Beyond the Lab: Performance Engineering for Production AI Systems

The conversation around AI has shifted from whether to adopt the technology to how to make it economically viable at production scale. In previous articles, I’ve covered the strategic playbooks for AI adoption and evaluation frameworks that define success. However, a critical gap persists between successful pilots and sustainable production systems—a gap that costs organizationsContinue reading “Beyond the Lab: Performance Engineering for Production AI Systems”

A DeepMind veteran on the future of AI and quantum

Quantum computing has always felt just over the horizon, so I’ve only tracked its progress from a distance. But that horizon is suddenly much closer: prototype machines with around 100 logical qubits are already tackling niche but valuable AI workloads, and startups are racing toward the 1,000-qubit mark. Early pilots in areas like recommendation systems,Continue reading “A DeepMind veteran on the future of AI and quantum”

The Complete Guide to AI Evaluation

In the context of AI applications, “eval” means systematically assessing the quality, reliability, and business impact of AI-generated outputs—from text and code to complex agent decisions. In my recent AI playbook, I argued that a robust evaluation framework is not just a best practice but proprietary intellectual property that drives competitive advantage. Some readers requestedContinue reading “The Complete Guide to AI Evaluation”

Mid-2025 AI Update: What’s Actually Working in Enterprise

As we cross the midpoint of 2025, the conversation around AI is shifting from potential to practice. While the race to build the next frontier model dominates headlines, the more critical story is one of diffusion—how this technology is actually being woven into the fabric of business. As I recently noted, China is accelerating thisContinue reading “Mid-2025 AI Update: What’s Actually Working in Enterprise”
