How to design, build, and evaluate a production RAG system on Databricks using Mosaic AI Vector Search, hybrid retrieval, and a real evaluation harness.
Air-Gapped Generative AI in Regulated Manufacturing
Cloud-only generative AI doesn’t fit facilities that cannot accept internet egress. Here is what an air-gapped agentic stack actually looks like — local LLMs, local vector DB, local model registry — and what it costs.
Multi-Agent OSINT with a Critic and a Referee
A swarm of agents producing summaries is not analysis. Adding a critic and a referee changes what the system is. Here is how Aquil’s OSINT architecture is structured.
Unity Catalog: Governance Done Right
Most governance projects fail because they start with policy. The good ones start with structure. Here is a reference Unity Catalog deployment that supports both governance and data-mesh patterns.
A Retrieval Engine over the World’s Aviation Safety Corpus
247,000 public-domain aviation safety reports — indexed with hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, and citation-grounded generation. Here is what we learned designing it for production.
Streaming on the Lakehouse: Auto Loader + DLT in Practice
A reference architecture for real-time pipelines on Databricks. Auto Loader, DLT, expectations, and SLOs that survive production.
Three Uncorrelated Edges: Designing an AI-Native Quant Stack
A quantitative research stack with one edge is a strategy. A stack with three uncorrelated edges is a portfolio. Here is how Sigma Axion is structured, and why uncorrelated edges matter operationally.
The Agent Factory: Planner, Executor, Critic, Referee
Most production agentic systems converge on the same architecture: a planner, an executor, a critic, and a referee. Here is the pattern, why it works, and how we apply it across industries.
Living Systematic Reviews: Evidence That Stays Current
A traditional systematic review is a snapshot, frozen at the search date. A living review is a stream, refreshed as new evidence appears. Here is the architecture that makes living reviews operationally feasible.
Dimensional Modeling on Delta Lake — and When to Choose Data Vault Instead
Star schema, data vault, one-big-table, federation. Each has a different shape and different trade-offs on Delta Lake. A decision framework.
