In Partnership
Other AI companies are focused on building the biggest model. We’re focused on building the best future.
WebAI is an end-to-end private AI platform. Our customers build, scale, and deploy specialized models on their own infrastructure—not someone else’s cloud—for sub-second speed, 60% lower costs, and airtight control of their data.
See why global leaders in health tech, aviation, finserv, and manufacturing are switching to private AI in our new executive guide.
NEWS UPDATES
Databricks Buys Neon to Speed Up AI Apps
Databricks is buying Neon, a startup that makes a cloud-based Postgres database, for $1B. Neon’s system builds and manages databases automatically - 80% are created by AI agents, not people. Databricks will use this to run AI agents faster and cheaper. Running AI at scale needs faster, flexible data tools - this deal helps Databricks offer that.
G42 and Cisco Team Up on AI Infrastructure
G42 and Cisco signed a new agreement to develop AI infrastructure and cybersecurity tools across sectors. The deal combines Cisco’s secure AI systems with G42’s regional networks and growing global reach. They will build reference architectures and explore joint go-to-market plans. Global tech firms are forming alliances to scale AI faster and more securely.
OpenAI Launches Real-World AI Health Test
OpenAI released HealthBench, a new open-source test that checks how well AI models handle real medical conversations. It uses 5,000 cases graded by doctors across 60 countries. The goal is to measure safety and accuracy in everyday use, not exam-style questions. HealthBench gives hospitals and developers a clearer way to check if AI is ready for clinical use.
