For years, Oracle has found itself solidly in the second tier of cloud providers, well behind the top three of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, which combined account for more than 60 percent of global cloud infrastructure services market. …
“Platformization” eventually comes to every high-profile IT space as the number of tools and amount of complexity increases. …
There is constant chatter surrounding the promise of generative AI, agentic AI, and – eventually – artificial general intelligence, but the need for the massive, expensive, high-density compute and the datacenters to wrap around them and the juice to feed them are incredible, particularly with models OpenAI GPT-4, Alibaba’s Qwen-3, Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2, xAI’s Grok4, and Amazon’s Olympus all cresting the trillion-parameter mark and aiming higher. …
As adoption of generative AI, agentic AI, and all other AIs expands around the globe, a focus in the industry can enable nations to more closely use its own infrastructure, workforces, and data to control, create, and deploy AI models. …
Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. …
For the Linux Foundation, this summer in part has been spent pulling in new projects aimed at building an open architecture around the quickly emerging world of agentic AI, the latest rage in the ever-expanding generative AI universe. …
With cloud computing, HPC, and now AI driving enterprise computing and the technical challenges and cost connected to semiconductor design and manufacturing increasing, demand for chiplet architectures continues to increase. …
A decade and a half of enterprise cloud adoption has spread vast amounts of data and processing around the globe, and the onslaught of generative AI – and now agentic AI – is only accelerating it. …
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. …
AI agents bring with them the promise of being able to autonomously solve complex tasks put before them, from finding and analyzing the necessary data, choosing tools, and making decisions without human intervention to learning from their mistakes and adapting to changes. …
