Memory and network bottlenecks are increasingly limiting AI system performance by reducing GPU utilization and overall efficiency, ultimately preventing infrastructure from reaching its full potential despite enormous investments. At the core of this challenge is a fundamental trade-off in the communication technologies used for memory and network interconnects. Datacenters typically deploy two types of physical cables for communication between GPUs. Traditional copper links are power-efficient and reliable, but limited to very short distances (< 2 meters) that restrict their use to within a single GPU rack. Optical fiber links can reach tens of meters, but they consume far more power and fail up to 100 times as often as copper. A team working across Microsoft aims to resolve this trade-off by developing MOSAIC, a novel optical link technology that can provide low power and cost, high reliability, and long reach (up to 50 meters) simultaneously. This approach leverages a hardware-system co-design…

Citigroup has tapped Shobhit Varshney, a longtime IBM executive, as its new head of AI, the latest sign of how Wall Street is racing to bring artificial intelligence deeper into banking.Varshney comes from IBM, where he was the head of data and artificial intelligence for the technology pioneer’s consulting business. At Citi, he will report to Anand Selva, the bank’s chief operating officer; and will work closely with the firm’s chief technology officer, David Griffiths, to scale AI across the company, according to a memo sent to Citi employees on Tuesday morning seen by Business Insider.Citi has already given about…

Google’s artificial intelligence division has unveiled significant enhancements to its Veo video generation models, signaling a push to make advanced AI tools more accessible for developers and creators.

TechNext will use its patented AI-powered platform to analyze, strengthen, and accelerate innovation in semiconductor manufacturing across the Northeastern United States. Lack Of Quantitative Tools Hinders Innovation “Semiconductors are the backbone of every advanced technology, yet the journey from lab to fab is riddled with uncertainty,” said TechNext co-founder and C.E.O., Prof. Christopher…

Broadcom Inc. is expanding the capabilities of its VMware Tanzu Platform for developers, adding support for artificial intelligence agents via a new data lakehouse called VMware Tanzu Data Intelligence, which provides low-latency access to multimodal data at large scale. It was introduced today at VMware Explore 2025 in Las Vegas alongside VMware Tanzu Platform 10.3, a new update that promises to help integrate enhanced generative AI capabilities into new and existing applications, Broadcom said. Officially debuted in 2024, Tanzu Platform is a Cloud Foundry-based platform as a service that provides a pre-engineered AI application development platform with built-in best practices, configurations…

Oncology tech is back. After three years of declining investment, the sector has already raised $1.3B YTD, exceeding the full-year totals for both 2023 and 2024. At this pace, funding will exceed $2B by year-end. Several factors are driving this recovery. Recent cuts to public cancer research funding are leaving startups to drive innovation, while AI advances are accelerating precision medicine’s transition from development to standard care. Precision medicine customizes treatments based on individual genetic, molecular, and biological factors rather than applying uniform therapies, unlocking market opportunities for tech-enabled diagnostics and treatment selection. Companies that can harness these technologies are…

By Alex Mason Precision beats vague promises in medicine. Still, many areas of healthcare run on pure subjectivity. The typical scenario: A patient reports feeling unwell, a doctor makes an assessment and then the treatment regimen begins. But what if that initial assessment was based on incomplete information or was simply incorrect? What if guesswork could be removed from the equation? Technology is ushering in a new era of objectivity in healthcare. Advanced analytics and AI are bringing long-promised enhancements to fields including autism, oncology, ADHD and musculoskeletal health. Alex Mason of FTV Capital A May study found that AI…

Repetitive administrative tasks continue to be a significant source of employee burnout across various industries. In healthcare, as Microsoft’s Will Guyman pointed out on a recent episode of Emerj’s ‘AI in Business’ podcast, clinicians perform thousands of clicks per shift to manage documentation and non-clinical tasks, a workload strongly linked to burnout: “Administrative burden is the first thing that comes to mind. It’s well…

Should you hear your colleagues in HR talking about peanut butter, you might be disappointed to find out they’re not actually planning to restock the office pantry.Instead, they may be referring to the decidedly less tasty practice of compensation planning. In the total rewards world, “peanut butter” pay can refer to giving workers flat raises across the board, in the same way you might spread the snack evenly across a piece of toast.Starbucks recently said it would switch to the peanut butter approach, giving all salaried employees in North America the same 2% raise, rather than allowing managers to grant…
