Redferrin has released a new song, “If I Was California”, marking the first release from his upcoming 2026 project. The track reflects a stylistic shift toward 1990s and early 2000s country influences, moving away from heavier production in favor of an organic, live-band sound. Pedal steel, banjo, and fiddle shape the arrangement, highlighting a more traditional approach rooted in country music fundamentals.
Co-written by Redferrin with Pete Good, Brinley Addington, Scott Stepakoff, and Jake Saghi, the mid-tempo song centers on a relationship shaped by distance and differing paths. “If I Was California” contrasts West Coast imagery with the Tennessee landscapes Redferrin calls home. The song was recorded at the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, continuing a full-circle creative connection to the artist’s earlier work.
Fresh from the release of their album ‘Boycott Heaven’, indie pop favorites The Format have shared a powerful new standalone single, “The Bar Is Set So Low”, now available here. The song arrives as a Bandcamp-exclusive charity release, with 100 percent of proceeds directed to organizations supporting immigrant communities across the United States. It stands as a direct and heartfelt extension of the band’s renewed creative era.
Written by Nate Ruess and Sam Means and produced by Brendan O’Brien, the track carries the same melodic urgency and emotional clarity that has long defined The Format. The song’s directness lands immediately, pairing a stomping rhythm with lyrics shaped by real-world grief and solidarity. The recording captures an unfiltered intensity that feels alive and present from the first note.
Originally written during the sessions for ‘Boycott Heaven’, the song gained new meaning through live acoustic performances during recent in-store shows. Those moments turned the track into a shared emotional release, connecting audiences through collective reflection and resolve. The response was immediate and deeply affirming, reinforcing the song’s purpose beyond the album format.
“The Bar Is Set So Low” now arrives as both a musical statement and a call to action. Its release channels empathy into tangible support, reinforcing the band’s commitment to using their platform with intention. The song resonates as urgent, human, and necessary, offering connection and care through music at a moment when it matters most.
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario is pleased to announce a special in-suite exhibit in celebration of Black History Month, featuring collections from the Canada Black Music Archives, Black Diasporas TkarontoToronto, and the Archives of Ontario. It will showcase the rich contributions of diverse Black communities to Ontario’s cultural heritage.
Featured Exhibitions:
Canada Black Music Archives (CBMA) will be sharing materials from its collection and from its exhibit B’LACK THEN: Muted Melodies, which highlight the untold stories of 23 Black artists through photographs, albums, newspaper clippings, films, artifacts, and other materials.
Black Diasporas Tkaronto-Toronto traces life journeys of people of African ancestry through a multifaceted, immersive, and interactive installation that brings together a curated set of short community-led films and oral history narratives, exemplifying the diversity of experiences of the 265,000+ people from the African diaspora living in TkarontoToronto.
The Archives of Ontario will share a selection of images from its forthcoming on-site exhibition Illuminate Black: Shining Light on the Black Presence in Ontario, which explores the rich and complex histories of Black communities in Ontario from the earliest arrivals to the present day. The collection highlights themes including Black joy, Black culture and Black resilience.
“During Black History Month, this cultural gathering offers a unique opportunity to celebrate and honour the lasting contributions of Black communities that have shaped Ontario’s history and social fabric”, stated the Honourable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.
The exhibit will take place in the Lieutenant Governor’s Suite at Queen’s Park from February 11 to 13, 2026.
Maisie Peters releases “My Regards,” the lead single from her recently announced new album ‘Florescence.’ The song finds Peters embracing her power and claiming her man while radiating the assured glow of being truly loved. “My Regards feels powerful, tongue in cheek, sexy and funny, all of which I feel are parts of myself I hadn’t really gotten to explore much musically up until this album,” Peters explains. “I was inspired by a lot of the country greats and their ‘stand by your man songs’, and so I thought I’d write my own modern day version; however in this song I get to play the role of fierce protector instead of simpering love interest, which is so often how women have been depicted in relationships throughout history.”
