Definity embeds agents inside Spark pipelines to catch failures before they reach agentic AI systems

For most data engineering teams, managing pipeline reliability often means waiting for an alert, manually tracing failures across distributed jobs and clusters, and fixing problems after they’ve already hit the business. Agentic AI needs the data to be there, clean and on time. A pipeline that fails silently or delivers stale data doesn’t just break …

How to build custom reasoning agents with a fraction of the compute

Training AI reasoning models demands resources that most enterprise teams do not have. Engineering teams are often forced to choose between distilling knowledge from large, expensive models or relying on reinforcement learning techniques that provide sparse feedback. Researchers at JD.com and several academic institutions recently introduced a new training paradigm that sidesteps this dilemma. The …

American AI startup Poolside launches free, high-performing open model Laguna XS.2 for local agentic coding

The AI race lately has felt a bit like a game of tennis: first, Anthropic releases a new, pricey state-of-the-art proprietary model for general users (Claude Opus 4.7), then, a week or so later, its rival OpenAI volleys back with one of its own (GPT-5.5). And all the while, Chinese companies like DeepSeek and even …

Microsoft and OpenAI gut their exclusive deal, freeing OpenAI to sell on AWS and Google Cloud

Microsoft and OpenAI on Monday announced a sweeping overhaul of the partnership that has defined the commercial AI era, dismantling key pillars of exclusivity and revenue-sharing that bound the two companies together for years and replacing them with a looser, time-limited arrangement that gives both sides far more freedom to pursue rival relationships. The amended …

New AI framework autonomously optimizes training data, architectures and algorithms — outperforming human baselines

AI R&D runs on a cycle of hypothesis, experiment, and analysis — each step demanding substantial manual engineering effort. A new framework from researchers at SII-GAIR aims to close that bottleneck by automating the full optimization loop for training data, model architectures, and learning algorithms. A new framework called ASI-EVOLVE, developed by researchers at the …

Why supply chains are the proving ground for automation‑led iPaaS

Presented by Edgeverve Supply chains are where legacy integration models reach their limits. As partner networks expand and operational volatility increases, traditional middleware is buckling under costs and complexity. That’s why supply chain has emerged as a proving ground for automation‑led integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), a next-generation model designed to absorb constant change …

RAG precision tuning can quietly cut retrieval accuracy by 40%, putting agentic pipelines at risk

Enterprise teams that fine-tune their RAG embedding models for better precision may be unintentionally degrading the retrieval quality those pipelines depend on, according to new research from Redis. The paper, “Training for Compositional Sensitivity Reduces Dense Retrieval Generalization,” tested what happens when teams train embedding models for compositional sensitivity. That is the ability to catch …

AI synthetic audiences are already here and poised to upend the consulting industry

There is a war brewing between AI and consulting. Akin to an armies slow march towards the castle, a new technology is coming to dethrone the expert guessers of Mckinsey, Nielsen, Gartner, Publicis and the rest. Any consulting that involves analyzing people (think all of marketing, research, polling, etc.) will have to reckon with the …
