Author(s): Carlos Eduardo Favini Originally published on Towards AI. By Carlos Eduardo Favini Industrial AI — Image by Author 1. The Semantic Ceiling: Why Industrial AI Stalls After two decades of investment, roughly 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to scale beyond pilot stages (McKinsey, 2023). Industry 4.0 delivered connectivity — sensors, networks, data lakes — but not cognition. The result: dashboards that monitor but don’t decide, models that predict but don’t understand, and automation that breaks when […]

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment as much as possible and stay far away from humans for safety reasons, this arm senses subtle forces, stretching and flexing in ways that mimic more of the compliance of a human hand. Its every motion is calculated to […]
As AI systems begin handling more complex, multi-stage tasks, understanding agentic design is becoming essential. This article outlines seven practical steps to build reliable, effective AI agents.
Zhipu AI has open sourced the GLM-4.6V series as a pair of vision language models that treat images, video and tools as first class inputs for agents, not as afterthoughts bolted on top of text. Model lineup and context length The series has 2 models. GLM-4.6V is a 106B parameter foundation model for cloud and high performance cluster workloads. GLM-4.6V-Flash is a 9B parameter variant tuned for local deployment and low latency use. GLM-4.6V extends the training context […]
Reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) is a topic familiar to all enterprise executives and stakeholders. Here, I discuss optimization strategies in the context of AI adoption. Whether you build in-house solutions, or purchase products from AI vendors. The focus is on LLM products, featuring new trends in Enterprise AI to boost ROI. Besides the technological aspects, I also discuss the human aspects. I discussed the topic at a recent webinar. You can watch the recording, here. What is […]

What can we learn about human intelligence by studying how machines “think?” Can we better understand ourselves if we better understand the artificial intelligence systems that are becoming a more significant part of our everyday lives? These questions may be deeply philosophical, but for Phillip Isola, finding the answers is as much about computation as it is about cogitation. Isola, the newly tenured associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), studies the fundamental […]
In 2025, “using AI” no longer just means chatting with a model, and you’ve probably already noticed that shift yourself.
