Snowflake has extended support for Cortex Code CLI, its terminal-based AI coding agent, to dbt and Apache Airflow to help data practitioners streamline engineering workflows. “With this extended support, developers unlock secure, context-aware AI assistance within their preferred data engineering systems — empowering teams to work with data wherever it lives, and build, manage, and

High inference latency and spiraling GPU costs have emerged as the primary bottlenecks for IT leaders deploying agentic AI systems. These workflows often generate thousands of tokens per query, creating a performance gap that current hardware struggles to bridge. Now, researchers from the University of Maryland, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, Columbia University, and TogetherAI say

With its new Frontier platform, announced earlier this month, OpenAI is looking to position itself as the best option for managing enterprise AI agents. But to succeed, the company that delivered the popular ChatGPT in 2022 will need to show it can manage the complexity of large-scale agent deployments — and do so better than 

As it bids to push further into the enterprise, OpenAI announced Monday that it has partnered with several large consulting firms. Frontier Alliances, as the partner initiative is called, will involve work with Accenture, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Capgemini, and McKinsey & Co. The multi-year partnerships will “help customers define strategy, integrate systems, redesign workflows,

When it comes to hardware and services revenues, storage is Apple’s secret spell. Not only has iCloud storage become Apple’s most frequently paid-for service, but people are more often purchasing additional storage when acquiring new Apple hardware. This is good business for the company and all it had to do to build that business was

Nvidia has been talking about sovereign AI for years, but is finding that India’s cultural and economic diversity calls for a different approach. Unlike in the US, truckloads of GPUs won’t drive the chipmaker’s expansion in India. Instead, the company plans to focus on software first, and deal with computing power  later. It’s betting on

The web scraping wars have just intensified.   In December, Google announced that it was taking action against web scraping company SerpApi, whose API lets customers’ scrapers mimic human searching, claiming that the company’s tool was “circumventing security measures” that protect its search results to feed the voracious appetite for training data required by many

For at least the last six or so years, Microsoft has worked hard to portray itself as a kinder, gentler tech company, a stark contrast to other Big Tech behemoths like Meta, Google, Amazon, and — since Donald J. Trump’s election to the presidency in 2024 —  Apple. Even The New York Times has noted

Physical AI – the branch of artificial intelligence that controls robots and industrial machinery in the real world – has a hierarchy problem. At the top, OpenAI and Google are scaling multimodal foundation models. In the middle, Nvidia is building the platforms and tools for physical AI development. And then there is a third camp:

AI dairy farming has found its most ambitious deployment yet – not in a Silicon Valley lab nor a European agri-tech campus, but in the villages of Gujarat, India, where 36 lakh (3.6 million) women milk producers are now being served by an AI assistant named Sarlaben. Amul, the world’s largest dairy cooperative, has launched
