“Source code became almost free, like cheap and not important. And binaries became king because this is the outcome,” says Shlomi Ben Haim, co-founder and CEO of JFrog. Ben Haim joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh in this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast to discuss the impact of large-language-model coding agents, the challenges of keeping up with model guardrails, and why software supply-chain security and governance are top of mind for modern enterprises. Ben Haim explains how JFrog acts as the infrastructure and control plane for developer workflows, using JFrog Boost, a Model Context Protocol registry and JFrog Curation to help customers optimize token consumption, block malicious packages and automate software governance without compromising speed.

“The minute it worked, we actually started to use smaller models for the things we knew that it worked and see what they could accomplish at a fraction of the price,” says Matt Hicks, CEO of Red Hat, in a discussion with Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Technology Analyst Anurag Rana. In this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast, the pair discuss Red Hat’s role inside IBM, the durability of hybrid cloud and why OpenShift, virtualization and AI are becoming key growth drivers. Hicks explains how Red Hat is applying AI across engineering and business operations, using smaller models, containers and OpenShift to help customers build more flexible, cost-efficient AI infrastructure.

“Data centers are here to stay, and the world is going to need them as AI adoption accelerates,” says Steven Siesser, partner at Lowenstein Sandler, chair of the firm’s private equity practice and co-lead of its data center practice, in conversation with Bloomberg Intelligence’s Associate Director of Research Alexandra Davidov and Senior Technology Analyst Anurag Rana. In this episode of Tech Disruptors, they discuss how AI data centers are reshaping infrastructure finance, from hyperscaler-backed leases and neo-cloud credit risk to private equity, private credit and sovereign capital. Siesser explains why power, community acceptance and supply-chain constraints remain key bottlenecks, while long-term leases and hyperscaler demand are reshaping how lenders underwrite the build-out.

The cybersecurity industry is facing unprecedented challenges as AI models become more capable. On this episode of Tech Disruptors, SentinelOne co-founder and CEO Tomer Weingarten talks about deploying security for AI agents and the evolution of the security operations center (SOC) with LLMs. He joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh to discuss the impact of Anthropic Mythos, M&A in cybersecurity and the changing nature of attacks as tools become more sophisticated.

Matt Fitzpatrick, CEO of Invisible Technologies, joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Mandeep Singh on this episode of the Tech Disruptors podcast to discuss the use of reinforcement learning by frontier model providers for training, as well as the company’s enterprise business. They explore reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), agentic AI and self-improvement, the evolution of large language models, coding agents and contact centers.