The music video marks Amelia Dimoldenberg’s directorial debut, featuring Peters as a security guard protecting a movie star played by Benito Skinner in a modern spin on the 1992 classic ‘The Bodyguard.’ “From the moment I heard the track, I knew we had to lean into her gift for storytelling,” Dimoldenberg shares. “I thought it would be interesting to subvert the ‘possessive girlfriend’ trope by making Maisie a literal bodyguard. It felt like a fun way to heighten the narrative.” ‘Florescence’ arrives May 15, co-produced with two-time Grammy winner Ian Fitchuck and featuring collaborations with Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford. The record is a meditation on how the right love can help heal the wrong ones, exploring perspective, self-realisation, healing, and learning how to flourish. Peters embarks on her Before The Bloom theatre tour March 1 at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, traveling through Australia, East Asia, Europe, the UK, America, and Canada.
Private LLMs are becoming a big deal in healthcare for one simple reason: most organizations can’t (and shouldn’t) send protected health information into a public chatbot and hope for the best. A “private” LLM approach usually means the model is deployed in a controlled environment (your cloud tenant, VPC, or on-prem), with tighter governance, auditability, and options to fine-tune or ground responses on internal clinical content.
Below are five companies that come up often when healthcare teams want generative AI benefits without giving up data control.
LLM.co
LLM.co positions itself around private, compliant LLM deployments built for regulated industries, including healthcare, with an emphasis on keeping organizational data protected and under customer control. For healthcare use cases, that typically translates into safer handling of PHI, clearer separation between your proprietary data and the broader internet, and more predictable workflows for things like clinical documentation support, intake and routing, operational analytics, and internal knowledge assistance.
The practical advantage of a private LLM vendor in this category is that it’s easier to design policies around data retention, access control, and “where the model runs,” which matters when your security team and compliance officer need firm answers. In other words, it’s less about flashy demos and more about building an AI capability you can actually deploy inside a real hospital or health system environment.
Hippocratic AI
Hippocratic AI is frequently discussed as a healthcare-first generative AI company with a strong focus on safety boundaries. A key point in their positioning is that their agents are designed for healthcare conversations while avoiding diagnosis or prescribing, which can help organizations reduce risk in patient-facing or patient-support interactions.
They also publicly emphasize safety and evaluation, including structured approaches to validating model behavior in healthcare contexts, which is exactly the kind of thing clinical leaders want to see before rolling out anything patient-adjacent. If your goal is to use LLM-style agents for outreach, post-discharge check-ins, adherence support, or other non-diagnostic patient communications, a safety-forward approach can be a deciding factor—especially when you need escalation paths to humans and consistent behavior under ambiguity.
John Snow Labs
If your organization is looking for domain-tuned language models and clinical NLP capabilities that align with healthcare realities (medical terminology, clinical note patterns, entity extraction, and downstream analytics), John Snow Labs is often shortlisted. They explicitly market healthcare LLM offerings and highlight reproducible benchmarking as part of their story, which matters because healthcare buyers are tired of vague “it’s amazing” claims without measurable performance.
For private deployments, many healthcare orgs care less about having the biggest general model and more about having a dependable model that performs well on medical tasks, can be deployed in a controlled environment, and integrates into existing data stacks. This is especially relevant for research, coding support, clinical text processing, and internal tooling where accuracy, traceability, and validation matter.
Cohere
Cohere is best known for enterprise LLM deployments, including options specifically marketed as “private deployments” where interactions can stay within a customer-controlled environment. That’s appealing in healthcare settings where data residency, vendor risk, and governance controls are non-negotiable.
In practice, companies in this category are often chosen by healthcare-adjacent teams (payers, revenue cycle, providers with large operations groups) that want to build internal copilots, automate document-heavy workflows, or power agentic processes—without sending sensitive content into a public endpoint. If your priority is enterprise-grade deployment flexibility plus security posture (rather than a “healthcare brand” in the marketing), Cohere can fit well, particularly when you already have mature security and platform engineering teams.
SambaNova Systems
While some vendors focus on the “model + workflow” layer, SambaNova Systems is often discussed more in the context of private, high-performance enterprise AI deployments—useful when healthcare organizations want strong control over where the model runs and how data is handled. This can be relevant for systems that prefer on-prem or tightly isolated environments, or for organizations that want clearer ownership boundaries around models trained or tuned on private data.
