Modern AI systems are being deployed in complex domains such as medicine, science, and law, where there is often not a single correct answer given the observed evidence. Such systems must be able to represent and update uncertain beliefs about the world as new evidence arrives to make rational decisions. We introduce the novel technique…
Evaluating AI agents that use external tools requires realistic test scenarios that capture how practitioners compose tools and iterate across conversation turns. Constructing such scenarios by hand demands deep domain expertise, does not scale across tool ecosystems, and produces static benchmarks that cannot track evolving APIs. We observe that tool specifications—function names, natural-language descriptions, and…

React and Vue teams keep circling back to the same argument: which framework wins? But by August 2026, the sharper question for anyone shipping AI-assisted, data-heavy frontends is different. It’s not React vs Vue anymore. It’s how you fetch, cache, and sync server data inside whichever framework you already picked. That’s where TanStack Query and…
