Integrating context from tools and data sources into LLMs can be challenging, which impacts ease-of-use in the development of AI agents. To address this challenge, Anthropic introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Imagine you want to build an MCP server for your API to make it available […]

As foundation model training infrastructure scales to tens of thousands of accelerators, efficient utilization of those high-value resources becomes paramount. In particular, as the cluster gets larger, hardware failures become more frequent (~ few hours) and recovery from previously saved checkpoints becomes slower (up to 30 minutes), significantly slowing down training progress. A checkpoint represents […]

Credentials are an essential part of modern software development and deployment, granting bearers privileged access to systems, applications, and data. However, credential-related vulnerabilities remain the predominant entry point exploited by threat actors in the cloud. Stolen credentials “are now the second-highest initial infection vector, making up 16% of our investigations,” said Jurgen Kutscher, vice-president, Mandiant […]

Know Your Customer (KYC) processes are foundational to any Financial Services Institution’s (FSI) regulatory compliance practices and risk mitigation strategies. KYC is how financial institutions verify the identity of their customers and assess associated risks. But as customers expect instant approvals, FSIs face pressure to streamline their manual, time-consuming and error-prone KYC processes.  The good […]

As cloud environments expand beyond traditional architectures to include multiple clouds, managing your infrastructure effectively becomes more complex. Imagine easily accessing consistent and up-to-date location information across different cloud providers, so your multi-cloud applications are designed and optimized with performance, security, and regulatory compliance in mind. Today, we are making this a reality with Cloud […]
