Feeling overwhelmed by all the talk about reasoning models? We've summarized the key points from our latest Trends in AI episode, covering the history of reasoning in LLMs, DeepSeek-R1's innovations, and their impact on AI applications. Check it out! 🎥 Full recording: https://lnkd.in/e2RYCSPZ

You can get ‘Deep Research’ searches (i.e. agentic reasoning with retrieval and reading in the loop) in Zeta Alpha today, on your very private and secure documents, in your own IT infrastructure, incl. complex filters and access rights, federated search to external data, etc. Our customers are impressed how it helps them find in minutes what used to take hours or days. This is truly the new chapter of AI assisted discovery.

Reasoning Models | Trends in AI - February 2025 The whole world is buzzing with the performance of DeepSeek’s reasoning model, R1, and its implications for the dominance of Western tech companies in the AGI race. But what exactly are reasoning models? Did anyone see them coming? And how can they be used to create value? Join us this Friday at 8 am PT / 5 pm CET, for a special episode in our Trends in AI webinar series, where we will cut through the hype and break down the key innovations that led to this moment. We will discuss where these models excel, how to use them effectively, their main shortcomings, and where the research front has shifted. Don’t miss out! Secure your spot at https://lu.ma/di5b4v2y

Zeta Alpha's Trends in AI webinar kicked off the new year by looking at the recent progress in AI. We extrapolate these trends to predict where we think things are headed for 2025. Our 10 predictions for AI in the next 12 months: 1. Inference-time compute scaling will dominate AI progress. 2. Compute market for inference will break NVIDIA’S dominance. 3. Enterprise AI systems will be based on agentic RAG. 4. AI agents will have measurable impact on labor market. 5. Multimodal search breakthroughs will be the new normal by end of 2025. 6. 2025 will be the year of World Models. 7. Humanoid robots will remain hype. 8. Quantum AI computers only scientifically ‘Interesting’ for 2025. 9. No AI-powered drone swarms deciding war outcomes. 10. Major global conflict (US & EU). EU tech regulation will prevail.

As we near the end of 2024, it’s time to reflect on how far we’ve come at Zeta Alpha. We have captured this in our latest platform video. Our journey this year has been defined by leading in advanced RAG solutions for the enterprise, including the most recent chapter: high quality AI Agents. Central to this is our Research Agent, a groundbreaking innovation that brings inference-time reasoning to advanced RAG. This isn’t just a tool—it’s your intelligent research partner, designed to take systematic knowledge exploration to a whole new level. 🚀 Acceleration: From weeks to minutes—our Research Agent performs multi-step reasoning and querying to deliver comprehensive, high-quality research reports. 🌐 Integration: Seamlessly unify Proprietary and Public Knowledge across fragmented sources like internal documents, the web, academic literature, and external APIs. 🔍 Trust: Adapt the Research Agent to specific domains that need high quality and accuracy in expertise-heavy fields like chemistry, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, high-tech manufacturing, finance and legal. At Zeta Alpha we’re looking forward to 2025 to shape a new era in AI—one where Agentic AI empowers professionals in their core area of expertise to spend less time searching for information, and more time on critical thinking and making the right decisions. Whether you’re looking to move faster from prototype to production with Generative AI in tackling complex R&D challenges, planning strategic initiatives, or improving the quality of daily operations, Zeta Alpha’s AI platform serves as the foundation for scalable, high-impact solutions. Watch the video and discover how AI Agents redefines the future of systematic research. https://lnkd.in/eGaCMZNn Enjoy Discovery & Happy Holidays! #GenerativeAI #AgenticAI #Research #RAG

AGI or ASI? Is 2025 really going to be the year of AGI? How can AI positively impact decision making in large organizations? How can it solve some of the really difficult problems better than individual people can? What is superintelligence, really? Recently I've had the opportunity to talk with Louis Rosenberg (Founder and CEO of Unanimous AI) about these fascinating questions. If you are interested in approaches from the category 'think different', this is a must watch! Inspired by the biological metaphor of swarm intelligence, Louis Rosenberg presents a convincing argument that discussions in groups of experts facilitated by AI, rather than huge AI systems trained on all the worlds data, are going to solve the important problems in large organizations. ASI, which stands for Artificial Swarm Intelligence, is something akin to agentic AI systems, but with expert humans not only 'in the loop' --and potentially falling asleep at the wheel, but as an essential piece of the equation --and driving the conversation.
