RAG and RAG Multimodal
RAG is establishing itself as a strategic lever in AI projects. We offer you a clear, operational vision of what RAG really enables today: key principles,industrialization challenges, feedback, and high-impact business use cases. From strategic intelligence to technical game-changers, you'll leave with concrete reference points for piloting or challenging your future AI projects.
Agents and RAGs
Next-generation AI Agents rely on RAG to gain in autonomy, relevance and robustness. We'll show you (with the nAIxt platform in particular) how to orchestrate agents capable of reasoning from a knowledge base updated in real time. The aim is to design reliable, adaptive and truly useful business assistants.
Focus ColPali v2 and R&D
Our R&D is at the cutting edge of RAG, as demonstrated by the worldwide success of our ColPali publication. You'll discover our advances in image retrieving, small efficient models (ColSmol), and new evaluation techniques (ViDoRe v2). Visual RAG demo, agentic RAG... between vision and execution, we take you behind the scenes of innovation.
