In AI, the how is just as important as the what. Sigli’s approach was recently featured in Dutch IT Channel article, highlighting the difference thoughtful innovation makes. Rather than chasing trends, Sigli focuses on guiding clients to use AI as a practical tool — never a shortcut or magic solution. As Artem Pochechuiev shared, “Machine Learning is not yet Machine Intelligence.” That’s why every project starts with honest conversations and a commitment to real value, not hype. Sigli's proud to see this philosophy recognized. Read the article (page 20-21) : https://lnkd.in/eScnQvwe #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalTransformation #Sigli

That is wasted budget that could fund innovation. At the same time, current downscaling methods create performance issues. Together with Utrecht University, SUE | Cloud Native Solutions developed an AI-driven vertical scaling approach that predicts performance degradation before it happesn and adjusts resources automatically in real time. The result: no out-of-memory errors, significantly less CPU throttling, and better use of your cloud budget, without impacting performance.

Innovation without losing control of IT spend? The answer lies in transparency and collaboration. By connecting finance and IT, leaders gain the insights they need to align technology investments with business goals. With Technology Business Management (#TBM), organizations can see where value is created, identify inefficiencies, and manage risks proactively. #IBM #Apptio #TBM #AITransformation #CIO #DigitalStrategy #FinOps #ITLeadership

✍️💻🎥🎶 Text. Code. Vision. Intelligence. — Generative AI at Scale Engineering Autonomous, Adaptive, and Cognitive Systems. Many organizations experiment with Generative AI. At YaanAI, we industrialize it—securely, responsibly, and in production. We combine deep domain intelligence with open, composable AI architectures to transform how systems reason, plan, simulate, and act. 🚀 Generative AI | From Creativity to System-Level Execution 🧠 Domain-Tuned Language Intelligence Open-weight LLMs, RAG, and knowledge graphs → Context-aware reasoning grounded in operational data → AI copilots for planners, engineers, operators, and leaders 🧩 Code, Architecture & Automation Copilots AI-assisted system design and modernization → Code generation, refactoring, testing, and documentation → Infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, MLOps, and agent pipelines 🎥 Vision, Simulation & Generative Media Synthetic images, video, and spatial data → Training perception models without sensitive data → Scenario simulation, quality intelligence, and safety modeling 🎙️ Voice & Conversational Intelligence Speech-to-text, neural TTS, and multilingual agents → Hands-free human–AI interaction in physical environments → Real-time alerts, exception handling, and decision support 🧪 Synthetic Data, Fine-Tuning & Alignment Privacy-preserving, high-fidelity data generation → Model specialization using adapters and lightweight tuning → Continual learning and evaluation pipelines 🌐 The YaanAI Open Intelligence Stack 🤖 Agentic AI & Autonomous Systems Multi-agent orchestration with human-in-the-loop control → Planning, execution, self-correction, and coordination → Event-driven, goal-oriented workflows 🌍 Cloud-Native, Edge-Aware & IoT Intelligence Real-time inference where data is generated → Low-latency, resilient, distributed AI systems → Stream processing and edge deployment patterns 🔗 Causal AI, Graph Intelligence & Advanced Analytics Understanding why, not just what → Root-cause analysis, dependency modeling, and prediction → Graph-driven reasoning across complex systems 🛡️ AI Governance, Risk & Responsible AI Trust built into the architecture → Model observability, auditability, and bias mitigation → Policy-aware AI for regulated and high-impact domains 🕶️ AR / VR / XR & Spatial Computing Immersive intelligence for human–machine collaboration → Digital environments for training, planning, and simulation → AI-assisted decision-making in 3D contexts 💎 Why YaanAI? Because modern AI systems must be: 🧠 Domain-first, not model-first 🧩 Composable, not locked-in 🤖 Autonomous, yet governed 📈 Scalable from prototype to production 🌱 Sustainable, responsible, and future-ready 🌟 Generative AI is no longer a feature—it’s the cognitive layer of modern systems. At YaanAI, we build AI that reasons, learns, and collaborates with humans across digital and physical worlds. 🚀 Let’s architect what’s next. #GenerativeAI #OpenSourceAI #AgenticAI #IndustrialAI #SyntheticData #DigitalTwin #YaanAI

2026: The year AI moves from experimentation to impact In my interview with Telegraaf, I explain my vision of Microsoft's role in the Netherlands. In a market where data sovereignty and transparency are central, I see how Dutch organizations are making the step from AI pilot projects to concrete applications that have a real impact on their business operations. The digital economy requires reliable infrastructure and responsible use of AI. I believe that the Netherlands can and must continue to do this – not only for this generation, but also for the next. Transparency, speed and cooperation are essential in this regard. 👉 Read the full article to learn more about how we at Microsoft are working with customers and partners to build a future where technology and trust go hand in hand: https://lnkd.in/eS28bJEg    #AIInnovation #MakingimpactinNL

What do ASML, Philips, PSV, and Rancher have in common? Exactly Eindhoven! Lately, the municipality of Eindhoven has taken a big step forward in how it delivers digital services. Together with Fundaments - Expert in Private Clouds, they built a new cloud platform that speeds up development and keeps all citizen data safely in the Netherlands. The result? ✅ Services delivered up to 6× faster ✅ 3× faster development cycles ✅ Full compliance with Dutch data standards As Larik-Jan Verschuren-Parchomov, CTO at Fundaments, says: “Rolling out Kubernetes clusters is not inherently complicated. The real challenge is managing and protecting those clusters at speed, scale and in compliance with stringent data protection regulations. That’s why SUSE Rancher Suite is so valuable. SUSE offers the full ecosystem of solutions we need to deliver on digital sovereignty requirements for Eindhoven and other Dutch municipalities.” A great example of technology serving citizens, and extra proud that this is happening in the Netherlands, it is always easy at birthday parties to come up with a concrete example. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ezZsx4uS

The devil is the the details on this Quantum Monday. More insight from our fireside chat last week with David Awschalom. Who would have postulated that larger environments would lend themselves to better error correction not just "at scale" but potentially because of it? More to come. #buildingquantumtogether #Qblox
