From a single view, users can see trends in AI responses, analyze sentiment, and see user feedback.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Customers can also trace the life cycle of AI responses, which is helpful for fixing performance and quality issues, such as bias, toxicity, and hallucinations. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The tool also provides a method for comparing different models in terms of performance, cost, and quality issues. “By tracking the token usage across AI models, you can identify which models are the most expensive to run. You can then choose less expensive models to optimize your AI application architecture,” New Relic wrote. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">New Relic currently has over 60 integrations across the AI ecosystem, including popular LLMs, machine learning libraries, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The post <a href="https://sdtimes.com/ai/new-relic-introduces-new-monitoring-solution-for-ai-applications/">New Relic introduces new monitoring solution for AI applications</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sdtimes.com">SD Times</a>.</p> Amazon Bedrock adds ability to import custom models https://sdtimes.com/ai/amazon-bedrock-adds-ability-to-import-custom-models/ SD Times urn:uuid:3b949fb8-e39f-2ef8-bfa5-469f118f187f Tue, 23 Apr 2024 16:02:04 +0000 <p>Amazon has announced several major updates to Amazon Bedrock, its platform that provides developers with access to foundation models (FMs) from AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon.  Amazon Bedrock is a managed service, handling the underlying infrastructure for these models so that developers can build generative &#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://sdtimes.com/ai/amazon-bedrock-adds-ability-to-import-custom-models/">continue reading</a></p> <p>The post <a href="https://sdtimes.com/ai/amazon-bedrock-adds-ability-to-import-custom-models/">Amazon Bedrock adds ability to import custom models</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sdtimes.com">SD Times</a>.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon has announced several major updates to </span><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon Bedrock</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, its platform that provides developers with access to foundation models (FMs) from AI companies such as AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon Bedrock is a managed service, handling the underlying infrastructure for these models so that developers can build generative AI applications without worrying about managing that. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The company added a new Custom Model Import option, which allows developers to add their own proprietary models to Amazon Bedrock. This allows them to leverage domain-specific models that were trained on their own data. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Companies can create their models in Amazon SageMaker or another tool and then import them into Amazon Bedrock.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imported models go through an automated validation process to ensure that they meet proper safeguards and responsible AI standards. It currently supports three open model architectures — Flan-T5, Llama, and Mistral — and more will be added in the future. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon also added a new Model Evaluation capability, which allows teams to compare different models within Amazon Bedrock. According to Amazon, companies can spend days or weeks evaluating different models to determine if they meet their use case. The goal of this new feature is to significantly cut down on evaluation time. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Developers can select evaluation criteria, such as accuracy or robustness, and upload their own dataset. Then, Amazon Bedrock runs evaluations on different models and generates a report that shows how each model performed for each criteria. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another new feature is Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock, which makes it easier for companies to implement safeguards that are tailored to their own responsible AI policies. Most models have their own safeguards, but this acts as an additional layer of safety on top and can block 85% of harmful content, Amazon says.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Developers can create guardrails using a natural language description and can add additional filters for hate speech, insults, sexualized language, prompt injection, and violence. They can also add filters to remove personal information, specific words, or profanity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There were also a couple of updates related to Amazon Titan, which is a family of FMs created by Amazon. Amazon Titan Text Embeddings V2 is an FM that is optimized for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and it will be available next week,  exclusively on Amazon Bedrock. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amazon Titan Image Generator allows developers to enhance or edit existing images via natural language prompts, and is generally available now. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“With today’s announcements, we continue to innovate rapidly for our customers by doubling-down on our commitment to provide them with the most comprehensive set of capabilities and choice of industry-leading models, further democratizing generative AI innovation at scale,” said Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of AI and Data at AWS.</span></p> <p>The post <a href="https://sdtimes.com/ai/amazon-bedrock-adds-ability-to-import-custom-models/">Amazon Bedrock adds ability to import custom models</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sdtimes.com">SD Times</a>.</p> Mabl now offers automated mobile testing https://sdtimes.com/test/mabl-now-offers-automated-mobile-testing/ SD Times urn:uuid:4198edcf-c269-db5c-0043-558c295dae6b Tue, 23 Apr 2024 13:30:19 +0000 <p>The testing company mabl has announced that it now offers automated mobile testing capabilities in its platform, which already offered testing for web and APIs.  It was designed to give full coverage of all the unique functionalities of varying mobile devices and their operating systems.

