Search the entire PubMed dataset (36 million abstracts) in < 50 milliseconds, up to 40x faster and 32x more memory efficient than current RAG search methods. This Studio shows how to speed up RAG search (40x faster, 32x more memory efficient) by leveraging binary quantization of vector embeddings (more details to follow).

Modularity in software refers to decomposing a system into smaller, more manageable modules that can be independently developed and composed into a complete software system. Modularity helps us build better quality, more reliable software systems, as modules can be independently tested

Over the past few months, I have been thinking a lot about workflows to automatically and dynamically improve LLM applications using production data. This stems from our research on validating data quality in LLM pipelines and applications—which is starting to be productionized in both vertical AI applications and LLMOps companies.

AI Tutorial
Create simple apps with text prompts
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/d18c10e9-2212-4b20-a9cb-9b84554f5665/prompt.png?t=1721310006)
Here's how you can generate a fully functional web app from a single prompt in just minutes:
Visit Marblism’s website and log in. You will receive credits.
Write a text prompt describing the app you want to build. For example, you could use: "A social app like Instagram where people can post photos, comment, and like each other."
Enter the project name, type, description, and theme, then click on “Next“.
A page will appear showing the app description and the pages it will contain. Click on “Add new pages” at the bottom if you want to add a page. When you are done, click “Next“ again.
You will get AI-generated database tables, which you can edit by clicking the "Change Something" button at the bottom.
Click "Next" and wait a few minutes for your app to generate.
Click on "Launch Workspace," then "Go to Your Workspace."
Marblism will provide a basic version of the app. You can preview it, further modify it, upload mockups, or download the code.
