DATASTAX TO LAUNCH NEW HYPER-CONVERGED DATA PLATFORM

May 15, 2024 / NewsShark

DataStax announced the upcoming launch of DataStax HCDP (Hyper-Converged Data
Platform), in addition to the upcoming release of DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6.9.
Both products enable customers to add generative AI and vector search
capabilities to their self-managed, enterprise data workloads. DataStax HCDP is
designed for modern data centers and Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) to
support the breadth of data workloads and AI systems. It supports on-premises
enterprise data systems built to AI-enable data and is designed for enterprise
operators and architects.

The combination of OpenSearch’s Enterprise Search capabilities, with the
high-performance vector search capabilities of the DataStax cloud-native, NoSQL
Hyper-Converged Database, enables users to speed RAG and knowledge retrieval
applications into production.

Hyper-converged streaming (HCS) built with Apache Pulsar is designed to provide
data communications for a modern infrastructure. With native support of inline
data processing and embedding, HCS brings vector data to the edge, allowing for
faster response times and enabling event data for better contextual generative
AI experiences.

HCDP provides rapid provisioning and data APIs built around the DataStax
one-stop GenAI stack for enterprise retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and
it’s all built on the open-source Apache Cassandra platform.

ELASTIC ANNOUNCED SEARCH AI LAKE TO SCALE LOW LATENCY SEARCH

May 15, 2024 / NewsShark

Elastic, a Search AI company, today announced Search AI Lake, a cloud-native
architecture optimized for real-time, low-latency applications including search,
retrieval augmented generation (RAG), observability and security. The Search AI
Lake also powers the new Elastic Cloud Serverless offering. All operations, from
monitoring and backup to configuration and sizing, are managed by Elastic –
users just bring their data and choose Elasticsearch, Elastic Observability, or
Elastic Security on Serverless. Benefits include:

 * Fully decoupling storage and compute enables scalability and reliability
   using object storage, dynamic caching supports high throughput, frequent
   updates, and interactive querying of large data volumes.
 * Multiple enhancements maintain query performance even when the data is safely
   persisted on object stores.
 * By separating indexing and search at a low level, the platform can
   automatically scale to meet the needs of a wide range of workloads.
 * Users can leverage a native suite of AI relevance, retrieval, and reranking
   capabilities, including a native vector database integrated into Lucene, open
   inference APIs, semantic search, and first- and third-party transformer
   models, which work with the array of search functionalities.
 * Elasticsearch’s query language, ES|QL, is built in to transform, enrich, and
   simplify investigations with fast concurrent processing irrespective of data
   source and structure.

FLATFILE UNVEILS NEW AI-POWERED DATA TRANSFORMATION FEATURES 

May 14, 2024 / NewsShark

Flatfile, a data exchange platform, announced their Spring 2024 release with new
AI-powered data transformation and data migration capabilities for business
users, data analysts and systems integration teams as well as improved tooling
and extensions for data exchange solution developers. The Flatfile Data Exchange
Platform provides software development teams with an efficient and easy way to

   language how they’d like to change their data and preview all potential
   changes in a convenient before-and-after view. This new co-pilot
   significantly simplifies and accelerates the cleanup and validation of
   enterprise data.
 * The new “Shared Views” feature, powered by the advanced filtering and
   querying capabilities of Flatfile workbooks, allows data migration teams to
   collaborate on the same data set while dynamically sharing precise data
   slices with relevant team members.
 * The new dashboard introduces a selection of pre-built apps, offering
   developers a streamlined approach to customizing their Flatfile experience.
   These apps support common use cases, such as embedded data importers or
   collaborative data onboarding projects.

SOUNDHOUND AI AND PERPLEXITY PARTNER

May 9, 2024 / NewsShark

SoundHound AI, Inc., a voice artificial intelligence vendor, announced it has
partnered with Perplexity, the conversational AI-powered answer engine. Together
they will bring Perplexity’s online LLM capabilities to SoundHound Chat AI – a
voice assistant that utilizes hundreds of real-time domains, as well as
generative AI responses. The SoundHound Chat AI assistant will leverage
Perplexity to provide accurate, up-to-date responses to web-based queries that
static LLMs cannot currently answer – expanding the type and complexity of the
questions the assistant is able to handle.

For example, a user can ask a question like: “How does the price of gas this
week compare to last week?” and the response will combine accurate, live
information on gas prices with a comprehensive generative AI-style explanation
that provides further context. The user can then follow-up with, “Navigate to
the nearest gas station,” which uses SoundHound’s technology to seamlessly
incorporate data from the appropriate sources and integrate with the navigation
software of a device such as a car or a phone.

The assistant also utilizes a specially developed arbitration technology that
uses a combination of software engineering and machine learning to intelligently
select the more appropriate response, helping to minimize harmful “AI
hallucinations.”

 * The Acrobat AI Assistant only looks at the information presented in the
   document and no other external sources such as the web, email or stored
   content in other locations are referenced.
 * Adobe’s custom attribution engine and proprietary AI generates citations so
   users can easily verify the source of answers from within the user-provided
   documents.
 * The AI Assistant responses are for individual consumption only. Even
   responses on shared documents on web are only accessible to that user.
 * User content, prompts, and responses are encrypted in transit. At rest, data
   stored by the Acrobat Generative AI Service is encrypted using SHA-256.

ACQUIA SUPPORTS LATEST CONTENT ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES

May 1, 2024 / NewsShark

Acquia, a digital experience software vendor , today announced that its Monsido
web optimization platform offers support for WCAG 2.2, the latest web content
accessibility guidelines recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Using the Accessibility Module in Monsido, customers can automatically scan
their websites, obtain an accessibility score, and receive actionable
