The Future of AI is Hybrid: TECHnalysis Research Survey Report

Everyone knows that AI is reshaping the very foundations of enterprise computing. But what hasn’t been as clear is the fact that it’s a Hybrid AI model—involving the major public cloud providers, on-premise data centers/private clouds and edge computing devices—that are driving the biggest change. The latest TECHnalysis Research Hybrid AI Study, which surveyed over 1,000 IT decision-makers from medium and large organizations across ten US industries, offers a compelling snapshot of this transition. The findings reveal that the era of “cloud-first” thinking for AI workloads and applications is rapidly giving way to a more nuanced, hybrid approach—one that balances the strengths of public cloud, private infrastructure, and edge computing.

When it comes time to start thinking about updating your cellular connectivity choices, most people do a lot more research on what new phone to get than what kind of plan they want to sign up for. But with their latest offering—dubbed T-Mix—T-Mobile is hoping to make service selection equally important and just as research-worthy. Building on the company’s existing T-Mobile Perks, the new T-Mix offerings up the ante on several levels including a wider range of services, flexibility in making changes and, most importantly, customization to match individual interests.
