Ragna in Action: Building AI Document Interrogation Apps with Open Source Tools
A look at recent presentations on AI, RAG, and Ragna by Quansight’s staff. “For playing around, Generative AI is definitely cool. For asking serious questions about documents, which you’re going to base your business on, I think you still need to do your research and work out how to put some guard rails on it.” […]
Building a GPU CI Service for conda-forge
The recent revision of the array API standard marks another major milestone in the collective effort to achieve array interoperability across the Python data ecosystem.

Introducing Lightweight Versions of GDAL and PDAL
Geocoding is the practice of taking in an address and assigning a latitude-longitude coordinate to it. Doing so for millions of rows can be an expensive and slow process, as it typically relies on paid API services. Learn how we saved our client time and money by leveraging open source tools and datasets for their geocoding needs.
