Explore private AI with our analysts this week

theCUBE's upcoming broadcasts & events [TheCUBE Pod insights: VMware’s play for private AI and Nvidia's fan frenzy]( In the latest episode of [theCUBE Pod,]( founding analysts John Furrier and Dave Vallante discuss key findings from on-site coverage at HPE Discover in Las Vegas and reflect on the hectic conference season. The episode highlights key topics such as Nvidia becoming the most valuable company, surpassing Microsoft and Apple, and the rise of enterprise AI, particularly Nvidia’s advancements in clustered systems and AI technology.   They also look at Palantir's significant contributions to big data, emphasizing its role in harmonizing disparate data systems and its historical government contracts. VMware's strategic focus on top-tier customers, hybrid cloud and private AI, is also a topic of discussion, as well as the implications of shifting market trends on AI and the tech sector.   “I think the confluence of hybrid cloud becoming cloud operations with things like Kubernetes has changed the game where, now, the enterprises for the first time could have a cloud-native environment on their own environment for security reasons, for privacy reasons, for private AI reasons, for confidential computing reasons," Furrier said. "Then have that extensibility to the edge where VMware can manage all these services automatically under the covers like AWS does. I think that's a compelling pitch.”   Read more about theCUBE Pod [here](. [Watch the full episode]( AI models keep getting smarter — but how smart can they get? As Nvidia became the world’s most valuable company, if only for a few days, it’s apparent that the race to develop even better generative artificial intelligence models isn’t slowing down. Here are this week's top stories in tech.

As companies strive to optimize AI and rationalize siloed data, the impracticality of a single-platform approach is driving a shift toward open models that allow for greater data control and the use of diverse compute engines.   The focus is moving from databases to governance catalogs, which are becoming crucial in managing open data across organizations. This shift is also changing the landscape of data platforms, which are now seen as tools to drive business outcomes by leveraging governance catalogs to integrate various data types and analytics.   “The move toward open table formats is gaining traction and the point of control in the data platforms wars is shifting from the database to the governance catalog,” Vellante said. “Moreover, as data platforms evolve, we see them increasingly as tools for analytic systems to take action and drive business outcomes.”    Snowflake and Databricks are at the forefront of this trend, each vying for dominance through technical innovation and philosophical approaches. Vellante and Gilbert also reflect on recent customer events and emerging application paradigms that combine data management, open governance and AI leadership.   Find more of this week’s Breaking Analysis.
