Why you need technologists in the age of vibe coding

Friends,

Your weekly AI briefing is here—designed to help you respond to AI, not react to the hype. No curve-balls, no strategic U-turns. Just clarity.

In the week that was quite after non-stop releases from all the big AI companies last week, we have a moment to reflect on

🔥 URGENT PRIORITIES

If you are using MCP servers in a production setting (Live with your customers) you need to conduct a security assessment. It is unlikely that this will impact you if you are not running an AI company at the cutting edge of technology.

🎯 STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS

No major shifts.

If you’re already:

✅ Training your organisation to use AI tools

 ✅ Developing your AI tech stack.

✅ have an AI strategy …you’re outpacing 95% of peers.

🤓 GEEK OUT 

Even AIs need a training programme

AI models may seem all-knowing, but they still have blind spots. Scale AI’s new Scale Evaluation tool helps AI companies test their models, find weaknesses, and fine-tune them with better training data. One big issue? Many AI models struggle with reasoning, especially in non-English languages.

Why it matters: The stronger AI gets, the more useful it becomes for business. Tools like this ensure AI keeps improving—so SMEs can trust it to deliver better insights, automation, and efficiency.

Understanding entire industries will be powerful

Siemens is developing an Industrial Foundation Model designed to understand and process engineering-specific language and data. This generative AI aims to enhance human-machine collaboration by addressing complex industrial use cases across the value chain.

Why it matters: This is the future—expect AI models trained for whole industry value chains to outperform general AI in key areas.

🎨 Weekend Playground: Try Gemini 2.5

Whatever is keeping you up at night, ask Gemini to help and see what happens.

✅ See how it compares to Chat GPT.
✅ See how it works with Google Docs.

Google have not been getting the AI press attention that Open AI et al have been and they have released a product that integrates with Google workspace and is very impressive.

Have a great week,
