de ser demostración para convertirse en herramienta.

llama.cpp: Optimisations That Keep Surprising

llama.cpp is the C++ library that powers Ollama and much of the local-LLM ecosystem. 2024 added speculative decoding with two- to three-fold speedups, an RPC server for sharding layers across machines, and a stable GGUF format. Ollama covers 90% of cases; going direct pays off with uncommon hardware or specific flags.

Ollama in 2024: Running LLMs Locally Without Pain

Ollama became the standard for running large language models locally in 2024. It wraps llama.cpp in a single binary with Docker-style CLI and an OpenAI-compatible API. Phi-3 Mini runs in 4 GB; Llama 3.1 8B Q4 needs 6 GB. For production traffic at scale, vLLM remains the correct choice.

Claude’s Computer Use: When the Agent Moves the Mouse

Computer Use is the Claude API feature, launched by Anthropic on 22 October 2024, that lets the model view screenshots and move the mouse, type, and click inside a loop your own system executes and controls. It works well on apps without an API and fails on CAPTCHAs, highly dynamic interfaces, and long tasks.

GitHub Copilot Workspace: GitHub’s Conversational IDE

GitHub Copilot Workspace, in technical preview since April 2024, proposes task-oriented development: describe the problem in a GitHub issue and the AI reads the codebase, generates an editable multi-file plan, and implements it. It competes with Cursor Composer, though with more latency; its edge is native integration with PRs, issues, and GitHub history.

Architecture

vLLM: Serving LLMs in Production with Very High Throughput

vLLM serves language models on GPU using PagedAttention and continuous batching, two techniques that multiply throughput compared with a naive server. It exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, so migrating an existing application only requires changing the base URL and deploying the right binary.

Choosing an Open LLM for Enterprise in 2024

Choosing an open LLM for enterprise in 2024 is no longer just Llama 2: Mistral, Mixtral, Qwen, Yi, DeepSeek, and Phi-2 all compete with different licences and sizes. The criteria that actually decide are commercial licence, available hardware, language support, and your own evaluation on real use cases, not just the trendy benchmark.

Pre-trained Models and Transfer Learning

Transfer learning lets you reuse a model already trained on a massive dataset, such as ImageNet or a large text corpus, to solve a new task with far less proprietary data and compute time. It works through fine-tuning, feature extraction, or prompting, and it performs best when the source and target domains are similar to each other.
