Snowflake Pushes Into Agentic AI with Project SnowWork
Snowflake is pushing further into the agentic AI trend with the launch of Project SnowWork, a new platform meant to help enterprises move beyond data analysis and into execution, with much of the work handled autonomously. With SnowWork, the aim is to go beyond dashboards and generated answers to automate the next steps, allowing business…
9 reasons Java is still great
In a world obsessed with disruption, Java threads the needle between stability and innovation. It’s the ultimate syncretic platform, synthesizing the best ideas from functional programming, concurrency, cloud computing, and AI under a reliable, battle-tested umbrella. Java unites meticulous planning with chaotic evolution, enterprise reality with open source ideals, along with a healthy dose of…
How to create AI agents with Neo4j Aura Agent
You may be hearing a lot of buzz about knowledge graphs, GraphRAG, and ontologies in the AI space right now, especially around improving agent accuracy, explainability, and governance. But actually creating and deploying your own agents that leverage these concepts can be challenging and ambiguous. At Neo4j, we’re trying to make building and deploying agents…
Why AI evals are the new necessity for building effective AI agents
The AI agent market is projected to grow from $5.1 billion in 2024 to over $47 billion by 2030, yet Gartner predicts that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027. The reason is not model capability. It is trust. Traditional AI evaluation tells you whether a model…
OpenAI’s $50B AWS deal puts its Microsoft alliance to the test
Despite OpenAI’s multiple re-affirmations that its relationship with Microsoft is strong and central, in view of recent developments, Redmond doesn’t seem to be convinced. According to reports, the tech giant is considering legal action against OpenAI and Amazon over the $50 billion cloud deal the two recently struck to make Amazon Web Services (AWS) the…
Java future calls for boosts with records, primitives, classes
Oracle’s latest Java language ambitions are expected to offer improvements in records, classes, primitives, and arrays. As part of these plans, pending features not now marked for a future release of the language are under consideration to officially be part of Java. In a March 17 presentation at the JavaOne conference in Redwood City, Calif.,…
Edge.js launched to run Node.js for AI
Wasmer has introduced Edge.js as a JavaScript runtime that leverages WebAssembly and is designed to safely run Node.js workloads for AI and edge computing. Node apps can run inside a WebAssembly sandbox. Accessible from edgejs.org and introduced March 16, Edge.js is intended to enable existing Node.js applications to run safely and with startup times impossible…
Snowflake’s new ‘autonomous’ AI layer aims to do the work, not just answer questions
Snowflake has taken the covers off a product, currently under development, which it describes as an “autonomous” AI layer that promises to turn its data cloud from a place that answers questions about data into one that actually does the work: stitching together analysis, reports, and even slide decks on behalf of business users. Named…
I ran Qwen3.5 locally instead of Claude Code. Here’s what happened.
If you’ve been curious about working with services like Claude Code, but balk at the idea of hitching your IDE to a black-box cloud service and shelling out for tokens, we’re steps closer to a solution. But we’re not quite there yet. With each new generation of large language models, we’re seeing smaller and more…
We mistook event handling for architecture
Events are essential inputs to modern front-end systems. But when we mistake reactions for architecture, complexity quietly multiplies. Over time, many front-end architectures have come to resemble chains of reactions rather than models of structure. The result is systems that are expressive, but increasingly difficult to reason about. A different architectural perspective is beginning to…
