AI Helps Therapists Catch Their Own Cognitive Errors, Analysis Finds

A new analysis by AI scientist Lance Eliot finds that generative AI can help therapists identify their own cognitive errors before, during, and after sessions. The approach uses careful prompt design to deliver non-accusatory feedback, improving treatment outcomes without replacing clinical judgment. The analysis builds on a report by Dr. H. Paul Putman III highlighting common reasoning traps in psychiatric practice.

Microsoft Launches AI Gateway Tier for Azure API Management in Public Preview

Microsoft has launched a dedicated AI Gateway tier for Azure API Management, now in public preview in East US 2 and Sweden Central. The new tier reorganizes the control plane around models, MCP servers, and tools rather than APIs, supporting backends from OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, AWS Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI. It offers centralized cost governance, OpenTelemetry telemetry, and a self-service model for application teams, though questions remain about access key blast radius and full lifecycle governance.

Enterprises buy AI compute faster than they can measure costs

A new VentureBeat Pulse Research survey of 107 enterprises reveals a significant gap between AI infrastructure spending and the ability to track its economics. Most organizations run AI on hyperscalers and model APIs, but the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute they rarely use today. GPU utilization is at 50% or less for 83% of respondents, and fewer than half rigorously track compute costs. A majority plan to switch or add providers within the year.
