    01:46 What Salesforce’s $8B acquisition of Informatica means for enterprise data and AI | VentureBeat

    • Salesforce just dropped $8 billion to acquire Informatica.
    • This purchase was really about building the data foundation needed for agentic AI to actually work in enterprise environments – we’re talking about combining Informatica’s 30 years of data management expertise with Salesforce’s cloud platform to create what they’re calling a “unified architecture for agentic AI.”
    • This acquisition fills a massive gap in Salesforce’s data management capabilities, bringing in critical pieces like data cataloging, integration, governance, quality controls, and master data management – all the unsexy but absolutely essential plumbing that makes AI agents trustworthy and scalable in real enterprise deployments.
    • The timing here is fascinating, because Informatica literally just announced their own agentic AI offerings last week at Informatica World, so Salesforce is essentially buying a company that’s already pivoted hard into the AI space – rather than trying to build these capabilities from scratch.
    • There’s going to be some interesting overlap with MuleSoft, which Salesforce bought for $6.5 billion back in 2018, but analysts are saying Informatica’s data management capabilities are more comprehensive and updated – this could mean some consolidation challenges ahead as they figure out how to integrate these overlapping technologies.
    • For enterprise customers, this could be a game-changer because it promises to automate those painful, time-consuming data processes that typically take days or weeks. These AI agents can handle data ingestion, in...

Maybe they’ll actually follow instructions when told to shut down? (Looking at you, ChatGPT.)Claude Opus 4 is “the world’s best coding model” with sustained performance on complex, long-running tasks and agent workflows. Opus 4 has 350 billion parameters, making it one of the largest publicly available language models. It demonstrates strong performance on academic benchmarks, including research. Sonnet 4 is a smaller 10 billion parameter model optimized for dialogue, making it well-suited for conversational AI applications. Alongside the models, they are also announcing: Extended thinking with tool use (beta): Both models can use tools – like web search – during extended thinking, allowing Claude to alternate between reasoning and tool use to improve its responses.New Model Capabilities: Both models can use tools in parallel, follow instructions more precisely, and when given access to local files by developers — demonstrate significantly improved memory capabilities, extracting and saving key facts maintain continuity and build tacit knowledge over timeClaude code is now generally available: After receiving extensive positive feedback during our research preview, they are expanding how developers can collaborate with Claude. Claude code now supports background tasks via github actions and native integrations with VS code and jetbrains, displaying edits directly in your files for seamless pair programming.

It goes beyond AI coding assistants to operate independently.It clones code into a secure Google Cloud VM, allowing it to understand the full context of a project. This enables it to write tests, build features, fix bugs, and more.Jules operates asynchronously in the background, presenting its plan and reasoning when complete. This allows developers to focus on other tasks while it works.Integration with GitHub enables Jules to work directly in existing workflows without extra setup or context switching. Developers can steer and give feedback throughout the process.For cloud developers, Jules demonstrates the rapid advancement of AI for coding moving from prototype to product. Its cloud-based parallel execution enables efficient handling of complex, multi-file changes.While in public beta, Jules is free with some usage limits.

    304: It’s Chile Up Here in The Cloud!
    May 22 2025
    Welcome to episode 304 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Ryan and Matt are in the house tonight to bring you all the latest and greatest in Cloud and AI news, including AWS new Chilean region, the ongoing tug of war between Open AI and Microsoft, and even some K8 updates – plus an aftershow. Let’s get started! Titles we almost went with this week: Open AI gets a COO deliveredThings get Chile with new regionsObservability and AI, I Q-uestion the logicCloud Pod tries to Microsoft Build predictionsK8 resizes pods on the flyMicrosoft strongly reinforces the AI FoundryThe Cloud Pod renegotiates the hosts’ contracts … we now have to pay the Cloud Pod to be on it Follow Up 01:53 DOJ’s extreme proposals will hurt consumers and America’s tech leadership We previously talked about the DOJ and Google Antitrust lawsuit – and now the DOJ has wrapped up their remedies hearing, and Google has *not* been quiet about it.One of the claims is that the remedies would hurt browser choice, putting browsers like Firefox out of business completely. Google also claimed that data disclosure mandates would threaten user’s privacy – it would be MUCH safer if they could just sell it to you via their marketplace. We do agree that divesting Chrome would make things more complicated for people living in the Google Cloud. Really, what comes down to is that Google claims DOJ’s solutions are the wrong solutions – although to us, Google’s solutions aren’t much better.

