The volume of data being created today is truly staggering. IDC projects that global data will reach 400 zettabytes (400 billion terabytes) by 2028, with 90% of that data classified as unstructured data. The proliferation of so much data, and so much unstructured data, raises two primary questions: How do we manage it all, and…
At first, robotic process automation coupled with low-code platforms and orchestration tools propelled many organizations to increase productivity and scale business operations. Virtual agents and chatbots then took automation one step further by enabling a conversational experience. Then, large language models (LLMs), vector databases, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and other generative AI innovations enabled new…
A peculiar trend has taken hold within the AI gold rush: Major players in the space—from OpenAI to Google and Microsoft—have started to heavily market their AI models as “open.” These companies are using terms like “open AI” to align with notions of transparency, collaboration, and shared progress associated with open source software. However, a…
The Rust Team has released Rust 1.83, an update to the memory-safe and thread-safe programming language that brings expanded capabilities for code running in const contexts. The Rust Team also announced that it is moving forward with the Rust 2024 edition, which introduces backwards-incompatible features such as gen blocks. Developers with a previous edition of…
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Service, for automating the management of hybrid cloud infrastructure, now is available as a managed offering on Amazon Web Services through the AWS Marketplace. General availability of Red Hat’s automation service was announced December 2. Ansible Automation Platform Service on AWS makes it easier for customers to manage cloud infrastructure…
Amazon Web Services has updated AWS PartyRock, its mostly free low code tool for building generative AI applications with a new app search function and the ability to build document processing into applications. PartyRock, otherwise known as Amazon Bedrock Playground, was introduced at last year’s AWS re:Invent conference, and the updates at this year’s event…

Considering the scaling history and trajectory of generative AI models (specifically large language models, or LLMs) specialized for coding, the software development life cycle (SDLC) is ripe for disruption. Not because we’re all going to be replaced by machines, but because there are so many areas in the SDLC that are perfect fits for AI…
Generative AI is no longer a novelty in the software development world: it’s being increasingly used as an assistant (and sometimes a free agent) to write code running in real-world production. But every developer knows that writing new code from scratch is only a small part of their daily work. Much of a developer’s time…
