#watsonx — Public Fediverse posts

Good morning from Boston! Jason Andersen and I break down the top news for #DevOps and #platformengineers at #IBMThink this week, including the general availability of the #IBM Bob #AI coding tool, a long-awaited tie-in with HashiCorp for #AIOps now in public preview and updates to the #Watsonx Orchestrate AI agent platform.

IBM adds AI features to the Masters Tournament app

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/03/ibm-ai-masters-app/

My latest: Dell Technologies jumps into the ring with NetApp and VAST Data, unveiling a new #AI #dataorchestration product built on its Dataloop acquisition, as NVIDIA #STX shakes up the #enterprisedatastorage industry.

Key quote: "The #cuDF and #cuVS integrations quietly showing up inside #Snowflake, #Starburst, #watsonx -- those matter more to an #enterpriseIT leader's next 12 months than anything Jensen [Huang] showed on the big stage."

Find out why that is, as well as how the Dell Data Orchestration Engine stacks up to competitors: https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/news/366640330/Dell-Data-Orchestration-Engine-joins-AI-data-pipeline-fray #GTC26 #Nvidia

Suzanne Livingston has worked at IBM for 19 years, most recently in the role of vice president overseeing product management for the #IBM #watsonx Orchestrate #AIagent platform. She says enterprises must strike a balance between #AIgovernance and trying to force every workload into one platform – or to be #agentic at all. Going forward, managing AI agents will require new kinds of human-to-AI and human-to-human collaboration, according to Livingston, that the industry is just learning about.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

-- Watsonx Orchestrate support for third-party AI agents

-- Unsolved #AIsecurity problems

-- How IBM customers are approaching AI governance

-- AI's influence on the future of work

and more!

AI [probably referring to a LLM] is not trained by professionals or a single end user, because it requires such huge amounts of input training data...

You are correct and you are incorrect.

From scratch finding data for pattern matching is tough and requires high performance engines, trade-offs, and money. But we stand on the backs of giants.

There are trained ethical LLMs, certified to be so and deep pockets to back the assertion and the necessary curation. They are not necessarily free. From those seeds AIs can be built to do the things of which I speak.

If IBM can do it (and they do; having gone to the training and hard sell, I know), Apple Intelligence could be built and use Apple engines as infrastructure. Big Blue's giant Z mainframes, which are blades in pretty artwork boxed server racks, are performant due to their custom chips, virtual system management, tuned I/O structure, and multitasking software. Apple chips are performant, custom, and cheaper for the end user. Apple Intelligence is likely Apple's WatsonX App-Killer that'll make the difference, and most certainly runs on Apple hardware increasingly running on renewables.

My point isn't so much building LLMs from scratch, but applications built on a platform and then trained from private user data and via user curation. If I implied otherwise, I wasn't clear. Sorry.

I assume Apple's LLMs are ethical. I also assume that Apple is exposing AI APIs for use by developers.

Второе пришествие мейнфреймов. Всё больше компаний хотят запускать ИИ у себя в офисе

Мейнфрейм IBM z16 во время лабораторных тестов в 2022 г, источник Приложения ИИ находят применение в бизнесе. Но есть проблема: корпоративные данные и документация представляют коммерческую тайну. Их нельзя передавать на сторону, тем более в облачную систему машинного обучения. Кроме того, что сама передача небезопасна, так ещё и публичная модель будет обучаться на наших секретах , а потом помогать конкурентам. В общем, у коммерческих компаний остаётся один вариант: поднимать собственный сервер или вычислительный кластер с ИИ. Таким образом, из эпохи облачных вычислений мы возвращаемся к старому доброму самохостингу, только сейчас это самохостинг GPU , серверы и мейнфреймы.

“Architecture” of #IBM’s #watsonx platform.

No idea what this should tell me about watsonx…

Using AI to write computer code sounds like an extremely bad idea.

The mpt-7b-instruct2 model is deprecated.
Replaced by mixtral-8x7b-instruct-v01-q

Supported natural languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish

It only uses 13 billion active parameters for inferencing, which reduces costs and latency.

I appreciate the opportunity given by the DevRel team at @Equinix to present my ideas on #ai and #watsonx at #kubecon.

I had a great time with @crayzeigh discussing things around AI, and what we can actually do with it.

At #kubecon I had the opportunity to speak about #ai and #watsonx with #dell and @nimbinatus. It was a great time, and we might actually be working on that podcast/panel already for 2024!
If you have thoughts or questions, don't hesitate to ask!

For #FoundationModels this means:

- Drawing up technical documentation
- Complying with EU copyright law
- Disseminating detailed summaries about training content.
- Conducting model evaluations
- Assessing and mitigating systemic risks
- Conducting adversarial training
- Reporting on energy efficiency
- Reporting to the European Commission on serious incidents

Can be done with help of systems like #watsonx governance.

Thanks to @Equinix for the chance at #kubecon for me to talk about #ai and #watsonx!

I had a great time with @crayzeigh discussing these challenges, hopefully, yall will learn something by watching us talk!

(I'm here to help however I can, never hesitate to reach out too :) )

An alarmingly large portion of the world's business and finance systems run on #COBOL, and only a small community of programmers know it. #IBM thinks #Watson can help, but it's not guaranteed. https://www.pcmag.com/articles/ibms-plan-to-update-cobol-with-watson #LLM #watsonx #zeitgeist

I was on the Cloud Native Compass with @nimbinatus and @Rawkode, discussing Trust and AI. 

We spoke about #watsonx and @IBM's positions on how Developers can leverage the trusted AI solution.

Take a listen!

I had a great time on the Cloud Native Compass with @nimbinatus and @david Flanagan, talking about Trust and AI.

We discussed #watsonx and @IBM's positions on how Developers can leverage the trusted AI solution to make the applications they need.

Take a listen, and I'd love to hear what you think!

I think #IBM made a mistake because my first thought was, "Is that related to Elon's bullshit?"
