When I write about the cognitive migration now underway, brought about by the rapid advance of gen AI, I do so from the perspective of someone who has spent four decades in the technology industry. My own journey runs from coding business applications in Fortran and COBOL to systems analysis and design, IT project management, …
OpenAI’s annual conference for third-party developers, DevDay, kicked off with a bang today as co-founder and CEO Sam Altman announced a new “Apps SDK” that makes it “possible to build apps inside of ChatGPT,” including paid apps, which companies can charge users for using OpenAI’s recently unveiled Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP). In other words, instead …
Presented by DXC Technology The sheer volume and sophistication of incoming threats today has dwarfed attacks from just six months ago, let alone two years ago, because adversaries have leveled up with AI. Naturally, security operations and analysts are under pressure, facing mounting alert volumes and false positives, while organizations scramble to support them amidst …

In the race to automate everything – from customer service to code – AI is being heralded as a silver bullet. The narrative is seductive: AI tools that can write entire applications, streamline engineering teams and reduce the need for expensive human developers, along with hundreds of other jobs. But from my point of view …
Replacing coders with AI? Why Bill Gates, Sam Altman and experience say you shouldn’t. Read More »
A cycle-accurate alternative to speculation — unifying scalar, vector and matrix compute For more than half a century, computing has relied on the Von Neumann or Harvard model. Nearly every modern chip — CPUs, GPUs and even many specialized accelerators — derives from this design. Over time, new architectures like Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW), …

OpenAI will host more than 1,500 developers at its largest annual conference on Monday, as the company behind ChatGPT seeks to maintain its edge in an increasingly competitive artificial intelligence landscape. The third annual DevDay conference at San Francisco’s Fort Mason represents a critical moment for OpenAI, which has seen its dominance challenged by rapid …

Huawei’s Computing Systems Lab in Zurich has introduced a new open-source quantization method for large language models (LLMs) aimed at reducing memory demands without sacrificing output quality. The technique, called SINQ (Sinkhorn-Normalized Quantization), is designed to be fast, calibration-free, and easy to integrate into existing model workflows. The code for performing it has been made …
A new study by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and SII Generative AI Research Lab (GAIR) shows that training large language models (LLMs) for complex, autonomous tasks does not require massive datasets. Their framework, LIMI (Less Is More for Intelligent Agency), builds on similar work in other areas of LLM research and finds that “machine autonomy …

Many enterprises running PostgreSQL databases for their applications face the same expensive reality. When they need to analyze that operational data or feed it to AI models, they build ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) data pipelines to move it into analytical systems. Those pipelines require dedicated data engineering teams, break frequently and create delays measured in …
In the race to deploy generative AI for coding, the fastest tools are not winning enterprise deals. A new VentureBeat analysis, combining a comprehensive survey of 86 engineering teams with our own hands-on performance testing, reveals an industry paradox: developers want speed, but enterprise buyers demand security, compliance and deployment control. This disconnect is reshaping …
