There’s something […]

AI capability grew faster in 2025 than at any point in the last decade, and the infrastructure built to monitor that growth has not kept pace. Stanford HAI’s 2026 AI Index documents both trends with equal precision: frontier models are clearing tests designed to defeat them in months, while the responsible AI benchmarks meant to […]

These are folks doing the invisible engineering that keeps AWS running. Most infrastructure improvements at AWS happen invisibly. Engineering teams […]

In the current cybersecurity landscape, the “speed of business” has been replaced by “machine speed.” As we move further into 2026, the gap between how quickly AI can discover vulnerabilities and how fast human-led teams can patch them has reached a breaking point. The latest CloudTweaks Expert Roundup brings together industry leaders to dissect a […]

There is a question that comes up constantly in enterprise AI discussions: which model should we standardize on? It is a reasonable question on the surface. Procurement teams want consistency. IT leaders want to reduce vendor sprawl. And everyone wants to feel that they made the optimal choice. So the conversation becomes a comparison: GPT-4o […]

Last week I had the honor of delivering a commencement speech at the University of Namur (uNamur) for their 2025 graduation ceremony. Standing in front of freshly minted computer science graduates, I talked about the future of software development in the age of AI. My message to them was simple: AI will not make you […]
