Intuit will show off how it rebuilt its AI infrastructure to support fast and complex tasks at VB Transform 2026
Customer expectations have shifted from simple, fast conversational interactions to complex agentic AI-powered tasks that legacy IT architectures simply can’t handle. To address this, Intuit made the bold decision to overhaul its technical infrastructure for its business platform. The company moved away from its multi-agent setup, which prioritized broad capabilities, to a granular, skill-and-tool-based architecture […]
OpenAI unveils first custom AI inference chip, Jalapeño, with Broadcom — and its development was sped-up with OpenAI’s own models
OpenAI and Broadcom this morning unveiled their first custom AI accelerator chip named “Jalapeño,” positioning it is as a purpose-built processor for large language model (LLM) inference, rather than the more general GPUs offered by the likes of Nvidia or AMD. According to its creators, Jalapeño is designed to support workloads behind ChatGPT, Codex, the […]
Enterprise-grade AI image generation in 2 seconds is here: Krea 2 Raw and Turbo available as open weights under custom license
While many enterprises have already begun integrating AI-generated images, visuals, graphics and videos into their production workflows — there is also a growing pool of data and subjective commentary indicating AI imagery ultimately looks non-distinct, monotonous, and too unoriginal to ensure a brand and its assets stand out from the pack. That it’s “AI slop,” […]
Anthropic launches Claude Tag, replacing its Slack app with a persistent AI teammate that learns, monitors and works autonomously
Anthropic on Tuesday launched Claude Tag, a new product that embeds its most advanced AI model directly inside Slack as a persistent, shared teammate that anyone on a team can delegate work to by simply typing @Claude. The product, available today in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, replaces Anthropic’s existing Claude in Slack […]
A proof of concept forgives a fragile data path. Operational AI does not.
Presented by F5 When enterprises move AI workloads from pilot to production, data delivery often becomes the factor that determines whether those systems can scale reliably. Point-to-point architectures connecting storage directly to compute hold up under demonstration conditions, but they often break down under sustained, concurrent production traffic. The result is stalled inference pipelines, delayed […]
Alibaba’s AI video model rises to No. 2 in global rankings, as OpenAI’s Sora and ByteDance’s Seedance fall away
Alibaba Cloud on Sunday released HappyHorse 1.1, a major upgrade to its AI video generation model that the company says delivers production-ready video synthesis across core content creation scenarios. The model is now live on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio with full API access for enterprise customers and developers, accompanied by a 40% sitewide launch discount […]
No Claude Fable 5? No problem: Sakana achieves frontier performance with new Fugu multi-model, auto synthesis system
Last night, the increasingly enterprise-focused AI startup Sakana launched Fugu, a multi-agent orchestration system that delivers frontier-level AI performance through a single, OpenAI-compatible API. Designed for developers, enterprises, and nations seeking resilience against vendor lock-in and geopolitical export controls, Fugu (Japanese for “pufferfish”), bypasses the traditional monolithic model structure by dynamically routing queries to a […]
Why agentic enterprises need to become learning systems
Presented by Splunk Every day, organizations learn things their AI systems never get to use. A security analyst corrects an AI-generated investigation. A network engineer identifies the root cause of a recurring outage. An observability team discovers that a pattern of latency, logs and infrastructure changes predicts service degradation. A customer operations team learns which […]
Researchers introduce Self-Harness, a framework that lets AI agents rewrite their own rules, boosting performance up to 60%
Not every company can or should build their own frontier AI language model. However, the harness controlling the model is something that most enterprises can and should customize for their specific purposes. Of course, this is easier said than done. Agent harnesses are still largely tuned through manual, ad hoc debugging — a process that […]
AI hit the memory wall — now it needs a new context tier
Presented by Solidigm As inference workloads evolve from discrete question-and-answer exchanges into persistent, multi-step agentic systems, GPU availability is no longer the most critical AI bottleneck. Instead, the bottleneck has migrated from compute to context, says Jeff Harthorn, AI applied research lead at Solidigm. “Why context management has become a primary bottleneck, more than GPU […]
