Compare 9 Large Language Models in Healthcare
We benchmarked 9 LLMs using the MedQA dataset, a graduate-level clinical exam benchmark derived from USMLE questions. Each model answered the same multiple-choice clinical scenarios using a standardized prompt, enabling direct comparison of accuracy. We also recorded latency per question by dividing total runtime by the number of MedQA items completed.
Building AI Agents with Composable Patterns
We spent 3 days experimenting with workflows and agent pipelines in n8n, following Anthropic’s and OpenAI’s guides on building effective AI agents.

Multimodal Embedding Models: Apple vs Meta vs OpenAI
Multimodal embedding models excel at identifying objects but struggle with relationships. Current models struggle to distinguish “phone on a map” from “map on a phone.” We benchmarked 7 leading models across MS-COCO and Winoground to measure this specific limitation. To ensure a fair comparison, we evaluated every model under identical conditions using NVIDIA A40 hardware and bfloat16 precision.
Top 20+ Agentic RAG Frameworks
Agentic RAG enhances traditional RAG by boosting LLM performance and enabling greater specialization. We conducted a benchmark to assess its performance on routing between multiple databases and generating queries. Explore agentic RAG frameworks and libraries, key differences from standard RAG, benefits, and challenges to unlock their full potential.
