Satya talked about foundation AI models at length today at #MicrosoftBuild2024, including our Phi-3 models. From an Adaptive cloud approach perspective what is happening with Small Language Models like Phi-3 is very exciting because it is enabling previously impossible use cases at the edge. Nowhere is this truer than what is happening with 📹 Azure AI Video Indexer which has just announced video summarization at the edge supporting key customer scenarios like 👷‍♀️worker safety, 🏗 jobsite compliance, 🏪 loss prevention and more. Per Inbal S. -"AI application developers can leverage APIs to create textual summaries for audio and video files, anywhere."

I love following Andre Fomin’s videos every week to learn about new patterns and features. Andre has now become a fan of Azure Cosmos DB’s new vector index with DiskANN. In my (biased) opinion, DiskANN offers the best tradeoff between cost and performance. I will simplify DiskANN concept heavily but it enables the same performance and accuracy as HSNW on disk rather than memory, making it much cheaper. #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #MicrosoftAI #DataAnalytics #BigData #TechInnovation #EnterpriseAI #Azure #CosmosDB #MicrosoftFabric #GenerativeAI #BusinessIntelligence #TechCommunity #Innovation #RAG

Incredibly proud of the latest Kinesis Client Library version (3.0) which, when compared to previous KCL versions, reduces compute costs by up to 33%. KCL 3.0 introduces an enhanced load balancing algorithm that continuously monitors resource utilization of the stream processing workers and automatically redistributes the load from over-utilized workers to other underutilized workers. This ensures even CPU utilization across workers and removes the need to over-provision the stream processing compute workers which reduces cost. Additionally, KCL 3.0 is built with the AWS SDK for Java 2.x for improved performance and security features, fully removing the dependency on the AWS SDK for Java 1.x. #Kinesis #DataStreaming #KCL

Sudha Raghavan joined theCUBE to share how CNCF projects use #OCI, Kubernetes's role in enabling #AI, and the impact of open source innovation. https://lnkd.in/gAfCbPgg

This is a cool demo. One takeaway from this is you don't have to stick Generative AI in the middle of your application/solution to provide value. In this demo, Generative AI is running beside your legacy application with the help of Azure Logic Apps. So consider existing pub-sub architectures that exist and how Generative AI can compliment those existing solutions. IMO, big opportunity here for integration developers looking to add additional value to their organizations, without disassembling existing solutions.

When it's pumpkin spice season, that means it's also Flare-On Challenge season. The Flare-On Challenge is a reverse engineering contest held every year by the FLARE team, and this marks its eleventh year running. It draws thousands of players from around the world every year, and is the foremost single-player CTF-style challenge for current and aspiring reverse engineers. It provides individual players with a gauntlet of increasingly challenging puzzles to test their ability, and earn a position in our hall of fame. Veteran competitors who have been following the live countdown over at flare-on.com may have already marked their calendar for the contest launch at 8:00pm ET on Sept. 27th, 2024. It will run for six weeks, ending at 8:00pm ET on Nov. 8th, 2024. The Flare-On contest always features a diverse array of architectures, but with a strong representation of Windows binaries. This year’s contest may be the most diverse ever, with 10 challenges covering architectures including Windows, Linux, JavaScript, .NET, YARA, UEFI, Verilog, and Web3. Yes, you read that correctly, there is a YARA challenge this year. The challenges are often designed to represent Reverse Engineering challenges the FLARE team has encountered on the frontlines of cybersecurity. If you successfully crush all 10 challenges you will be eligible to receive a prize, which will be revealed later.
