AI and ML developers often work with local datasets while preprocessing data. Engineering features, and building prototypes make this easy without the overhead of a full server. The most common comparison is between SQLite, a serverless database released in 2000 and widely used for lightweight ...

GLM-4.7-Flash is a new member of the GLM 4.7 family and targets developers who want strong coding and reasoning performance in a model that is practical to run locally. Zhipu AI (Z.ai) describes GLM-4.7-Flash as a 30B-A3B MoE model and presents it as the strongest model in the 30B class, designed ...

Brock Johnson (@brock11johnson) recently took to the screen to show exactly how he uses Manychat to sell on autopilot. And one thing about Brock? He’s not…

Conversational banking has reached an inflection point. What began as basic chatbots designed to deflect contact center volume is evolving into a transformative model for customer engagement — powered by rapid advances in AI, rising customer expectations, and banks’ urgent need to streamline ...

The story of enterprise resource planning (ERP) is really a story of businesses learning to organize themselves around the latest, greatest technology of the times. In the 1960s through the ’80s, mainframes, material requirements planning (MRP), and manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) brought ...

AI agents are moving beyond coding assistants and customer service chatbots into the operational core of the enterprise. The ROI is promising, but autonomy without alignment is a recipe for chaos. Business leaders need to lay the essential foundations now. The agent explosion is coming Agents are ...

Large language models are great. We all can agree to that. They’ve been a cornerstone of modern industry and are increasingly impacting more and more domains.  With constant upgrades and improvements to the architecture and capabilities of language models, one might think – That’s it! Alas… A ...

In this tutorial, we build an end-to-end streaming voice agent that mirrors how modern low-latency conversational systems operate in real time. We simulate the complete pipeline, from chunked audio input and streaming speech recognition to incremental language model reasoning and streamed ...

Microsoft Research has released OptiMind, an AI based system that converts natural language descriptions of complex decision problems into mathematical formulations that optimization solvers can execute. It targets a long standing bottleneck in operations research, where translating business intent ...
