Artificial intelligence was on the tip of everyone’s tongue, as expected, at the start of last week’s KubeCon/CloudNativeCon North America 2024 in Salt Lake City, until it wasn’t. If anything, the latest flavors of generative AI and agentic AI are merely driving higher future scalability and stability expectations from Kubernetes-based and related cloud-native applications running almost ...

Investors have poured north of $30 billion into independent foundation model players, including OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, Cohere Inc. and Mistral AI as well as others. OpenAI itself has raised more than $20 billion. To keep pace, both Meta Platforms Inc. and xAI Corp. will have to spend comparable amounts. In our view, the stampeding herd of large ...

“When you see a fork in the road, take it.”  Yogi Berra’s famous quip comes in handy for describing my trip last week to Las Vegas for BMC Connect 2024, where this major platform player rolled out products and capabilities that will eventually flow into two new separate businesses it recently announced: BMC and BMC ...

Organizations must learn how to use artificial intelligence effectively and responsibly before reaping the benefits of it. However, when implementing AI, a lack of AI talent and skills is a barrier organizations face. Developing AI literacy throughout the organization is a critical success factor for scaling AI. Organizations not addressing AI literacy will not succeed ...

The sudden explosion of generative artificial intelligence has upended the low-code/no-code landscape, as it has done for so many corners of the software industry. I trekked to the NoCode Summit in Paris this week to get the latest story. I found a surprising mix of vendors: some focusing on gen AI, but more often than ...

Attending the World Summit AI conference in Amsterdam this week gave me a strong sense of déjà vu, harkening back to the InternetWorld conferences of the late 1990s. As with those events, World Summit AI displayed a schizophrenic combination of business solutions and technology offerings, as though people couldn’t make up their mind what they ...

There is a missing ingredient in today’s artificial intelligence, which, when added, will make AI a truly indispensable partner in business and increase return on investment over the long haul. The missing ingredient is causality and the science of why things happen. Here at theCUBE Research, we are focused on informing you about the latest developments shaping AI’s future and ...

During World War II, the U.S. Army Air Forces twice targeted ball bearing factories in Schweinfurt based on the thesis that disrupting manufacturing operations would have an impact on Germany’s ability to produce many forms of war fighting machinery. This pattern is playing out today in the cybersecurity world, where an attack on one industry ...

We believe the artificial intelligence center of gravity for enterprise value creation is shifting from large language models to small language models, where the S not only stands for small but encompasses a system of small, specialized, secure and sovereign models. Moreover, we see LLMs and SLMs evolving to become agentic, hence SAM – small ...

Generative artificial intelligence has the potential to accelerate the information technology strategy creation process and to improve IT strategy quality. However, there are limits in terms of what gen AI can be used for, as well as how it should be used. Many enterprises are already piloting or adopting gen AI to augment and automate ...
