When I first started experimenting with voice AI agents for real-world tasks like restaurant reservations and customer service calls, I quickly ran into a fundamental problem. My initial monolithic agent was trying to do everything at once: understand complex customer...
As an industry, we’ve gotten good at buying our way out of bad decisions. Need more throughput? Add instances. Tail latencies get spiky? Add a cache in front of the cache. Kelly Sommers nails the root cause: Pattern-driven architectures can be organizationally tidy yet...
Cloud computing and cybersecurity are among the featured players on the contemporary software development stage, but artificial intelligence (AI) is the star. AI continues to gain momentum as a force for business growth and opportunity, and tech and business leaders are...
When a vendor offered 2000 tokens per second (TPS) of Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct (aka Qwen3 Coder) for $50 (Cerebras Code Pro) or $200 (Cerebras Code Max), I, like many, was spellbound. However, the offer was sold out almost instantaneously. When the next window opened...

Kotlin 2.2.20 has been released, with the latest version of the concise, multiplatform, “pragmatic” programming language bringing its WebAssembly-compilation component, Kotlin/Wasm, into beta. JetBrains announced Kotlin 2.2.20 release on September 10. The release...
Enterprise AI tends to default to large language models (LLMs), overlooking small language models (SLMs). But bigger isn’t always better. Often, a smaller, more specialized model can do the work faster and more efficiently. What complicates things is that neither an LLM...
The way to get the best from Python, aka “the lingua franca of AI,” is by knowing both its traps and its treasures. One such treasure is using uv run as a magic launcher; another is a chatbot library that spares you the pain of writing SQL for data queries. Get these...
Most of us involved with AI are aware (or are quickly becoming aware) that memory bandwidth isn’t keeping pace with advancements in processing power. This imbalance creates a frustrating situation where GPUs are often underutilized, wasting compute power just as AI...

When working with ASP.NET Core applications, there are several ways in which you can enhance your application’s performance. Caching is one of the most widely used and proven strategies that can significantly boost your application’s scalability and performance. In this...
Basic chatbots get much of the publicity associated with modern AI platforms, but they have limited use cases, providing a simple natural language interface to search tools. It’s certainly useful, provided you implement fine-tuning and grounding in your own data, but it is ...
Large language models (LLMs) like GPT and PaLM are transforming how we work and interact, powering everything from programming assistants to universal chatbots. But here’s the catch: running these incredibly powerful models, especially as hosted services, is very...

Modern JavaScript puts you in the center of an enormously powerful language and ecosystem. As a result, the fundamentals of the language are lastingly important, and there is always more to learn. The core language is magnificently refined and intricate. Mastering universal...
It’s tough out there for software development managers. The job is not easy. Managing people is hard enough, but managing people with technical skills who do work that is very difficult to measure is truly challenging. I’ve done it. And while I can’t claim to be...
Simple projects in the Rust language are typically made up of a single crate. But the cargo project management utility for Rust lets you split a project into workspaces, which are smaller packages within the main package. Splitting an existing project into...
Java Development Kit (JDK) 26, a planned update to standard Java due in March 2026, now has its first three features slated for it, with the latest being increased application throughput when using the G1 garbage collector (GC). Proposed September 8, this JEP (JDK...
