Big week for

with the launch of the z16 on Tuesday.
Beyond the technology the z16 launch is vital to

IBM is ~25% smaller than when the z15 was launched, so any positive impact from the launch will be amplified.

Power 100 list
The list ranks the 8,000+ technology analysts that track and advise the technology sector.

It’s still a bit of a cop out for Apple to not create its own LLM’s - heck IBM has created its own with Granite.
I am continually surprised by the lack of innovation at Apple.
Great to connect with
