Companies hate to admit it, but the road to production-level AI deployment is littered with proof of concepts (PoCs) that go nowhere, or failed projects that never deliver on their goals. In certain domains, there’s little tolerance for iteration, especially in something like life sciences, when the AI application is facilitating new treatments to markets or diagnosing diseases. Even slightly...
AI coding, vibe coding and agentic swarm have made a dramatic and astonishing recent market entrance, with the AI Code Tools market valued at $4.8 billion and expected to grow at a 23% annual rate. Enterprises are grappling with AI coding agents and what do about expensive human coders. They don’t lack for advice. OpenAI’s CEO estimates that AI can perform over 50% of what human engineers can...
The developers of Terminal-Bench, a benchmark suite for evaluating the performance of autonomous AI agents on real-world terminal-based tasks, have released version 2.0 alongside Harbor, a new framework for testing, improving and optimizing AI agents in containerized environments. The dual release aims to address long-standing pain points in testing and optimizing AI agents, particularly those...
Across industries, rising compute expenses are often cited as a barrier to AI adoption — but leading companies are finding that cost is no longer the real constraint.
The tougher challenges (and the ones top of mind for many tech leaders)? Latency, flexibility and capacity.
At Wonder, for instance, AI adds a mere few cents per order; the food delivery and takeout company is much more concerned...
Researchers at New York University have developed a new architecture for diffusion models that improves the semantic representation of the images they generate. “Diffusion Transformer with Representation Autoencoders” (RAE) challenges some of the accepted norms of building diffusion models. The NYU researcher's model is more efficient and accurate than standard diffusion models, takes advantage...
Even as concern and skepticism grows over U.S. AI startup OpenAI's buildout strategy and high spending commitments, Chinese open source AI providers are escalating their competition and one has even caught up to OpenAI's flagship, paid proprietary model GPT-5 in key third-party performance benchmarks with a new, free model. The Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI’s new Kimi K2 Thinking model, released...
Google Cloud is introducing what it calls its most powerful artificial intelligence infrastructure to date, unveiling a seventh-generation Tensor Processing Unit and expanded Arm-based computing options designed to meet surging demand for AI model deployment — what the company characterizes as a fundamental industry shift from training models to serving them to billions of users.The announcement...
Presented by Salesforce Vibe coding — the fast-growing trend of using generative AI to spin up code from plain-language prompts — is quick, creative, and great for instant prototypes. But many argue that it's not cut out for building production-ready business apps with the security, governance, and trusted infrastructure that enterprises require. In other words, a few saved hours in development...
Presented by ArmAI is no longer confined to the cloud or data centers. Increasingly, it’s running directly where data is created — in devices, sensors, and networks at the edge. This shift toward on-device intelligence is being driven by latency, privacy, and cost concerns that companies are confronting as they continue their investments in AI. For leadership teams, the opportunity is clear, says...
By now, enterprises understand that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) allows applications and agents to find the best, most grounded information for queries. However, typical RAG setups could be an engineering challenge and also exhibit undesirable traits. To help solve this, Google released the File Search Tool on the Gemini API, a fully managed RAG system “that abstracts away the retrieval...