According to the company, this makes testing more accessible and will help to build a culture of quality throughout the organization.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tests can be executed in parallel across multiple devices, ensuring that testing teams are able to get results faster.  </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The platform also offers capabilities designed to increase trust in test results by minimizing the occurrence of flaky tests, which are tests that return both passing and failing results. These include things like <a href="https://help.mabl.com/hc/en-us/articles/19078583792404-How-auto-heal-works">auto-healing</a>, which is when tests rewrite themselves to adapt to code changes, and <a href="https://help.mabl.com/hc/en-us/articles/19078583820948-How-Intelligent-Wait-works">Intelligent Wait</a>, which tailors testing wait times to the normal pace of the application. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to offering a low-code interface, mabl’s mobile testing capabilities also utilize AI to help make testers even more productive by reducing manual selector tests, speeding up test creation, automatically discovering gaps in test coverage, and identifying performance degradation issues. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ensuring  the  highest  quality  software  across  the  entire  user  experience  is  critical  for organizations  today.  End  user  transactions  globally  occur  primarily  on  smartphones,  yet  the mobile  app  testing  and  deployment  process  has  failed  to  catch  up  to  the  pace  of  change,  and largely  continued  to  be  arcane,  time-intensive,  and  highly  piecemeal  in  its  focus  on  the  testing experience,”  said  Dan  Belcher,  cofounder  at  mabl.  “In  this  climate,  organizations  that  don’t  put mobile  quality  front  and  center  will  fail  to  attract  and  maintain  their  user  base.  At  mabl,  we’ve seen  firsthand  that  organizations  that  embrace  AI-powered,  automated  testing  solutions  have  a competitive  advantage,  by  democratizing  mobile  app  testing  and  accelerating  time  to  market.”</span></p> <p>The post <a href="https://sdtimes.com/test/mabl-now-offers-automated-mobile-testing/">Mabl now offers automated mobile testing</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sdtimes.com">SD Times</a>.</p> Report: Cybersecurity and cloud make up the two largest skill gaps in tech https://sdtimes.com/softwaredev/report-cybersecurity-and-cloud-make-up-the-two-largest-skill-gaps-in-tech/ SD Times urn:uuid:6d4b77ba-f2c1-aff4-497c-0d19bdd014ed Mon, 22 Apr 2024 16:30:43 +0000 <p>Over half of organizations feel that their cybersecurity and cloud skills are lacking, according to the 2024 Technical Skills Report by Pluralsight, a company that provides upskilling resources.

