“Reflecting our focus on the balance between powerful and practical, the new IBM Granite 3.0 models deliver state-of-the-art performance relative to model size while maximizing safety, speed and cost-efficiency for enterprise use cases,” IBM wrote in a blog post . “Trained using a novel two-phase method on over 12 trillion tokens of carefully vetted data across 12 different natural languages and 116 different programming languages, the developer-friendly Granite 3.0 8B Instruct is a workhorse enterprise model intended to serve as a primary building block for sophisticated workflows and tool-based use cases,” IBM wrote.

Released under the Apache 2.0 license, Granite 3.0 open-source models are designed for enterprise clients, delivering tasks including Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), classification, summarisation, entity extraction, and tool use. Additionally, IBM has introduced an upgraded variant of its pre-trained Granite time-series models, the first versions of which were released earlier this year, aiming to offer higher performance.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IBM Corporation was named the winner of the AFP 2024 Pinnacle Awards Grand Prize for excellence in treasury and finance. The Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) annually recognizes the leading treasury and finance groups for innovation, collaboration and results.

According to Reuters, Dario Gil, IBM’s director of research, says that the new Granite models were trained using AI chip leader Nvidia’s H100 graphics processor units (GPUs). Nvidia, a leading manufacturer of graphics processing units (GPUs) and other computer hardware, has become a key player in the AI industry due to the computational power its products provide for AI model training and deployment.

In this video, we show how to use the new Toolkit features in IBM App Connect Enterprise version 13. Using the new menu options we create a credential and update the credential through the Toolkit.Also, we show how to start the integration servers using the new terminals that are available in the Toolkit and show how the flow is able to use the credential without needing a flow restart.

In this video, we demonstrate a new capability in the IBM App Connect Enterprise 13 Toolkit which allows you to manage credentials. We explore 4 scenarios;1 – Managing credentials using an external directory vault.2 – Managing credentials in a local Integration Server vault.3 – Managing credentials in a remote Integration Server vault.4 – Managing credentials in a node-owned Integration Server vault.For more information about the new features added to IBM App Connect Enterprise 13, visit the IBM Documentation http://ibmurl.hursley.ibm.com/PWCU

Java is important in the enterprise, and getting more important, and IBM wants to help make managing and using Java easier. At this time last year, there were 26.3 million application developers in the world, and according to CodeNinja, about 20 million of them were reasonably fluent in JavaScript, nearly double the number six years ago. (We are not sure if CodeNinja is counting Node.js as a variant of JavaScript, as it probably should.) Java, a much older cross-platform language and the lingua franca of business logic in the enterprise, is not as large but is seeing a bit … The post IBM Working On Making Enterprise Java Easier appeared first on IT Jungle.

“[The new Manhattan office] is a strategically timed co-location strategy that was really focused on creating a clear call to their purpose as an organization, a call to action as individuals and a call to innovation with their clients,” Amanda Carroll, managing director at Gensler and the design lead for this new space, told Newsweek in a phone interview earlier this month. Armonk remains the HQ, but a new gathering spot now exists for IBM employees, clients and guests in the heart of Manhattan, aiming to consolidate the company’s presence in the city from about a dozen different locations, many of which resulted from a slew of acquisitions made by IBM over the past few years.
