VentureBeat 3 place · 04/26/2026 00:00 EDT

There is a war brewing between AI and consulting. Akin to an armies slow march towards the castle, a new technology is coming to dethrone the expert guessers of Mckinsey, Nielsen, Gartner, Publicis and the rest. Any consulting that involves analyzing people (think all of marketing, research, polling, etc.) will have to reckon with the technology of “synthetic audiences”.Synthetic audiences aim to generate digital versions of people that can then be surveyed almost instantly and affordably, but not as accura

напиши интересную и уникальную статью про нейрослоп, разбери признаки и как чистить, придумай кликабельный заголовок

Сегодня пятница, а значит время немного пошалить и побеседовать на разные нетривиальные темы, к примеру про нейрослоп. Лично я (хочется верить, что) научился вычислять нейрослопосодержащую статью на второй главе, иногда даже на первой, иногда просто пролистав текст даже не читая. Глаз цепляет пару знакомых клише и далее читать уже не хочется. Ну а за последний год таких постов везде (не только на Хабр) стало больше, чем когда-либо, и это утомляет.Нейрослоп... Read more

Лучше нейросети для создания видео: Сравниваем ТОП-7 ИИ для генерации вирусных роликов

Помните времена, когда нейросетевые видео выглядели как психоделический трип, где лица плавились, а физика объектов вызывала лишь нервный смех? За последний год индустрия генеративного контента сделала тектонический сдвиг. Сегодня, чтобы запустить дорогой фэшн-кампейн, оживить статичное фото для рекламы или создать полноценный тизер к фантастическому фильму, больше не нужны съемочная группа, павильоны и бюджеты с шестью нулями. Достаточно открыть ноутбук.Создать видео с помощью нейросети - это теперь полноц Read more

Enterprise teams keep watching the same thing happen. An AI agent demos beautifully, goes to production, and stalls: it runs for a short stretch, then needs a human to top up its context and check its output, and the promised efficiency drains into supervision. The agent did the work; you did the watching. It’s one reason so many agent pilots never turn into production systems.The pitch on the other side... Read more

Your AI agent did exactly what it was designed to do. The framework underneath it just handed an attacker a shell on the box that holds your OpenAI key, your database credentials, and your CRM tokens.That is not a hypothetical. In a few months, three of the most widely deployed AI agent frameworks each turned a known, ordinary bug class into a way through. Check Point Research chained a SQL... Read more

Presented by SolidigmAs 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 availability or compute efficiency, is the question of 2026," says Harthorn. "GPUs have gotten dramatically cheaper per Read more

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 relies heavily on intuition rather than systematic feedback loops, making it difficult to keep pace with...

Presented by F5When 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 RAG systems, underutilized GPUs, and SLA violations, all of which carry direct business consequences. "Org Read more

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," in other words. AI creative tools startup Krea is hoping to change that trend by... Read more
