What changed in the week of 9 June 2025

At the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit in Mumbai, industry leaders tackled critical issues like recruiting top talent, clearing up AI misconceptions, and navigating fragmented data ecosystems. Sessions emphasized the growing importance of intelligent decision-making frameworks and reinforced the value of data-driven strategies in today’s business landscape.

Krutrim has officially introduced Kruti, India’s first multilingual agentic AI assistant built to handle everyday tasks in 13 Indian languages. Kruti blends advanced conversational intelligence with contextual memory and API integrations, empowering users to book rides, order groceries, pay bills, and manage daily activities through simple voice or text commands. This launch marks a significant milestone in creating culturally tailored AI experiences for millions of Indian users.

Databricks announced the public preview of Lakebase, its fully managed PostgreSQL engine embedded directly into the Lakehouse platform. Lakebase is designed for sub-10 millisecond latency and up to 10,000 queries per second, providing fast transactional workloads alongside data lake analytics. It also supports Git-style branching to enable safe experimentation and reproducible pipelines, making it easier for teams to manage complex AI data workflows. The service integrates with Unity Catalog for governance, offering unified data permissions across lakehouse and relational assets.

OpenAI has launched o3‑pro, an enhanced version of its flagship o3 reasoning model, now available to ChatGPT Pro and Team users and in the API. Designed for reliability over speed, o3‑pro excels in precision-heavy tasks, including advanced coding, math, science, and thoughtful instruction-following. It features expanded tool support—web search, file analysis, visual reasoning, Python execution, and personalized memory—though response times are longer than lighter models. In OpenAI's internal “4/4 reliability” benchmarks, o3‑pro outperformed o1‑pro and base o3. Initially, certain features like temporary chats, image generation, and Canvas are disabled. Model pricing via API is $20 per million input tokens and $80 per million output tokens.

At the Data + AI Summit in San Francisco, Databricks unveiled "Agent Bricks" (beta)—modular templates to quickly build AI agents—along with LakeFlow Designer to simplify ETL and ML pipelines, and MLflow 3.0 to boost model tracking at scale. They also enhanced security, compliance, and governance integrations.

Apple introduced Live Translation, enabling real-time voice and text translation in FaceTime, Messages, and Phone, powered entirely by on-device AI. This feature maintains user privacy by handling translations locally and offers seamless multilingual communication.

Apple introduced Liquid Glass, a translucent and dynamic interface design spanning iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe, watchOS 26, tvOS 26, and visionOS 26. This fresh visual language brings glass-like reflections and responsive layering to widgets, controls, and icons—drawing design inspiration from visionOS and the Vision Pro headset.
