The deep learning revolution has a curious blind spot: the spreadsheet. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have mastered the nuances of human prose and image generators have conquered the digital canvas, the structured, relational data that underpins the global economy — the rows and columns of ERP systems, CRMs, and financial ledgers — has so far been treated as just another file format similar...
Presented by SAPSAP’s AI solution, Joule, has already transformed how business users work — turning siloed data and tasks into intelligent, connected workflows. But consultants on SAP projects face a different set of needs: navigating complex implementations, evolving best practices, and the pressure to deliver faster. They need timely, expert-level guidance. They need an AI partner that can...
OpenAI launched Frontier, a platform for building and governing enterprise AI agents, as companies increasingly question whether to commit to single-vendor systems or maintain multi-model flexibility.The platform offers integrated tools for agent execution, evaluation, and governance in one place. But Frontier also reflects OpenAI's push into enterprise AI at a moment when organizations are...
Today’s LLMs excel at reasoning, but can still struggle with context. This is particularly true in real-time ordering systems like Instacart. Instacart CTO Anirban Kundu calls it the "brownie recipe problem."It's not as simple as telling an LLM ‘I want to make brownies.’ To be truly assistive when planning the meal, the model must go beyond that simple directive to understand what’s available in...
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...
