The intelligence of AI models isn’t what’s blocking enterprise deployments. It’s the inability to define and measure quality in the first place. That’s where AI judges are now playing an increasingly important role. In AI evaluation, a “judge” is an AI system that scores outputs from another AI system. Judge Builder is Databricks’ framework for …
When the transformer architecture was introduced in 2017 in the now seminal Google paper “Attention Is All You Need,” it became an instant cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence. Every major large language model (LLM) — from OpenAI’s GPT series to Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s Llama — has been built on some variation of …
Market researchers have embraced artificial intelligence at a staggering pace, with 98% of professionals now incorporating AI tools into their work and 72% using them daily or more frequently, according to a new industry survey that reveals both the technology’s transformative promise and its persistent reliability problems. The findings, based on responses from 219 U.S. …
Enterprise AI has a data problem. Despite billions in investment and increasingly capable language models, most organizations still can’t answer basic analytical questions about their document repositories. The culprit isn’t model quality but architecture: Traditional retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems were designed to retrieve and summarize, not analyze and aggregate across large document sets. Snowflake …

An international team of researchers has released an artificial intelligence system capable of autonomously conducting scientific research across multiple disciplines — generating papers from initial concept to publication-ready manuscript in approximately 30 minutes for about $4 each. The system, called Denario, can formulate research ideas, review existing literature, develop methodologies, write and execute code, create …
A quiet revolution is reshaping enterprise data engineering. Python developers are building production data pipelines in minutes using tools that would have required entire specialized teams just months ago. The catalyst is dlt, an open-source Python library that automates complex data engineering tasks. The tool has reached 3 million monthly downloads and powers data workflows …
