This Thursday at 16:00 we are back with Zeta Alpha's Trends in AI.
Together with Edwin Rijgersberg (ex-NFI LLM expert, author of GEITje) we will be dissecting the latest AI news, models, papers, and the current state of Sovereign AI, Local LLMs and Open Source AI.

Or join us to hear about our own R&D work at the Workshop on Conversational Search for Complex Information Needs. convsearch-complex-info-needs.github.io #ecir2026
At @zeta-alpha.bsky.social, we integrate cutting-edge IR research into VLM-based RAG, Deep Research & AI agents. Proud to sponsor #ECIR2026! Visit our booth (yes! We are hiring... www.zeta-alpha.com/about) #ecir2026
The real differentiator in enterprise AI? Reliable retrieval of evidence across messy unstructured content, fragmented systems, and strict access rules. Robust retrieval powers RAG & agentic AI workflows with grounded answers, traceable citations, and permission-aware outputs. #ecir2026
Excited to connect w/ IR community at @ecir2026.eu in Delft this week! R&D on search, relevance & evaluation is the foundation any advanced AI deployment in knowledge-heavy domains. The future? Agentic search systems that plan, query, evaluate & iterate, built on proven IR fundamentals. #ecir2026
LLM Evals become the engine for self-improving systems that outperform hand-written prompts and multi-agent systems. @abcamara.com talks Friday at @irlab-amsterdam.bsky.social's SEA on how Deep Research agents evolve without human intervention.

While many are still stuck in the discussion phase, we’re delivering a blueprint for European AI independence, run by strong local businesses. 6/6
Read the full Press Release: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/oediv-a...
The whole thing runs on Zeta Alpha’s software, giving you state-of-the-art Deep Research, RAG, and AI agents, and it is built to securely tap into the internal knowledge hidden in your company’s own documents, making sure every answer is grounded in facts you actually own. 5/6
Everything stays in OEDIV’s high-security centers, protected from the US CLOUD Act. This specific setup is "Compliance by Design" so even high-risk use cases can go live while staying strictly within GDPR and AI Act rules. 4/6
Together with OEDIV, we are launching a new sovereign AI infrastructure hosted entirely in Germany. It’s the best of both worlds: the steady foundation of a trusted local family business combined with the agility of a pioneering AI startup, turning advanced sovereign AI into a practical reality. 3/6
In 2026, European organizations are increasingly forced to rethink their strategic IT choices and data sovereignty, while at the same time pushing to accelerate their AI adoption, and facing heightened requirements around compliance and risk management. 2/6
It takes local champions that act to build digital sovereignty. That’s why Zeta Alpha is teaming up with OEDIV, part of the Dr. Oetker Group, to deliver Sovereign AI and to securely connect companies’ internal knowledge with locally run AI models. 🧵 1/6 Reach out via lnkd.in/dktJM9W to learn more.

Enjoy Discovery!
Our new release allows your teams to not only create and schedule, but also to share powerful enterprise-ready AI Agents that connect securely to your internal knowledge, public research, and the web. Zeta Alpha empowers your teams to achieve more together, and faster.
The great thing with AI agents is that they can do work in the background while you are busy doing something else, which is why we have built controls so that you are able to schedule them and they send you a notification when they are done.
Everyone is experimenting with AI Agents, but few are able to show real success yet. One of the main reasons is that AI Agents need a secure connection to your company’s internal and external knowledge sources, and that’s exactly where Zeta Alpha comes in.
Zeta Alpha launches custom AI agents built for knowledge-intensive enterprise teams. Easily create, share, schedule and manage your own AI agents that get real work done.
This month’s Trends in AI webinar focused on something that's rapidly moving from hype to reality: AI for scientific discovery, especially in chemistry, pharma, and materials science.
Read more about it here: www.zeta-alpha.com/post/trends-...
We'll cover how AI agents are accelerating research today, how close LLMs are to exploring new scientific ideas, and how they can support researchers’ knowledge work. As always, we'll round it out with the latest news in AI R&D, open-source releases, and the most trending papers of the month!
Join us tomorrow at 5PM CET / 8AM PT, for a special episode of our Trends in AI show, with a focus on AI for scientific discovery in chemistry, life sciences, and pharma.

Good advice. Don’t select AI vendors based on capital raised, news headlines or Gigawatts of compute, but on ability to partner and to deliver.
The most interesting takeaway from the keynote? 84% of IT leaders don’t track accuracy. How can you govern and improve something that you don’t measure.

Reporting for @zeta-alpha.bsky.social from Gartner Xpo Barcelona this week, and rest assured: it’s all about AI agents #GartnerSYM
RAG in production is no longer "retrieve a few documents, paste into a prompt, and hope the answer is correct". The modern pattern is Agentic RAG: plan-execute loops, search across enterprise sources and the web, shared memory, tool use, and verification.

For enterprises and organizations deploying AI apps in production, AI Safety is no longer optional. And by AI Safety we don't mean some abstract "AI risk", but the practical policies, controls, and engineering that keep systems secure, compliant, and trustworthy.
