Mistral AI, the Paris-based startup positioning itself as Europe's answer to OpenAI, released a pair of speech-to-text models on Wednesday that the company says can transcribe audio faster, more accurately, and far more cheaply than anything else on the market — all while running entirely on a smartphone or laptop.The announcement marks the latest salvo in an increasingly competitive battle over...
Remote-first AI coding startup Kilo doesn't think software developers should have to pledge their undying allegiance to any one development environment — and certainly not any one model or harness. This week, the startup — backed by GitLab co-founder Sid Sijbrandij — unveiled Kilo CLI 1.0, a complete rebuild of its command-line tool that offers support for more than 500 different underlying AI...
Presented by CertiniaThe initial euphoria around Generative and Agentic AI has shifted to a pragmatic, often frustrated, reality. CIOs and technical leaders are asking why their pilot programs, even those designed to automate the simplest of workflows, aren’t delivering the magic promised in demos.When AI fails to answer a basic question or complete an action correctly, the instinct is to blame...
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba's Qwen team of AI researchers has emerged in the last year as one of the global leaders of open source AI development, releasing a host of powerful large language models and specialized multimodal models that approach, and in some cases, surpass the performance of the proprietary U.S. leaders such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and xAI.Now the Qwen team is back...
Apple on Tuesday announced a major update to its flagship developer tool that gives artificial intelligence agents unprecedented control over the app-building process, a move that signals the iPhone maker's aggressive push into an emerging and controversial practice known as "agentic coding."Xcode 26.3, available immediately as a release candidate, integrates Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's...
Five years ago, Databricks coined the term 'data lakehouse' to describe a new type of data architecture that combines a data lake with a data warehouse. That term and data architecture are now commonplace across the data industry for analytics workloads.Now, Databricks is once again looking to create a new category with its Lakebase service, now generally available today. While the data lakehouse...
Before Claude Code wrote its first line of code, Vercel was already in the vibe coding space with its v0 service.The basic idea behind the original v0, which launched in 2024, was essentially to be version 0. That is, the earliest version of an application, helping developers solve the blank canvas problem. Developers could prompt their way to a user interface (UI) scaffolding that looked good,...
The key to successful AI agents within an enterprise? Shared memory and context. This, according to Asana CPO Arnab Bose, provides detailed history and direct access from the get-go — with guardrail checkpoints and human oversight, of course. This way, “when you assign a task, you're not having to go ahead and re-provide all of the context about how your business works,” Bose said at a recent VB...
OpenAI on Monday released a new desktop application for its Codex artificial intelligence coding system, a tool the company says transforms software development from a collaborative exercise with a single AI assistant into something more akin to managing a team of autonomous workers.The Codex app for macOS functions as what OpenAI executives describe as a "command center for agents," allowing...
Enterprises have moved quickly to adopt RAG to ground LLMs in proprietary data. In practice, however, many organizations are discovering that retrieval is no longer a feature bolted onto model inference — it has become a foundational system dependency.Once AI systems are deployed to support decision-making, automate workflows or operate semi-autonomously, failures in retrieval propagate directly...
