A new open-source engine called ds4.c launches Metal-only local inference for DeepSeek V4 Flash on Apple Silicon Macs, featuring 2-bit quantization, disk KV cache persistence, and a 1-million-token context window — making powerful AI inference possible on MacBooks and Mac Studios with 128GB or more of RAM.
Apple's camera-equipped AirPods enter near-final testing, featuring low-resolution cameras that act as Siri's eyes for visual AI tasks like object identification and navigation, with a 2026 launch now back on track after early delays tied to Siri's AI overhaul.
Agentic AI is crashing cloud storage systems in real time, as autonomous AI agents generate extreme I/O spikes that legacy infrastructure like AWS EBS cannot handle, causing catastrophic latency surges, platform failures, and AI hallucinations — forcing engineers to urgently rethink storage architecture before the AI inference tsunami hits.
NVIDIA, alongside AMD, Microsoft, and OpenAI, unveils a groundbreaking open RDMA transport protocol called Multipath Reliable Connection (MRC), designed to revolutionize gigascale AI networking by distributing traffic across multiple paths for faster, more resilient large-scale AI training clusters.
Apple settles a $250 million class action lawsuit over misleading AI feature claims, with eligible US customers who purchased an iPhone 16 or iPhone 15 Pro between June 2024 and March 2025 set to receive up to $95 per device after the tech giant failed to deliver promised Apple Intelligence …
Anthropic secures a massive deal with SpaceX for 220,000 Nvidia GPUs and 300 megawatts of compute power, lifts usage caps for paid subscribers, and explores building orbital AI data centers in space as AI demand continues to surge.
Google releases Multi-Token Prediction drafters for Gemma 4, delivering up to 3x faster AI token generation speeds with zero quality loss, now available under the Apache 2.0 license and compatible with major frameworks including MLX, VLLM, SGLang, and Ollama.
Microsoft is considering abandoning its 2030 clean energy goal of matching 100% of its electricity use with renewable energy, as rapidly expanding AI data centers create power demands that make the ambitious target increasingly difficult to meet.
Google releases open-source Multi-Token Prediction drafters for Gemma 4 models, tripling AI inference speed through speculative decoding with zero quality loss, now freely available on Hugging Face and Kaggle under an Apache 2.0 license.
Anthropic commits $200 billion to Google Cloud over five years, representing over 40% of Alphabet's entire backlog, sending Alphabet shares soaring in postmarket trading as surging demand for Claude Code drives a massive infrastructure expansion push.