For this year’s report, the company surveyed 1,400 executives and IT professionals.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sixty-five percent of the respondents said that their company was lacking cybersecurity skills and 52% said they were lacking cloud skills. Software development followed closely behind with 40% saying their organizations had a skills gap in that area.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The consequences of having a skills gap include increased workloads (experiences by 96% of respondents) and challenges adopting new technology (57%), maintaining legacy systems (53%), keeping business opportunities (44%), and retaining clients (33%). </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sixty-three percent say that cybersecurity skills will be important to learn in the next year, 47% said cloud, and 45% said software development.</span></p> <p><b>RELATED CONTENT: </b><a href="https://sdtimes.com/culture/staying-relevant-in-tech-requires-continual-learning/"><b>Staying relevant in tech requires continual learning</b></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interestingly, despite all the hype around AI, Pluralsight found that this was the lowest priority area for companies to invest in. When compared to last year, there was only an 11% increase in the number of respondents interested in growing their AI skills. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;While we know AI/ML skills are increasingly critical, we&#8217;ve also found that organizations have other, more immediate upskilling priorities,&#8221; said Aaron Rosenmund, senior director of security and GenAI skills at Pluralsight. &#8220;Considering that the average cost of a data breach is $4.45 million and that successful cyber-attacks are continuing to exponentially increase year-over-year, it becomes clear why cybersecurity skills are top of mind for organizations.&#8221;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, overall the outlook for closing skill gaps has been positive. Seventy-eight percent of respondents said that their IT skills gaps are smaller than they were last year. For those that haven’t made improvements, the main reasons have been loss of staff or challenges with new technologies. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to closing skills gaps, Pluralsight says that upskilling existing employees was more effective than hiring new ones.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sixty-six percent of the survey respondents said that hiring a new employee takes the same amount of time or longer as upskilling existing employees. According to Pluralsight, it takes an average of 10 weeks to hire a new employee. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When comparing the costs between the two, companies in the U.S. spend $23,450 to hire a new employee and $15,231 to upskill an existing one. Currently, companies spend an average of $5,000 on upskilling each employee, which indicates room to do more. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hiring is typically only a stop-gap solution, not a long-term investment in your organization’s growth,” the company wrote in the report. “It’s like trying to fix a burst pipe with duct tape. You can plug the gap and stop the rush of water for a bit, but you won’t fix the root cause of the problem. Upskilling, on the other hand, acts as a lasting seal. It lets you develop the exact skills and proficiencies you need in the moment while giving employees continual development opportunities.”</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The post <a href="https://sdtimes.com/softwaredev/report-cybersecurity-and-cloud-make-up-the-two-largest-skill-gaps-in-tech/">Report: Cybersecurity and cloud make up the two largest skill gaps in tech</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sdtimes.com">SD Times</a>.</p> SmartBear reveals new and upcoming integrations in its API development platfrom SwaggerHub https://sdtimes.com/api/smartbear-reveals-new-and-upcoming-integrations-with-its-api-development-platfrom-swaggerhub/ SD Times urn:uuid:6e75887a-f9e0-1ace-f56f-857d582a2505 Mon, 22 Apr 2024 14:45:20 +0000 <p>SmartBear has announced that its API development platform SwaggerHub has been integrated with Stoplight, an API design company that SmartBear acquired last summer.    According to the company, Stoplight helps simplify the API development process by providing an intuitive interface for design.

The company says these models are significantly better than the Llama 2 models, offering much lower false refusal rates, improved alignment, and more diversity in model responses. Specific model capabilities like reasoning, code generation, and instruction following were also greatly improved, according to Meta.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Llama 3 was pre-trained on more than 15T tokens from publicly available sources, making the Llama 3 training set seven times bigger than Llama 2’s training dataset, with four times more code as well. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Meta, when developing Llama 3, it also developed a new human evaluation set for benchmarking, which contains 1,800 prompts across 12 use cases. These include asking for advice, brainstorming, classification, closed question answering, coding, creative writing, extraction, inhabiting a character/persona, open question answering, reasoning, rewriting, and summarization.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 70B parameter model beat out Claude Sonnet, Mistral Medium, GPT 3.5 and Llama 2 using this new evaluation set.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“With Llama 3, we set out to build the best open models that are on par with the best proprietary models available today,” Meta wrote. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meta has partnered with many companies to make Llama 3 as widely available as possible. It will be available on AWS, Databricks, Google Cloud, Hugging Face, Kaggle, IBM WatsonX, Microsoft Azure, NVIDIA NIM, and Snowflake. Additionally, some hardware vendors will also offer support for it, including AMD, AWS, Dell, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the next several months, Meta plans to update Llama 3 with new features, longer context windows, and more model sizes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It will also begin to release other Llama 3 models over the next several months. Meta said that its largest models are over 400B parameters. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Over the coming months, we’ll release multiple models with new capabilities including multimodality, the ability to converse in multiple languages, a much longer context window, and stronger overall capabilities,” Meta wrote. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The post <a href="https://sdtimes.com/ai/meta-releases-the-first-two-llama-3-models/">Meta releases the first two Llama 3 models</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sdtimes.com">SD Times</a>.</p> SD Times Open-Source Project of the Week: STORM https://sdtimes.com/ai/sd-times-open-source-project-of-the-week-storm/ SD Times urn:uuid:346d718d-b8de-c6d5-6a9f-ff4ca241b62c Fri, 19 Apr 2024 13:00:05 +0000 <p>STORM is an open-source project that can research and develop a full report of a topic, complete with sources.

