The Future of AI is Hybrid: TECHnalysis Research Survey Report

Everyone knows that AI is reshaping the very foundations of enterprise computing. But what hasn’t been as clear is the fact that it’s a Hybrid AI model—involving the major public cloud providers, on-premise data centers/private clouds and edge computing devices—that are driving the biggest change. The latest TECHnalysis Research Hybrid AI Study, which surveyed over 1,000 IT decision-makers from medium and large organizations across ten US industries, offers a compelling snapshot of this transition. The findings reveal that the era of “cloud-first” thinking for AI workloads and applications is rapidly giving way to a more nuanced, hybrid approach—one that balances the strengths of public cloud, private infrastructure, and edge computing.

HP Pushes Work Experience Forward

With the stunning rise of autonomous agents like OpenClaw and Anthropic’s Claude Work as well as the staggering variety of opinions on what impact they will have on the future of work, it’s probably not terribly surprising to see renewed interest in the computers we all use at work. Toss in the fact that Intel just released the commercial vPro versions of its new Core Ultra Series 3 (code named Panther Lake) processors and, well, you have the perfect storm to generate news on business PCs. Or, in HP’s case, a nicely timed opportunity to debut a wide range of commercial PCs, notebooks, software and services and talk about the role they play in the Future of Work. And that’s exactly what the company did at their annual HP Imagine event...
