He added that Azure's models-as-a-service offering will include Stable Diffusion, Llama2 from Meta, Mistral and Jais, the world's largest Arabic language model. Command from Cohere will also be available.
Microsoft fleshed out its generative AI infrastructure plans with the launch of its custom processors for model training and inference along with Copilot Studio for new use cases.
🎬 This week on ConstellationTV episode 68, co-hosts Doug Henschen & Dion Hinchcliffe give a rundown of the latest enterprise tech news, Larry Dignan interviews SuperNova winner Marie Merle Caekebeke from Baker Hughes about using AI and LLMs for ESG Materiality Assessments, then watch a CCE 2023 panel recap about lessons learned from our BT150 alumni.
Celonis is betting that process mining data will be the enabler for automation and generative AI across enterprises with the launch of its Process Intelligence (PI) graph.
The argument is worth considering as the intersection of process automation, intelligence, machine learning and artificial intelligence is getting crowded. Multiple vendors are gunning to be that platform that connects the systems and processes behind business transformation.
New Relic launched New Relic AI monitoring, which aims to bring observability to AI operations and applications. New Relic also expanded its partnership with AWS to integrate Amazon Bedrock with its AI monitoring platform.
Dell Technologies and Hugging Face are teaming up to target on-premises generative AI deployments to make the jump from enterprise proof-of-concepts to production easier.
Constellation Insights Editor in Chief Larry Dignan sits down with Fiona Tan, CTO of Wayfair to discuss new revenue initiatives using AI and ML use cases...
Wayfair saw breakneck growth three years ago and an ensuing hangover that required a focus on operating margins and execution, but a technology transformation has the company thinking big again.
Nvidia launched its Nvidia H200 GPU, which will offer faster memory and more bandwidth for generative AI workloads. The H200 will ship in the second quarter of 2024.
The launch comes as Wall Street waits for Nvidia's earnings and a read on whether the company could meet demand. In addition, Nvidia is about to see competition from AMD and hyperscale cloud players have their own proprietary chips for model training.
Celonis said it will acquire Symbioworld GmbH, a business process management software vendor, in a move that brings together process mining with AI-drive process modeling.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Celonis and Symbioworld have also launched a version of Symbio's Process Cockpit in beta with select customers that will meld process insights and data in one experience. Disclosure: I used to work for Celonis.
Wayfair saw breakneck growth three years ago and an ensuing hangover that required a focus on operating margins and execution, but a technology transformation has the company thinking big again. The to-do list: build out a flexible technology infrastructure, drive revenue while saving the business money, and leverage years of experience in data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to create generative AI use cases.

Executive Summary
Constellation Research’s recent report “Best Practices: An Executive Guide to Faster Incident Resolution” identified five surprising findings:
1. Incidents, both major and minor, are more frequent than expected.
2. The current way of responding to incidents is broken.
Microsoft is using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for its Microsoft Bing generative AI searches.
Oracle announced the multi-year agreement with Microsoft in a press release. What we don't know is whether Microsoft is using Oracle Cloud to overflow Bing workloads or completely due to efficiency and/or procurement of Nvidia GPUs.
OpenAI launched new developer tools, models and GPTs designed for specific use cases.
On its first developer day, OpenAI moved to expand its ecosystem, enable developers, and leverage the popularity of its models so they can be customized.
Palo Alto Networks said it has acquired Talon Cyber Security, an enterprise browser security startup. The move comes days after the company acquired Dig Security.
Talon Cybersecurity aims to address attacks via unmanaged devices via its Talon Enterprise Browser. The Talon Enterprise Browser will be combined with Palo Alto Networks' Prisma SASE platform and look to protect unmanaged endpoints that connect to SaaS enterprise applications.
Dig Security is a startup focused on data security posture management, or DPSM.
