Twenty years ago, translation at Google began as one of our pioneering machine learning experiments to turn the science of language into the magic of human connection. That experiment has come a long way with over a trillion words being translated for billions of users across our products every month. Today, we’re taking our next…
What You Should Know The ZS Impact Institute has published its inaugural 2026 Future of Health Report, surveying over 10,000 global healthcare consumers and licensed medical doctors across the U.S., Germany, and China. A structural shift in patient orientation is taking place: approximately 90% of individuals utilizing AI and digital interfaces trust the generated health…
Microsoft has launched Microsoft Frontier Company, a new consulting organization built to help enterprises plan and deploy AI. The company is investing a staggering $2.5B and deploying 6,000 industry and engineering experts to support the initiative. Could helping companies adopt AI actually become as or more valuable as selling the technology itself? Could this solve…
When you work on a local Python project, tracking your changes with Git is a great way to maintain a history of your code. However, keeping your repository only on your computer leaves your work vulnerable to hardware failures and makes collaboration difficult. By learning how to use GitHub, you can back up your work,…
December 05, 2024 — Posted by Colby Banbury, Emil Njor, Andrea Mattia Garavagno, Vijay Janapa Reddi – Harvard UniversityTinyML is an exciting frontier in machine learning, enabling models to run on extremely low-power devices such as microcontrollers and edge devices. However, the growth of this field has been stifled by a lack of tailored large…
What is the Role of Mathematics in Modern Machine Learning? The past decade has witnessed a shift in how progress is made in machine learning. Research involving carefully designed and mathematically principled architectures result in only marginal improvements while compute-intensive and engineering-first efforts that scale to ever larger training sets and model parameter counts result…
Flashy AI models make good demos. Useful assistants save time. That is how I look at Apple Siri AI and Google Gemini. I am less interested in which assistant sounds more impressive on stage and more interested in which one can help me send the message, summarize the document, find the answer, change the setting,…
Automate predictive maintenance with vision AI. Combine RF-DETR and Gemini 2.5 Pro in Roboflow to detect equipment defects before failure. Predictive maintenance with vision uses cameras and trained computer vision models to catch the visible early-warning signs of equipment failure, surface defects, wear, corrosion, and contamination, before they escalate into unplanned downtime. Instead of waiting…
Modular’s annual developer conference returns to San Francisco on August 18th. One day of launches, live demos, and the people building and making big bets on the AI stack. On August 18th, the Modular community gathers in San Francisco for ModCon 2026: Compute Unlocked. ModCon is an intimate one-day conference built around a single idea:…
At Microsoft Build 2026, we announced Foundry Managed Compute and Hugging Face models on Foundry — a curated catalog of open-weight models from the Hugging Face ecosystem, refreshed weekly, deployable in one click onto Foundry Managed Compute. Weights are pre-staged in Azure, runtimes are built and scanned by Microsoft, and every model in the Collection…
