There’s practically a new study examining artificial intelligence’s impact on the workplace every week. Microsoft and LinkedIn released their annual Work Trend Index last month, concluding workers are embracing AI while employers remain largely paralyzed by indecision. Now, Asana and Anthropic have teamed up on this year’s State of AI at Work study. More than 5,000 U.S. and U.K. knowledge…
A new whitepaper released last week by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) quantifies the exponential growth potential of AI power requirements. The 35-page report titled, “Powering Intelligence: Analyzing Artificial Intelligence and Data Center Energy…
Stability AI is opening up its generative AI efforts for audio today with the release of Stable Audio Open 1.0. Stability AI is perhaps best known for its stable diffusion text-to-image generation AI technology, but that’s only one part of the company’s broader…
RelationalAI, a startup that applies artificial intelligence directly to relational data, today announced the general availability of its Knowledge Graph Coprocessor on the Snowflake Data Cloud.

New AI innovations and benchmarks are announced every day (often multiple times a day), and enterprises are clamoring to take advantage. But sometimes it can be difficult to bridge the gap between what works in the lab and what works in the enterprise pipeline. To help…
Foundation models have revolutionized the fields of computer vision and natural language processing. Now, a group of researchers believe the same principles can be applied to create foundation agents, AI systems that can perform open-ended decision-making tasks in the…
After making headlines with the announcement of Polaris, a vendor-neutral open data catalog for Apache Iceberg, Snowflake is launching new tools to help enterprises double down on the development of trusted AI-powered applications. In his second keynote of the company’s annual data cloud summit, CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy shared several enhancements for the Cortex AI service and Snowflake ML to make…
There’s more than one way to handle AI fine tuning, training and inference at the edge. Among the options beyond just a GPU is using a neural processing unit (NPU), from silicon vendor Kneron. At the Computex conference in Taiwan today, Kneron detailed its next…
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, gave a keynote at the Computex trade show in Taiwan about transforming AI models with Nvidia NIM (Nvidia inference microservices) so that AI applications can be deployed within minutes rather than weeks.
He said the world’s world’s 28 million…
