If youโre working on high-stakes applications like enterprise search, customer support, healthcare information, legal research, or financial services, itโs vital that an AI use provides accurate results. Hybrid RAG is a powerful approach for accuracy-critical AI use cases where factual answers matter most.
Learn from Sr. AI developer advocate David VonThenen as he builds a Hybrid RAG model using Graph + Vector RAG and Neo4j + OpenSearch.

Thai localization projects often face challenges with inconsistent translations, especially when .po translation memory contains mixed styles from outdated and newer sources. While LLMs can produce high-quality translations, they often lack consistency with project-specific tone and style.
In this talk, we introduce Lazy-L10N, an open-source localization tool designed to improve translation consistency using local LLMs and vector search.
Lazy-L10N builds a translation memory from .po files, uses pgvector for semantic retrieval of relevant examples, and leverages a local LLM to generate context-aware, style-consistent translations.
We demonstrate the system using real-world case studies from Okular and KDE Thai localization.

Supreet, a senior GenAI solutions architect at AWS Startups (Frontier AI team), presents a case study on using SageMaker multi-adapter endpoints to support a legal-tech SaaS with multiple customer datasets without deploying multiple model endpoints. After limited success with RAG and prompt engineering, the startup moved to fine-tuning using parameter-efficient QLoRA on an open-weights model (tested with Mistral 7B) to reduce cost and training time, training an initial ~100MB dataset in about two hours. A single real-time endpoint hosts the base model while multiple small adapters (about 50โ200MB) are swapped in milliseconds via routing logic (implemented with AWS Lambda and keyword/LLM-based hybrid routing) to meet sub-5-second latency targets. Supreet emphasizes adapter-level evaluations using NLP metrics and LLM-as-a-judge with SME input, plus an AWS architecture involving S3, SageMaker training/evaluation, model registry, API Gateway, and monitoring.

Powered by 100 millionm miles on public roads and billions more in simulation, the Waymo Driver is the most advanced application of AI in the physical world today. Waymo collects massive amounts of data from real roads and billions of miles driven in computer simulations. Manasi Joshi, director of Systems Intelligence and Machine Learning, will explain how Waymo’s engineers use these huge datasets to advance how cars "see" the world, predict what other drivers will do, and plan their routes. You’ll hear about how Waymo uses ML to train and test these self-driving systems and how its open dataset is motivating further public research in autonomy. This work helps make Waymo’s autonomous vehicles safer and more reliable every day in an era of rapid expansion and competition of autonomous ride-hailing services.

See how ZF Group is using SAP RISE, SAP Business Data Cloud, and AI to modernize a complex global manufacturing landscape.
At SAP Sapphire Madrid 2026, Thomas Buck, Chief Information Officer at ZF Group, shares how ZF Group is preparing for AI at scale while transforming a highly customized SAP ECC environment shaped by years of growth and acquisitions. With more than 150,000 employees across 29 countries and 160+ plants, ZF is using RISE with SAP and SAP Business Data Cloud to move toward clean core, make data AI-ready, and build a stronger foundation for innovation.
The conversation explores how ZF is applying AI to an industry-specific quality management challenge: the 8D problem-solving process. Today, teams manually review historical reports, search for similar cases, identify root causes, and assess whether issues could recur across other products. Working with SAP through a forward-deployed engineering approach, ZF built a custom AI framework with four agents to help analyze historical data, compare current cases, support root cause analysis, and propose solutions based on past cases.
ZF also shares the expected business value, including faster processes, improved quality, and potential savings in the mid double-digit millions of euros. The discussion closes with how WalkMe helps users adopt new AI-enabled ways of working and how SAP Max Success Plan supports ZFโs broader transformation journey.

Linus Tech Tips is back with Part 2 of their 2026 Linux Challenge so of course I had to react to it.
In this reaction video, I go through Linusโ latest Linux experiment and share my thoughts as someone who has been daily driving Linux for many years. Weโll talk about what went well, what didnโt, and some of the bigger takeaways for people who are curious about switching to Linux themselves.

Tired of Windows getting in your way? After daily driving Linux for nearly 20 years, I’m laying out exactly 7 things Linux does flat out better than Windows in 2026 โ and #1 is the one that’ll completely change how you think about computing.
This is not a rant. This is receipts. Real, demo-backed wins that go way beyond "open source is cool." From privacy that’s actually yours, to giving a dying Windows 10 laptop a second life, to a desktop you can truly call your own โ these are the reasons millions of people are quietly switching from Windows to Linux this year.
Here’s what we cover in this video:
๐ Real privacy by default โ no Microsoft account, no telemetry, no tracking, no leash
๐ป Bring old hardware back to life โ Windows 11 demands TPM 2.0, Linux doesn’t care
๐จ Unlimited desktop customization โ GNOME Extensions, KDE Plasma widgets, Cinnamon Spices
๐ฟ The Live USB test drive โ try the entire OS on your machine before you install
๐ The GNOME workspace flow โ a fundamentally smarter way to use your computer
๐ฆ One-command app installs โ APT, DNF, Flatpak, Snap โ no more .exe hunting
๐ Real choice โ Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Arch, Debian, openSUSE, Pop!_OS, Zorin and beyond
Whether you’re a long-time Windows user thinking about switching to Linux, a curious tech enthusiast, or a complete Linux beginner trying to figure out which distro to start with โ this video lays it all out without the fanboy nonsense.
๐ Sponsor: Hostinger VPS
Spin up Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Debian, or openSUSE in seconds. Self-host Nextcloud as a Google Drive replacement, run n8n, host Vaultwarden, your own AI agents, a remote Ubuntu desktop, or your own git server โ all from one always-on machine in the cloud.
