Celonis Chief Scientist Devavrat Shah argues that enterprise AI must be embedded in real-world business contexts—such as workflows, role-based permissions, and process constraints—in order to achieve “decision intelligence”; AI divorced from context is prone to errors, resource waste, or ineffective outputs. His technical approach relies on a “context layer” and a digital twin architecture, emphasizing incremental validation, role-based governance, and workforce empowerment. However, all these claims are subjective assertions and have not been independently verified.
As the scale of generative AI inference surges, enterprises are facing significantly underestimated backend data storage costs—including logs, caches, intermediate rendering, security records, and more—often amounting to tens to hundreds of times the size of the user-visible output. IDC research shows that 95% of surveyed companies experienced an increase in data volume over the past year due to AI, with 61% reporting growth exceeding 25%, while storage spending has already begun outpacing compute budgets.
At the GTC Berlin conference, European financial institutions including Revolut, Starling Bank, Lloyds, and Santander announced that they are building production‑grade AI capabilities based on NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform and open‑source weight models—such as PRAGMA, the Nemotron series, and the Kumo family—covering core use cases like trading analytics, speech recognition, fraud detection, and data pipeline acceleration, while emphasizing data sovereignty, cost control, and compliant deployment.
NVIDIA has expanded the Cosmos platform by introducing the Cosmos Data Factory blueprint, the Cosmos Framework training optimization tool, and the Cosmos 3 NIM microservice, supporting multimodal data generation, adaptation to open-source world models (such as GR00T and QWEN), and low-latency inference; real-world applications have already been deployed by Porsche, ANYbotics, Ultralytics, ADNOC, and others.
Faced with the stark reality of over 200 GW of grid‑connected projects backlog in the United States and $300 billion in delayed equipment deliveries, several energy and industrial giants are leveraging NVIDIA’s DSX AI Factory platform to integrate power grids, facilities, and computing systems, enabling collaborative simulation and dynamic scheduling from substations to server racks—thus overcoming the primary bottleneck hindering current AI infrastructure development: power supply constraints.
European retailers are leveraging NVIDIA-accelerated open large models and physics‑AI technologies to achieve large‑scale deployment across scenarios such as digital product discovery, intelligent warehouse simulation, virtual try‑on, and accelerated R&D. Companies including Shopify, Zooplus, L’Oréal, and the Otto Group have used tools like the Nemotron series of models, Omniverse digital twins, and ALCHEMI molecular simulations to significantly reduce inference costs, improve search accuracy, shorten R&D cycles, and validate improvements in conversion rates and sales growth.
NVIDIA has released the Earth-2 open-source AI model family for Europe, including the region-specific nowcasting model StormScope EU, and is collaborating with organizations such as AXA, Vaisala Xweather, the University of Manchester, and TotalEnergies to conduct real-world validation, covering tasks like storm risk assessment, air quality modeling, solar power generation forecasting, and radar terrain inversion.
NVIDIA, in collaboration with governments and technology partners across multiple European countries, is advancing sovereign, controllable AI applications—leveraging open-source large models such as Nemotron and synthetic persona datasets—in Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, France, Greece, and other nations. These efforts span areas including medical image analysis, employment services, digital government assistants, classified information processing, and localized language modeling.
IBM Research has released the open-source Granite Timeseries Ensemble (v1), which integrates four types of pre-trained architectures—PatchTST-FM-r1/r2, FlowState, and Tiny Time Mixers—and supports probabilistic ensemble forecasting with zero fine-tuning. By default, it employs equal-weight probabilistic pooling (Probabilistic Ensemble), while also offering an IQR-based adaptive weighting scheme (IQR Ensemble). On the GIFT-Eval benchmark (as of the October 20, 2026 snapshot), its point forecast error (MASE = 0.683) slightly outperforms that of the best single model, with significantly improved overall robustness.
This paper systematically categorizes four typical types of hallucinations exhibited by AI agents in real-world workflows—factual, contextual, fictional, and self-contradictory—and proposes that detection should rely on a multi-dimensional approach, incorporating credibility checks, source verification, self-consistency assessment, semantic entropy analysis, and human–machine collaboration thresholds, rather than on a single scoring metric. It underscores that such detection must be embedded within the workflow’s closed loop and deeply integrated with observability, error handling, and human review pathways.
Microsoft and Hugging Face have jointly launched the open-source framework ThinkingBox, which generates binary 0/1 rewards by comparing the LLM agent’s final database state after execution with the expected state, for reinforcement learning-based fine-tuning. The accompanying benchmark, ThinkingBox-Bench, includes 507 real-world backend tasks, none of which were used during training. After 50 steps of GRPO fine-tuning, Qwen3.8-27B achieved a 9.08-percentage-point improvement in pass@1 on the held-out test set, with Observed 20/20 nearly tripling; however, pass@20 declined in some domains, reflecting a trade-off between breadth and stability.
