Presented by T-Mobile for BusinessSmall and mid-sized businesses are adopting AI at a pace that would have seemed unrealistic even a few years ago. Smart assistants that greet customers, predictive tools that flag inventory shortages before they happen, and on-site analytics that help staff make decisions faster — these used to be features of the enterprise. Now they’re being deployed in retail storefronts, regional medical clinics, branch offices, and remote operations hubs.What’s changed is not just the A

"I won't claim to be a gamer, but I was aware, broadly, of some of the concepts present in Final Fantasy," Tom Morello - singer, songwriter and political activist, and Rage Against the Machine guitarist - tells me when I ask him if he was aware of the political themes of Final Fantasy 14. Since its (re)release in 2014, FF14 has tackled issues such as anti-colonialism, class struggle, and nationalism,... Read more ›

There's no shortage of generative AI benchmarks designed to measure the performance and accuracy of a given model on completing various helpful enterprise tasks — from coding to instruction following to agentic web browsing and tool use. But many of these benchmarks have one major shortcoming: they measure the AI's ability to complete specific problems and requests, not how factual the model is in its outputs — how well it...

Nvidia launched the new version of its frontier models, Nemotron 3, by leaning in on a model architecture that the world’s most valuable company said offers more accuracy and reliability for agents. Nemotron 3 will be available in three sizes: Nemotron 3 Nano with 30B parameters, mainly for targeted, highly efficient tasks; Nemotron 3 Super, which is a 100B parameter model for multi-agent applications and with high-accuracy reasoning and Nemotron...

Gen AI in software engineering has moved well beyond autocomplete. The emerging frontier is agentic coding: AI systems capable of planning changes, executing them across multiple steps and iterating based on feedback. Yet despite the excitement around “AI agents that code,” most enterprise deployments underperform. The limiting factor is no longer the model. It’s context: The structure, history and intent surrounding the code being changed. In other words, enterprises are... Read more ›

It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn't enough to meet the growing data requirements for agentic AI.RAG emerged in the last couple of years to become the default approach for connecting LLMs to external knowledge. The pattern is straightforward: chunk documents, embed them into vectors, store them in a database, and retrieve the most similar passages when queries arrive. This works adequately for one-off...

Presented by TwilioThe customer data infrastructure powering most enterprises was architected for a world that no longer exists: one where marketing interactions could be captured and processed in batches, where campaign timing was measured in days (not milliseconds), and where "personalization" meant inserting a first name into an email template.Conversational AI has shattered those assumptions.AI agents need to know what a customer just said, the tone they used, their emotional...
