AI, Platforms, And Big Promises: What We Saw At Red Hat Summit

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , ,
IT platform teams’ responsibilities in 2024 are expanding radically. They’re being asked to provide cost-effective alternative solutions for the VMware virtualization technology that typically dominates enterprise IT. While they’re at it, could they please also stand up state-of-the-art AI platforms that can support generative AI in the data center and cloud that work as well as big cloud-managed AI services but for less money? Those were the big questions hanging over some 6,000 attendees of Red Hat Summit in Denver May 6–9. Red Hat responded with a series of announcements of offerings — some immediate, some long-term — that are…

Data Moats in Generative AI

stp2y0 CommentsNews
The deep learning wave of the early 2010s led to a surge of data-hungry products. These products needed so much data that gathering it requires significant investment. So, the business community started honing the idea of data as a strategic asset and a business moat. As the Economist put it in a 2017 issue, “The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data.” This essay discusses data moats in today’s context of generative AI, which is driven by models that are exponentially more data-hungry. But first, what is a data moat? what is even an “AI product”?A data…

Why ChatGPT feels more “intelligent” than Google Search

stp2y0 CommentsNews
The Google Search bar doesn’t feel like an artificial intelligence. No one speculates that it might soon become an artificial general intelligence (AGI) — an entity that is competitive across many domains to a human being.But do you know many “generally intelligent” humans who can muster a decent translation into and out of 133 languages? Or a co-worker who can perform mathematical operations instantly, know a good route between pretty much any two locations on the planet, and proffer a plausible answer to every question you might ask, in less than a second? Sure, these answers aren’t original, and nor are they…

Don’t Mock Machine Learning Models In Unit Tests

stp2y0 CommentsNews
I’ve been applying typical unit testing practices to machine learning code and it hasn’t been straightforward. In software, units are small, isolated pieces of logic that we can test independently and quickly. In machine learning, models are blobs of logic learned from data, and machine learning code is the logic to learn and use these derived blobs of logic. This difference makes it necessary to rethink how we unit test machine learning code. How ML code differs from regular software In software, we write code that contains logic; in ML, we write code that learns logic and then uses that…

BeAble Capital invests €174K in Ecogranular’s wastewater treatment tech

stp2y0 CommentsNews
Spanish private equity fund BeAble Capital has invested €174,000 in Ecogranular, a spin-off of the University of Granada, whose technology aims to transfer wastewater treatment, reducing the water footprint and operating expenses and raising the quality of our waters. One of the biggest challenges that cities face is to optimally manage wastewater treatment, minimising energy expenditure while reducing its impact on the environment.  Ecogranular has developed a new technology that, for the first time, allows granular biomass to be used continuously, which will greatly facilitate its implementation in water purification stations. The tech minimises the loss of biomass inside the…
