As we step into January, I would like to recognize what a truly remarkable year of achievement it was for both the AI industry and LXT in 2024, and take a look at exciting developments to come in 2025.
The AI industry saw unprecedented growth and innovation in 2024, fueled by generative AI. Google’s Gemini models, Amazon’s AI-powered personalization, and Salesforce’s Einstein extended powerful AI capabilities across their platforms and tools. Apple enhanced Siri with on-device AI, introducing its Apple Intelligence-powered iPhone. Microsoft continues to revolutionize productivity with Azure OpenAI and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Meta launched Llama 3, its advanced language model, and expanded AI across social platforms for enhanced engagement and content creation.
AI models are being adopted across industries—from healthcare to finance—for improved efficiency and innovation. And the emphasis is shifting toward focused, specialized AI, requiring high-quality, domain-specific data to address very specialized challenges. This combination of broad adoption and tailored development is shaping the next phase of AI’s transformative potential.
