As one would expect, artificial intelligence was a big theme at last week’s National Retail Federation’s annual event in New York City, as it was last year, but there was one subtle difference. The 2025 edition was focused more on AI education, whereas I felt this year’s NRF focused more on use cases. In fact, one of the speakers I saw said something to the effect that NRF is no longer a technology show but rather a business outcomes event. Concurrent with the event, Nvidia Corp. released its latest trends report, State of AI in Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods,…

The Nemotron 3 lineup – comprising Nano, Super, and Ultra – delivers leading performance for multi-agent AI systems, combining advanced reasoning, conversational, and collaborative capabilities. The models leverage a hybrid Mamba-Transformer mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture, providing best-in-class inference throughput while supporting context lengths of up to 1 million tokens. Nemotron 3 Nano, the smallest model, is optimized for cost-efficient inference and tasks such as software debugging, content summarization, AI assistant workflows, and information retrieval. Despite possessing 30 billion total parameters, it intelligently activates only about 3 billion per token. With a unique hybrid MoE design, Nano achieves up to 4× higher…

Automation Anywhere’s tie-up with OpenAI pushes enterprise agentic AI beyond automation hype. It’s bold, but the tangible value still hinges on outcomes. Automation Anywhere just dropped a major update in the enterprise AI arms race. The company announced new AI-native agentic solutions built with OpenAI’s reasoning models. It’s more than marketing speak. It’s a deliberate push to put AI that acts, not just responds, into the core of how work gets done. The pitch is simple. Traditional automation stacks repeated rigid rules and brittle flows. The new approach combines Automation Anywhere’s Process Reasoning Engine with OpenAI models to augment bots’…

Enterprise AI World 2025, co-located with KMWorld 2025, offered a clear signal this year: the era of “drop a chatbot on the intranet and call it transformation” is over. The conversations shifted toward AI that sits inside real work—capturing tacit knowledge, restructuring workflows, building organizational memory, and reframing what humans are actually good for. Across the keynotes and sessions, three patterns kept repeating: AI is moving from content generator to decision partner and team member. Knowledge, structured, contextual, and connected, is becoming the real platform. Policy and practice, including leadership and workforce design, are now the rate-limiting steps, not models.…

The Federal Trade Commission lost its antitrust case against Meta last year, but the regulator hasn’t given up on its attempts to punish the social media company for its acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram. The FTC is appealing a ruling last year in which a federal judge found that the government hadn’t proven that Meta is currently operating as a monopoly.”Meta has maintained its dominant position and record profits for well over a decade not through legitimate competition, but by buying its most significant competitive threats,” the FTC’s Bureau of Competition Director Daniel Guarnera said in a statement. “The Trump-Vance…

Hello Cyber Builders 🖖It has been a few weeks since the last issue of Cyber Builders. I’ve been busy building! But rest assured, we are continuing our journey into the 12 Cybersecurity Platforms and AI impacts in them. In previous parts, we explored how AI is enhancing 9 cybersecurity platforms, such as Network Security and Endpoint Detection and Response.We’re wrapping up this series by looking at the three platforms most changed by AI. These platforms handle what people create, communicate, and trust—the softer side of cybersecurity. As we move forward, let’s examine how these areas differ from the more technical…

OnePlus has strongly denied a recent report suggesting that the company is being “dismantled” and winding down its business, reaffirming that its operations are continuing normally. The clarification comes after an Android Headlines investigation claimed that OnePlus was effectively collapsing and being absorbed into its parent company Oppo, a narrative that triggered widespread speculation across tech circles and social platforms. According to the report, OnePlus’ global presence and market share have sharply declined, internal teams are allegedly being reduced, and key product launches might have been cancelled as part of an asserted consolidation strategy within Oppo. While no official confirmation…

What is the best internet provider in Houston?CNET’s broadband experts have landed on AT&T Fiber as the best overall ISP in the city. With more than 63% of American adults now realizing they’re overpaying for subpar service, AT&T Fiber is a good choice for its strong customer satisfaction ratings, symmetrical upload and download speeds and diverse plan options. The biggest drawback is availability. If AT&T doesn’t cover your address, Xfinity and Verizon 5G Home Internet make excellent alternatives. For those looking for cheap internet, Houston has plenty of affordable choices. Astound Broadband offers the lowest entry price in town at…
