In this tutorial, we explore CUP, Baidu's Common Useful Python library, as a practical utility toolkit for stronger Python workflows. We install it in a Colab-friendly environment and walk its subsystems step by step. We cover logging, decorators, nested configuration, caching, ID generation, thread pools, scheduling, and Linux resource monitoring. Along the way, we connect each module to real tasks like automation, concurrency, and reliability checks.

In this tutorial, we build a RAG-Anything workflow to explore how multimodal retrieval works across text, tables, equations, and images. We prepare a Colab environment, enter our OpenAI API key at runtime, and generate a synthetic report with a chart and PDF. We convert that content into RAG-Anything's direct content_list format and insert it into the retrieval system. We then configure OpenAI chat, vision, and embedding functions and test naive, local, global, and hybrid modes.

Visual Studio Code 1.127, an update to Microsoft’s popular kinda-sorta open-source code editor, brings improvements to the Agents window for managing agent sessions and makes the browser tools for agents generally available. Browser tools for agents was previously a preview feature.
Released July 1, VS Code 1.127 can be downloaded for Windows, Linux, and Mac from code.visualstudio.com.
This release of VS Code features agents that can build and test web apps in the integrated browser, safer per-site browsing with per-site permissions, and new ways to keep agent sessions organized. Browser tools for agents, which let agents open pages in the integrated browser, read content and console errors, take screenshots, and select, type, and navigate to verify its own work, become generally available with this release. The browser tools are now enabled by default.
Per-site browser permissions in the integrated browser allow pages to use more web APIs including geolocation, camera, microphone, a
In this tutorial, we build a full PDF-to-structured-data workflow around Lift, built for controlled evaluation rather than a one-off demo. We prepare a Colab GPU environment, load Lift in 4-bit NF4, and generate synthetic research reports with deliberate distractors. We then run schema-guided extraction, score every field against ground truth, and assemble the results into a queryable knowledge base. The result is a repeatable extraction benchmark, not just raw model outputs.

We build a Colab-ready PyGraphistry workflow for interactive graph analytics on enterprise access data. We generate a synthetic dataset of users, devices, IPs, services, roles, and geos, then convert it into nodes and edges. We enrich the graph with risk scores, centrality metrics, community detection, Isolation Forest anomaly scores, and UMAP layout embeddings. We then bind the graph in PyGraphistry and produce local PyVis visualizations for full, ego, and high-risk views.
