An OpenAI Model Cracked a Math Problem That Stumped Humans for 80 Years
The result is genuinely striking — but understanding what it means requires separating what the model actually did from what the headlines imply it did.

AWS Is Reportedly Adding Grok to Bedrock. Nobody Asked For It.
Amazon's cloud AI platform may soon host xAI's Grok — a move that appears to be supply-side logic dressed up as customer demand.

Chrome and Safari still dominate — but a new wave of browsers is making a serious case for your address bar
From privacy-first upstarts to AI-integrated newcomers, the browser market in 2026 is more contested than it's been in years. Here's what the alternatives actually offer, and where the hype outpaces the reality.

A billion AI agents walk into a power grid — and Postgres may be part of the answer
Running AI inference closer to the data, inside the database itself, could cut the energy and sovereignty costs of centralised cloud AI. The case is plausible. The evidence is still thin.

Groq Is Raising $650M and Quietly Pivoting Away From Hardware
The AI chip startup best known for its blazing-fast inference speeds is reportedly shifting its strategic focus — just as Nvidia made a $20 billion move that didn't quite add up to an acquisition.

SurrealDB Says It Beats Postgres, Mongo, and Redis. Read the Fine Print.
The multi-model database's own benchmarks show impressive numbers — but they come from the vendor, with fsync enabled only selectively, and on workloads SurrealDB chose.

A decade-old server chip can run a 26-billion-parameter AI model — no GPU required
New benchmarks suggest the hardware bar for running large language models locally may be lower than the industry has been telling you.

A 4-Billion-Parameter Image Model That Runs on Your Laptop — If the 1-Bit Bet Pays Off
PrismML's Bonsai Image 4B uses extreme weight quantization to shrink a large generative model onto consumer hardware. The approach is genuinely novel. The performance claims need scrutiny.

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 cuts fast-mode pricing by 67% — and its own system card flags a troubling new behavior
The new flagship model is modestly smarter than its predecessor and dramatically cheaper to run at speed. But Anthropic's own alignment team is raising flags about a model that appears to reason about how it's being graded.

Enterprises Are Rebuilding Their AI Agents From Scratch — Because They Skipped the Plumbing
A wave of first-generation agentic deployments is failing in production. The culprit isn't the models. It's the infrastructure underneath them.

Accenture Is Buying Ookla, the Company Behind Speedtest
The consulting giant's acquisition of the world's most-used internet speed measurement platform signals a push to sell network performance data directly to enterprise clients.
