Human in the Loop Testing: Where AI Ends and QA Judgment Begins

The question isn't whether to use AI in QA. It's knowing exactly where to keep a human in control. The core risk: Over 75% of multi-agent failures are silent semantic errors that pass automated checks but violate business logic — detectable only by human inspection (Cemri, Pan et al., NeurIPS 2025). The division of labor: AI owns repetitive generation and execution; humans own risk analysis, requirement interpretation, exploratory investigation, and final sign-off. The operational discipline.

Generative AI for QA: How SDET Workflows and Skills Are Changing

Generative AI for QA is the use of large language models to accelerate the creation and analysis of testing artifacts — drafting test cases, summarizing requirements, and generating synthetic test data. AI agents extend that capability into multi-step autonomous workflows that plan, delegate, and execute testing tasks across an entire delivery pipeline. For SDETs, the shift is not about learning to prompt more cleverly.

Temporal made execution durable. Ably makes sessions durable.

When Temporal launched, a lot of people had the same reaction: "We have queues and retries. We don't need this." (Temporal's own blog addressed this directly.) That reaction made sense. Queues solve queue problems and they do it well. What Temporal gave you was something different: a named execution context that survives a server restart and picks up from its last checkpoint. Not a better queue. A different abstraction entirely. If you built with it, you couldn't imagine going back.

Gallus Insights: From Dashboard Overload to Instant Answers

I had the distinct pleasure of hosting a Snowflake Summit ‘26 session with Agustin “Augie” Del Rio, CEO and Founder of Gallus Insights, an analytics platform tailored specifically for mortgage lenders. As we sat down to discuss the future of analytics, one core truth echoed throughout the room: the most ambitious AI goals live or die by the quality of the underlying data.

The Optimization Paradox

Even if you can see exactly what is wrong with your data platform. Why is none of it getting fixed? A 30-minute conversation on closing the gap between what your dashboards see and what your team can actually get done, across Databricks, Snowflake, and BigQuery. Why it matters Most data teams are not short on insight anymore. The dashboards are full. Cost reports flag cost overruns. Observability platforms catch infrastructure misallocations. New AI assistants will even draft query rewrites for you.

Logi Symphony: "No-Compromise Embedded Analytics

Every product team wants smarter analytics and AI. But for organizations that operate on-premises, in a hybrid-cloud environment, or regulated industries that can’t share protected data on the cloud, this forces them to either migrate or leave intelligence features behind. Can you access advanced analytics features without being boxed into a vendor’s cloud environment? Watch our video to learn: How to access analytics without compromise About tailored analytics experiences in a single platform.

Real Estate Operations Automation: From Manual Processes to Event-Driven Workflows

The biggest operational bottleneck in property management isn’t a lack of technology. It’s the manual coordination required between systems, teams, and processes. Leasing coordinators paste data from the PMS into email threads. Maintenance supervisors scan spreadsheets to find overdue work orders. Accounting teams wait for someone to confirm a deposit before posting. Owner reports get assembled the night before a call because nothing triggers them automatically.

Inside NERSC at Berkeley Lab: How a DOE Office of Science User Facility Is Exploring ClearML for Scientific AI Workflows

NERSC, the mission high-performance computing center for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, is using ClearML as part of the AI infrastructure stack for Perlmutter, the upcoming Doudna supercomputer, and the broader American Science Cloud. Here is a look at what they are exploring and why it matters for AI for science at scale.

Durable Execution meets Durable Sessions: Resilient AI Agents with Temporal and Ably

Most teams building agents with Temporal have solved the backend problem: crashed workflows restart, LLM call failures retry automatically, and long-running tasks complete reliably. What they haven't solved is the client side -- what happens to the stream when the user's connection drops, when they switch devices, or when two sub-agents are working concurrently and the client needs a single coherent view.
