Recorded live at the SAP Product Expert Training in St. Leon-Rot, this episode goes straight to the source: a real-world conversation with practitioners in the middle of customer implementations.Fernanda Rodrigues sits down with Joe Livezey, Global Head of Public Cloud Practice at Syntax, and Dennis Leslie, Head of the North American Product Success at SAP, to dig into two topics that matter a lot right now: parallel line strategy and Business AI adoption in SAP Cloud ERP.Dennis breaks down what

Anthropic launched Claude Haiku 5.5, slashing costs up to 90% down to $0.10/M input tokens and $0.50/M output tokens while introducing adjustable reasoning effort settings for high-density subagent architectures. Meanwhile, researchers at Vals AI leveraged a team of Claude Opus 5.5 agents to surface two promising room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates for next-generation spintronic memory using density functional theory simulations.We’ll talk about:High-speed lightweight model featuring

CoT override: when a model makes a decision in its CoT but ignores it in its response TLDR We train models on two conflicting traits: (1) caring about the user's health, and (2) promoting smokingThose models do not generalize to a stable persona, instead they have a split brain: sometimes responding as one persona or the otherThose models exhibit CoT overridewhere they will have a health-aligned CoT but still answer in the smoking personaCoT override exists in frontier models. Prompts about

Epistemic status: a curiosity I chased for an afternoon. Facts verified and footnoted; the why is speculation. AI use: research (more examples and their context), review, grammar and light phrasing. No added hormones I somehow know that the use of added hormones in poultry (which includes chicken) is illegal in the US.This means that all chicken meat in the US is produced without added hormones. To my big surprise, chicken packaging in the US explicitly says "no added hormones": Foster Farms Fresh

OpenAI has published 722 manuscripts containing AI-generated mathematical results. The release raises a practical question: how will researchers verify the claims and work out what these results actually establish? On Hashtag Trending for Thursday, October 8, 2026, Jim Love covers OpenAI's math research, ChatGPT's new Intelligent UI, Mistral's European AI model and the continuing VMware customer backlash. OPENAI'S MATH RESULTS The 722 manuscripts fall into 372 families of related results, including

This paper investigates why transformer language models display sudden, emergent capabilities during training by analyzing how they learn attention patterns. Through experiments on both real language models and synthetic tasks like linear maps and cellular automata, the authors demonstrate that acquiring downstream skills correlates with the abrupt mastery of sparse attention mechanisms. Furthermore, the study reveals that larger models overcome this learning bottleneck earlier because they acquire

In scienceResearchers in Vienna and Beijing have independently built the first nuclear clocks based on oscillations inside thorium nuclei, publishing their findings in Nature. The New York Times reports they would lose about one second over millions of years, although the best atomic clocks remain roughly 10,000 times more precise. Nuclear clocks could eventually enable portable, ultra-precise timekeeping and help detect certain kinds of dark matter. In immigration enforcement An ICE agent shot

In this episode, Aaron Bach and Dr. Darren Pulsipher discuss why blanket AI bans fail, how shadow AI increases organizational risk, and what leaders can do to adopt AI responsibly.The conversation explores AI sovereignty, multi-model strategies, sensitive-data redaction, observability, human

What has to change before an AI pilot can become part of a regulated financial workflow? In this episode of AI at Work, I speak with Tom Carey, President of Broadridge's Global Technology and Operations Business, about the work required to move AI beyond personal productivity tools and prototypes. Tom brings an unusual perspective to the conversation. He studied AI in the 1990s, long before current computing power and language models made commercial deployment practical, and now works where
