When DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence (AI) model became widely known early this year, it prompted an enormous debate in the tech industry: Would the Chinese AI model, with its frugal use of compute resources, lower the need for NVIDIA’s high-performance GPUs?

Hybrid-multi-cloud applications have become part of the enterprise IT landscape, but they give me a headache. This episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast features Barton George, Michael Graff, Mitchell Lewis of The Futurum Group, and Alastair Cooke discussing the dream of a single cloud provider being home to every application in the enterprise has long been morphed.
