Operationalizing digital employee experience is not about implementing another technology platform or launching another transformation project. It is about embedding new capabilities into the way IT and eventually the wider organization identifies problems, manages change and improves the employee experience. That cannot happen through implementation alone.

At KTH, the Swedish Maritime Robotics Centre (SMaRC) is continuously developing an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) as a research platform for studying underwater environments. The AUV has traditionally been powered by batteries, but adding a fuel cell can extend its operating range.

You can now see which of your Multi-Region Cloud Storage buckets have cross-location read charges worth acting on, and start with the ones where a cache would save the most. It runs automatically for every organization with GCP Cloud Storage, so there’s nothing to set up. Google bills network data transfer when a Google Cloud service in one location pulls data from a Multi-Region bucket in another.

The best open source LLMs by family: DeepSeek V4 for frontier reasoning under MIT, Qwen3.8 and Gemma 4 for clean Apache 2.0 licensing, GLM-5.3 for coding, Kimi K3 for long context, Llama 4 for single-GPU scale. The real ranking depends on your deployment lane and token volume, and this guide prices all three lanes. At CloudZero, Bill Buckley, our SVP of Engineering, gives every engineer a $5,000 monthly AI token budget and published the math behind it.

At EVOLVE, Cortex’s annual engineering leadership conference, Nathen Harvey (Google Cloud’s DORA lead) asked the audience to name the biggest friction point in their software delivery lifecycle. Of 69 people who voted, none picked “building”. Reviewing changes and measuring impact nearly tied for first. Risk, security, ownership, and trust topped the EVOLVE audience's list of what keeps AI-built software out of production, and all four are platform problems.
