Chroma CEO Jeff Huber shares how true engineering, context quality, and developer experience are transforming AI application development beyond the hype of long context windows and RAG.

This week I was excited to finally get my hands on a new PC for my personal use. I purchased one of the new ARM-based Surface Laptop Copilot+ PCs. As a developer focused on .NET and Azure, I was eager to see how well this sleek new machine could handle my day-to-day workflow. While performance and battery life have impressed me so far, I’ve run into a few bumps in the road when it comes to local development, especially in areas that rely on platform-specific tooling or containerized environments.
