MILL5

On October 8th, MILL5's Rich Crane will be attending Dev Days Boston in Cambridge, MA.

As GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted development continue to reshape how software is designed and delivered, events like Dev Days bring together the people helping define what that evolution looks like in practice.

Rich will be there connecting with fellow technology leaders and developers, exchanging perspectives on where AI-powered development is headed, and sharing insights from the work MILL5 is leading across AI and modern software engineering.

U.S. equity markets are moving toward a nearly continuous trading day. Is your organization ready for what that means beyond the trading desk?

With 23×5 trading expected to begin December 6, 2026, firms will need to make important business decisions about how and when they participate, which clients and markets they support, and how they manage risk when liquidity looks very different overnight.

Those decisions also come with significant technology implications. Trading platforms, market data, risk and credit controls, surveillance, infrastructure, and operational support must be prepared to function reliably across an extended market day.

For buy-side firms, broker-dealers, and sell-side organizations, 23×5 is not simply about extending trading hours. It requires the business, technology, and operating model to be ready together.

In our latest article, MILL5 explores the key considerations business and technology leaders should be evaluating as the industry prepares for this shift.

This past weekend, members of the MILL5 team in Medellín came together to participate in Carrera de las Rosas, an annual race dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

For our team, participating is about much more than crossing the finish line. It is an opportunity to support an important cause, honor and remember loved ones affected by breast cancer, and stand alongside the many individuals and families whose lives have been touched by the disease.

We are proud of everyone from MILL5 who joined thousands of participants to run with purpose and show their support.

A great evening discussing the practical realities of AI governance, privacy, and compliance.

Thank you to Myna Partners for bringing together leaders across legal, compliance, privacy, and technology for an important conversation.

We were pleased to have MILL5's Shri Bhupathi join the panel and share his perspective on responsible AI adoption and the foundations organizations need to put it into practice.

Today, MILL5's Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Shri Bhupathi, will join Myna Partners and fellow leaders across privacy, compliance, legal, and technology for a timely discussion on the realities of governing AI within organizations.

The panel will explore where AI can create meaningful value, where new risks can emerge, and what organizations should have in place as they introduce AI-powered tools into privacy and compliance functions.

We are looking forward to an insightful conversation and connecting with others navigating many of these same challenges.

AI slop is not just a content quality problem. In production environments, it can be a warning sign that AI is scaling faster than an organization can effectively govern, monitor, and improve it.

As prompts, retrieval pipelines, source data, integrations, and business conditions change, AI performance can change with them. Without continuous evaluation and observability, issues like poor retrieval, hallucinations, outdated responses, and declining accuracy can quietly become operational risks.

In this article, MILL5 explores what AI slop reveals about production AI, how drift can affect RAG and other enterprise AI systems, and five priorities technology leaders should consider to keep AI reliable as adoption scales.

Continue reading to learn how organizations can strengthen AI governance, observability, and accountability while protecting the business value of their AI investments.

Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11th, we remember the lives lost, honor the courage of the first responders and countless others who stepped forward, and reflect on the strength and unity shown in the face of tragedy.

MILL5 joins communities across the country in honoring all those forever impacted by September 11, 2001. We will never forget.

A question worth asking at your next service review: Is our technology organization better because this partner is here?

SLA attainment, ticket volume, and response time are all measurable, and none of them answer it. An environment can be well supported and still grow more expensive, more fragile, and harder to change.

Five questions that get closer to the answer, in our latest article:

- Does your partner find opportunities before you ask?
- Is the environment measurably better than it was six months ago?
- Can they bring the right expertise as the problem changes?
- Is the relationship creating capacity for your team?
- Can they connect operational activity to outcomes that matter?

The full article works through what a strong answer to each question looks like, so you have a practical framework for assessing the partners you already work with and evaluating the ones you are considering. Continue reading below.
