    Robots.txt remains a basic signal for polite crawlers, but it can no longer describe the main problem: the same public content can serve classic search, AI answers

    The traditional robots.txt file, designed in 1994, is no longer sufficient for managing web content access in the age of AI. Modern AI crawlers have diverse purposes, including training foundation models, providing grounded answers, and fulfilling user requests, which the simple allow/disallow directives of robots.txt cannot differentiate. Website operators now need more sophisticated methods to verify bot identities, define access purposes, and enforce rules beyond the basic protocol to protect valuable content. AI

    Robots.txt remains a basic signal for polite crawlers, but it can no longer describe the main problem: the same public content can serve classic search, AI answers

    IMPACT AI crawlers' varied needs expose the inadequacy of old web protocols, necessitating new methods for content access control and data protection.

    Benchmarking Google Embeddings 2 against Open-Source Models for Multilingual Dense Retrieval and RAG Systems

    A new paper benchmarks Google Embeddings 2 (GE2) against several open-source models for multilingual dense retrieval and RAG systems. GE2 achieved top performance across multiple tasks, including BEIR and an Italian RAG corpus, but exhibited significantly higher latency compared to local models. Multilingual-E5-large (mE5-L) offered comparable performance on Italian retrieval with much lower latency, making it a more practical choice for applications with strict response time requirements. AI

    IMPACT Highlights trade-offs between cutting-edge performance and latency in retrieval models, guiding practical deployment choices.
