Larameili: Laravel models for Meilisearch chunked search

A technical tutorial introduces Larameili, a PHP package that maps Meilisearch indexes to Active Record–style models in Laravel so developers can store and query document chunks (including vector embeddings) directly in Meilisearch. The article covers installation via Composer, index/model configuration (searchable, filterable fields, and embedders), syncing settings, bulk import and update methods, hybrid keyword+vector search with a semantic weighting parameter, pagination returning Laravel paginator objects, and resolving related Eloquent records from hits.

• The Larameili package can be installed via Composer: composer require edulazaro/larameili.
• Larameili gives a Meilisearch index an Active Record model so chunks can be queried like Eloquent models without being stored in the database.
• Models declare searchable and filterable fields and optional embedders (example uses an OpenAI embedder with model text-embedding-3-small).

Richard Socher's Recursive Raises $4.65B Seed for Self-Improving AI

In a podcast episode, Richard Socher discusses his new venture, Recursive, which raised a $4.65B seed round to develop self-improving AI systems. Socher outlines his vision of a 'Eureka Machine' that can automate AI research itself, compressing years of human work into weeks. He details early results where Recursive's system outperformed humans and other agents on optimization tasks like NanoChat, NanoGPT, and NVIDIA GPU kernels. He critiques Anthropic's constitutional AI approach as ineffective and advocates for open-source models as geopolitical soft power. He also shares his framework of ten 'spaces of intelligence' and discusses the potential of AI for driving scientific breakthroughs in areas like energy, materials, and biology.

• Recursive raised a $4.65B seed round.
• Richard Socher is the founder of Recursive, You.com, and AIX Ventures.
• Recursive's AI system outperformed humans and agents on optimization tasks in under two days.
