    The best-received part of my talk at GenAI London and a common question for RAG: How do you do RAG over tables? 1. Extraction is key Convert tables into HTML. This works best for providing context to the LLM. @UnstructuredIO is awesome for this. 🧵👇

    I zero-dayed @GroqInc's API. I was eager to use Groq in my apps, but the API is in private beta—meaning anything beyond the website was off-limits... Or.. I could reverse-engineer the frontend to build a @langchain runnable. Let's talk about the exploit in the thread. 👇 🧵

    RAG is "garbage in, garbage out." People build RAG apps but spend all their time on the LLM & prompt engineering, not on the data. Think data processing is unsexy? Think again. @UnstructuredIO + @langchain are 🔥🔥🔥🦵🦵👯. Unstructured is offering $100 to try them out. 👇🧵

    Stop making your kids share. My kid's daycare teacher hates sharing, and she's right. Making kids share is selfish of the parent and sets kids up to be entitled and possessive. 🧵👇

    Using consensus driven workflows with multiple LLMs can dramatically increase accuracy. Using @langchain and LangGraph makes building multi agent collaboration straight forward.
