For the last decade, global climate politics have revolved around a single number: 1.5 degrees Celsius. The idea was that keeping the planet below this warming threshold would hold many of the worst impacts of climate change in a manageable range. Cross it, and the risks rise sharply into uncharted territory. This year, it became [âŠ] Read more âș

The rumors were true: OpenAI on Thursday announced the release of its new frontier large language model (LLM) family, GPT-5.2.It comes at a pivotal moment for the AI pioneer, which has faced intensifying pressure since rival Googleâs Gemini 3 LLM seized the top spot on major third-party performance leaderboards and many key benchmarks last month, though OpenAI leaders stressed in a press briefing that the timing of this release had...

For the last two years, the fundamental unit of generative AI development has been the "completion." You send a text prompt to a model, it sends text back, and the transaction ends. If you want to continue the conversation, you have to send the entire history back to the model again. This "stateless" architectureâembodied by Google's legacy generateContent endpointâwas perfect for simple chatbots. But as developers move toward autonomous agents... Read more âș

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 âAI agents that code,â most enterprise deployments underperform. The limiting factor is no longer the model. Itâs context: The structure, history and intent surrounding the code being changed. In other words, enterprises are... Read more âș

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...
