New recognition program showcases exemplary underlying technologies that are the backbone of AI innovation

Shelton, CT, February 23, 2026 — TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities through in-person and digital marketing programs, today announced the winners of the 2025 AI Core Technology Awards, presented by TMCnet.

As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across every industry, the spotlight is increasingly shifting to the core technologies that make AI possible at scale. From model development and training infrastructure to orchestration, data management, deployment frameworks, and optimization platforms, these foundational technologies are what power real-world AI applications and measurable business outcomes.

The AI Core Technology Awards recognize the platforms, frameworks, and underlying technologies that enable organizations to build, deploy, govern, and scale AI solutions with speed, reliability, and trust. Rather than focusing on end-user applications, these awards honor the architectural backbone of AI innovation—the critical layers upon which today’s most impactful AI solutions are built.

Winning solutions demonstrate technical excellence, architectural strength, and real-world applicability, empowering enterprises, developers, and solution providers to operationalize AI across use cases such as automation, analytics, customer experience, cybersecurity, IoT, and beyond. Judges evaluated entries based on innovation, scalability, performance, and their ability to accelerate AI adoption across diverse industries.

“The rapid advancement of AI depends on the strength of its core technologies,” said Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), CEO of TMC. “The recipients of the 2025 AI Core Technology Awards are enabling the next generation of AI applications by providing the platforms and infrastructure that turn AI potential into real-world impact. These companies are shaping how AI is built, deployed, and scaled across the global economy.”

Winners of the 2025 AI Core Technology Awards are recognized as leaders delivering the foundational technologies driving the future of artificial intelligence.
