Introduction Open source is evolving faster than ever, touching everything from AI policy to quantum computing. This week, we see a heated debate over what ‘open source’ really means in AI, geopolitical moves to harness open models, and a treasure trove of obscure apps that deserve your attention. Let’s dive into the stories shaping the … Read more
Open source AI is at a critical juncture. The recent surge in AI capabilities has exposed a glaring inefficiency: developers spend too much time rewriting and debugging code to run on diverse hardware, stifling innovation. In response, the PyTorch Conference North America is spotlighting a new open software platform for heterogeneous compute, powered by Mojo … Read more
New chips are shipping faster than ever before, but the ecosystem is being held back by having to rewrite and then re-debug the same code over and over again.
Chris Lattner, CEO and Co-founder, Modular and Executive Vice President of Advanced AI Software and Platforms, Qualcomm, will deliver a keynote at PyTorch Conference North America about an open software platform for heterogeneous compute powered by Mojo and MAX.
PyTorch has always been the place where the best models come together, and now there’s a way to get those models onto all kinds of hardware.

Cable powers AI data centers, EV charging networks, and renewable energy projects. See how SAP helps cable manufacturers plan smarter.
Join host Simon Shores with SAP experts Mark Roepers, Stefan Weisenberger, and Chris Glander, plus Sandeep Mondkar, Partner at My Supply Chain Group (MSCG), part of NTT DATA, for a practical Expert Talk on the operational realities of cable and long products manufacturing.
Cable manufacturers face planning and pricing challenges that standard ERP systems were not built to handle: length-based materials, scrap minimization, real-time order promising, metal price volatility, and commodity pricing tied to exchanges such as LME and COMEX. This episode explores how SAP S/4HANA supports cable-specific requirements with embedded planning, advanced available-to-promise, PP/DS, commodity pricing, and a roadmap toward more autonomous, agentic supply chain planning.
In this Expert Talk, you’ll:
✔️ Learn why length-based planning can challenge traditional ERP—and how SAP Long Products Planning helps address it.
✔️ See a live demo of length-based aATP and MRP in SAP S/4HANA, including scrap minimization and real-time order promising.
✔️ Understand how SAP supports commodity pricing tied to LME and COMEX, including hedging and mark-to-market scenarios.
✔️ Hear how Prysmian, an SAP Innovation Award 2026 winner, achieved 70–80%+ efficiency gains with SAP Cloud ERP.
✔️ Get a partner perspective from MSCG, part of NTT DATA, on moving from SAP APO to embedded PP/DS and aATP architecture.
✔️ Discover what’s next for autonomous commodity management and agentic AI in supply chain planning.
Whether you work in cable, metals, long products, manufacturing, supply chain planning, or commodity-based industries, this discussion shows how SAP helps connect planning, pricing, execution, and business data in one integrated ERP foundation.