    303: Someday You Will Find Me, Caught Beneath the AI Landslide, in a Champagne Premier Nova in The Sky
    May 18 2025
    Welcome to episode 303 of The Cloud Pod – where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Ryan and exhausted dad Matt are here (and mostly awake) ready to bring the latest in cloud news! This week we’ve got more news from Nova, updates to Claude, earnings news, and a mini funeral for Skype – plus a new helping of Cloud Journey! Titles we almost went with this week: Claude researches so Ryan can napThe best AI for Nova Corps, Amazon Nova Premiere JBIf you can’t beat them, change the licensing terms and make them fork, and then reverse course… and profitQ has invaded your IDE!!Skype bites the dust A big thanks to this week’s sponsor: We’re sponsorless!

Follow Up 02:50 Sycophancy in GPT-4o: What happened and what we’re doing about it OpenAI wrote up a blog post about their sycophantic Chat GPT 4o upgrade last week, and they wanted to set the record straight. They made adjustments at improving the models default personality to make it feel more intuitive and effective across a variety of tasks. When shaping model behavior, they start with a baseline principle and instructions outlined in their model spec. They also teach their models how to apply these principles by incorporating user signals like thumbs up and thumbs down feedback on responses. In this update, though, they focused too much on short-term feedback and did not fully account for how users’ interactions with ChatGPT evolve. This skewed the results towards responses that were overly supportive – but disingenuous. Beyond rolling back the changes, they are taking steps to realign the model behavior, including refining core training techniques and system prompts to explicitly steer the model away from sycophancy. They also plan to build more guardrails to increase honesty and transparency principles in the model spec.Additionally, they plan to expand ways for users to test and give direct feedback before deployments.Lastly, OpenAI continues to expand evaluations building on the model sync and our ongoing research. 04:43 Deep Research on Microsoft Hotpatching: Yes, they’re grabbing money and screwing you.

General News 01:37 Sharing new DORA research for gen AI in software development The DORA team at Google has released a new report, “Impact of Generative AI In Software Development.” The report is based on data and developer interviews, and the report aims to move beyond hype to offer a proper perspective on AI’s impact on individuals, teams and organizations. Click on the link in our show notes to access the full report. However, Google has highlighted a few key points in the blog post.AI is Real – A staggering 89% of organizations are prioritizing the integration of AI into their applications, and 76% of technologists are already using AI in some part of their daily work. Productivity gains confirmed: Developers using Gen AI report significant increases in flow, productivity, and job satisfaction. For instance, a 25% increase in AI adoption is associated with a 2.1% increase in individual productivity.Organization benefits are tangible: Beyond individual gains, Dora found strong correlations between AI adoption and improvements in crucial organizational metrics. A 25% increase in AI adoption is associated with increases in document quality, code quality, code review speeds and approval speeds. If you are looking to utilize AI in your development organization, they provide five practical approaches for both leaders and practitioners. Have transparent communicationsEmpower developers with learning and experimentationEstablish clear policiesRethink performance metricsEmbrace fast feedback loops 045:06 Ryan – “Those are really good approaches, but really difficult to implement in practice. You know, in my day job, watching the company struggle to get a handle on AI from all the different angles you need to, from data protection, legal liability – just operationally – it’s very hard. So I think having a mature program where you’re rolling that out with intent and being very specific with your AI tasks I think will go a long way with a lot of companies.” AI Is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Its Money 08...
