Dive Brief:
ServiceNow and Nvidia developed an open-source AI model to fuel enterprise agents as part of an expanded partnership introduced Tuesday at ServiceNow's annual Knowledge conference.
The pair of vendors designed Apriel Nemotron 15B to provide agentic capabilities at a lower cost. ServiceNow and Nvidia noted that the model delivers lower latency and inference costs, making it faster and more cost-effective to run on Nvidia's infrastructure. Customers can begin accessing the LLM in Q2 2025.
ServiceNow and Nvidia also unveiled a joint data flywheel architecture or data feedback loop to improve AI agent performance by integrating select Nvidia NeMo microservices with ServiceNow's Workflow Data Fabric. The architecture 'enables a closed-loop learning process that improves model accuracy and adaptability,' the companies said.
Dive Insight:
Enterprises are exploring AI agent use cases and the value that agentic services can bring, but leaders have concerns.
Technical and organizational challenges are plentiful, from governing the tools to securing the ever-expanding attack surface. Plus, nearly 2 in 5 businesses say integrating the technology with current systems is very or extremely challenging, according to a Cloudera report published last month.
Workers have expressed concerns, too, especially in terms of accuracy and reliability. More than one-third of workers said AI-produced work is subpar compared with their own, according to a Pegasystems survey.
CIOs, however, continue to have high hopes for the technology. Businesses have mostly aimed implementation efforts at the IT service desk, data processing and code development, according to a Tray.ai report.
Walmart is an early adopter of the technology, giving developers access to agents designed to identify accessibility gaps in code. Expedia is in the experiment phase, enabling employees to experiment with AI agents as part of a generative AI playground. Other companies on the agent deployment path include Toyota Motor Corporation, Estée Lauder Companies and KPMG.
For their part, vendors are working to ease concerns and lower barriers to entry. Most technology providers have curated toolkits and services to accelerate agent development and implementation for enterprise customers.
ServiceNow added thousands of pre-built AI agents earlier this year to kickstart adoption among customers. Salesforce expanded its model lineup last week in support of agentic AI, adding variations to increase accessibility and deployment flexibility across potential environments. Snowflake released its own agents in February that can identify fiscal year start dates, explain internal naming conventions and prioritize key tables during SQL generation.

I replaced my fitness instructor with AI. I'm now stronger, more motivated, and saving hundreds of dollars.
I was spending all this money on workout classes and clothes, but wasn't getting any fitter. I already use AI in other areas of my life and decided to try it for my personal fitness. The results have been incredible: I'm stronger, leaner, more motivated, and am saving money too. I used to feel like I needed to spend money to stay in shape — not just on the gym but also on classes, personal training, and enough Lululemon to dress a small Olympic team. I was immersed in a landscape of gymfluencers and self-improvement culture, and that combined with my own poor impulse control, plunged me into a costly cycle where I felt like my ability to stay healthy was increasingly associated with spending. However, I wasn't getting any fitter despite spending over $100 each month on a gym membership, personal training, and workout gear. What finally worked wasn't some militant app that blasted my phone with reminders or a new Apple Watch. It was self-discipline and an AI sidekick. It's been over two months since I replaced my personal trainer with AI, and I've become stronger, leaner, and saved hundreds of dollars, as a result. To be clear, trading people for algorithms wasn't my intention when I started out. After all, it was a person who got me hooked on fitness in the first place. However, I have to admit that using AI to refocus has given me back ownership of my time, money, and motivation. In my early 20s, I traveled frequently between cities, which made it hard for me to establish any consistent habits, including fitness. This lack of structure and haphazard routine came to a head when I moved to Cambridge for a master's program. Juggling full-time work with studies took its toll, and I found that the only real solution to a clean bill of mental health was exercise. I lucked out that one of the instructors running classes at my local gym was brilliant and had a knack for pushing me just beyond my natural limits. I trained with him for about a year, but when he moved on, my motivation tanked. I stayed on at the gym, but wasn't getting what I needed from other instructors and the membership bills kept coming. Testing alternative spaces with Classpass and various free trials at other gyms was fine for a while, but without consistent guidance and encouragement, I started showing up less, making excuses, and procrastinating. All the habit stacking and calendar updates in the world can't help if you just don't want to be