And now that we've (sort of) recovered, it's time to answer any questions you still have. Did we replace Dom with his clone? Did Jen survive a robot falling on her? Is Vee […] Read more ›

Presented by NetSuiteMost companies racing from startup to an industry leader face a choice: limp along with scrappy early systems or endure a costly platform migration.DoorDash did neither. The local-commerce giant scaled from its 2013 founding through IPO and global expansion — acquiring the Helsiniki-based technology company Wolt in 2022 and UK-based Deliveroo in 2025 — while keeping its original Oracle NetSuite business system. Today, it serves over 50 million... Read more ›

In the fast-moving world of AI development, it is rare for a tool to be described as both "a meme" and AGI, artificial generalized intelligence, the "holy grail" of a model or system that can reliably outperform humans on economically valuable work. Yet, that is exactly where the Ralph Wiggum plugin for Claude Code now sits. Named after the infamously high-pitched, hapless yet persistent character on "The Simpsons," this newish... Read more ›

Joining the ranks of a growing number of smaller, powerful reasoning models is MiroThinker 1.5 from MiroMind, with just 30 billion parameters, compared to the hundreds of billions or trillions used by leading foundation large language models (LLMs).But MiroThinker 1.5 stands out among these smaller reasoners for one major reason: it offers agentic research capabilities rivaling trillion-parameter competitors like Kimi K2 and DeepSeek, at a fraction of the inference cost.The...

Presented by SAPSAP consulting projects today involve a vast amount of documentation, multiple stakeholders, and compressed timelines, which often require manual knowledge retrieval from online SAP documentation. At the same time, cloud ERP programs now demand faster design cycles, continuous enhancements rather than big-bang rollouts, and near-real-time decision-making. Joule for Consultants, SAP's conversational AI solution, was designed to help meet these expectations and support consultants throughout t Read more ›

Enterprise security teams are losing ground to AI-enabled attacks — not because defenses are weak, but because the threat model has shifted. As AI agents move into production, attackers are exploiting runtime weaknesses where breakout times are measured in seconds, patch windows in hours, and traditional security has little visibility or control.CrowdStrike's 2025 Global Threat Report documents breakout times as fast as 51 seconds. Attackers are moving from initial access... Read more ›

A new framework from researchers Alexander and Jacob Roman rejects the complexity of current AI tools, offering a synchronous, type-safe alternative designed for reproducibility and cost-conscious science.In the rush to build autonomous AI agents, developers have largely been forced into a binary choice: surrender control to massive, complex ecosystems like LangChain, or lock themselves into single-vendor SDKs from providers like Anthropic or OpenAI. For software engineers, this is an annoyance.... Read more ›
