A 33% pre-market pop wasn’t just any jump; it reflects how Oracle is carving a richer niche in the AI infrastructure race. Turns out, it wasn’t just hype. Oracle’s remaining performance obligations (RPO)—a metric

Warner Bros. Discovery has thrown down the gauntlet in Los Angeles federal court, launching a lawsuit that reads more like a Western showdown—except the guns are pixels and the territory is AI image generators. The target? Midjourney, the AI platform accused of churning out unauthorized visuals of cultural icons like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Scooby-Doo,

Large language models (LLMs) like GPT and PaLM are transforming how we work and interact, powering everything from programming assistants to universal chatbots. But here’s the catch: running these incredibly powerful models, especially as hosted services, is very expensive, often costing 10x times more than a traditional keyword search. A huge part of this cost

Basic chatbots get much of the publicity associated with modern AI platforms, but they have limited use cases, providing a simple natural language interface to search tools. It’s certainly useful, provided you implement fine-tuning and grounding in your own data, but it is still best thought of as an extension of existing search tools. AI

When working with ASP.NET Core applications, there are several ways in which you can enhance your application’s performance. Caching is one of the most widely used and proven strategies that can significantly boost your application’s scalability and performance.
