Over the past year, the discussion in AI has gradually shifted away from models as isolated reasoning engines and toward agents as autonomous operational systems. Large language models are no longer framed merely as tools for generating text or answering questions. They are presented as components capable of planning, acting, coordinating across APIs, and making […]

Ask any AI leader how their last project went and you’ll likely hear about accuracy. F1 scores. AUC. The model “performed well.” Ask them how it’s doing in production, and things get quieter. The truth is uncomfortable but necessary:Most AI doesn’t fail in training. It fails in deployment. Accuracy Is Not a Success Metric In

Price ticks, order submissions, cancellations, executions, and settlement instructions all occur at millisecond scale. Within that torrent of activity, regulators and trading firms need to detect suspicious behavior: wash trades, spoofing, layering, or coordinated account activity. The traditional approach—batch analysis

Since its inception at LinkedIn in 2011, Kafka has

Failure to comply with this requirement can result in severe fines, reaching up to 4% of a company’s global revenue or €20 million, whichever is higher. For companies using