For healthcare, this kind of approach can be attractive when you’re building an internal generative AI platform to serve multiple departments (clinical ops, compliance, finance, analytics) and you need infrastructure designed for secure deployment patterns rather than a consumer-style SaaS experience. It’s not the only way to do “private LLM,” but it’s a valid route for organizations that treat AI as core infrastructure.
Conclusion
The “best” private LLM company for healthcare depends on what you’re actually deploying: patient-facing support agents, internal clinical tooling, medical text analytics, or a platform layer that multiple departments will share.
In general, look for (1) clear deployment options (VPC/on-prem), (2) strong security and governance features, (3) evidence of healthcare-relevant performance, and (4) realistic workflow integration—because in healthcare, the rollout details matter just as much as the model.

Country music maverick Gavin Adcock releases new song “Colorblind” today. Written by Adcock, Colton Venner and Derek Bahr, the track marks his first release of 2026. “It’s about losing someone you shoulda cared more for, and not realizing how much color she brought to your life,” Adcock says. The song arrives with the promise of much more music to come this year from the Georgia native.
Adcock performs tonight at the EA Sports Madden Bowl as part of Super Bowl LX week in San Francisco. Last year, two songs from his album ‘Own Worst Enemy’ were featured on the Madden NFL 26 Soundtrack. The MusicRow Awards Discovery Artist of the Year nominee has built serious momentum, with American Songwriter noting that he “is not only releasing great music, but is building a career reminiscent of artists like Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and more.”
The artist hits the road as support on 16 dates of Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour 2026. He also has multiple festival appearances lined up, including Stagecoach in Indio, California. Adcock recently appeared on the cover of MusicRow’s 2026 Touring & Next Big Thing Issue. His album ‘Own Worst Enemy’ arrived as the number one Country debut album on the Billboard Top 200 Country Chart and number one All-Genre streaming debut album on the Billboard 200 All-Genre Chart week of release.
The project boasted over 25 million US streams within its first week, more than doubling the first-week numbers of his prior album ‘Actin’ Up Again’. Adcock has collectively amassed more than 1.5 billion global streams across singles including the RIAA Platinum-certified “A Cigarette” and Gold-certified songs “Run Your Mouth,” “Deep End,” and “Four Leaf Clover.” The former Georgia Southern University football player has sold out music venues from coast to coast and recently wrapped his 2025 Need To Tour. “Colorblind” is available now.
Following a standout debut performance at the 68th annual GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, SOMBR shares a brand new single, titled “Homewrecker” (Warner Records), his first release since his critically acclaimed, chart-topping 2025 debut album I Barely Know Her. Written and co-produced by the GRAMMY nominated multi-hyphenated artist, “Homewrecker” arrives with an official music video starring Quenlin Blackwell and Milo Manheim.
Directed by Gus Black (Phoebe Bridgers, Laufey), the “Homewrecker” music video brings the song’s relatably messy feelings to life. In the visual, SOMBR and Blackwell, cast in a Western film helmed by a short-tempered director played by Manheim, we see tensions rise and the lines between pretend and real life blurred — leading to a high-noon-style western showdown.
Once again, SOMBR is the sole writer and co-producer of his latest song, underscoring the weight of this talent. In addition to his Best New ArtistGRAMMY nomination, he’s currently up for two prestigious BRIT Awards: International Artist of the Year, and International Song of the Year for “undressed.” Meanwhile, “back to friends” has claimed the #1 spot at Top 40 Radio.
In November, SOMBR made his Saturday Night Live debut, where he played “12 to 12” and “back to friends.” That appearance landed between sold-out tours across North America — with most venues being upgraded — and Australia/New Zealand. Next week, he embarks on a sold-out UK/EU run before returning stateside for Coachella. See below for all upcoming dates.
I Barely Know Herwas written entirely by SOMBR and co-produced by him alongside the legendary Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, The Replacements). A New York City native raised on the Lower East Side, he started making songs in his bedroom while studying classical music at LaGuardia High School. His 2022 song “Caroline” took the internet by storm, and he’s since released a series of EPs and singles, climbing to over 400 million monthly streams across platforms. Now based in Los Angeles, SOMBR continues to explore young romance and heartbreak through his music, which remains self-written and co-produced.
