Data engineering’s getting flipped.AI agentsandLLMsaren’t just tagging along anymore - they’re the main users now. That means engineers need to buildcontext-aware, machine-readable data systemsthat don’t just store info but actually make sense of it. Think:vector databases,knowledge graphs,semantic .. read more  

Slack broke down how it's threading AI into its product without torching user trust.Slack AIleans hard ontenant-specific data isolationandzero data retention- no leftover crumbs from LLM interactions. Instead of piping user data through someone else’s APIs, Slack runs LLMs onits own infrawhere it ca.. read more  

2025 was the year LLMs stopped just answering questions and started building things.Reasoning modelslike OpenAI’s o-series and Claude Code took over tool-driven workflows. Asynchronous coding agentsbroke out. These models didn’t just write code - they ran it, debugged it, then did it again. That loo.. read more  

June Paik spurned a takeover offer from Meta Platforms last year. Now his South Korean company, FuriosaAI, has an AI chip entering mass production... read more  

Anthropic saysClaude Code writes about 90% of its own code now. Why? Because devs are getting smart with AI. They're slicing problems into tight, testable chunks and running structured workflows that keep LLMs on a short leash. It's not just prompts anymore. Think context packaging, multi-agent setu.. read more

Meta has acquired Manus AI for $3 billion, integrating its autonomous AI agents into Meta's products. Manus will continue operations and expand services under Meta, excluding China due to the removal of Chinese ownership.

DeepSeek-OCRflips the OCR script. Instead of feeding full image tokens to the decoder, it leans on an encoder to compress them up front, trimming down input size and GPU strain in one move. That context diet? It opens the door for way bigger windows in LLMs. Why it matters:Shoving compression earlie.. read more  

Chinese AI milestones in 2025: Big models from DeepSeek and others, AGI discussions at Alibaba, US-China chip war swings, Beijing's AI Action plan, and more. DeepSeek led the way with an open-source model, setting off a wave of Chinese companies going open-source. China's push for AGI and involvemen.. read more
