BigQuery DataFrames 2.0 brings multimodal data processing and AI into your BigQuery Python workflows, and enables larger Pythonic data science.

The retail industry has been shaped and fundamentally transformed by disruptive technologies in the past decade. From AI assisted customer service experiences to advanced robotics in operations, retailers are pursuing new technologies to address margin strains and rising customer expectations.

Collaboration across IT is increasingly critical to having a smooth and effective software release cadence. As software complexity grows, it becomes more difficult for individual team members to have a thorough understanding of all the different elements that comprise a successful software application.

Two years after Seagate first shared their AI and MLOps success story, the data storage leader is now revealing how far they've come since then. In this blog post, you’ll see how the team manages thousands of AI models in production with only a few team members. This is thanks to their AI factory, whichdoes the heavy lifting of automated processes like monitoring, testing, mocking and more.

At Ably's February fan engagement event, Sam Renouf, CEO of the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), captured the essence of impactful fan engagement with an observation about motorsports: Sam's insight points to a transformation across sports, and fan experiences more generally: that effective engagement now depends on meaningful realtime data storytelling.

QA automation means turning manual test steps into code so they can run faster, more consistently, and at scale. Instead of executing the same test cases over and over, testers write scripts that do the work for them. These scripts validate core functionality, trigger workflows, and report pass/fail status automatically. We'll show you how to do it in this article, in-depth.

Agile and DevOps changed how we build software. Fast feedback, continuous delivery, and constant iteration are the new normal. But the faster you move, the more you risk breaking things—especially if your testing can’t keep up. That’s where test automation comes in. Not as a silver bullet, but as a strategic foundation for scaling quality at speed.

Choosing the right storage format is crucial for optimizing performance, cost, and flexibility when working with cloud data. While file formats like Apache Parquet and Avro have been popular choices for storing data in data lakes, in recent years a new category called table formats has emerged to provide more management capabilities on top of these files. Among these, Apache Iceberg has been gaining significant adoption and momentum. So what exactly is Iceberg and why does it matter? Let’s dive in.

Large language models are under threat from a tactic called LLM grooming, where bad actors flood public data sources with biased or misleading content to influence AI training behind the scenes. Hemraj Bedassee , Senior Solutions Manager, AI Testing,

Not long ago, I wrote about a growing problem in enterprise AI: agents that don’t talk to each other. You’ve got a customer relationship management (CRM) agent doing its thing, a data warehouse agent crunching numbers, a knowledge bot quietly surfacing documents—but none of them are sharing what they know. Instead of a smart, connected ecosystem, we’re stuck with isolated pockets of intelligence: an island of agents.
