What AI model should you use for revenue intelligence? Von says all the big ones, and it will automate mixing and matching for you

What AI model should you use for revenue intelligence? Von says all the big ones, and it will automate mixing and matching for you

Looking at enterprise AI adoption, VentureBeat has anecdotally observed a fairly wide divergence when it comes to specific roles: For those who build—engineers and developers—the arrival of AI has been transformative, moving through the workflow with the speed of tools like Claude Code and Cursor to automate the heavy lifting of syntax and architecture. Yet, for those who sell, the “revenue stack” has remained a fragmented collection of data silos, manual CRM entries, and anecdotal reporting. Von, a new AI platform emerging from the team behind process automation startup Rattle, aims to bridge this gap. By positioning itself not as another “point solution” but as a foundational “intelligence layer,” Von seeks to do for Go-To-Market (GTM) teams what the modern IDE has done for the developer: provide a single, reasoning interface that understands the entire business context. “AI has revolutionized the workflow for people who build things, but there is nothing that has revolutionized the workflow for people who sell those things,” Von CEO Sahil Aggarwal said in a recent video call interview with VentureBeat. …

The San Antonio Spurs Kicked Off Their Playoff Run in Matching Black Suits

The San Antonio Spurs Kicked Off Their Playoff Run in Matching Black Suits

While the suit-with-sneakers look doesn’t always work—we here at GQ are particularly against the combo at weddings—if there was ever a place to try it, I suppose it’d be before a basketball game. In any event, the threatening pregame uniforms did their job: The Spurs dusted the Blazers in a relatively painless 111-98 win, with Wemby supplying 35 points in his first taste of the playoffs. We’re choosing to believe sharpshooter Julian Champagnie’s shimmering chain, sensible handbag, and stylish loafers were more responsible for the victory than his teammates’ casual footwear. Michael Gonzales/Getty Images Rookie guard Dylan Harper, all of 20 years old, was one of the players who laced up his sneakers with the AMIN threads. In an entrance video captured by the NBA, a smirking Harper revealed that he had not put on a suit since getting drafted in June. Here’s to hoping it won’t be his last time either, as a well-tailored rig is a sight for sore eyes in the modern NBA. The only questions left are whether Olynyk, who’s made …

When Suzuki met Suzuki: why a Tokyo dating agency is matching couples with the same name | Japan

When Suzuki met Suzuki: why a Tokyo dating agency is matching couples with the same name | Japan

At the very least, the three men and three women calming their nerves on a Friday evening at a venue in Tokyo know they have one thing in common. Spaced out across booths, they will soon be placed in pairs and given 15 minutes to get to know one another. “Let’s start with a nice ‘hello’ and a big smile,” the emcee says. When they meet they will only need to use their first names – because they all share the same surname. The event is the first in a series that – novelty value aside – aims to skirt Japan’s controversial ban on married couples having separate surnames by getting people with the same surname together. After the participants have confirmed their IDs on an app, the chatter begins and the beer begins to flow. Round one over, the men are asked to move to the next table. Laughter is heard from one of the tables – surely a good sign. At another, the couple get to their feet and help themselves to cakes …

Kris Jenner and Lauren Sánchez spark twin moment in matching looks for glamorous night out

Kris Jenner and Lauren Sánchez spark twin moment in matching looks for glamorous night out

Kris Jenner and Lauren Sánchez twinned at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party on Sunday night, with the duo both opting to wear dramatic black gowns with their hair styled in a neat up-do. Kris, 70, stunned in a black dress with tied shoulder straps, a sweetheart neckline and a tulle-layered skirt that fell to the floor. She added black opera gloves and diamond earrings to complete the look and wore her dark locks in an up-do with bangs and strands of hair framing her face. Meanwhile, Lauren, 56, was glowing in a strapless black gown with extra fabric around the hips and a thigh slit. She accessorized with black heels, an eye-catching diamond necklace and diamond bracelets, and also wore her hair in an up-do like her friend Kris. Both ladies opted for a soft glam makeup look with a light pink lip. © FilmMagicKris looked incredible in the dramatic gown Lauren and Kris have been pals for years, with the pair being pictured together for the first time at a charity event in …

Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams ‘Didn’t Plan’ on Matching Sheer Shirts at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams ‘Didn’t Plan’ on Matching Sheer Shirts at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams continued to exhibit uncanny off-screen compatibility at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party last night, where the Heated Rivalry boys both showed up on the carpet rocking a lightly veiled nip. Per Williams’s stylist, Anastasia Walker, their sartorial synergy was unintentional. “Me and [James Yardley] didn’t plan this lol,” Walker wrote in an Instagram story, tagging Yardley, who is Storrie’s stylist. A heated coincidence, if you will. In the three and a half months since the steamy hockey drama landed on HBO, its stars have become the toast of the fashion world. Storrie quickly inked exclusive deals with Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co. (“I know everyone is fighting over him. And if you fight, I take,” Saint Laurent designer Anthony Vaccarello cheekily told GQ of the signing), while Williams walked in a Dsquared2 show and then became a “friend of the house” at Balenciaga, starring in the brand’s latest campaign. The two, appropriately, were wearing their respective brands to the post-Oscars festivities last night. Connor Storrie, in Saint Laurent, and …

8 Outfit Colour Matching Combinations That Always Work

8 Outfit Colour Matching Combinations That Always Work

The number-one rule of getting dressed is to wear what makes you feel good. If you feel a million bucks wearing a hot-pink blazer and fluorescent green slacks, then hey, you do you.

‘Reacher’ Star Alan Ritchson Talks ‘War Machine’ and Matching Tattoos

‘Reacher’ Star Alan Ritchson Talks ‘War Machine’ and Matching Tattoos

If his breakout success on Prime Video’s global smash Reacher proved anything, it’s that Alan Ritchson always rises to the challenge. (Case in point: On the last season, he faced off with and ultimately defeated a towering foe in the form of Olivier Richters, a 7’2’’, 350-lb. brute who played security guard Paul Masserella aka Paulie.) But his newest project, Netflix’s War Machine from filmmaker Patrick Hughes, demanded new feats of physicality that nearly broke him. “It was hard. I’m not going to lie, this was the most I’ve ever been pushed physically, and it was the most I’ve ever doubted my own ability to finish,” Ritchson revealed to The Hollywood Reporter. Spoiler alert: He finished and the results are currently on streaming, so it’s easy to find evidence to back up his bold statement. War Machine, not to be confused with the Brad Pitt-starrer of the same name on Netflix (more on that below), stars Ritchson as a combat engineer known only as “81.” After witnessing the tragic death of his brother while in …

Kim Jong Un fuels succession buzz with daughter’s matching leather jacket

Kim Jong Un fuels succession buzz with daughter’s matching leather jacket

He said North Korea would continue to take the “toughest stand” against the U.S., but that if Washington dropped its demands for denuclearization, “there is no reason why we cannot get on well.” That leaves the door open for the resumption of diplomacy. President Donald Trump, who met with Kim three times during his first term, has expressed interest in another face-to-face. Kim had more contentious words for U.S. ally South Korea, describing it as his country’s “most hostile” relationship. He dismissed South Korean President Lee Jae Myung’s recent efforts to improve relations, saying the North could “launch any action” if Seoul threatened its security and that its neighbor risked “complete collapse.” The South Korean government said Thursday that it would continue to pursue its policy of peaceful coexistence. Earlier in the week, Kim was re-elected general secretary of the Workers’ Party. His reappointment reinforces that “even amid domestic and external crises, there is no alternative to Kim Jong Un’s leadership,” Lim said. For Kim, the party congress is also an opportunity to reinforce the …

Dressed for succession? Kim Jong Un, daughter fuel speculation with matching coats

Dressed for succession? Kim Jong Un, daughter fuel speculation with matching coats

The Kim family has ruled North Korea with an iron grip for decades, and a cult of personality surrounding their “Paektu bloodline” dominates daily life in the isolated country. Ju Ae has long been seen as the next in line, a perception stoked by a string of recent high-profile outings. Analyst Lim Eul-chul said the jackets – a staple of leader Kim’s wardrobe, especially during key public appearances – were more than a fashion statement. “In North Korea’s political symbolism, that look carries weight – it’s tied to the image of the leader as the ultimate guarantor of national security and future prosperity. “So when that same symbolic attire is put on his young daughter, it’s hard to see it as accidental.” Other photos from the parade showed Ju Ae striding a red carpet next to her father as he received salutes from North Korea’s military top brass. Ju Ae has been clearly “designated as a successor”, South Korea’s national intelligence service said earlier this month. Korean affairs expert Leif-Eric Easley said Ju Ae’s latest …
