IBM and Riken unveil first IBM Quantum System Two Outside of the U.S.

IBM (IBM) and RIKEN, a national research laboratory in Japan, unveiled the first IBM Quantum System Two ever to be deployed outside of the United States and beyond an IBM Quantum Data Center. IBM Quantum System Two at RIKEN is powered by IBM's 156-qubit IBM Quantum Heron, the company's best performing quantum processor to-date. IBM Heron's quality as measured by the two-qubit error rate, across a 100-qubit layered circuit, is 3×10-3 (with the best two-qubit error being 1×10-3) – which is 10 times better than the previous generation 127-qubit IBM Quantum Eagle. IBM Heron's speed, as measured by the CLOPS metric is 250,000, which reflects another 10x improvement in the past year, over IBM Eagle. At a scale of 156 qubits, with these quality and speed metrics, Heron is the most performant quantum processor in the world. This latest Heron is capable of running quantum circuits that are beyond brute-force simulations on classical computers, and its connection to Fugaku will enable RIKEN teams to use quantum-centric supercomputing approaches to push forward research on advanced algorithms, such as fundamental chemistry problems.

Here's How IBM's Small AI Vision Model Outperformed OpenAI and Google (GOOGL)

IBM's newest AI model, Granite Vision 3.3 2B, earned second place on the OCRBench leaderboard, which made it the best-performing multimodal model with fewer than 7 billion parameters. This is part of IBM's bigger plan to develop AI models that understand the world through multiple senses. Indeed, Granite Vision is designed to understand visual data such as charts, tables, handwritten notes, and images in documents, which are the types of things many people interact with at work every day. This comes after its new speech recognition model also showed impressive results. Don't Miss TipRanks' Half-Year Sale Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off!

To test how well these models understand visual content, the AI industry uses a benchmark called OCRBench. It measures how accurately a model can read text, recognize key information, understand math written by hand, and answer detailed questions about what it sees. Each model is tested with 1,000 questions, where every answer must contain at least four symbols to make sure the results are meaningful. Granite Vision 3.3 2B performed especially well in reading handwritten math and answering scene-related questions. It even outperformed larger models from companies like Google (GOOGL), OpenAI, and Meta (META), which demonstrates just how effective IBM's training approach was. Interestingly, IBM made key updates to this version of Granite Vision. In fact, the team added a new encoder and trained the model using more document-focused examples that were specifically chosen to match IBM's business needs. Researcher Rogerio Feris explained that the model is not only powerful but also small and efficient, therefore making it easier and cheaper to use. Looking ahead, the IBM team believes that models like Granite Vision could begin to reason and act on visual information without detailed instructions. What Is the Target Price for IBM? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on IBM stock based on seven Buys, five Holds, and two Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average IBM price target of $269.46 per share implies 8.6% downside risk.

Oracle Stock Climbs on Multi-Billion Dollar Cloud Breakthrough

June 30 - Shares of Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) climbed more than 5% to an all-time high Monday after a regulatory filing revealed a cloud services agreement projected to bring in over $30 billion annually beginning in fiscal year 2028. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 10 Warning Signs with ORCL. The filing, submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, indicated that CEO Safra Catz is expected to highlight the deal during a company-wide meeting later in the day. While details about the client or contract length were not disclosed, the filing emphasized the scale and future revenue impact of the agreement. Catz noted in prepared remarks that Oracle is starting fiscal 2026 on strong footing, citing continued momentum in its MultiCloud database business, which is growing at a rate of more than 100% year-over-year. The large-scale agreement is one of several signed in recent months, but it is not expected to impact current fiscal guidance. Oracle has gained more than 33% year to date, boosted by demand for cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence technologies. The company recently launched major AI initiatives, including its Stargate project with OpenAI and SoftBank, and a separate collaboration with IBM (NYSE:IBM). The new deal reinforces Oracle's long-term growth trajectory as it deepens its footprint in cloud services. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
