Microsoft’s Majorana 1 chip is billed as the company’s first quantum computing processor. The excitement surrounding this million-qubit dream, with its unique architecture and reliance on exotic materials like indium arsenide, seems like a watershed moment in computing...
One of the earliest digital transformation drivers was digitalization, in which organizations converted paper-based processes to digitized workflows. In ideal circumstances, paper documents became web or mobile forms, and workflows replaced handoffs. However, many...
Teradata is adding vector support to its platform in the form of a new Enterprise Vector Store, an in-database offering, to enable and augment use cases that require retrieval augmented generation (RAG), such as agentic AI. Other features of Enterprise Vector Store include...
Microsoft’s TypeScript 5.8, the latest version of the company’s strongly typed superset of JavaScript, has reached general availability (GA). However, one new feature introduced at the beta stage, a limited form of checking against conditional types in return statements, ...

“No man is an island,” wrote John Donne. But containers certainly are. They are created as islands in and of themselves, packaged with all they need to operate independently—code, dependencies, and runtime. This autonomy is great for security but not so great for...
Since 2018, we’ve had a new release of the Java platform every six months. With Swiss watch-like regularity, the latest version of Java, JDK 24, is upon us. In an almost poetic way, JDK 24 contains 24 JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs), the largest number of new features...
Clearly Google is doing something right. Although Google Cloud’s revenue still lags AWS and Microsoft Azure, it’s growing much faster (albeit on a smaller base). But that’s not the real story of its growth. The story is that it’s growing at all. Google Cloud should...

Rust 1.85, the latest version of the burgeoning language positioned for speed, safety, and ease of use, has arrived, with new capabilities including async closures. The release also constitutes a stabilization of the Rust 2024 edition of the language. The Rust 1.85 version...
Google is adding new features to its fully managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS) AlloyDB in order to provide enterprises with an alternative to PostgreSQL, which has become the most popular choice when transitioning from legacy database management systems. PostgreSQL is...
Employees in a large financial organization began developing AI tools to automate time-consuming tasks such as weekly report generation. They didn’t think about what could go wrong. Within a few months, unauthorized applications skyrocketed from just a couple to 65. The...
There’s lots to do in this edition of the Python Report: Do more than one thing with Python’s async. Do the math faster in Python with NumPy. Do Python in Visual Studio Code, and do it the right way with our get-started guide. And do use Python’s new structural pattern ...

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a technique used to “ground” large language models (LLMs) with specific data sources, often sources that weren’t included in the models’ original training. RAG’s three steps are retrieval from a specified source, augmentation ...
Microsoft has introduced a new AI model that, it says, can process speech, vision, and text locally on-device using less compute capacity than previous models. Innovation in generative artificial intelligence isn’t all about large language models (LLMs) running in big data ...
Chinese AI firm DeepSeek has unveiled a significant price reduction for developers using its AI models, a move that could intensify competition among both domestic and global rivals. On its website, the Hangzhou-based startup said that from 16:30 UTC to 00:30 UTC...
At the heart of Microsoft’s AI application development strategy is Semantic Kernel, an open source set of tools for managing and orchestrating AI prompts. Since its launch as a way to simplify building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications, it has grown into a...
