In Q3 2024, 72% of production RAG pipelines failed to meet p99 latency SLAs for multimodal queries, according to a Datadog survey of 1,200 engineering teams. Most blamed fragmented toolchains for text and image retrieval—until Stable Diffusion 3.0’s embedding API and Llama 4’s 1M-token context window changed the game. This is the definitive guide to building unified multimodal RAG pipelines that c
What Should Humans Design When AI Can Write Most of the Code? AI can now write code. Not perfectly. Not always safely. Not without review. But it can write a great deal of code. It can generate functions, create tests, call APIs, build UI components, handle common errors, and produce large amounts of implementation detail at a speed no human developer can match. This changes the meaning of prog
