Introduction
As a update of the tech highlight, I will try to write down some interesting tech news I found in the week. I hope you enjoy it.
Rayon
Rayon is a collaborative design tool for architects and designers. When you think about collaborative design tools, chances are you immediately start thinking about Figma, the popular design tool that Adobe wants to acquire for $20 billion (by the way, that acquisition is still pending regulatory approval). A relatively new French startup called Rayon wants to apply the Figma formula to another sector — the architecture, engineering and construction industries.

Rete.js
Retejs is JavaScript framework for visual programming
A tailorable TypeScript-first framework for creating processing-oriented node-based editors.
This example showcases the embedding of Rete Studio's Playground, enabling you to input JavaScript code and check its graph representation, which can also be transformed into JavaScript code.
AutoGen
AutoGen is a framework that enables development of LLM applications using multiple agents that can converse with each other to solve task. AutoGen agents are customizable, conversable, and seamlessly allow human participation. They can operate in various modes that employ combinations of LLMs, human inputs, and tools.
Gamma App
Create a working presentation, document or webpage you can refine and customize in under a minute, using our powerful AI generator.
I tried to use this app to create a presentation in 10 second, the content look more fun haha.
Milvus
Vector database built for scalable similarity search, Open-source, highly scalable, and blazing fast.
Milvus was created in 2019 with a singular goal: store, index, and manage massive embedding vectors generated by deep neural networks and other machine learning (ML) models.
As a database specifically designed to handle queries over input vectors, it is capable of indexing vectors on a trillion scale. Unlike existing relational databases which mainly deal with structured data following a pre-defined pattern, Milvus is designed from the bottom-up to handle embedding vectors converted from unstructured data.
Three Cad Viewer
CAD viewer is open source designed to visualize low-level three.js objects, particularly tessellated objects. It outlines key aspects of the viewer, including the structure of objects called "Shapes" and "Shapes" arranged hierarchically in a tree.
Let quick look an example of this viewer.
