Protecting capital in today's markets requires immense speed and precision. A financial analyst preparing a deal memo works across licensed market data, internal models, and confidential client files.

Few professions are as exacting as the practice of law. A team reviewing a contract or building a case works inside strictly privileged information, firm-specific playbooks, and a body of law that cha

NVIDIA’s new Scale‑In network infrastructure, the fifth pillar of its AI networking stack, is powered by BlueField‑4 DPUs, DoCA software, and Spectrum‑X Ethernet to deliver dedicated, host‑independent

Prior to Fable, it felt silly to waste too much time improving your coding harness or context strategies. A new model would arrive at the same price (or cheaper!) and paper over most of your problems.

Reducing Retrieval and Calls When a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) agent runs, it often has to plan a search, check the evidence it gets back, and try again when that evidence falls short. Those

Learn how OneAdvanced, a UK enterprise software provider, built a UK-sovereign AI platform by self-hosting Llama 4 Maverick and Llama Guard 4 on Amazon SageMaker AI, with a RAG pipeline on pgvector an

In the modern data landscape, query performance tuning and managing system price-performance is challenging, especially as the number of agentic workloads increase. Even for experienced developers and

Google DeepMind says the latest version of its Gemini Robotics AI model can 'control entire humanoid robots.' While the previous model focused on controlling a humanoid robot's upper body, Gemini Robo

The math behind reinforcement learning (RL) post-training for large language models (LLMs) is notoriously unforgiving. As frontier AI labs push the boundaries of reasoning and coding models using RL p

Last Week in AI #250 is the podcast’s 250th episode, summarizing recent frontier‑AI policy developments. It reports that the U.S. government has granted Anthropic permission to release Mythos‑5 to a l

Enterprises have plenty of powerful models to choose from. The real test is whether the AI an enterprise builds uniquely addresses the needs of the business: improving workflows, tapping into domain k

Many of the most challenging and valuable problems in the world are related to optimization. Now, AI is now making these problems tractable. If you've ever tried to design a microchip, plan a delivery

Today at Google I/O, Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash. This one skipped the -preview modifier and went straight to general availability, and Google appear to be using it for a whole lot of their key p

In this post, we share how we applied Amazon Bedrock and the Amazon Nova family of models to reimagine our Title Suggestion feature. By combining metadata, computer vision, and retrieval-augmented gen

Chinese AI lab DeepSeek's last model release was V3.2 (and V3.2 Speciale) last December. They just dropped the first of their hotly anticipated V4 series in the shape of two preview models, DeepSeek-V

Understanding context is key to understanding human language, an ability which Large Language Models (LLMs) have been increasingly seen to demonstrate to an impressive extent. However, though the eval

Gen Z is increasingly disillusioned with AI - just not enough to stop using it. A new Gallup report released this week, based on responses from nearly 1,600 people ages 14 to 29 across the US, suggest

More organizations are using natural language to query data instead of writing manual SQL. But moving an AI agent from a prototype to a production-ready tool requires rigorous, repeatable testing. Pri

QueryData launches in preview today. It is a tool for translating natural language into database queries with near-100% accuracy. With QueryData, you can build agentic experiences across AlloyDB, Clou