somewhere. Bribing myself with new gym wear and post-workout treats helped me show up, but that wasn't sustainable either. The pounds were rolling away, but they were the wrong kind: sterling. I decided to make a change. I already used ChatGPT and Perplexity in other areas of my life — mostly for recipes, travel planning, and other kinds of research and troubleshooting. So, tailoring a personal exercise routine wasn't difficult to start. I used ChatGPT as a master app, entering my goals and progress each week and requesting new or updated workout routines. I also used it to explore issues around willpower and discipline. Where once I might have taken a few days to read and sift out strategies and motivation from books, now I could find solutions in real time and dig into the reasons I might be holding myself back. I even used ChatGPT to find recommendations for other free AI-powered apps. The best of these was Cronometer, a nutrition and calorie-counting app, which I began using daily. I use the free version and it helps me track water intake, macros (carbs, proteins, and fats), fiber, iron, and vitamin levels. I got curious about the results I was seeing with Cronometer and turned to ChatGPT again to learn more about nutrition. I asked it questions like: Why does protein matter so much for muscle growth and recovery? How much do I need? What's the best way to get it? Soon it was providing me with simple meal plans to boost my protein intake and better complement my workouts. I also use a free app that ChatGPT recommended, Hevy, which tracks sets of reps in real time. I also use the free version of Gymmade, which offers a catalog of resistance training exercises with step-by-step instruction and animated illustrations; it's been the perfect tool for confidently handling any free weights. I'm now seeing real results across strength, stamina, body composition, and mood. My muscle definition improved, and I doubled the weight I was lifting in a matter of weeks. Plus, the urge for expensive personal training has vanished. I dropped my gym membership and now I hit my local free outdoor gym instead. I wouldn't have made it to this point without the encouragement of that first brilliant instructor. However, what made the most difference was learning to hold myself accountable and build my own motivation and momentum without anyone's help. I didn't set out to build a DIY fitness routine, but I've stuck to it longer than anything else I've tried on my own. Read the original article on Business Insider

From Startup to State Asset? Former Hedge Fund Manager Warns Elon Musk's Dojo Is Quietly Becoming National Infrastructure
BALTIMORE, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It started as a Tesla project. But according to former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta's recent briefing, Elon Musk's Dojo may soon be functioning as critical U.S. infrastructure — without anyone officially calling it that. What began as an AI chip built to replace Nvidia has quickly evolved into a full-stack platform capable of running autonomous vehicles, training machine vision systems, and powering physical AI across industries. 'This is how it happens,' Abeyta says. 'You build something private… and then one day, the government needs it more than anyone else.' The Private Chip That's Becoming Public Policy Dojo was born out of necessity — after Nvidia couldn't meet Musk's needs. The result? A custom chip now reported to be 6x more powerful than Nvidia's best-selling model, optimized for training AI on real-world video at massive scale. Every day, Tesla's fleet feeds Dojo with 160 billion frames of visual data, helping the system learn how to operate in the physical world — without human help. On June 1st, Tesla is expected to launch a robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no fallback to human control. AI Without a Kill Switch Dojo's value isn't just speed — it's autonomy. Abeyta believes that's what makes it so appealing to government agencies quietly searching for domestic alternatives to foreign tech dependence. 'Once you control the AI, the chips, the vehicles, and the data — you're not a car company anymore,' he says. 'You're a national asset in everything but name.' And the signs are already here: According to internal reports, one of Musk's key Dojo partners is 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration. ' That aligns with a recent executive order from President Trump, aimed at 'removing barriers to American AI innovation.' The Tesla Effect: When Platforms Become Policy This wouldn't be the first time Musk built something the government eventually leaned on — from satellites to EV infrastructure. But Abeyta says Dojo is different . It's not about energy or communication. It's about machine-level control over physical environments — and that means its future may not be up to Tesla at all. About Enrique Abeyta Enrique Abeyta is a former hedge fund manager with more than two decades of experience tracking large-scale industrial and capital transformations. After managing nearly $4 billion in institutional funds, he now leads Breaking Profits, a research platform focused on identifying the hidden infrastructure reshaping America's future — from finance to tech to defense.
