Hi there,
Happy Monday! Welcome to your latest edition of First AI Movers Pro, where we round up the most important developments shaping artificial intelligence each day. Let’s jump into today’s headline story.
ServiceNow + Nvidia roll out ‘Apriel Nemotron 15B’ and a data flywheel
Enterprise-workflow giant ServiceNow and Nvidia have deepened their partnership, debuting a purpose-built reasoning model called Apriel Nemotron 15B at the Knowledge 2025 conference in Las Vegas. The 15-billion-parameter large language model (LLM) is trained on ServiceNow domain data with Nvidia’s NeMo toolkit and DGX Cloud infrastructure, promising lower latency and inference cost for real-time “agentic AI” inside corporate workflows.
Why it matters:
Smaller, cheaper, faster – A compact model that still offers advanced reasoning could make autonomous agents viable for more organisations, not just Big Tech.
Closed-loop learning – A joint “data flywheel” will feed enterprise workflow data back into model fine-tuning, continually boosting accuracy while letting customers keep control of sensitive data.
Market signal – With availability expected in Q2 2025, ServiceNow is positioning itself as an “AI operating system” for business tasks—an arena previously dominated by custom in-house stacks.
“We’re powering intelligent AI agents that can make context-aware decisions, adapt to complex workflows, and deliver personalised outcomes at scale,”
Meanwhile, in other corners of the AI world...
Quick Takes
AI Safety Advocates Urge Caution — Experts like Max Tegmark are calling for rigorous risk assessments of advanced AI systems to prevent potential loss of human control over artificial superintelligence.
Gen Z's Openness to AI Relationships — A recent poll reveals that a significant portion of Generation Z is open to forming emotional connections with AI, with some even considering marriage to AI entities if it were legal.
Meta's Vision for AI in Engineering — Mark Zuckerberg suggests that AI could soon handle tasks equivalent to those of mid-level engineers, potentially reshaping the software development.
Fun Fact
Did you know? The concept of "Living Intelligence" merges AI, biotechnology, and advanced sensors to create systems capable of sensing, learning, and adapting, blurring the lines between biological and artificial systems.
