  • Publication number: 20260080178
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for generating one or more prompts based on an input and the semantic context associated with the input. In examples, the prompts may be provided as input to one or more general ML models to provide a semantic context around the input and/or output of the model. The prompt simulates training and fine-tuned specialization of the general ML model without the need to use a fine-tuning process to actually train the general ML model into a fine-tuned state. Additionally, the model output may be evaluated for responsiveness to the input prior to being returned to the user. An advantage of the present disclosure is that it allows a general ML model to be applied to a plurality of applications without the need for expensive and time-consuming training to fine-tune the ML model.

  • Publication number: 20260073151
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for creating a multi-dimensional entity (MDE) based on natural language (NL) input. A user may provide NL input into an application. One or more skills may be identified for the NL input, each of which has an associated prompt template. For example, a skill is associated with a computer-aided design and/or three-dimensional manufacturing application and/or file format, thereby enabling the generation of output associated with such applications and/or file formats. In examples, a skill chain may be generated that includes one or more skills with which to generate MDE output accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20250378054
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for storing entries in and/or retrieving information from an embedding object memory are provided. In some examples, a content item is received that has content data. The content data associated with the content item may be provided to one or more semantic embedding models that generate semantic embeddings. From one or more of the semantic embedding models, one or semantic embeddings may be received. The one or more semantic embeddings may then be inserted into the embedding object memory. The semantic embeddings may be associated with respective indications corresponding to a reference to source data associated with the semantic embeddings. Further, the insertion may trigger a spatial storage operation to store a vector representation of the one or more semantic embeddings. A plurality of collections of stored embeddings may be received from the embedding object memory, based on a provided input, to determine an action.

  • Publication number: 20250363978
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems for spoken natural stylistic conversations with large language models. In contrast to many existing modalities for interacting with large language models that are limited to text, the techniques presented herein enable users to carry a fully spoken conversation with a large language model. This is accomplished by converting a user speech audio input to text and utilizing a prompt engine to analyze a sentiment expressed by the user. A large language model, having been trained on example conversations, by generating a text response as well as a style cue to express emotion in response to the sentiment expressed by speech audio input. A text-to-speech engine can subsequently interpret the text response and style cue to generate an audio output which emulates the sensation of human conversation.

  • Publication number: 20240386185
    Abstract: The disclosed techniques provide enhanced generation of formatted and organized guides from unstructured spoken narrative using a large language model. A system uses unstructured verbal narrative as input in place of written input. The system uses a large language model to organize an unstructured narrative into a structured guide that follows specific formatting requirements. For example, the formatting requirements may define specific headers, steps, bullets, image locations, etc. The formatting requirements may also define category requirements. For example, category requirements may indicate that a structured guide is to include a title, topics for each header, etc. The system can also suggest new categories, relevant explanations, additional image locations, and other references the author may not have considered. The process is automated, resulting in a complete guide having a consistent structure in a particular format.

  • Publication number: 20240362422
    Abstract: A computing system for revising large language model (LLM) input prompts is provided herein. In one example, the computing system includes at least one processor configured to receive, via a prompt interface, a prompt from a user including an instruction for a trained LLM to generate an output, and generate a first response to the prompt. The at least one processor is configured to assess the first response according to assessment criteria to generate an assessment report for the first response, and generate a revised prompt in response to second input including the first prompt, the first response, the assessment report, and a prompt revision instruction for the LLM to revise the prompt in view of the assessment report. The at least one processor is configured to, in response to final input including the revised prompt, generate a final response to the revised prompt, and output the final response.

  • Publication number: 20240289545
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for creating solution plans to solve problems in an AI system. An example system includes a large language model (LLM), a plan creation component, a plan working memory, and a plan execution component. The plan creation component leverages the power of the LLM to break problems into sets of discrete tasks, or solution plans, which are stored in the plan working memory. As each step of a solution plan is executed by the plan execution component, results are captured in the plan working memory so that the last executed step is captured. The working memory operates in the background of the AI system to ensure that the discrete tasks are executed, managed, and tracked until a complete solution is realized. The self-maintained working memory topology provides a solution to problems areas often encountered in conventional stateless AI system that encounter token limits in problem solving.

  • Publication number: 20240202582
    Abstract: A skill chain comprised of a set of ML model evaluations with which to process an input is generated and used to ultimately produce a model output accordingly. Each ML model evaluation corresponds to a “model skill” of the skill chain. Intermediate output that is generated by a first ML evaluation for a first model skill of the skill chain may subsequently be processed as input to a second ML evaluation for a second model skill of the skill chain, thereby ultimately generating model output for the given input. Such a skill chain can include any number skills according to any of a variety of structures and need not be evaluations using the same ML model.

  • Publication number: 20240201959
    Abstract: Aspects of the present application relate to machine learning (ML) structured result generation. In examples, an instruction of programmatic code that invokes an ML model indicates a result interface in which model output is to be stored. The result interface is processed to generate a data format description for the result interface, such that the input to the ML model further includes the data format description. As a result of providing the data format description as input to the ML model, the ML model is induced to generate structured model output that corresponds to the result interface. The resulting model output is processed to generate an instance of the result interface, for example having one or more corresponding properties from the structured model output. Accordingly, the programmatic code is able to reliably perform subsequent processing based on the generated instance of the result interface.
