The more autonomous AI becomes, the more binaries it will create. The more binaries created, the more security is required at the gate, and the more governance is needed before deployment to production. 🐸 https://bit.ly/4seEMPq #JFrog #LiquidSw

At SwampUP, Alan Shimel led an insightful discussion with Justin Boitano of NVIDIA, Rahul Tripathi of ServiceNow, and Shlomi Ben Haim, CEO of JFrog, on the journey from AI experimentation to real transformation. The panel highlighted that AI’s true value goes beyond the models themselves. Its strength comes from the ecosystem by bringing together infrastructure, data workflows, and the software supply chain to generate actionable intelligence. By automating repetitive work, AI empowers teams to focus on high-impact initiatives and achieve up to 10x velocity without replacing human creativity. NVIDIA’s verdict was clear: adoption is moving faster than most realize. Enterprises that embrace accelerated computing and agentic systems today will be the ones to redefine their industries tomorrow. ▶️ Watch the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/dxcBuK6c #AI #EnterpriseAI #AITransformation #NVIDIA

Today, I want to share with you something both massive and inescapable — a force reshaping software development as we know it. Our Co-Founder and CEO Shlomi Ben Haim is writing about the wave — the tidal wave — of binaries. Not metaphorical. Literal. Real. Growing exponentially. As AI advances, as automation replaces hand-coded source lines, the sheer number of compiled artifacts — the executable outputs — is skyrocketing. In this new world, you need a single source of truth — a system of record — not just for source code, but for every binary that flows through your software supply chain. Check it out via the link in Shlomi's post below.
