Production-Ready LLMs Made Simple with the NeMo Agent Toolkit

had launched its own LLM agent framework, the NeMo Agent Toolkit (or NAT), I got really excited. We usually think of Nvidia as the company powering the entire LLM hype with its GPUs, so it’s fascinating to see them go beyond hardware and step into the software space as well.

Revealing design archetypes and flexibility in e-molecule import pathways using Modeling to Generate Alternatives and interpretable machine learning

arXiv:2512.23284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Given the central role of green e-molecule imports in the European energy transition, many studies optimize import pathways and identify a single cost-optimal solution. However, cost optimality is fragile, as real-world implementation depends on regulatory, spatial, and stakeholder constraints that are difficult to represent in optimization models and can render cost-optimal designs infeasible. To address …

Think Your Python Code Is Slow? Stop Guessing and Start Measuring

I was working on a script the other day, and it was driving me nuts. It worked, sure, but it was just… slow. Really slow. I had that feeling that this could be so much faster if I could figure out where the hold-up was. My first thought was to start tweaking things. I could optimise the data loading. Or …

How Agents Plan Tasks with To-Do Lists

we all do naturally and regularly. In our personal lives, we often keep to-do lists to organise holidays, errands, and everything in between.  At work, we rely on task trackers and project plans to keep teams aligned. For developers, it is also common to leave TODO comments in the code as reminders for future changes. Unsurprisingly, LLM agents also benefit …
