What new questions can we ask? What answers do Large Language Models enable? 'How large language models enable network analysis' - a conversation with Sven Sewitz and Elizabeth Press from D3M Labs.🚀 Most organizations are still in the "Awareness" phase, where according to Gartner, interest in AI is sparked. Some advanced organizations have moved to the "Active" phase, where there are proof of concept projects, but those are few and far between. While infrastructure and tool chain remain barriers to feasibility 🚧, the questions persist: 🤔 What new inquiries can we make? How will this impact the culture and organization of data teams and their organizations? 🌐 Introduction: How did Sven become a computational biologist and what does a computational biologist do? 1:50 What is network analysis and why do you think it will be a new paradigm going forward? 3:17 Why are large languages an enabler to network analysis? 5:17 What are hurdles to implementing large language models for network analysis in an actual company? 7:32 There is a large amount of infrastructure investments that are crucial. What are some steps that companies can take? 9:04 Data education and cultural aspect that has to change. What new questions can you now ask? 9:52 How can organizations start along the journey?

What an incredible milestone for everyone at Google Quantum AI!  🤩 👏 Willow, our newest quantum chip, performed a computation in one minute that would take 10 septillion years on one of the most powerful supercomputers today. To put that into perspective, that’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years!  Hartmut Neven, Founder and Lead at Google Quantum AI, explains all the technical details much better than I can. So, if you’re curious about Willow—what it is, how it works, and what this means—definitely check out latest blog on this remarkable achievement 👉  https://lnkd.in/eWWgkjPX

If the space data centers connected between each other in orbit, it will eventually formed data-center-ring. The name sounds pun-ed, as it will be ‘center’ and ‘ring’, whilst earth will be the center of that ring consuming/producing the data. #oneRingToRuleItAll #weAreAI

The future of telcos: Mapping the routes to renewed success https://lnkd.in/gTTjy6tX #telecommunications #leadership #entrepreneurship #management #success #finance #technology #innovation

This McKinsey article https://lnkd.in/g54TwDzw really resonated with me, as it does a great job describing some of the top use cases that leading telcos are exploring—and some are already starting to deploy. I particularly think leveraging GenAI capabilities for enhancing network operations with better inventory mapping, enabling self-healing via customer sentiment analysis on network problems, and drastically reducing technicians' time to assess, recommend remedies, and automatically initiate work orders are powerful use cases that can create an immediate impact on a telco's opex. The article is also spot on with some other observations: 1. Network operations is a huge area where GenAI can make an impact, but it has to be done in combination with traditional AI solutions. 2. LLMOps is absolutely necessary for model management to ensure the quality and accuracy of model outputs, especially with the pace at which models adapt and change. 3. The idea of a dedicated GenAI innovation lab is important. With new GenAI research and advancements happening so rapidly, organizations could benefit from a dedicated system to build and test solutions, keeping them ahead of the competition. 4. Because GenAI democratizes access to powerful capabilities, it lowers barriers for smaller operators and organizations to become competitive. It's a great opportunity for smaller organizations to place the right bets and get ahead. If you or your organization are exploring these different use cases I would love to chat!

As summer begins to bring longer and warmer days, I am also reminded of the rising temperatures around the world and their sometimes-devastating impacts for communities facing extreme weather.   The World Meteorological Organization confirmed 2023 was the warmest year on record "by a huge margin," which left vulnerable communities around the world grappling with the aftermath of droughts, heatwaves, floods, and storms.     Microsoft-powered Aurora is uses AI to forecast extreme weather and protect people and the planet. Aurora is the first large-scale foundation model of the atmosphere, outperforms the gold standard of numerical weather prediction and demonstrates how AI can transform our ability to predict and mitigate extreme weather.     Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g-8RZq6M

HFS Research's musings on Amazon Web Services (AWS) re:invent 2024. #NVIDIA needs company—AWS looks to retain its #compute power and enrich its value prop with #silicon #Agentic #AI is on the move as AWS looks toward Services-as-Software #Partnerships will be more important than ever to succeed - particularly those that align with #domain and #industry expertise Amid the numerous #tech announcements, we noted a little something extra—a keen focus and perhaps enhanced respect from AWS for its #partners, especially tech and services. We call this the ‘Garman effect’—after the former intern and now CEO who’s touched most functions at AWS— he is driving some overdue appreciation for the power of #ecosystems.

🚀 Why Fiber Optics and HFC are the Game Changers for Rural Cloud Gaming Imagine diving into your favorite game, mid-boss fight, and suddenly—lag. In the urban sprawl, this is rare. But for gamers in rural America, it’s a frustrating reality. As cloud gaming surges in popularity, the digital divide between urban and rural areas grows wider. The solution? Optimized Fiber Optics and Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) networks. Leveling Up Rural Connectivity Cloud gaming demands low latency, high bandwidth, and rock-solid connectivity. Fiber optic cables deliver lightning-fast data speeds, while HFC networks—blending fiber optics with coaxial cables—offer a more affordable and scalable solution by leveraging existing infrastructure. For rural communities, expanding these networks isn’t just about gaming; it’s about unlocking economic growth, better education, and increased participation in the digital economy. A Billion-Dollar Market is Calling The HFC market is already booming. From $13.57 billion in 2023 to a projected $22.34 billion by 2028 (at a CAGR of 10.6%), the growth signals one thing—demand is rising fast. With remote work, e-commerce, and streaming services driving expansion, rural broadband is more critical than ever. Breaking Down the Barrier High-speed internet isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Fiber optics and HFC deployment in rural areas represent a pivotal opportunity to bring next-gen entertainment and essential services to underserved communities. This is about bridging the digital divide and ensuring cloud gaming (and beyond) reaches every corner of the U.S. Ready to Play? It’s time for network providers, investors, and policymakers to push forward with rural fiber and HFC deployment. The demand is there, the market is growing, and the technology is ready. Let’s make cloud gaming a nationwide phenomenon. 👉 Join the conversation—how do you see fiber and HFC shaping the future of cloud gaming? Let’s connect! https://lnkd.in/g_C5n8ZK