It originated from a paper out of Stanford. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the Stanford researchers, there is a disconnect online between “the vast amounts of accessible information and what an individual can realistically assimilate.” They explained that while generative AI models can generate information, they actually contribute more to the problem by creating even more information to parse through. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This research project explores building a knowledge curation agent that can proactively research a topic, organize the information, and present the most pertinent insights in a reader-friendly way. Hopefully, STORM can provide a good starting point for knowledge discovery and liberate in-depth learning from the laborious search process,” the Stanford website </span><a href="https://storm.genie.stanford.edu/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">states</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It breaks down the report generation process into two stages: pre-writing and writing. In the pre-writing stage, STORM gathers information from the Internet, collects citations, and creates an outline. In the writing stage, STORM uses that outline and citations to create a Wikipedia-like article. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It conducts research using two strategies. One is to look at articles on similar topics and then using that information to fine-tune the question-asking process. The other is to simulate a conversation between a Wikipedia writer and a topic expert, which allows the model to continuously update its understanding of the topic and ask pertinent follow-up questions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The original paper that STORM was announced in was </span><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.14207"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Assisting in Writing Wikipedia-like Articles From Scratch with Large Language Models</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by Yijia Shao, Yucheng Jiang, Theodore A.

In other words, how do they know if what they&#8217;ve delivered is actually what they set out to deliver?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One answer to this is by ensuring there is alignment throughout the organization, from business priority to ideation to production and delivery, and with marketing and sales on board. And that is done through the creation of value streams, which provide insights into how those teams are operating and continuing (or not) to meet organizational goals.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;When you think about alignment, you have to think about it across our whole value streams of tools, people and processes,&#8221; explained Lance Knight, Chief Value Stream Architect at Broadcom-AOD.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Broadcom, its ValueOps platform helps tear down organizational silos and helps teams collaborate by providing a single platform that ensures planning a project and delivering outcomes are aligned. When thinking about alignment, it has to bring in all the organization&#8217;s value streams of tools, people and process, Knight explained, adding that alignment has to be both downward and upward.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re in operations, and you&#8217;re working on things, but do those activities align to the outcomes and goals that you&#8217;re trying to achieve?&#8221; he noted. &#8220;Do they align to your OKRs? Do they align to cost and spending?&#8221;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Or, he said, let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re a developer and a defect comes in from a customer, and you think that&#8217;s something you need to prioritize and fix right away. But that may not align to the business goal, and isn&#8217;t connected to the prioritization alignments in portfolio management. So, while pushing the goals and objectives downward from the business, it&#8217;s also important to allow upward alignment, where portfolio teams have awareness of what the different units are working on and say that, yes, there&#8217;s technical debt to be cleaned up, but perhaps it&#8217;s not important that it get done today to achieve the goals.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, Knight noted, communication is a two-way street, and perhaps a developer could argue that something in the code needs to be fixed today, even though it might not align with the business goals. