Summary of Read Full Report (PDF)

Analyzes O'Reilly's online learning platform usage data from January 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, to identify key technology trends for 2025. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially its applications and related skills like prompt engineering, dominates the findings, showing significant growth despite potential disillusionment.

Software development trends reveal a shift away from microservices and towards AI-integrated tools. Security emerges as another major area of growth, with increasing interest in security governance and certifications.

Finally, the report also examines the impact of new platform initiatives, such as badging and a generative AI-powered Q&A tool, and offers predictions for the coming year.

Shadow AI Is Already Inside Every Government Agency

Unsanctioned AI use is already routine across federal agencies, and in government the exposure is statutory rather than commercial — Privacy Act records sent to commercial providers, federal records generated in systems the agency cannot subpoena, supply-chain restrictions under EO 13873, and mosaic classification spillage. This post maps each exposure to its legal basis and gives the data-classification tiers that decide which workloads need managed cloud, agency-controlled infrastructure, or a fully air-gapped deployment.

The Open-Weight Tipping Point: Two 2-Trillion-Parameter Models

Two models above 2 trillion parameters became available as open weights in a single week: Moonshot's Kimi K3 at 2.8T with a 1M-token context, and Alibaba's Qwen 3.8-Max at 2.4T with 95B active per token. This post does the memory arithmetic on what it actually takes to serve models that size, prices the alternatives, and explains why the durable advantage is model-agnostic infrastructure rather than any single model.

AI Agent Security Is an Infrastructure Problem, Not a Feature

Uber's security lead says securing AI agents is what keeps him up at night, and Google just shipped agent evaluation tooling to production. The tooling layer is maturing; the infrastructure question underneath it is not. This post explains why you cannot fully secure an agent whose reasoning runs on someone else's servers, and gives the five-question perimeter test to run on any agent platform before you sign.

Q2 2026 Earnings: AI Infrastructure Pays — For Whoever Owns It

The quarter ending June 30, 2026 settled the question of whether AI infrastructure pays off: AWS grew 37% to $42.2B, Google Cloud 82% to $24.8B, Azure crossed $100B annualized, and Copilot passed 30 million paid seats. This post does the arithmetic on what those seats cost a 10,000-person enterprise versus token-priced and self-hosted alternatives, and shows where the return actually lands.
