I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. At a Sunday party, I heard a guest gush that ChatGPT understands his business better than his staff. The enthusiasm is common; the reality is more nuanced. Continue Reading →
Yesterday at Anthropic’s first “Code with Claude” conference in San Francisco, the company introduced Claude Opus 4 and its companion, Claude Sonnet 4. The headline is clear: Opus 4 can pursue a complex coding task for about seven consecutive hours without losing context. That leap takes us from last year’s five-minute attention span to what feels like a full work shift at silicon speed. Continue Reading →
The News/Media Alliance’s blistering statement that Google “just takes content by force” and that its new AI Mode is “the definition of theft” lit up every tech feed yesterday. The publishers are right to be angry; Google’s latest search UI hides the familiar blue-link list behind a tab and surfaces a Gemini-generated answer built from their stories without compensation.

Microsoft just introduced NLWeb, an open-source project designed to bring natural language interfaces directly to websites. The vision is simple and powerful: turn any site into an AI-powered app that can answer user questions in plain English. Continue Reading →
In the race to harness AI's transformative potential, success stories are emerging across the Fortune 500. Yet even the most well-managed organizations face a common challenge: how to align numerous AI initiatives toward a cohesive strategic vision. Continue Reading →
Windsurf, the AI coding startup that is reportedly in the process of being acquired by OpenAI for $3 billion, just launched SWE-1: its first in-house small language model designed specifically for software engineering. Released under its new “Vibe” lineup, the model is open-weight, fast, and compact. It is built to run efficiently on consumer hardware without relying on expensive cloud infrastructure.

On Wednesday, Google announced a new Gemini AI-powered ad product called Peak Points at its YouTube Brandcast event in New York. The AI identifies moments during a video when viewers are most engaged, then drops in an ad. In theory, ads will perform better because the messages appear during emotionally resonant or attention-rich segments. Of course, it could completely backfire. People may be so engaged in the programming that they ignore the ads. Test and learn. Continue Reading →
In an unsurprising move, Google is putting generative AI at the center of its most valuable real estate. The company is redesigning its homepage to feature “AI Overviews,” a mode that uses Gemini to synthesize information directly on the results page. For users, this means fewer blue links, more summarized answers, and the beginning of the transition from search engine to answer engine. Continue Reading →
In case you didn't know, today – whether or not you register your work with the copyright office – everything you create is immediately protected by U.S. copyright law. This has been true for your entire life, but the value of that constitutional protection may soon change. Continue Reading →
