The deep learning revolution has a curious blind spot: the spreadsheet. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have mastered the nuances of human prose and image generators have conquered the digital canvas, the structured, relational data that underpins the global economy — the rows and columns of ERP systems, CRMs, and financial ledgers — has so far been treated as just another file format similar to text or PDFs.That's left enterprises to forecast business outcomes using the typical bespoke, labor-intensive data science process of manual feature engineering and classic machine learning algorithms that predate modern deep learning.But now Fundamental, a San Francisco-based AI firm co-founded by DeepMind alumni, is launching today with $255 million in total funding to bridge this gap [...]

The vast majority of business data is tabular — living in data warehouses, CRMs, and financial ledgers — yet building a reliable model from it still means training a new one from scratch for every [...]
H2O.ai has unveiled tabH2O, a foundation model purpose-built for tabular data that can generate high-accuracy predictions from structured datasets using a single API call, with no model training requi [...]
SAP aims to displace more general large language models with the release of its own foundational “tabular” model, which the company claims will reduce training requirements for enterprises. The m [...]
Training a foundation LLM from scratch costs millions and requires internet-scale data — which is why most enterprises don't bother. Sapient thinks it has a cheaper path.To overcome this brute- [...]
A stealth artificial intelligence startup founded by an MIT researcher emerged this morning with an ambitious claim: its new AI model can control computers better than systems built by OpenAI and Anth [...]
The $29.3 billion AI coding tool just got caught with its provenance showing. When Cursor launched Composer 2 last week — calling it "frontier-level coding intelligence" — it presented t [...]
Alibaba's Qwen team released Qwen-AgentWorld on Tuesday — two models trained not to act inside agent environments, but to predict what those environments return. The release covers seven domain [...]
Microsoft on Tuesday released Phi-4-reasoning-vision-15B, a compact open-weight multimodal AI model that the company says matches or exceeds the performance of systems many times its size — while co [...]
