Workload and node autoscaling in 2026

If you run local LLMs on a Mac, you keep getting asked to choose between a GGUF file and an MLX build of the same model. Here is how to actually decide, in f...

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is set to raise about 50 billion yuan ($7.4 billion) in its first funding round, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The company is reducing its workforce as it exits 22 countries, reduces management layers, and invests in its infrastructure to scale its platform.

Yes, the Fedora 43 upgrade brought an interesting revelation for all Outlook users—one that Microsoft is unlikely to be thrilled about. Outlook was not encrypting email connections, even though SSL/TLS was clearly enabled in the account settings. It looks like, that bug dates back to at least Outlook 2007, which is the oldest Outlook version […]

Build is one of our favorite moments each year - a chance to connect with the global developer community and share what we’ve been building. Over the past year, we have connected with many developers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on

Google DeepMind’s Gemma 4 12B model brings agentic, multimodal AI capabilities to everyday laptops with 16GB of RAM, enabling local data processing and visual insight generation. Users can leverage this model on macOS through the Google AI Edge Gallery for dynamic Python code execution and visualization, as well as via Google AI Edge Eloquent for completely offline voice dictation and text editing. Additionally, developer workflows are enhanced by the LiteRT-LM CLI's new serve command, which creates an industry-compatible local endpoint to power fully-local AI tools and agents.

Uber burned its AI budget in four months chasing token leaderboards, then capped engineers at $1,500. We never hit a limit. The plan is the variable

DeepSeek takes top spot on ‘trending’ list as companies look for alternatives to OpenAI and Anthropic, spending tracker’s report says.

I wrote the other day about Uber blowing its 2026 AI budget in four months, and how that wasn't particularly surprising given they would have set that budget in 2025, …

14 years ago, I helped break HTTP header compression, then was asked to review the fix, which became part of HTTP/2. Life has come full circle: today we're releasing an attack I missed.

Transmission 4.1.2 open-source BitTorrent client is now available for download with various bug fixes and improvements.

Let’s Encrypt is committed to a post-quantum-safe Web PKI. The path we’re planning to take is Merkle Tree Certificates (“MTCs”), a new approach that adds post-quantum authentication to the web without sacrificing the speed and reliability that have made TLS universal. This post is about these plans and why we believe MTCs are worth pursuing as a key to a post-quantum future. An increasingly urgent problem For much of the last several years, the conversation about post-quantum cryptography has been a conversation about encryption. The reasoning was straightforward: an attacker who records encrypted traffic today might be able to decrypt it years from now once quantum computers can break the underlying math. Authentication, the part of TLS that indicates a server is who it says it is, has been a less urgent problem. A quantum computer needs to forge a signature in real time, not retroactively, so threats to authentication hinge on the existence of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC).

A government committee says that the country’s growing dependence on the data analytics company is a serious liability.
