Data engineers should be working faster than ever. AI-powered tools promise to automate pipeline optimization, accelerate data integration and handle the repetitive grunt work that has defined the profession for decades.Yet, according to a new survey of 400 senior technology executives by MIT Technology Review Insights in partnership with Snowflake, 77% say their data engineering teams' workloads are getting heavier, not lighter.The culprit? The very AI tools meant to help are creating a new set of problems

Apple is one of several tech companies that will contribute to the construction of U.S. President Donald Trump's 90,000-square-foot ballroom, reports CNN. Construction began on the ballroom this week, and the White House's east wing was partially torn down. Trump claims that the ballroom will cost "about $300 million" and that it will be privately funded through donations. The cost has already increased $100 million over the figure that Trump...

Over the last few days our reporters have broken news about two merger discussions that fizzled: Adobe, which was interested in buying video startup Synthesia, and SoftBank, which talked with humanoid robotics maker Agility about a takeover. In both cases, the startups ended up pursuing more venture capital funding at higher valuations.These are just the latest instances of aborted acquisition talks involving artificial intelligence startups that weâve broken over the...

AT&T today launched a new ad campaign that goes after T-Mobile, calling out the "litany of misleading and deceiving claims in T-Mobile's marketing." AT&T's new ad features actor Luke Wilson, with Wilson calling T-Mobile the "master of breaking promises." AT&T points out that the BBB's National Advertising Review Board has recommended T-Mobile change its advertising 16 times over the past four years, though AT&T fails to mention that the NARB...

When you're trying to keep Leica's digital camera lineups straight, the M-System was always the one with optical rangefinder display (and high price tag). However. the company just upended that precedent with the M EV1, a 60MP mirrorless camera with a classic M design but an electronic viewfinder (EVF) in place of the rangefinder. It may upset purists, but it's a move that makes sense from a sales point of...

Well, thatâs not very subtle.

Google is adding a new feature for third-party developers building atop its Gemini AI models that rivals like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, and the growing array of Chinese open source options are unlikely to get anytime soon: grounding with Google Maps.This addition allows developers to connect Google's Gemini AI models' reasoning capabilities with live geospatial data from Google Maps, enabling applications to deliver detailed, location-relevant responses to user queriesâsuch as...

DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence research company that has repeatedly challenged assumptions about AI development costs, has released a new model that fundamentally reimagines how large language models process informationâand the implications extend far beyond its modest branding as an optical character recognition tool.The company's DeepSeek-OCR model, released Monday with full open-source code and weights, achieves what researchers describe as a paradigm inversion: compressing text through vi Read more âș

Researchers at Mila have proposed a new technique that makes large language models (LLMs) vastly more efficient when performing complex reasoning. Called Markovian Thinking, the approach allows LLMs to engage in lengthy reasoning without incurring the prohibitive computational costs that currently limit such tasks.The teamâs implementation, an environment named Delethink, structures the reasoning chain into fixed-size chunks, breaking the scaling problem that plagues very long LLM responses. Initial estimat Read more âș

AI agents â task-specific models designed to operate autonomously or semi-autonomously given instructions â are being widely implemented across enterprises (up to 79% of all surveyed for a PwC report earlier this year). But they're also introducing new security risks. When an agentic AI security breach happens, companies may be quick to fire employees and assign blame, but slower to identify and fix the systemic failures that enabled it.Forresterâs Predictions...

One of the coolest things about generative AI models â both large language models (LLMs) and diffusion-based image generators â is that they are "non-deterministic." That is, despite their reputation among some critics as being "fancy autocorrect," generative AI models actually generate their outputs by choosing from a distribution of the most probable next tokens (units of information) to fill out their response.Asking an LLM: "What is the capital of...

Vibe coding is evolving and with it are the leading AI-powered coding services and tools, including Anthropicâs Claude Code. As of today, the service will be available via the web and, in preview, on the Claude iOS app, giving developers access to additional asynchronous capabilities. Previously, it was available through the terminal on developers' PCs with support for Git, Docker, Kubernetes, npm, pip, AWS CLI, etc., and as an extension... Read more âș

AI models are only as good as the data they're trained on. That data generally needs to be labeled, curated and organized before models can learn from it in an effective way.One of the big missing links in the AI ecosystem has been the availability of a large high-quality open-source multimodal dataset. That changes today with the debut of the EMM-1 dataset which is comprised of 1 billion data pairs... Read more âș

For many software developers using generative AI, vibe coding is a double-edged sword. The process delivers rapid prototypes but often leaves a trail of brittle, undocumented code that creates significant technical debt. A new open-source platform, Codev, addresses this by proposing a fundamental shift: treating the natural language conversation with an AI as part of the actual source code. Codev is based on SP(IDE)R, a framework designed to turn vibe-coding... Read more âș
