When we’re talking about grounding, we mean fact-checking the hallucinations of planet destroying robots and tech bros. If you want a non-stupid opening line, when models accept they don’t know something, they ground results in an attempt to fact check themselves. Happy now? TL;DR LLMs don’t search or store sources or individual URLs; they generate answers from pre-supplied content. RAG anchors LLMs in specific knowledge backed by factual, authoritative, and current data. It reduces hallucinations. Retraining a foundation model or fine-tuning it is computationally expensive and resource-intensive. Grounding results is far cheaper. With RAG, enterprises can use internal, authoritative data…

One interesting point about VPNs is raised by fully a third of capacity-hungry enterprises: SD-WAN is the cheapest and easiest way to increase capacity to remote sites. Yes, service reliability of broadband Internet access for these sites is highly variable, so enterprises say they need to pilot test in a target area to determine whether even business-broadband Internet is reliable enough, but if it is, high capacity is both available and cheap. Clearly data center networking is taking the prime position in enterprise network planning, even without any contribution from AI. Will AI contribute? Enterprises generally believe that self-hosted AI…

A vulnerability in the OpenClaw AI assistant could have allowed attackers to hijack agents by luring victims to malicious websites, Oasis Security reports. Successful exploitation of the bug did not require the installation of malicious extensions or user interaction, instead relying on functionality within OpenClaw. A self-hosted AI agent, OpenClaw runs a local WebSocket server, which acts as a gateway that handles authentication, orchestrates the agent, manages chat sessions, and stores configurations. Applications and devices connect to the gateway as nodes to expose functionality, run commands, and access capabilities, while authentication is handled via tokens or passwords. “The gateway binds…