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alignment, he pointed out, is about sharing the same vision by having all the information about what the teams are working on and knowledge about any particular artifact. That information flows up and down the value stream, in an automated and connected way, within the ValueOps platform.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tying together Clarity, Rally, ConnectALL and Insights &#8211; ValueOps by Broadcom’s business stakeholders have an understanding of why teams are fixing what they&#8217;re fixing. And this alignment, Knight said, solves other problems as well. &#8220;With alignment,&#8221; he said, &#8220;you establish trust … trust that we&#8217;re building the right things.&#8221;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The post <a href="https://sdtimes.com/softwaredev/organizational-alignment-is-the-key-to-delivering-customer-value/">Organizational Alignment is the Key to Delivering Customer Value</a> appeared first on <a href="https://sdtimes.com">SD Times</a>.</p> Live Event - Running a Restaurant Soup to Nuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGqu4u0l9Ys TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:8f085c3c-2d6b-6ecd-82e6-a5c5d3b30ca1 Tue, 26 Mar 2024 07:56:14 +0000 Fred Langley's Zoom Meeting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VgB883GVVk TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:a5575d9e-d40a-eabe-2412-cefe09273b59 Mon, 25 Mar 2024 11:51:19 +0000 Restaurant Business Tip Live Event Tomorrow! #restaurantsystems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojYHfjklKMg TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:7bb87293-3216-2bbb-1dc0-ba29844d390a Mon, 25 Mar 2024 02:01:27 +0000 Restaurant Systems Pro Success Stories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB23e6rhK2I TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:e068a83b-1161-8b9d-0bf9-08d76d4563ad Sun, 10 Mar 2024 12:41:21 +0000 https://go.restaurantsystemspro.net/black_friday #restaurantsystems #restaurantcoach #blackfriday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDza0hWt7L4 TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:b91c6553-49e6-31e1-56bd-9483c6993b19 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 00:08:55 +0000 THE SERVER YOU HIRED THAT... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62SP-njHC_k TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:c6099dc6-dd70-8642-26f3-68406714b4d4 Thu, 16 Nov 2023 17:41:06 +0000 Average is the enemy! #restaurantowner #averageistheenemy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L0H3n3jw54 TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:9fc46c4f-ce65-2c8c-df88-cc2012609d13 Thu, 16 Nov 2023 04:07:30 +0000 Unlock the Blueprint to Effortlessly Open Multiple Restaurants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTdCZ6KNeF4 TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:31d5b2d6-9fe3-154e-e995-6f2389b52a31 Fri, 27 Oct 2023 16:09:38 +0000 Revolutionizing Your Restaurant: Join our Community for a Game-Changing Experience! #restaurantowner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nz9GKiJQUp0 TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:c67e1d97-a47a-4f6c-c610-23726e6c2db4 Wed, 18 Oct 2023 23:07:55 +0000 Boost Your Profits: Unleashing Bartender Efficiency and Increasing Alcohol Sales #restaurantsystems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_TIxmcWAPk TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:fe032774-5e49-b4db-e518-98317d2a1c66 Tue, 17 Oct 2023 22:22:00 +0000 iPhone hacks for restaurant owners!#iphonehacks #restaurantowner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEIUw6EHH9Q TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:15c6cc00-bd9a-2a54-6d3b-4b6e496f3d4e Fri, 13 Oct 2023 22:35:48 +0000 Secrets to Achieving the Ideal Prime Cost for Your Business #restaurantowner #restaurantoperations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw4_SF-rSeg TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:442cab12-2aa2-2aaf-6896-20bd7d03293f Wed, 11 Oct 2023 22:57:42 +0000 Small changes lead to big results. #restaurantowner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L62M9QuDuY TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:9eb8f5a3-91eb-3a09-e5fa-46fc4acc2ef1 Wed, 11 Oct 2023 00:25:32 +0000 #restaurantowner #bartheft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5etITfrO1M TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:193f5e58-acf0-11cb-d81e-fc66b776ad26 Sun, 08 Oct 2023 16:26:04 +0000 Unleash Restaurant Success: Train Your Team for Unforgettable Experiences! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9YPsWi4hio TheRestaurantExpert urn:uuid:c67a73ec-f8ea-bdfb-a676-c5cf45552c68 Sun, 08 Oct 2023 02:10:00 +0000 Free doesn’t always mean compromising on functionality.
