A December 2025 paper from Silicon Valley venture capital firm Foundation Capital, titled “ AI’s trillion-dollar opportunity ,” has generated significant excitement in the enterprise AI industry. The reason? It introduces the new concept of a “context graph,” a knowledge graph designed to capture a new AI paradigm known as “decision traces.” The context graph is emerging as a potentially powerful…

As CNBC recently reported , some of the resistance to large AI data center construction is pushing the market to consider a more distributed model, including small compute systems designed for residential settings. The story pointed to pilot-stage thinking among companies such as PulteGroup, Nvidia, and Span, suggesting this is no longer just a home-lab fantasy or a fringe edge-computing thought …

Among today’s emerging technologies, only agentic AI rivals quantum computing in the hype and promises surrounding its enterprise impact. While significant research on quantum computing continues, there are opportunities to learn about and pilot quantum computing today. It took 20 years to go from primitive virtual machines bought on credit cards to the over $900 billion cloud computing industry …

In February 2025, AI developer Andrej Karpathy posted a tweet (or whatever they call them now on the site formerly known as Twitter) about what he called “ vibe coding ”: There’s a new kind of coding I call “vibe coding”, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It’s possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too …

For years, enterprise data conversations centered on platforms. Which warehouse ? Which lakehouse ? Which cloud ? In my recent Forbes pieces, “ Beyond The Enterprise Data Platform: Why Ecosystems Win ” and “ How ERP Data Fits Into The Enterprise Data Ecosystem ,” I argued that the more important question is no longer which platform wins. It is how the enterprise designs the ecosystem around data,…

Recently PwC announced it will train and certify 30,000 staff on Anthropic’s Claude and build an Office of the CFO business around it for banking, insurance, and healthcare clients. Anthropic also recently committed $100 million to a partner network . Not to be outdone, OpenAI stood up the OpenAI Deployment Company , aka “DeployCo”, a new company backed by more than $4 billion in initial investme…

AWS has increased Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights query result limits from 10,000 to 100,000 rows and added pagination support for its GetQueryResults API to help developers and site reliability engineers (SREs) troubleshoot and debug large-scale distributed applications more efficiently. The update to the monitoring and observability service, according to an AWS blog post , will reduce the need …

In the beginning, everyone was surprised that large language models (LLMs) could speak in words. Those days are long past, and now the focus is on the depth of knowledge. The best way to deliver this is with specialization. Instead of developing a one-size-fits-all leviathan, the best teams are building specialized models for niches—one for the doctors, one for the lawyers, one for the bankers, a…

AWS late on Thursday added a new prompt optimization tool to Amazon Bedrock , its fully managed service for building, deploying, and scaling generative AI applications. The tool, Amazon Bedrock Advanced Prompt Optimization, can be accessed through the Bedrock console, and is designed to automatically refine prompts for better accuracy, consistency, and efficiency across multiple large language mo…

An article from AI CERTs reporting on the Anthropic-SpaceX capacity arrangement caught my attention because it highlights a possibility the cloud market has been moving toward for years but has never fully embraced. The traditional assumption has always been simple: If you need elastic infrastructure at scale, you go to a hyperscaler such as AWS, Microsoft, or Google. They own the data centers, t…

The era of “all-you-can-eat” AI coding and agent subscriptions may well be ending. Beginning June 15, Anthropic will separate programmatic Claude usage from standard chat subscription limits, introducing a dedicated monthly credit system, billed at API-style rates, for tools including its Agent SDK, GitHub Actions, and third-party frameworks such as OpenClaw, the company wrote in a blog post . Th…

Notion is expanding its collaborative workspace software with a developer platform for building AI-enabled workflows around enterprise data and workspace content. The Notion Developer Platform adds custom code execution, database sync, external agent support, and workflow triggers, allowing developers and coding agents to extend Notion beyond its traditional role as a workspace app, the company s…

Enterprise environments are changing quickly as organizations adopt cloud platforms , automated infrastructure, and continuous delivery pipelines. Software updates are released more often, and systems are set up automatically using infrastructure-as-code automation tools. While this acceleration allows organizations to deliver software and services faster, it also creates new challenges for secur…

Microsoft recently ended support for Azure Data Studio , its development tool for the SQL Server and Azure SQL databases. Part of a range of tools designed to work with Microsoft’s on-premises and in-cloud SQL databases, Azure Data Studio focused on building and testing queries rather than database administration. In other words, it was a developer-focused, lighter-weight alternative to SQL Serve…

From runtime architecture to process design In a recent InfoWorld article, I introduced t he concept of the Agent Tier — a runtime architecture that separates deterministic enterprise execution from contextual reasoning. The core idea was straightforward: as enterprise workflows incorporate more signals and adaptive models, embedding contextual judgment directly inside branching logic leads to in…
