Organizations are getting caught up in the hype cycle of AI and generative AI, but in so many cases, they don’t have the data foundation needed to execute AI projects. A third of executives think that less than 50% of their organization’s data is consumable, emphasizing the fact that many organizations aren’t prepared for AI. … continue reading
Anthropic has announced the launch of its Claude Enterprise plan, which offers an expanded context window, more usage capacity, a native GitHub integration, and enterprise security features. Claude Enterprise offers a 500K context window. For comparison, Claude Pro’s context window is 200K and the free beta has a varying limit based on demand. According to … continue reading
As AI-driven testing (ADT) becomes increasingly integral to software development, the importance of data privacy and security cannot be overstated. While AI brings numerous benefits, it also introduces new risks, particularly concerning intellectual property (IP) leakage, data permanence in AI models, and the need to protect the underlying structure of code. The Shift in Perception: … continue reading
While many surveys on software developers have found that a majority of them are using AI to generate code, the story is different in the workforce overall. Zoho Corporation’s recently released Data Privacy and Generative AI Usage report reveals that only 24% of employees are using generative AI on a daily basis, and 37% said … continue reading
Imagine searching for a crucial piece of information in a traditional search engine, only to be overwhelmed with thousands of irrelevant results. This limitation is especially problematic in critical industries like nuclear power, where precision and reliability are paramount. Enter sentence embeddings—a powerful, yet often overlooked technology that is set to transform how we access … continue reading
For the past two years, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) has been working on developing a definition for Open Source AI that the industry can use to determine which models are actually considered open, and it has a new draft of the definition to share as it nears the final release in October. According to … continue reading
GitHub’s annual developer survey, which it launched for the first time last year, shows that a majority of developers (97%) have used an AI coding tool at some point, but perceptions of the technology vary country to country. For its survey, GitHub surveyed 2,000 developers from the U.S., Brazil, Germany, and India, with an equal … continue reading
Developers will now be able to fine-tune GPT-4o to get more customized responses that are suited to their unique needs. With fine-tuning, GPT-4o can be improved using custom datasets, resulting in better performance at a lower cost, according to OpenAI. For example, developers can use fine-tuning to customize the structure and tone of a GPT-4o … continue reading
For quite some time, discussion around the dangers of deepfakes were mostly rooted in the hypothetical — focusing on the question of how these tools could be used to cause harm, rather than real-world instances of misuse. However, it wasn’t long before some of those fears became realities. In January, a number of New Hampshire … continue reading
Codeium has announced a new AI assistant called Cortex that uses complex reasoning capabilities to solve difficult coding problems. Rather than enabling smaller, individual tasks such as autocomplete or code completion like existing code assistants, Cortex supports large scale reasoning, code generation, reviews, and knowledge transfer, with greater accuracy, lower latency, and reduced costs. According … continue reading
Anthropic has introduced a new feature to some of its Claude models that will allow developers to cut down on prompt costs and latency. Prompt caching allows users to cache frequently used context so that it can be used in future API calls. According to the company, by equipping the model with background knowledge and … continue reading
