Exciting progress from the conda community! Sharded Repodata (CEP 16) is now in beta, delivering up to 10x faster environment solves and 35x reduction in network transfer for conda-forge users. This community-driven innovation demonstrates how open source collaboration continues to advance the Python ecosystem - exactly the kind of improvement that benefits millions of practitioners worldwide. #conda #Python

Python’s rise as the backbone of modern AI brings new pressures for enterprises. In The New Stack, Anaconda Field CTO Steve Croce breaks down why Python’s openness — its greatest strength — requires new paths to address security, performance, auditability and governance. As organizations scale AI, they need clearer visibility into code, dependencies and runtime behavior. Steve explores how intentional governance can help Python continue powering reliable, enterprise-grade AI: https://bit.ly/48NLhlf #python #enterpriseAI #Anaconda

Traditional tools can only take you so far - especially as data volumes grow and analysis becomes more complex. Join us on December 10 for a live webinar featuring John Wengler, Executive Director at CIBC, who transformed his workflows with #Python and Anaconda. Learn how he cut significant time from daily processes while navigating governance requirements in a highly regulated environment. You’ll walk away with: ✔️ Strategies for managing complex datasets with Python ✔️ Approaches to automation that deliver real cost savings ✔️ Tips for addressing internal audit concerns and gaining organizational buy-in ✔️ An overview of Anaconda’s secure enterprise tools for financial services Register today: https://bit.ly/48Cs5py

AI agents only work as well as the knowledge they share. InfoWorld breaks down why a unified knowledge base is essential for multi-agent workflows. Our own VP of Engineering Greg Jennings underscores starting small and layering AI on top of existing systems. Read the full article in InfoWorld: https://bit.ly/44CU0UT

AI agents handle routine tasks easily, but what about the gray areas? Anaconda Senior Developer Relations Engineer Daina Bouquin shows how “human-in-the-loop” agents keep automation efficient while pausing for human judgment when nuance matters. Her LangGraph tutorial walks through building one from scratch — starting simple, then adding Claude to handle more complex, natural-language decisions. 🔗 Ready to build something smart?

Compliance, data sensitivity, and cost challenges are creating friction for enterprises moving AI experiments to deployment. In TechSpective, Anaconda’s VP of AI Product Seth Clark discusses how AI Catalyst helps close that gap—offering transparency, governance, and flexibility through a VPC-first approach and curated open source models. Meet the pragmatic path to making enterprise AI predictable and secure. Read the full story: https://bit.ly/4ioAul1

ICYMI: AI Catalyst launched last week in the Anaconda Platform. The gap we're closing: Teams want to move fast with open source AI, but security reviews, infrastructure setup, and model validation create weeks of delays. What AI Catalyst delivers: → Curated model catalog – Pre-vetted open source models with complete AI Bills of Materials, security assessments, and performance benchmarks → Production-ready optimization – Quantized models that reduce infrastructure costs while maintaining performance → Flexible deployment – Customers on @AWS can run locally for development, deploy to GPU endpoints in their Amazon Virtual Private Cloud for production → Enterprise governance – Custom policies, audit trails, and compliance documentation built in Organizations are using AI Catalyst to move from prototype to production in days instead of months – without compromising on security.
