Intel's launch of its Core Ultra mobile processors and 5th Gen Intel Xeon chips rhymed with product rollouts of yesteryear, but this one had higher stakes.

You can sum up 2023 in two words: Generative AI. There wasn't an enterprise that hasn't been affected by generative AI even though many efforts remain in the pilot stage. The year will go down as one of innovation, large language models, efficiency, productivity and some odd plot twists (yes, we're talking about you OpenAI).
Google built on its launch of its Gemini large language model (LLM) with Gemini Pro, Google AI Studio and other tools developers and enterprises can use for generative AI use cases.

Oracle posted a mixed second quarter as cloud revenue was $4.8 billion, up 25% from a year ago but up slightly sequentially. Oracle reported better-than-expected second quarter earnings with a revenue miss.

Broadcom will begin shifting VMware customers to subscriptions from enterprise licensing agreements as it integrates the company over the next year. But there are already signs that VMware customers are beginning to look to rivals such as Nutanix.
Doug Benalan, CIO CURE Insurance, NJ PURE, and Silver Rock Risk Solutions, is in the business of delivering affordable insurance via premiums based primarily on their driving record.
His company underwrites car insurance based on how well a customer drives, not their education, job or credit history. NJ Pure is a business that directly writes medical malpractice insurance in New Jersey. In addition, the company is expanding into new states.
C3.ai's fiscal second quarter results showed promise, but the biggest challenge facing the company is abundantly clear: It has to convert pilots to production to start collecting consumption revenue at scale.
If pilots with customers (prospective or existing) were revenue, C3.ai would be putting up stronger sales gains. Part of the issue with C3.ai's second quarter is expectations. If the company is going to live up to its billing as an enterprise generative AI juggernaut it should have stronger growth.

Microsoft Copilot is being upgraded to OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo model as the software giant rolls out a series of generative AI updates. The move comes as Microsoft and OpenAI move to put the Sam Altman kerfuffle in the rear-view mirror.
IBM and Meta have formed the AI Alliance with 50 founding members aiming to provide "open and transparent innovation" in artificial intelligence. The catch is that many of the big names--Google, Nvidia and Microsoft--driving the AI advances so far aren't among the founding members.
