Three tips for building agentic AI systems on cloud platforms
By their very nature, agentic AI systems operate with a large degree of autonomy. This autonomy has real value: Cloud-based agents can remediate incidents, optimize costs, or interact dynamically with users. However, when autonomy is unchecked or poorly defined, you often end up with unpredictable behaviors, inefficiency, or even compliance breaches. Let’s look at three […]

Microsoft’s signals shift from OpenAI with launch of first in-house AI models for Copilot
Independence day According to Microsoft, MAI-1-preview uses an in-house mixture-of-experts model that was pre-trained and post-trained on 15,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, a more modest infrastructure than the 100,000 H100 cluster sizes reportedly used for model development by some rivals. However, with an eye to ramping up performance, Microsoft AI is now running MAI-1-preview on Nvidia’s […]

OpenAI adds MCP and SIP support to gpt-realtime for smarter voice-based agents
Additionally, the model provider said that the updated gpt-realtime model has shown improvements in following complex instructions, calling tools with precision, and producing speech that “sounds more natural and expressive.” These improvements, according to Dai, would help enterprises use the API for enabling low-latency, natural voice interactions for a spectrum of use cases, such as […]

Wave of npm supply chain attacks exposes thousands of enterprise developer credentials
The timing of the Nx compromise coincides with another significant npm supply chain discovery: JFrog announced it had separately uncovered eight malicious packages published on npm, including react-sxt, react-typex, and react-native-control, which contained “highly sophisticated multi-layer obfuscation, with over 70 layers of concealed code.” “Open-source software repositories have become one of the main entry points […]

The discipline of great code
Brilliant code In other words, taking care of the small and precise details will help to ensure that the big picture will be taken care of. If you don’t get the little things right, the big things won’t be right either. Writing clean code, just like polishing forks, becomes a habit. Repetition can be seen as tedious, […]

The differences between cloud, fog and edge computing
Modern distributed computing architectures support significant technological advances, such as AI and smart manufacturing. Each computing model is key to supporting advanced applications that transform the landscape. Digital enterprises have sprawling virtual environments that demand a flexible and resilient infrastructure capable of keeping up with ever-increasing processing and storage requirements. Estimates predict connected devices will […]

Broadcom launches VMware Tanzu Data Intelligence and Tanzu Platform 10.3 to drive agentic AI
The multitude of tools and approaches for approaching this work are “nearly overwhelming”, so the chances of any two teams doing it the same way are minuscule. “This is a governance and scaling nightmare,” he said. “If Broadcom can bring order and velocity to AI experimentation on its journey towards positive ROI, that would go […]

Databricks buys Tecton to give context to AI agents
IDC analyst and associate vice president Sharath Srinivasamurthy said that event-driven automation and analyzing data in motion is a critical enabler for enterprises desiring to scale their agentic systems. “When contextual, event-driven customer data and external signals are captured and analyzed in real time, the efficacy and responsiveness of AI agents significantly improves,” Srinivasamurthy said. Since event-driven agentic automation […]

From cloud migration to cloud optimization
Control over infrastructure was mentioned by 41% of IT leaders. The argument for greater control is not new, but it has gained renewed relevance when paired with cost optimization strategies. Simply put, enterprises are asking tough questions about whether the public cloud meets all their operational needs. For an increasing number of organizations, the answer is no. […]

Microsoft adds MCP support to Visual Studio to boost development of agentic applications
“MCP acts like a secure ‘universal adapter’ for connecting AI agents (like Copilot) to external tools, databases, code search engines, or deployment pipelines, so there are no more one-off integrations for every service,” Walter said. “MCP helps connect to internal company tools securely, meaning that enterprise users can blend public AI advancements with proprietary processes […]
