Read MoreWhy benchmarks are key to AI progress
Benchmarks are often reduced to leaderboard standings in media coverage, but their role in AI development is far more critical. They are the backbone of model evaluation—guiding improvements, enabling reproducibility, and ensuring real-world applicability. Whether you’re a developer, data scientist, or business leader, understanding benchmarks is essential for navigating the AI landscape effectively. At their core, benchmarks are standardized evaluations designed to measure AI capabilities. Early […]
Read MoreErasing the trust gap in AI-driven development
Although software developers still write much of the code and integrate systems, their role is expanding to include AI oversight. Today’s developers might spend as much time reviewing AI-generated code as writing original code. They act as the last line of defense, ensuring that “almost right” code is made fully right before it hits production. […]

Read MoreApache Flink integrates AI for real-time decision-making
With the 2.1 release, Apache Flink also now supports Process Table Functions (PTFs), the most powerful kind of function for Flink SQL and Table API, the PMC said. Conceptually, a PTF is a superset of all other user-defined functions, mapping zero, one, or multiple tables to zero, one, or multiple rows. This enables implementing user-defined […]
Read MoreGoogle upgrades Agent2Agent protocol with gRPC and enterprise-grade security
This ability is critical for developers and large enterprises, especially Fortune 500 companies, as they won’t deploy agents that can’t prove their identity cryptographically, said Paul Chada, co-founder of DoozerAI — an agentic digital worker platform. Seconding Chada, HyperFRAME’s Walter said that the new security capability will help enterprises ensure that appropriate access control and […]
