Higher education institutions have always been at the forefront of innovative approaches to learning. A new era of this innovation dawned on Oct. 29, 1969, when a computer at UCLA sent a message to Stanford University across ARPANET, the first packet-switched network, marking the beginning of decentralized, node-based network communication. This leadership continues today as universities adopt technologies that together form the connected campus. What Is the Connected Campus? A connected campus supports improved learning experiences, campus operations and overall decision-making by university…

AI startups stopped selling subscriptions. They charge per query, per app, per token, and hit $100M ARR in months like Emergent. Lovable and Cursor crossed hundreds of millions with teams under 100 and over $1M ARR per employee. Median AI startups reach $1M ARR in 11 months while old SaaS took years. If your revenue ties to usage, are you tracking retention or only headline ARR?
If your model is hallucinating about your company docs, fine-tuning is usually not the fix. That’s the trap. A lot of teams see wrong answers about internal files and assume they need to retrain the model. But fine-tuning changes behavior, not factual recall of constantly changing company knowledge. It can help with tone, structure, or broad domain patterns. It is not the best tool for making a model reliably remember your latest return policy, pricing sheet, or product catalog. For that, you usually want retrieval. In other words: fine-tuning teaches patterns, retrieval supplies facts. So if the issue is accuracy on specific documents, give the model better access to the right context instead of trying to bake those facts into its parameters. It is cheaper, easier to update, and much more controllable. Mixing those two up is one of the fastest ways to waste time and budget in AI. Have you seen teams make this mistake already?
