Inference has quietly overtaken training as the dominant AI workload, now accounting for more than 55% of cloud AI infrastructure spending at $37.5 billion - and it is still accelerating. Yet, developers running these workloads face a stark choice: pay per-token cloud fees that compound as usage scales, or buy hardware locked to proprietary st

Context Management Powers Production-Ready AI Analytics at Enterprise Scale11.3.2026 09:00:00 CET | Press release
GoodData delivers governed semantics, grounded knowledge, guided behavior, and full observability for reliable AI analytics. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / GoodData today introduced Context Management, a governed contextual layer designed to enable production-ready enterprise AI analytics and agents. As organizations deploy AI assistants, copilots, and autonomous agents, they encounter a structural gap: AI lacks enforced business context, governance, and observability. AI pilots demonstrate potential, but moving AI into production exposes the deeper challenge of ensuring answers are consistent, safe, and explainable at scale.

For enterprises, this erodes trust and slows adoption. Many AI analytics platforms rely on prompts, inferred metadata, or loosely integrated document search. Context is sug
