Predictions 2025: Data renaissance, systems of agency, LAMs, SAMs and security threats

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 19:37:28 +0000

In just two short years, the entire data and technology industry has undergone a seismic shift. Tech stacks — from top to bottom — are being tuned to harness extreme parallel computing, often called accelerated computing. From silicon to infrastructure and throughout the software layer, nowhere is this transformation more pronounced than in the data […]

Data 2025 outlook: AI drives a renaissance of data

Tony Baer — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 13:00:42 +0000

It’s hard to ignore the elephant in the room: Generative artificial intelligence pretty much dominated the conversation in 2024, and going forward that’s not likely to change anytime soon. Given that generative AI burst onto the scene barely a couple years back, it’s not surprising that innovations on refining generative models to make them more sustainable and useful are making the […]

The yellow brick road to agentic AI

Dave Vellante and George Gilbert — Sat, 21 Dec 2024 17:31:07 +0000

The road to agentic artificial intelligence will be paved with stepping stones that progressively build on each other. Our research suggests that agentic AI will not suddenly appear without a strong data foundation built on: 1) cloud-like scalability; 2) a unified metadata model; 3) data mesh organizing principles; 4) harmonized data and business process logic; and an […]

A bold plan to spin out and revive Intel’s foundry business

Dave Vellante and David Floyer — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 23:15:56 +0000

The time for Intel Corp. to shed its foundry business is now. Though former Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger made a persuasive case for U.S.-based advanced semiconductor manufacturing, his vision was flawed from the start. Intel’s foundry operation, like IBM Corp.’s Microelectronics business a decade ago, is an asset with negative value. Yet its strategic significance for U.S. competitiveness […]

Why Jamie Dimon is Sam Altman’s biggest competitor

Dave Vellante and George Gilbert — Sat, 02 Nov 2024 19:02:07 +0000

Investors have poured north of $30 billion into independent foundation model players, including OpenAI, Anthropic PBC, Cohere Inc. and Mistral AI as well as others. OpenAI itself has raised more than $20 billion. To keep pace, both Meta Platforms Inc. and xAI Corp. will have to spend comparable amounts. In our view, the stampeding herd of large […]

From LLMs to SLMs to SAMs, how agents are redefining AI

Dave Vellante, Scott Hebner and George Gilbert — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 15:46:08 +0000

We believe the artificial intelligence center of gravity for enterprise value creation is shifting from large language models to small language models, where the S not only stands for small but encompasses a system of small, specialized, secure and sovereign models. Moreover, we see LLMs and SLMs evolving to become agentic, hence SAM – small […]
