Your best data science team just spent six months building a model that predicts customer churn with 90% accuracy. It’s sitting on a server, unused. Why? Because it’s been stuck in a risk review queue for a very long period of time, waiting for a committee that doesn’t understand stochastic models to sign off. This…

As 50,000 attendees descend on Salesforce's Dreamforce conference this week, the enterprise software giant is making its most aggressive bet yet on artificial intelligence agents, positioning itself as the antidote to what it calls an industry-wide "pilot purgatory" where 95% of enterprise AI projects never reach production. The company on Monday launched Agentforce 360, a…

Imagine you do two things on a Monday morning. First, you ask a chatbot to summarize your new emails. Next, you ask an AI tool to figure out why your top competitor grew so fast last quarter. The AI silently gets to work. It scours financial reports, news articles and social media sentiment. It cross-references…

AI tools are revolutionizing software development by automating repetitive tasks, refactoring bloated code, and identifying bugs in real-time. Developers can now generate well-structured code from plain language prompts, saving hours of manual effort. These tools learn from vast codebases, offering context-aware recommendations that enhance productivity and reduce errors. Rather than starting from scratch, engineers can…

It seems like almost every week for the last two years since ChatGPT launched, new large language models (LLMs) from rival labs or from OpenAI itself have been released. Enterprises are hard pressed to keep up with the massive pace of change, let alone understand how to adapt to it — which of these new…

How a semiconductor veteran turned over a century of horticultural wisdom into AI-led competitive advantage For decades, a ritual played out across ScottsMiracle-Gro’s media facilities. Every few weeks, workers walked acres of towering compost and wood chip piles with nothing more than measuring sticks. They wrapped rulers around each mound, estimated height, and did what…

Researchers at Nvidia have developed a new technique that flips the script on how large language models (LLMs) learn to reason. The method, called reinforcement learning pre-training (RLP), integrates RL into the initial training phase rather than saving it for the end. This approach encourages the model to “think for itself before predicting what comes…

The friction of having to open a separate chat window to prompt an agent could be a hassle for many enterprises. And AI companies are seeing an opportunity to bring more and more AI services into one platform, even integrating into where employees do their work. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, although still a separate window, is gradually…

OpenAI’s annual developer conference on Monday was a spectacle of ambitious AI product launches, from an app store for ChatGPT to a stunning video-generation API that brought creative concepts to life. But for the enterprises and technical leaders watching closely, the most consequential announcement was the quiet general availability of Codex, the company's AI software…

Enterprises expanding AI deployments are hitting an invisible performance wall. The culprit? Static speculators that can't keep up with shifting workloads. Speculators are smaller AI models that work alongside large language models during inference. They draft multiple tokens ahead, which the main model then verifies in parallel. This technique (called speculative decoding) has become essential…
