Streaming vision-language models (VLMs) continuously generate responses given an instruction prompt and an online stream of input frames. This is a core mechanism for real-time visual assistants. Existing VLM frameworks predominantly assess models in offline settings. In contrast, the performance of a streaming VLM depends on additional metrics beyond pure video understanding, including proactiveness, which reflects the timeliness of the model’s responses, and consistency, which captures the robustness of its responses over time. To address this limitation, we propose VSAS-Bench, a new…

- xAI-Anthropic deal signals the rise of AI compute as a standalone business
New SpaceX IPO filings suggest frontier AI firms are beginning to treat compute infrastructure as a standalone commercial business, with Elon Musk’s xAI agreeing to provide large-scale AI capacity to competitor Anthropic. The filing disclosed that Anthropic agreed to purchase compute services delivered through xAI’s Colossus and Colossus II AI infrastructure clusters through May 2029 under an agreement valued at roughly $1.25 billion per month. The arrangement is notable because Anthropic competes directly with xAI in the market for frontier AI models and enterprise AI services, suggesting at least some AI developers are increasingly willing to buy large-scale compute capacity from rival infrastructure operators rather than rely exclusively on internally owned GPU fleets or traditional hyperscaler cloud platforms. SpaceX also said in the filing that it “may enter into additional compute capacity agreements with third parties in the future,” indicating the Anthropic deal may not remain

Workday conversational AI platform Sana for Workday is now ready to talk about IT Service Management (ITSM) automation as part of the company’s broader effort to help enterprises streamline workflows, especially across HR and finance, with autonomous AI agents. The new Sana for ITSM capabilities are intended to automate workflows for employee on- and offboarding, access changes, and everyday IT requests. Another new addition, the Travel agent, can help employees plan trips, book travel, and automatically manage expenses in one place, the company said. The unification of cross-departmental workflows, according to Pareekh Jain , principal analyst at Pareekh Consulting, could provide significant advantages to CIOs: “If HR, finance, onboarding, access requests, payroll, travel, and IT support are tied together in one platform, enterprises can reduce friction, automate approvals faster, improve employee experience.” “At the same time, Sana’s agentic backend will also get more organization c

- With AI, typing’s out, talking’s in
Eight months ago, LinkedIn co-founder and former CEO Reid Hoffman confessed : “I am voicepilled.” He argued that talking instead of typing was the next great leap in computing. Being “voicepilled,” he said, was the epiphany that you can be vastly more productive and creative when not bogged down by the Victorian-era contraption known as the typewriter ,or its modern version, the PC keyboard. What’s changed is the rise of super high-quality AI-based speech-to-text tools, which not only capture what you say, but figure out what you intended to say, erasing your “ums” and “ahs” and tweaking your sentences automatically to be more articulate. The best example for this category of voice application on the desktop is Wispr Flow , which launched Sept 30, 2024. Other products include Superwhisper, MacWhisper, and others. In recent weeks, some mainstream news outlets have noticed the rising phenomenon of voicepilling. For example, The Guardian published a piece earlier this month headlined, “ T

- Your AI agents need a terminal, not just a vector database
When agentic workflows fail, developers often assume the problem lies in the underlying model’s reasoning abilities. In reality, the limited information provided by the retrieval interface is often the primary limiting factor. Researchers at multiple universities propose a technique called direct corpus interaction (DCI) that lets agents bypass embedding models entirely, searching raw corpora directly using standard command-line tools. The limits of classic retrieval In classic retrieval systems such as RAG , documents are chunked, converted into vector representations (or embeddings), and indexed offline in a vector database. When an AI system processes a query, a retriever filters the entire database to return a ranked "top-k" list of document snippets that match the query. All evidence must pass through this scoring mechanism before any downstream reasoning occurs. But modern agentic applications demand much more. "Dense retrieval is very useful for broad semantic recall, but when a

예를 들어보자. 과거의 데이터센터 수요는 기업의 비용 절감이나 클라우드 전환 과정에서 발생하는 민간의 ROI 중심 의사결정에 의존했다. 그러나 이제는 데이터 주권과 지정학적 리스크 관리, 그리고 계산 능력 그 자체를 인프라로 인식하는 정책적·전략적 가치가 수요를 견인한다. 이러한 변화는 데이터센터의 경제적 가치를 재정의하는 전환점이다. 즉, 데이터센터가 단지 서버를 수용하는 공간에 머무는 것이 아니라, 20년 이상의 ‘장기 현금흐름이 기대되는 핵심 인프라 자산’으로 재평가받고 있는 것이다. 자본시장의 관점에서 데이터센터가 지속 가능한 자산으로 평가받기 위한 본질은 단순히 전력을 얼마나 확보했느냐에 있지 않다. 오히려 확보된 전력을 얼마나 장기간 안정적인 디지털 수요로 전환할 수 있는 ‘구조적 환경’을 구축했느냐가 데이터센터의 자산 가치의 성패를 결정한다. 이러한 구조적 환경을 뒷받침하는 요인은 바로 ‘수요 주체의 다층화’이다. 과거 글로벌 하이퍼스케일러 중심의 수요가 시장 성장을 주도했다면, 최근에는 AI 워크로드를 기반으로 한 기업들과 함께 금융·공공 등 규제 민감 산업, 그리고 대규모 디지털 플랫폼 기업들까지 직접적인 인프라 수요자로 확대되고 있다. 특정 고객군에 집중된 모델에서 벗어나 정책과 산업, 기술 요인이 복합적으로 작용하는 다층적 수요 구조가 확보되면서 데이터센터는 비로소 경기 사이클을 견디는 강력한 인프라 자산으로서의 지위를 갖춰가고 있다. 무엇보다 고객들이 3~5년 단위의 단기 논의를 넘어 확장 옵션과 장기 전력 확보를 요구하기 시작했다는 점은 데이터센터가 이미 자본시장의 장기 자산 영역에 진입했음을 보여준다. 동시에 데이터센터가 실물 인프라로서의 가치를 실현하고 중장기 수요를 유지하려면 전력 공급이라는 필요조건을 넘어 세 가지 핵심 전제도 뒷받침되어야 한다. 첫째는 ‘예측 가능한 규제 환경’이다. 15년 이상의 투자 회수 기간을 전제로 하는 자산 특성상, 인허가나 제도적 일관성은 기술적 리스크보다 더 치명적인 변수가 된다. 둘째는 네트워크 허

- Handling AI disruption and failure to deliver
Numerous surveys show that businesses are failing to deliver a measurable return on their artificial intelligence (AI) investment.
