Our Smol model is trending on HF, it’s nice to see that it’s among giants. We already have significant improvements for SmolDocling coming up pretty soon. Check it out and let us know your feedback and what you see needs to be improved. #docling #huggingface #VLMs #IBM

It was wonderful to be a part of the All Things AI conference at the beautiful Carolina theater today. During my keynote, I had the privilege of announcing that IBM is donating three AI projects to the Linux Foundation as part of our ongoing commitment to open innovation in AI. Kudos to Todd Lewis and Mark Hinkle for pulling this event together and being such wonderful hosts. And special thanks to the amazing IBM team for the exciting innovations that we are able to showcase and share with the open community. Bill Higgins Brad Topol Kate Blair Nirmit Desai Peter W. J.

We’re thrilled to share IBM has been named #1 on Fast Company's list of the 10 Most Innovative Companies in computing—thanks to our industry-leading advancements in quantum. https://ibm.co/4iZH6VJ This recognition is a testament to our efforts to provide best-in-class quantum technology to a global ecosystem of developers, researchers, domain experts and organizations. In the last year, we’ve also committed to strengthening our infrastructure through new additions that not only welcome startups and partner organizations to collaborate with us, but also make it even easier for developers with any level of quantum knowledge to get started. Our commitments to broadening the quantum ecosystem are beginning to bear fruit. Our platform now features over 650,000 users globally who are exploring quantum applications and developing algorithms that look to unlock new capabilities with our systems in the near-term. As we look towards the future, we are pleased to be honored with the top spot on this list, but continue to hammer the drum that we cannot achieve useful quantum computing alone. We must continue this pathway of collaboration that we’ve laid out in our roadmap to achieve quantum advantage in the next two years, and deliver a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. We plan on doing just that.

In this week’s edition, we're exploring IBM’s presence at the 2025 SXSW Conference. We’ll hear from IBM's Arvind Krishna, who discusses the future of AI and quantum computing, take a closer look at IBM activations around SXSW, and talk Basque Country’s leap into the quantum race.

🚀 Introducing BeeAI: an IBM Open Source platform designed to make working with AI Agents simpler, more flexible, and more powerful. Yesterday in San Francisco, some of my favorite colleagues from the IBM Research AI Incubation team presented the project's evolution at the AI Developer Conference organized by deeplearning ai. With BeeAI, whether you're building your own agents or leveraging existing ones, BeeAI helps you discover, run, and compose AI agents across any framework or language. A few highlights the team is especially proud of: 𝟭/ 𝗜𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰: Connect AI agents seamlessly, regardless of their language or platform. 𝟮/ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: Construct sophisticated multi-agent workflows using modular components. 𝟯/ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: Explore a growing catalog of AI agents with an intuitive search. 𝟰/ 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: First-class tools for Python and TypeScript agent developers via the BeeAI Framework. And it's open source under the Apache 2.0 license. If you're working with agents or considering it, check out this out: - Website: https://beeai.dev/ - Documentation: https://lnkd.in/gqhy9d9c - Agent Library: https://beeai.dev/agents - Repo: https://lnkd.in/gyRGT8sA

Super thrilled to share the launch of BeeAI- the #opensource platform to discover, run, and compose AI agents from any framework! We're tackling a critical challenge in the #AIagent ecosystem: breaking down the walls between frameworks. Currently, #AI #agents exist in silos, making it difficult to build across ecosystems and harness their true potential. We wanted to enable any developer to access any agent from anywhere. That's why we built BeeAI at IBM Research! BeeAI changes everything by allowing you to: 🌐 Discover and run agents from any framework through a unified interface 🔎 Search our growing catalog of specialized AI agents (https://beeai.dev/agents) 🔗 Build powerful workflows by connecting agents together ➕ Contribute your own agents (https://lnkd.in/eshzkMQK) Check it out and learn more at beeai.dev! Happy building! 🚀 🐝

Today, we and the Basque Government shared plans to install Europe’s first IBM Quantum System Two by end of 2025 at the IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center on Ikerbasque Foundation’s main campus in San Sebastian, Spain. https://ibm.co/3DrFyFe We were thrilled to welcome Basque government representatives, including Mr. Imanol Pradales, President of the Basque Country Government, to our Yorktown Heights lab to meet with IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, VP of IBM Quantum Jay Gambetta, and other executives, tour the facility, and announce this next milestone in our partnership. The deployment of our most performant quantum system to date builds on our collaboration with the Basque Region, which began in 2023 as part of the BasQ initiative to further establish the region as a leading technology hub, and epicenter for quantum computing in Europe.
