Everyone's talking about AI agents, but most explanations overcomplicate it. 

An agent is just instructions that tell AI how to think and execute action. Not just what to do, but how to approach problems. Think of it as capturing your best decision-making process in a format that scales and always executes the same way. 

Here's what matters when you build one.

Cisco IT recently evaluated fine-tuning embedding models using NVIDIA Nemotron RAG fine-tuning recipe as part of an effort to improve retrieval accuracy for domain-specific enterprise data. The objective was not to redesign existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, but to understand whether targeted embedding fine-tuning could materially improve semantic search quality with reasonable effort and fast turnaround. Through this experiment, Cisco was able to validate firsthand that embedding fine-tuning, combined with synthetic data generation, can deliver measurable accuracy gains within a short time frame. The experiment also demonstrated strong time-to-value, enabling rapid iteration and clear performance signals without long training cycles or extensive manual labeling. The reduced turnaround of only a few days to understand the immediate benefits was a key outcome of this collaboration.
The embedding model training and evaluation workflow was executed on Cisco AI PODs running Cisco UCS 885A infrastructure powered by NVIDIA HGX platform.
