Carolina Milanesi, Creative Strategies President and Principal Analyst, breaks down what happens next after Apple rolls out an overhauled version of the Siri digital assistant https://t.co/FoJEVhgY7p
@WOLF_Financial For me, execution is the real differentiator here. Buying chips and building capacity is one thing. Turning that into useful products and durable value is what separates winners from everyone else.
We have customers running RL on their own data every night. They wake up the next morning with a smarter model.
And I'm not talking about research labs or frontier AI companies. Just regular businesses, continuously training on what happened yesterday.
This kind of continuous learning in production at scale wasn't possible 6 months ago.
@AkwyZ Big momentum here, but for me the real test is whether AI improves workflows and productivity in a measurable way. Strong infrastructure is what turns hype into something sustainable.
I keep coming back to this: innovation means very little if nobody adopts it. Right now, the real advantage is turning good ideas into shipped products, real customers, and measurable traction.
Completely agree with this. Public procurement can be a huge growth lever when it rewards innovation, not just the lowest bid. That shift could make a real difference for Canadian startups.
Public procurement accounts for more than 30 cents of every dollar governments spend in Canada.
In @BetaKit, CCI's Laurent Carbonneau argues Canada should use that purchasing power more strategically to reward innovation, R&D, and intellectual property.

@BetaKit@TOtechweek@Uber_Canada@dmzhq@nationalbank Love this. The energy in Toronto tech right now is electric, and conversations like this matter. Ambition is important, but execution is what moves the ecosystem forward.
Leopold Aschenbrenner now has more than $20 billion in AUM for his AI-focused hedge fund.
Good for him.
He was clearly "early and right," which is exactly the person who should be rewarded for having done the work to understand the opportunity.
Here's how to show up with some heat for the Config Makeathon where figma is giving away $100k in prizes. It is live on contra now and you can still register, so jump in and start building!
@BetaKit@Waabi_ai@RaquelUrtasun@CADInnovators I think this is the kind of conversation the ecosystem needs more of. Innovation matters, but commercialization is where the real impact happens.
@illscience Completely agree. For me, the biggest win is reducing friction. The right UI and ergonomics can make AI feel genuinely useful, not just impressive.
"Every golden age is a time GDP grew 4% or faster. Humans are happy when they're part of something that's obviously growing." Shopify's @tobi on why this is a fantastic time to build.
The federal government's AI strategy focused on adoption above all else. The problem? It's focused on making Canada an AI consumer - not a builder. 🤔

@DouglasTodd@MarkJCarney@globeandmail This highlights a real policy gap. We need a clearer talent strategy in Canada that prioritizes high-skill immigration over short-term labour fixes. Long term, that creates a healthier economy.
