SAP aims to displace more general large language models with the release of its own foundational “tabular” model, which the company claims will reduce training requirements for enterprises.  The model, called SAP RPT-1, is a pre-trained model with business and enterprise knowledge out of the box. SAP calls it a Relational Foundation Model, meaning it…

A quiet revolution is reshaping enterprise data engineering. Python developers are building production data pipelines in minutes using tools that would have required entire specialized teams just months ago. The catalyst is dlt, an open-source Python library that automates complex data engineering tasks. The tool has reached 3 million monthly downloads and powers data workflows…

I’m thrilled to announce a fantastic new addition to our leadership team: Karyne Levy is joining VentureBeat as our new Managing Editor. Today is her first day. Many of you may know Karyne from her most recent role as Deputy Managing Editor at TechCrunch, but her career is a highlight reel of veteran tech journalism….

The buzzed-about but still stealthy New York City startup Augmented Intelligence Inc (AUI), which seeks to go beyond the popular “transformer” architecture used by most of today’s LLMs such as ChatGPT and Gemini, has raised $20 million in a bridge SAFE round at a $750 million valuation cap, bringing its total funding to nearly $60…

An international team of researchers has released an artificial intelligence system capable of autonomously conducting scientific research across multiple disciplines — generating papers from initial concept to publication-ready manuscript in approximately 30 minutes for about $4 each. The system, called Denario, can formulate research ideas, review existing literature, develop methodologies, write and execute code, create…

The recent controversy surrounding Google’s Gemma model has once again highlighted the dangers of using developer test models and the fleeting nature of model availability.  Google pulled its Gemma 3 model from AI Studio following a statement from Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) that the Gemma model willfully hallucinated falsehoods about her. Blackburn said the model…

For more than three decades, modern CPUs have relied on speculative execution to keep pipelines full. When it emerged in the 1990s, speculation was hailed as a breakthrough — just as pipelining and superscalar execution had been in earlier decades. Each marked a generational leap in microarchitecture. By predicting the outcomes of branches and memory…

Recently, there has been a lot of hullabaloo about the idea that large reasoning models (LRM) are unable to think. This is mostly due to a research article published by Apple, “The Illusion of Thinking” Apple argues that LRMs must not be able to think; instead, they just perform pattern-matching. The evidence they provided is…

Every SOC leader knows the feeling: drowning in alerts, blind to the real threat, stuck playing defense in a war waged at the speed of AI. Now CrowdStrike and NVIDIA are flipping the script. Armed with autonomous agents powered by Charlotte AI and NVIDIA Nemotron models, security teams aren’t just reacting; they’re striking back at…

Presented by Celonis AI adoption is accelerating, but results often lag expectations. And enterprise leaders are under pressure to prove measurable ROI from the AI solutions — especially as the use of autonomous agents rises and global tariffs disrupt supply chains. The issue isn’t the AI itself, says Alex Rinke, co-founder and co-CEO of Celonis,…
