Last month, along with a comprehensive suite of new AI tools and innovations, Google DeepMind unveiled Gemini Diffusion. This experimental research model uses a diffusion-based approach to generate text. Traditionally, large language models (LLMs) like GPT and Gemini itself have relied on autoregression, a step-by-step approach where each word is generated based on the previous one. Diffusion…
Do reasoning AI models really ‘think’ or not? Apple research sparks lively debate, response
June 17, 2025
Apple’s machine-learning group set off a rhetorical firestorm earlier this month with its release of “The Illusion of Thinking,” a 53-page research paper arguing that so-called large reasoning models (LRMs) or reasoning large language models (reasoning LLMs) such as…
When DeepSeek released its R1 model this January, it wasn’t just another AI announcement. It was a watershed moment that sent shockwaves through the tech industry, forcing industry leaders to reconsider their fundamental approaches to AI development.
What makes…
1Password, the Canadian password management company, announced Monday a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services that puts the firm in position to capitalize on surging enterprise demand for security tools designed for artificial intelligence and cloud-native environments.
The partnership is a major milestone for 1Password, which has transformed from a consumer-focused password…
The advent of natural language search has encouraged people to change how they search for information, and LinkedIn, which has been working with numerous AI models over the past year, hopes this shift extends to job search. LinkedIn’s AI-powered jobs search, now available…
Cutting cloud waste at scale: Akamai saves 70% using AI agents orchestrated by kubernetes
June 17, 2025
Particularly in this dawning era of generative AI, cloud costs are at an all-time high. But that’s not merely because enterprises are using more compute — they’re not using it efficiently. In fact, just this year, enterprises are expected to waste $44.5 billion on…
Why most enterprise AI agents never reach production and how Databricks plans to fix it
June 13, 2025
Many enterprise AI agent development efforts never make it to production and it’s not because the technology isn’t ready. The problem, according to Databricks, is that companies are still relying on manual evaluations with a process that’s slow, inconsistent and difficult to scale.
Today at the Data + AI Summit, Databricks launched Mosaic Agent Bricks as a solution to that challenge. The…
Google DeepMind announced Thursday what it claims is a major breakthrough in hurricane forecasting, introducing an artificial intelligence system that can predict both the path and intensity of tropical cyclones with unprecedented accuracy — a longstanding challenge that…
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) National Board approved the tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group.
The contract on terms for the Interactive Media Agreement will now be submitted to the membership for…
Generative AI adoption has surged by 187% over the past two years. But at the same time, enterprise security investments focused specifically on AI risks have grown by only 43%, creating a significant gap in preparedness as AI attack surfaces rapidly expand. More than 70% of enterprises experienced at least one AI-related breach in the past year alone, with generative models now the primary…
