Hot off the press from Google Cloud Next '25! I caught up with Jeanine Banks, VP & GM of Developer X at Google, on The Ravit Show right after the BIG reveal: Firebase Studio is here!

Yes — Firebase Studio just dropped, and it’s about to change how we build apps.

Jeanine and I talked about:

• How AI is reshaping the way software gets built — from concept to code

• Why Firebase Studio was created and what it unlocks for developers

• The rise of “vibe coding” — and why this new approach is more than just a trend

• How developers can supercharge productivity and creativity by tapping into AI

The energy on the show floor is electric — and announcements like this are why.

Big thanks to Jeanine and the Firebase team for sharing this breaking moment with us on #TheRavitShow!

I had the pleasure of chatting with Arvind Jain, CEO & Co-Founder of Glean, on The Ravit Show — and what a powerful discussion it was.

We dove into what’s real vs. what’s just hype when it comes to AI agents, and how truly intelligent agents are poised to reshape how enterprises operate over the next 5–7 years.

We also explored:

• How search has always been core to Glean’s mission — and why that foundation enables more context-aware, intelligent AI experiences.

• The power of Glean’s connector ecosystem with 100+ SaaS apps — and why breadth of integration really matters in the modern workplace.

• Their deep partnership with Google Cloud and how it brings real value to customers.

• The barriers to AI adoption in the enterprise — and how Glean is helping to lower them.

And of course, I asked Arvind what excites him most about the future of AI at work — his answer? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

Big thanks to Arvind and the Glean team for joining me during such an exciting week here at #GoogleNext25.

GenAI is evolving fast — and enterprises are feeling the pressure to keep up. That’s why I was excited to sit down with Pankaj Dugar, SVP & GM at AI21 Labs, on The Ravit Show at Google Cloud Next '25!

We talked about:

• The biggest misconceptions enterprises still have about GenAI (hint: it’s not just about the tech)

• Where we really are on the enterprise adoption curve

• What makes AI21’s LLMs stand out in a crowded market — including their focus on private and secure deployments

• And if you’re a Fortune 500 CIO thinking about your GenAI strategy this year… Pankaj had some solid 30-second advice you won’t want to miss

Loved this conversation — practical, insightful, and full of no-fluff takes on what’s next for GenAI in the enterprise.

Catch it on #TheRavitShow!

How are leading tech companies joining forces to modernize AI infrastructure for the enterprise? At NVIDIA GTC, I had a great discussion with Vinay Samuel, Founder of Zetaris and Jeb Horton, SVP, Hitachi Vantara to dive into their exciting partnership—and how it’s shaping the future of Modern Lakehouse AI.

🚀 Key Takeaways:

🔹 Zetaris + Hitachi Vantara: Powering smarter, faster enterprise data

🔹 Real-time, distributed lakehouse architecture

🔹 Helping large enterprises unlock AI at scale

🔹 Modernizing AI infrastructure from edge to cloud

The synergy between these two companies is next level—and it's setting a bold direction for enterprise AI.

That was the first question I asked Vinay Samuel, CEO of Zetaris on The Ravit Show when we caught up at NVIDIA GTC this week.

We had an amazing discussion around:

- Why Zetaris stands out from traditional databases and data warehouses

- How it enables fast, efficient AI development

- And why now is the perfect time for platforms like Zetaris to lead the charge

- Also, discussed about their partnership with Hitachi Vantara, Equinix, and more!

NVIDIA GTC was packed with innovation, and getting to dive into conversations like this made it even more special. Big thanks to Vinay for sharing his vision—and excited for what's next and the great announcements that are coming up!

One of the most insightful conversations I had at NVIDIA GTC on The Ravit Show was with Levon Sarkisian, Head of Solutions Architecture at Nebius.

We talked about Nebius’ bold expansion into the US market, where they’re going head-to-head with some of the biggest names in cloud and AI infrastructure.

Check out what Levon answered when I asked Levon to describe Nebius in just 3 words, his response captured their entire mission:

We also discussed:

🌎 What makes Nebius different from other cloud players

🏭 The specific industries and customer segments they're doubling down on

🧠 The real challenges facing model builders and AI labs—especially in today’s race to win the generative AI game

If you’re working on GenAI or building scalable models, you’ll want to keep an eye on what Nebius is doing next. Their momentum is real.

Building a cloud for AI is more than just stacking GPUs together—it requires deep software expertise and hardware innovation working in sync. At NVIDIA GTC, I had the chance to sit down with Gleb K. and Oleg Fedorov from Nebius to break down what it really takes to build a high-performance AI cloud from scratch.Gleb, leading the software side, shared insights into the complexities of AI cloud infrastructure, while Oleg, focusing on hardware, talked about the compute power needed to support today’s AI demands.We covered:✅ What it means to be a "serial cloud builder" and how Gleb transitioned from managing data centers to architecting AI-first cloud solutions✅ Why an AI cloud is much more than just a collection of GPUs and how Nebius optimized for speed and efficiency✅ The key ingredients of “good compute” and what it takes to deliver top-tier performance in AI workloads✅ How Nebius and NVIDIA are working together to push the boundaries of AI infrastructureThis interview is about the software-hardware synergy that powers AI innovation and the future of AI cloud computing.#data #ai #nebius #nvidiagtc2025 #theravitshow

How do you turn powerful AI models into real-world impact—without the complexity? During NVIDIA GTC, I had the chance to speak with Dylan Bristot, Senior AI Product Marketing Manager, Nebius, on The Ravit Show about how Nebius AI Studio is bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI and enterprise readiness.

Dylan walked us through:

-- What Nebius AI Studio is—and how it’s built to solve real challenges organizations face when implementing AI

-- The core services that power the platform, from training and fine-tuning to deployment and scaling

-- The diverse model ecosystem available on the studio and how Nebius decides which models to support

-- The growing importance of open-source AI, and how Nebius is contributing to that evolution

We also explored one of the most creative showcases at GTC: the “Street Fighter III AI Arena” demo. Beyond the fun and nostalgia, it demonstrates the real-world potential of vision models—and how AI can learn, adapt, and compete in dynamic environments.

This was a deep dive into what it takes to make AI useful, usable, and scalable—while keeping the developer experience front and center.

One of the highlights of my time at NVIDIA GTC? Sitting down with none other than Krish Naik—one of India’s biggest voices in the Data & AI space and a powerhouse educator on YouTube.

We had a deep, candid conversation about:

— The future of AI Agents

— Key takeaways from NVIDIA GTC

— What’s next in AI innovation

— His new company (yes, something exciting is brewing!)

— And his ongoing mission to make Data & AI education accessible to millions

Krish has taught and inspired an entire generation of data professionals—including many who tuned into The Ravit Show. Hearing his perspective in person was something I won’t forget.

If you’re in Data or AI, you’ve probably learned something from him.

Stay tuned—because his next chapter sounds even more impactful.

When we talk about AI, we often focus on models, data, and compute. But here’s a question we don’t ask enough: What’s connecting it all together?

At NVIDIA GTC last week, I caught up with Praful Lalchandani, VP of Product for Data Center Platform and AI Solutions at Juniper Networks on The Ravit Show, and we unpacked something that’s often overlooked—the networking layer powering the AI boom.

Key highlights from our conversation:

-- Why networking is not just plumbing—but a key strategic driver in AI

-- Juniper’s GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS): Making AI more cost-efficient and scalable

-- The shift toward an open, multivendor AI ecosystem

-- The evolving role of the AI data center and how Juniper is helping reshape it

If you're building or modernizing for AI, this is a conversation worth tuning into.
