Azure Cloud Native Meetup Köln

On November 17th, the 29th Azure Cloud Native Meetup takes place in Cologne. Our colleague Marc Schuh presents the talk "AI took off. Why now and what is next?". It begins with a short overview of what made the current AI breakthrough possible: context windows grew 10,000-fold, compute a billion-fold, and inference costs dropped significantly. Agents now finish 12-hour tasks on their own, and the same machinery broke a 56-year-old record in matrix multiplication and won gold at the Mathematical Olympiad. Marc then focuses on examples where AI was successfully applied and gives hints on what is necessary for AI to take off in an enterprise context. Finally, he looks ahead at visible market signs, such as decreasing prices, that could point to next significant developments.
