No separate backends, no context switching.

He explores why “start with the problem” thinking limits AI strategy, how visible strategy and relational leadership can unlock better transformation, and why human connection may become more valuable—not less—in an AI-enabled world. A thoughtful conversation on escaping AI career anxiety, building resilient networks, and creating value beyond efficiency.

"We're doing cutting-edge AI, focused on real translational impact: getting our research over the wall and into production." Ameet Talwalkar, Datadog's Chief Scientist, shares what it took to build the AI Research Lab from the ground up — and what makes DAIR different from traditional research teams. At Datadog, research ships. Recent work from the lab includes Toto 2.0, open-weights time series forecasting models ranked on leading benchmarks, and ARFBench, a new benchmark for evaluating AI on real incident data.

See how Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) in Cribl Lake allows teams to connect directly to Azure Blob Storage and instantly search data in place — without moving, duplicating, or rehydrating telemetry. In this demo, Cribl Product Manager Risk Salsa walks through setup, dataset creation, and how to run fast investigations across your Azure-hosted data using Cribl Search.
