Rajiv Menon

Rajiv covers the AI laboratories and the cloud giants that sell their wares. Trained as a software engineer before turning to journalism, he reads model cards and pricing pages so readers do not have to, and is interested chiefly in the gap between what a product launch claims and what a mid-sized firm can actually buy, deploy and support.
