Perplexity has introduced an API service named Sonar that would allow developers and enterprises to embed the company’s generative AI search technology into their applications. The company has rolled out two initial tiers – a more affordable and faster option called...
Getting a complete picture of the multi-headed beast that is the JavaScript ecosystem isn’t easy, but the annual State of JavaScript survey is a good place to start. What makes this survey stand out is that it attracts the input of thousands of working developers and other ...
Python has long had a presence as a language for server-side frameworks, with support for most every project size or use case. But it’s historically been confined to the back end—there’s no real culture of writing Python for creating front-end, client-side code. At...
Last week I talked about where those big, unwieldy code bases come from. They don’t appear out of nowhere, and no one ever plans to create one. Defining a problem is great, but what is one to do? How will you deal with the Big Pile of Mud that you inherited? It’s...
Software bill-of-materials (SBOM) documents would be used in Python packages as a means to improve their “measurability” and to address the problem of “phantom dependencies” in Python packages, under a Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) now being floated at...

The rapid development and improvement in generative AI technology pose a challenge for training and fine-tuning as a sustainable path for adoption. If organizations constantly need to fine-tune new models for specific tasks, they might be in a costly cycle of catching up...
AI isn‘t just changing cloud computing, it’s completely reshaping how we think about security in the cloud—on both sides. Attackers use AI to cause breaches, and enterprises use AI to defend against such attacks. Let me break this down into what‘s happening and what...

I was promoted to CTO in my late twenties, and while it is common to see young CTOs leading startups these days, it was unusual in the ’90s. I was far less experienced back then, and still developing my business acumen. While I was a strong software developer, it wasn’t...
Nearly 10% of all software engineers are “ghosts” who “do virtually nothing” but collect $300K salaries. This, according to research from Stanford University. The paper takes particular aim at engineers who work remotely, declaring that 14% of them apparently spend...
More than half of enterprises (56%) run mission-critical workloads in hybrid environments, according to a 2024 EDB survey of enterprise executives. From data warehouses and data lakes to HTAP, OLTP, and AI development, hybrid models have become a strategic advantage,...

Node.js, the popular JavaScript runtime, is moving to stabilize type stripping, a feature that allows developers to execute TypeScript files without source maps or additional configuration, speeding up the development process. The Node.js runtime was fitted with type...
The group responsible for red teaming of over 100 generative AI products at Microsoft has concluded that the work of building safe and secure AI systems will never be complete. In a paper published this week, the authors, including Microsoft Azure CTO Mark Russinovich,...

Let’s imagine a fictional company, Global Retail Corporation, a multinational retail chain struggling with its initial approach to AI integration. They built custom generative AI applications on their cloud provider using OpenAI’s APIs for broader analysis, providing...
In this week’s Python Report: Everyone’s favorite snake-named language is getting closer to being everyone’s favorite language, period. We also have a guide to unpacking the power of Python’s abstract base classes, and a tutorial for developers who want to use Cython ...
Code migration is a critical process in maintaining software applications. It helps improve performance and resilience, keeps systems up to date, and removes stale or irrelevant code. But it can be complex and time-consuming on a number of levels, not the least of which is...
Google has formally introduced Vertex AI RAG Engine, a developer tool aimed at streamlining the complex process of retrieving relevant information from a knowledge base and feeding it to an LLM (large language model). Introduced in a January 15 blog post as a component of...

Cloud-based data warehouse company Snowflake has open-sourced a new proprietary approach — SwiftKV — designed to reduce the cost of inference workloads for enterprises running generative AI-based applications. SwiftKV was launched in December. The development of SwiftKV ...
Service-oriented architectures are at the heart of modern application development. By building applications out of a mix of services, we can take advantage of the current generation of platforms to build serverless, scalable, distributed applications. Microsoft has long been ...
Technology innovations have made the digital transformation of public services essential to enhancing safety, efficiency, and accountability. Kazakhstan has taken a monumental step forward in this regard by implementing a continuous video surveillance system across 78...
