About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

CHAI, the leading social AI platform, has significantly outperformed OpenAI’s ChatGPT in key mobile engagement metrics, according to new data published in a recent TechCrunch report analyzing the competitive AI application landscape.

Superior User Engagement

Drawing on insights from mobile intelligence provider Sensor Tower, the analysis reveals that CHAI users spend, on average, 196% more time on the mobile app compared to ChatGPT users. Additionally, CHAI users engage in 30% more sessions, demonstrating the platform’s exceptional ability to foster deeper, more sustained user interactions.

SOTA AI Training Strategies

CHAI has implemented many novel strategies and optimized them for the social AI setting, such as best-of-N sampling, DPO / SimPO / CPO / GRPO. Instead of relying solely on maximum likelihood training, those strategies steer LLMs using real human preference signals, improve ELO scores, and lead to more engaging conversations and longer Day-30 retention.

CHAI’s Journey in Cutting-Edge AI Research

AI-assisted creation results in +56% higher quality prompts, and +33% more AI being created by users.

2024 – Democratizing AI Training

Phase I of user-controlled SFT has begun. Power users are able to train AI with performance almost 2x the engagement rate of in-house AI systems.

2025 – The Future of Personalized AI

Work has commenced on user-generated AI (UGAI). This will match the power of SFT + RLHF and put it in the hands of users, so that each agent on the platform will be served by a unique, user-trained AI.

Is CHAI AI safe? CHAI has implemented a range of safety features that allow users to engage in dynamic chats while encouraging them to stay within established guidelines. By building better AI, CHAI aims to enhance user value and experience.

What makes CHAI special? CHAI is designed to be the most engaging social AI, delivering highly entertaining conversations. Many users rely on it to craft interactive stories and immersive experiences.

Why do people love CHAI? CHAI employs advanced AI techniques to increase the entertainment value of its bots. Users chat with AI to write interactive novels and have engaging conversations, supported by a variety of genres that appeal to avid novel readers.

Sometimes regarded as the best free AI chatbot, CHAI is paving its way to widespread adoption of conversational social AI for entertainment.
