Agent governance starts with the service catalog you already run

Last month, an AI agent running inside Cursor wiped PocketOS's entire production database, including its backups, in roughly nine seconds. The agent found an API token in an unrelated file, originally created for managing custom domains, and used that token to execute the deletion. The backups sat inside the same blast radius as the database the agent was operating against. Nine months earlier, a Replit AI agent had done the same thing to a SaaStr database during a designated code freeze.

AI Spend Hit $297B. Nobody Knows Where It Goes.

AI spend doubled to $297B in two years — and most companies can't tell you what any of it shipped. Token spend is disconnected from outcomes on the dev side. Agents in production? The invoice is the only signal. Harness Cloud & AI Cost Management (CACM) gives teams unit economics at the inference level, cross-provider visibility across OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, and Vertex AI, and request-level attribution to the agent, session, or workflow that triggered the spend.

Blackwell sold out in weeks. Here's what Rubin demand will look like.

"Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out. Compute demand keeps accelerating and compounding across training and inference, each growing exponentially. We've entered the virtuous cycle of AI." Jensen Huang, CEO, NVIDIA When NVIDIA's CEO makes that statement in a quarterly earnings release, it is not marketing language.

What is InfiniBand?

When distributed workloads stall because nodes cannot exchange small messages quickly and consistently, the network is the limiting factor. How do you solve that problem? InfiniBand offers one solution. InfiniBand is an interconnect, meaning the end-to-end communication system that links compute, storage, and accelerator nodes. It is implemented as a purpose-built network fabric, the switching and transport layer engineered to deliver high bandwidth and low, predictable latency between those nodes.

Code isn't cheap, but POCs are

I keep hearing the phrase "code is cheap." I don't know who came up with it. Whoever it was clearly has not seen an Anthropic bill. I get what they mean. The cost of writing a line of code has cratered, AI does most of the typing, you know the rest. Fine. But the phrase is combative in a way that doesn't help anyone, especially the engineers in the room. "Code is accessible" lands better. Less swagger, more honesty. Either way, here's the line my friend Guillaume gave me that finally cracked it open.

Massive Open Source Success: A Step-By-Step Guide | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

Not all open source projects gain traction -- but a few become movements. In this talk, Nariman, Founder of Puter, shares what actually separates the two, based on his experience of growing Puter to 40K+ stars, gaining hundreds of contributors, and over 500K installations. He breaks down how to gain momentum from a project's foundation, attract contributors, and design projects that capture the imagination.

How to deploy Canonical Managed Kubeflow on Microsoft Azure?

Learn how to deploy Canonical Managed Kubeflow on Microsoft Azure step by step. Canonical's Managed Kubeflow on Azure gives enterprise and startup AI teams a fully operational, open source MLOps platform in under an hour. It is managed 24/7 by Canonical's engineers. This means you can focus entirely on building models rather than running infrastructure.

Claude Opus 4.8: Pricing, benchmarks, and which model to actually run

Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.8 on May 28, 2026, exactly 41 days after Opus 4.7. The SERP was empty for two days after launch. Not because nobody cared. Because engineering managers and finance teams were doing the math on whether the bill changes.
