AI Maturity - Bridging the Orchestration Chasm
The AI maturity framework in Section 2 may suggest a smooth, linear progression. The reality is different. Organizations do not advance evenly through these levels. There is a specific transition point where most enterprises stall, and understanding why is how anyone can reliably scale AI today. The hardest leap is

General Catalyst Takes The Lead Over Y Combinator In Backing $5M+ Fintech Deals
For the first time in several quarters, General Catalyst in Q2 overtook Y Combinator when it came to participating in the most fintech deals of $5 million or more, per Crunchbase data. The quarter also marked the busiest one for General Catalyst since 2021 in terms of investing in rounds of $5 million or above.
The Biggest AI Talent Challenge Is Resilience, Not Speed
Engineering leaders should build highly adaptable, vendor-agnostic infrastructure instead of relying on expensive, unpredictable proprietary hyperscalers, advises guest columnist Sumeet Vaidya, who says the foundational flexibility allows enterprises to safely pair AI agents with human teams while seamlessly switching between top-tier and cost-free open-source models as the industry evolves.
Evaluating AI Agents: A production blueprint with Strands and AgentCore
Together, Motorway and AWS built an end-to-end evaluation pipeline that reduced incorrect results from 1 in 8 queries to 1 in 50 and cut issue detection time from few hours to few minutes. The pipeline combines the Strands Agents SDK with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a fully managed service for deploying and operating AI agents at scale. In this post, you will learn how to build this pipeline for your own agents.
Building trade assistant: How Jefferies optimized front office trading operations with AI
In this post, we explore how Jefferies overcame these challenges with a solution built on Strands Agents, an agent harness SDK for building AI agents that can reason, plan, and act by orchestrating calls to foundation models (FMs) and external tools. The solution uses large language models (LLMs), Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. It also uses Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that helps AI agents securely connect to diverse data sources and tools through a unified interface. We cover the solution overview, the rationale for selecting the underlying technology st

NASA Puts Google's Gemma Large Language Model in Orbit
The viability of orbital data centers hosting the largest and most capable large language models (LLMs) remains hotly contested. But enormous deployments that require thousands of GPUs aren't the only way LLMs might prove useful in space. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently sent Google's Gemma 3 to space, achieving the first in-orbit demonstration of a vision-language model analyzing imagery from a satellite's own sensor. The system, known as NAVI-Orbital, used Gemma 3 to analyze images captured by a YAM-9 satellite built by Loft Orbital. Juan M. Delfa, technical group lead at NASA, said
How AI helps scientists design the next generation of medicines
Designing and developing a new medicine is an expensive, failure-prone scientific challenge. A new drug can take many years to develop, at the cost of a significant investment. And even then, most possible candidates never reach the patient. For biologic medicines, therapies made from engineered proteins rather than synthetic chemistry (which are often used to...
The Rise And Rise Of Billion-Dollar-Plus Rounds
So far this year, 60% of global startup funding across stages - around $320 billion - went to rounds of $1 billion or more, per Crunchbase data, with such rounds instrumental in pushing global funding for the first half of the year to record levels.
Is On-Prem Making A Comeback?
While cloud migration previously offered unmatched speed and cost efficiency, decision-makers now perceive localized systems as offering superior long-term security. In this guest commentary, strategic adviser Itay Sagie shares three trends he believes are pushing on-prem back into the limelight.
NVIDIA AI Supercomputer Comes Online at Naval Postgraduate School
NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang today visited the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, to commission an NVIDIA DGX GB300 system - bringing one of the world's most powerful AI platforms fully online for the students, researchers and faculty at the U.S. military's flagship graduate university.

The Crunchbase Tech Layoffs Tracker
More than 127,000 workers at U.S.-based technology companies lost their jobs in 2025, according to a running tally kept by Crunchbase News, and the cuts have carried into 2026. The deepest reductions came from established giants, with Intel eliminating 27,159 roles, Microsoft 15,387 and Amazon 14,709. Crunchbase ties much of the wave to cost cutting and a shift of hiring budgets toward AI development and automation. The tracker logs new company reductions week by week, including 4,375 employees affected in the seven days ending June 10, 2026.
AI Teammates: how monday.com runs production AI agents on Amazon Bedrock
AI Teammates are agentic AI on Amazon Bedrock, and few engineering organizations run them in production at the scale that monday.com does. Nine in ten Builders use AI coding tools every month, up from roughly half a year ago. Per-engineer PR throughput is up by more than half. Every figure in this post comes from monday's own internal production data. In this post, we share the architecture behind those numbers, the retrofits that made it work in a decade-old code base, and the confidence-scored merge play closing the gap to full autonomy.

A total of 34 companies joined The Crunchbase Unicorn Board in June, altogether adding more than $110 billion in value, with 10 of those companies AI labs, which were collectively valued at $65 billion. Other leading sectors with multiple companies were in robotics and AI infrastructure.
This Time Is Different: Why AI Is Unlike Any Wave I Have Seen In 40 Years Of Financial Services
AI will fundamentally rewrite the global financial value chain, making marginal operating costs near-zero and creating highly personalized, previously impossible products, argues guest columnist Nigel Morris of QED Investors. He warns that success will depend on whether incumbent banks and fintechs are willing to self-cannibalize and rebuild their operations around this transformative technology.
Why AI apps fail in production (And how Google solved it)
We are living in the golden age of the weekend AI side project. Thanks to agentic engineering and LLMs, the time to go from a blank IDE to a functional local application has dropped from quarters to hours. You can build your wildest ideas over a cup of coffee. But inside an enterprise ecosystem with rigid infrastructure and millions of users, vibe coding hits an invisible wall. Your local prototype falls apart against corporate networks, cascading errors, or getting blocked by leadership terrified of operational volatility. The data is sobering: only 5% of AI prototypes make it to production;
Built in Fort Worth: Wistron Opens Advanced Manufacturing Plant to Produce NVIDIA AI Systems
The AI era runs on AI infrastructure. Many of these advanced systems are built and tested in Texas. Wistron opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility today in Fort Worth - a 324,000-square-foot greenfield plant producing superchips at the heart of some of the world's most capable AI systems. In front of an audience of Wistron [...]
Why AI Needs a "Genie Coefficient"
Major benchmarks measure what AI can do. None measure whether it does what you mean: the distance between what you ask an AI to do and the unspoken assumptions about how you want the AI to do it. We propose a new metric: the Genie coefficient. There's often a gap between one person's request and another's understanding. Most of the time, we bridge it using general knowledge. For example, if you ask a friend to get you coffee, they'll pour a cup from the pot or buy one from a coffee shop. They won't bring you a bag of raw beans or snatch a cup from a stranger and hand it to you. You never speci
Exploring self-distilled reasoning for supervised fine-tuning with Amazon Nova
In this post, we explore an idea for generating thinking tokens for datasets that lack reasoning traces in SFT customization. We first examine the reasoning suppression problem, then introduce Self-Distilled Reasoning (SDR), validate it across three benchmarks, and provide practical recommendations.
