As software systems grow more complex and AI tools generate code faster than ever, a fundamental problem is getting worse: Engineers are drowning in debugging work, spending up to half their time hunting down the causes of software failures instead of building new products. The challenge has become so acute that it's creating a new…

Identifying the owners, or shareholders, of a corporation is essential for comprehending its governance and structure. You can start by examining the stock ledger, which records all issued shares and their holders. For publicly traded companies, annual reports and proxy statements filed with the SEC reveal significant shareholders, typically those owning over 5% of shares.…

Researchers at Meta FAIR and the National University of Singapore have developed a new reinforcement learning framework for self-improving AI systems. Called Self-Play In Corpus Environments (SPICE), the framework pits two AI agents against each other, creating its own challenges and gradually improving without human supervision. While currently a proof-of-concept, this self-play mechanism could provide…

Baidu Inc., China's largest search engine company, released a new artificial intelligence model on Monday that its developers claim outperforms competitors from Google and OpenAI on several vision-related benchmarks despite using a fraction of the computing resources typically required for such systems. The model, dubbed ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B-Thinking, is the latest salvo in an escalating competition among…

Senior software developers are preparing for a major shift in how they work as artificial intelligence becomes central to their workflows, according to BairesDev’s latest Dev Barometer report published today. VentureBeat was given an exclusive early look and the findings below come directly from that report. The quarterly global survey, which polled 501 developers and…

Presented by Celonis After a year of boardroom declarations about “AI transformation,” this was the week where enterprise leaders came together to talk about what actually works. Speaking from the stage at Celosphere in Munich, Celonis co-founder and co-CEO Alexander Rinke set the tone early in his keynote: “Only 11 % of companies are seeing…

Baseten, the AI infrastructure company recently valued at $2.15 billion, is making its most significant product pivot yet: a full-scale push into model training that could reshape how enterprises wean themselves off dependence on OpenAI and other closed-source AI providers. The San Francisco-based company announced Thursday the general availability of Baseten Training, an infrastructure platform…

Chronosphere, a New York-based observability startup valued at $1.6 billion, announced Monday it will launch AI-Guided Troubleshooting capabilities designed to help engineers diagnose and fix production software failures — a problem that has intensified as artificial intelligence tools accelerate code creation while making systems harder to debug. The new features combine AI-driven analysis with what…

Meta has just released a new multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR) system supporting 1,600+ languages — dwarfing OpenAI’s open source Whisper model, which supports just 99. Is architecture also allows developers to extend that support to thousands more. Through a feature called zero-shot in-context learning, users can provide a few paired examples of audio and…

As cloud project tracking software monday.com’s engineering organization scaled past 500 developers, the team began to feel the strain of its own success. Product lines were multiplying, microservices proliferating, and code was flowing faster than human reviewers could keep up. The company needed a way to review thousands of pull requests each month without drowning…
