IBM Outlines Steps To Verify Claims Of Quantum Advantage

D-Wave executives stirred up some controversy earlier this year when they claimed a smaller version of its Advantage 2 annealing quantum system, armed with 1,200 qubits, had reached “quantum supremacy,” – or “quantum advantage” – that significant but ill-defined time when a quantum system is able to solve a problem in much less time, at a lower cost, or more efficiently than the most powerful classical supercomputer. 

D-Wave argued in the journal Science that, using quantum simulations, it computed properties in various magnetic material of different structures, size, and timescales. The Advantage 2 system solved a problem in minutes that company executives said would take the Frontier supercomputer a million years.

Nvidia releases massive AI-ready European language dataset and tools

Only a tiny fraction of the more than 7,000 languages on Earth are supported by artificial intelligence models, so today Nvidia Corp. announced a massive new AI-ready dataset and models to support the development of high-quality AI translation for European languages. 

The new dataset, named Granary, is a massive open-source corpus of multilingual audio, including more than a million hours of audio, plus 650,000 hours of speech recognition and 350,000 hours of speech translation.

Inside the API-First Shift: How Enables Incremental Legacy Breakup 

Platform engineering is transforming how enterprises modernize legacy systems, enabling organizations to dismantle monolithic applications gradually rather than through costly and disruptive “big-bang” rewrites. 

By embedding secure APIs, automated delivery pipelines, observability and service discovery into developer workflows, platform teams can manage risk, maintain uptime and accelerate the transition to modern architectures.

Kubernetes, AI, APIs, and YAML - A Future 2.0?

The future of Kubernetes is a hot topic in the cloud-native community, but a “Kubernetes 2.0” is not a reality yet. The Kubernetes project continues to The conversations about what might be in a theoretical Kubernetes 2.0 release reveal a desire to solve longstanding challenges. The community and vendors are grappling with the reality that the widely used, wildly successful Kubernetes is still very complex. Not news to anyone.

Why good data doesn’t guarantee good decisions

It’s easy to assume that more data—or cleaner dashboards—will automatically lead to better decisions. But after working in product analytics at MAANG and top fintech companies, I’ve learned the hard way: the link between data and decision-making isn’t automatic. It’s something you have to design for. Even in data-rich environments, I’ve seen brilliant teams make… Read More »Why good data doesn’t guarantee good decisions

From Chaos to Clarity: How AIOps Transforms Business Intelligence

Managing IT infrastructure has never been easy, but for modern enterprises, it’s become nearly impossible. Companies are drowning in data from IT systems, applications, and digital platforms with no end to the deluge in sight. With the post-pandemic shift toward more remote work and the explosive adoption of AI, global data volume is increasing exponentially: from a mere 1.2 zettabytes (ZB) in 2010, to 120 ZB in 2024, to a shocking projected 400 ZB by 2028. This isn’t just a technical problem anymore. At this scale, it’s an existential business challenge that demands immediate action.

How DCs can reach regulatory compliance in 2025

The conversations around data centres’ environmental impact are getting more intense. If you come across any AI-generated content online today, you’re sure to see a comment lamenting how much water that image or text costs. 

While the actual figures are more difficult to determine, the power requirements of data centres have indeed increased substantially in recent years. In North America, the amount of power consumed by data centres increased from 2,688 megawatts at the end of 2022 to 5,341 megawatts at the end of 2023, partly driven by the adoption of generative AI. 

With this in mind, understanding the regulatory landscape has become very important for operators seeking to maintain compliance and scale operations.
