If Architectures Could Talk, They’d Quote Your Boss

Software architecture reflects how organizations communicate and make decisions. Failures stem from misaligned incentives, unclear ownership, and structural gaps—not technical flaws. Architects must design not just systems, but the conditions for systems to thrive, using platform thinking to reduce friction and foster autonomy.

Deploy MultiModal RAG Systems with vLLM

Stephen Batifol discusses building and optimizing self-hosted, multimodal RAG systems. He breaks down vector search, nearest neighbor indexes (FLAT, IVF, HNSW), and the critical role of choosing the right embedding model. He then explains vLLM inference optimization (paged attention, quantization) and uses Mistral's Pixtral to detail multimodal large language model architecture.
