As organizations adopt #AI services they introduce new challenges around cost management! Some are the same as any new #cloud architecture, but some are unique to AI such as metrics like cost-per-token. This paper from @FinOpsFdn helps: https://t.co/TKtIxN6ff9 #FinOps

Beginning to understand how people in IT with the names 'Claude' and 'Alexa' have been feeling as they read documentation of their name-sake services... Don't get me wrong, I think @Docker have chosen an excellent name for their new #AI agent! #Gordon https://t.co/N77jY3eY8P

Booked in for the #Azure #AI Fundamentals exam shortly, so brushing up using some Microsoft learning content. Not sure how to take the example used in the Responsible Generative AI section on content filters...🤔 #Scottish #GenAI

#Apple Intelligence, running on their new Private #Cloud Compute platform, promises much better #AI privacy and #security, while counter-intuitively also offering an ability to audit it! This interesting article details how it actually works:

Private Cloud Compute is an entirely new kind of infrastructure that, Apple’s Craig Federighi tells WIRED, allows your personal data to be “hermetically sealed inside of a privacy bubble.”
