Who does the unsexy but essential work for open source?
Walk into any developer conference and you’ll see a predictable parade of laptop stickers: the cloud-native darlings, the hip new database, the obligatory mascot or two. It’s the developer variation of virtue signalling or calling out one’s tribe. What you won’t see—at least not often—are the logos of the companies that quietly push more code […]

Why 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 […]
