AI-powered medical record intelligence helps healthcare organizations turn unstructured clinical documents into actionable insights, reducing administrative burden and enabling faster, more consistent review decisions. The post Optimizing clinical and operational resources through AI-driven medical record intelligence appeared first on SAS Blogs.

PagedAttention vs. RadixAttention: Optimizing LLM KV Cache Management

Rick W 0 0
Modern LLMs rely on quantization, pruning, distillation, and faster attention kernels, but production performance often depends most on KV cache management. As context windows grow, the cache consumes significant GPU memory, limiting concurrency, throughput, and latency. Two breakthroughs transformed this challenge: PagedAttention improves memory allocation, while RadixAttention enables...

Debates over AI consciousness are a trap

Rick W 0 1
“Runaway” AI, “rogue” agents, and “autonomous” actors—the current rhetoric would have you believe that AI agents are not only awake and aware, but angry at their creators. Prominent tech leaders such as Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman push for regulation of these seemingly “superhuman” systems, while a separate faction, led by policy organizations…

Unlocking hidden revenue streams with market models

Each day, an airline transports tens of thousands of passengers on hundreds of flights. Often these are not straightforward point-to-point routes, with passengers requiring multiple connections. The airline can consider potentially hundreds of variables to price each of these journeys: demand, season, time of day, current events, global markets, and competitor airline activity to name…

AI’s recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all

Rick W 0 0
The AI industry’s boldest promise right now is that AI will soon improve itself, with almost no need for human oversight. LLMs can already write code, generate synthetic data for training, and optimize the computer chips they run on. Forecasts of explosive AI progress predict that what researchers call recursive self-improvement is on the horizon. …

How Leaders Build for the Next Era of Compute - with Sam Grove of MIPS

Rick W 0 0
Consolidating hardware into fewer, more capable chips looks like an unambiguous win — until the complexity those separate components used to handle resurfaces in the software binding everything back together.   In this episode, Sam Grove, Head of Software and Tools Business at MIPS, examines why hardware and software teams can't keep building in sequence, and why MIPS bet its...

The AI Semantic Layer You Probably Already Have

Rick W 0 5
If your organization uses Power BI, you own something most companies chasing AI are desperately trying to build. You just may not know it by name. Let me explain. The invisible thing behind every report Every Power BI report you have ever opened sits on top of a semantic model. Every single one. No exceptions. The report is the visible part; the semantic model is the machinery...

Edit your Power BI projects anywhere and reload them instantly in Power BI Desktop (Preview)

Rick W 0 4
Power BI Projects (PBIP) make reports and semantic models file-based, enabling source control, automation, and other developer workflows. You can edit those files directly in a code editor or through external tools. Until now, changes made outside of Power BI Desktop wouldn't appear until you restarted the application. With this update, Power BI Desktop detects those changes automatically,...
