From web to Artificial Intelligence: Building the missing links

For years, the web intelligence industry has been a reliable support system for major data-powered developments across industries. As big data kept getting bigger, the infrastructure requirements to ensure sustained data flow became harder. In recent years, AI has been taking the biggest leaps forward. The story of how the web intelligence industry responded to the requirements of a constantly increasing scale and complexity is also the story of the most recent crucial steps forward in AI, specifically, and technology in general.

Infrastructure to Handle Everything All At Once

AI companies entered 2025 racing to build multimodal tools capable of reliably and effectively handling audio and video data. Such ambition creates immediate pressure on data infrastructure. Video datasets are exponentially “heavier” than written text, more difficult to process, and demand far greater resources to gather at the scale required for training advanced models.

We have predicted early that multimodal data ...
