  • Publication number: 20260030525
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating a hybrid prompt for a retrieval augmented generation (RAG) model. In particular, the disclosed systems can generate utilizing a large language model at indexing time for a content item, a topic summary for a topic within the content item. Moreover, the disclosed systems can add the topic summary to a summary knowledge corpus that includes topic summary for a plurality of topics extracted from content items. In one or more cases, at runtime for the RAG model, the disclosed systems can receive prompt language and in response, determine one or more topic summaries that correspond to the prompt language. The disclosed systems can further generate a hybrid prompt by combining the one or more topic summaries with retrieved data accessed by the RAG model in response to the prompt language.

  • Publication number: 20250272475
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating and providing content update synopses using a large language model. In particular, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems determine, for a collaborative workspace of a content management system, activity metadata defining user account activity across a plurality of user accounts performing actions within the collaborative workspace. Further, the disclosed systems can generate, from the activity metadata, a text representation of the user account activity indicating the actions within the collaborative workspace that occur between a first timestamp and a second timestamp. Additionally, the disclosed systems can generate a summary generation prompt from the text representation of the user account activity.

  • Publication number: 20250094708
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating content-item-specific large language model responses from content items by segmenting a content item and selecting relevant sections of the content item to provide to a large language model to generate a corresponding output. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems can generate a text representation that includes a plurality of text segments each comprising a number of tokens of the text representation. Further, the systems can extract, from the plurality of text segments, segment-specific text embeddings that correspond to respective portions of the text representation of the content item. Additionally, the systems can determine a segment-specific text embedding corresponding to a model output request.

  • Patent number: 12039063
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a link service that can create, maintain, and service links to objects on behalf of a content management system or other services. The link service can share administration of links with other services when desired or can even allow other services to issue the link and manage the object that is the subject of the link while providing other functions to support the link. Additionally, link service can interface with a file system that can support links as actors in the file system, whereby greater control and flexibility in supporting links is provided. Link service can also accommodate servicing and management of links issued by legacy services, where the legacy services have unique link logic that should still be utilized to maintain a consistent user experience.

  • Patent number: 10686289
    Abstract: A solid-state laser amplifier includes a core material providing an active gain medium. A cladding material is on the core material that is the same material as the core material that further comprises a broadband absorber material. The cladding material suppresses transverse oscillations in solid-state, single-crystal or ceramic laser amplifiers by employing a native-material, solid-state, index-matched cladding containing an appropriate broadband absorber.

  • Patent number: 9225137
    Abstract: The carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of a laser pulse has been shown to influence many physical processes such as pulse propagation through polar molecules, cross-phase modulation, ponderomotive surface-plasmon electron acceleration, photoemission from metallic surfaces, terahertz emission from the laser breakdown of air, above-threshold ionization, high harmonic generation, and attosecond pulse generation. Current technology does not allow for the CEP stabilization of chirped pulse amplification (CPA) systems operating at a repetition rate much lower than a kHz. The inventors disclose apparatus and methods that enable CEP control in CPA systems operating at arbitrarily-low repetition rates.

  • Patent number: 9215182
    Abstract: Content is received within a network at a content receiver and that is communicated from a content source, where the content comprises packets to be sent to the content receiver that are marked with a first drop priority or a second drop priority. A network priority is detected at the content receiver that is based at least in part upon a ratio of packets marked with the first drop priority to packets marked with the second drop priority within the content and also a determination at the content receiver of a rate of packets dropped that are marked with the first drop priority and a rate of packets dropped that are marked with the second drop priority.
