Databricks Is The Next Big Thing For Indian Enterprise AI
Databricks set foot on Indian soil back in 2017. Since then, the company has grown at a brisk pace while attracting a talented pool of data specialists. Today, the company’s data teams support 5,000+ global customers.
Databricks’ rise in popularity also coincides with India’s rapid pace of digital transition. India started out as a testbed for outsourcing and backend services for global companies is now quickly moving to be the centre for startups, fintech, and software development. These new-age startups and data-rich legacy organisations need tools that allow them to tap into the data they have at hand. Databricks’ custom made lakehouse and other ML tools are the right fit for any such use cases.

Intel Enters GPU Market. Is It Late To The Party?
Intel recently announced Intel Arc, its upcoming consumer graphics product. This brand will cover hardware, software, and services. Under Arc, Intel introduced its first generation of GPUs based on the Xe HPG microarchitecture. Formerly called DG2, it is now code-named Alchemist.
With Alchemist, Intel is attempting to break into a pre-crowded market. Experts believe that Intel attempts to rival NVIDIA and AMD and that Arc will be less capable at raytracing due to having lower ray tracing units than the competition; however, Intel’s AI assistance in supersampling technologies could give AMD and Nvidia some competition.

Why Should We Care About AI-Generated Music?
In the near future, it would be likely that AI could compose structured music from scratch, but the question here is whether AI models for music generation will be used to compose entire musical pieces from scratch or whether these models would be more useful as an aid to composers, and thus, as an interaction between humans and AI.
