Embedding models help transform complex data — text, images, audio, and video — into numerical representations that computers can understand. The embeddings capture the semantic meaning of the data, making them useful for tasks like search, recommendation systems, and natural language processing. Still, they can struggle with more complex materials, such as documents comprising a mix of text and images, so enterprises often have to build pre-processing pipelines to get data ready for AI to use. Canadian AI company Cohere hopes to solve this problem with Embed 4, its latest multimodal model that supports frontier search and retrieval capabilities. The model can quickly sear

OpenAI has announced a new family of models, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and GPT-4.1 nano, which it says outperforms GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini “across the board.” In conjunction with the launch of the GPT-4.1 family, OpenAI also announced that it is deprecating GPT-4.5 Preview in the API. GPT-4.5 Preview will be turned off completely on July 14, 2025, because GPT-4.1 offers similar or better performance for many functions at lower cost and latency, the company said. OpenAI said that the new models have significantly larger context windows than their predecessors—one million tokens, compared to GPT-4o’s 128,000—and offer improved long-context comprehension.

Internet outages are bad news for small- to medium-sized businesses. Point-of-sale systems won’t work when connections fail, meaning transactions can’t go through and revenue is lost until service is restored. And, as we know from the news, the situation is only getting worse with the increasing frequency of intense storms that tear down lines. SMBs know they can ill afford downtime because their tight operating margins limit their tolerance for lost revenue. Those same restrictions place it beyond their means to hire in-house technical know-how and build infrastructure that could keep them up and running. It’s a serious financial issue that needs to be confronted. Inter

Google has unveiled a new generative AI (genAI) model, Dolphin Gemma, which will attempt to decode how dolphins communicate with each other. Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals on the planet and communicate partly through whistles and calls. However, it is still unknown whether dolphins have an actual language. Google is hoping Dolphin Gemma can help to clarify that. The model has been trained on a huge data collection of recordings of sounds from bottlenose dolphins from the Wild Dolphin Project. It will begin field testing this summer. At the same time, Google

Every year, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks break records for frequency, size, and sophistication, making it imperative that enterprises adopt powerful mitigation measures. To be effective, those measures require network and processing capacity that can handle the flood of requests DDoS attacks generate in their quest to overwhelm corporate servers.  Defense mechanisms need to incorporate detection technology that can quickly distinguish attacks from legitimate, normal spikes in incoming business traffic. And they need to generate reports on DDoS incidents to help businesses plan future security enhancements and to provide data that supports audit and compliance requiremen

Apple has a brand new plan to make Apple Intelligence smarter. That plan is you — more specifically, your data. A post on the company’s Machine Learning blog explains the plan to begin on-device analysis of your user data. Apple trains its own AI using synthetic data, but this is a limited approach because models trained this way can struggle to understand trends when supporting Writing Tools or summaries. The idea is that by combining y

Microsoft never sleeps. In addition to its steady releases of major and minor updates to the current version of Windows 10, the company frequently rolls out public preview builds to members of its Windows Insider Program, allowing them to test out — and even help shape — upcoming features.

Windows 11 24H2 has been released, but behind the scenes, Microsoft is constantly working to improve the newest version of Windows. The company frequently rolls out public preview builds to members of its Windows Insider Program, allowing them to test out — and even help shape — upcoming features. Skip to the builds The Windows Insider program is divided into four channels: The Canary Channel is where platform changes (such as major updates to the Windows kernel and new APIs) are previewed. These changes are not tied to a particular Windows release and may never ship at all. Little
