On a sweltering August evening in Silicon Valley, as the sun dropped and air conditioning loads spiked, Silicon Valley Power sent a signal to an AI factory to adjust its power consumption. Varun Sivaram was watching on Zoom with about forty others — his team at Emerald AI in their San Francisco conference room, engineers […]

Ian Buck, vice president of hyperscale and high-performance computing at NVIDIA, Tuesday spoke on AI factory efficiency at the AI Infra Summit, the Santa Clara Convention Center event that has morphed into a Coachella of infrastructure tech.

AI probably thinks a world that can elect Trump as president is so messed up it deserves to be put out of its misery We can all sleep easy. In a post on his Truth Social account, Donald Trump has declared that fears over artificial intelligence were all a hoax dreamed up by conspiracy theorists. Obviously that includes the top bods at Anthropic and its competitors, who all called for a coordinated global slowdown while the industry works out how to mitigate the risks. Still, good to know the tech bros are just fantasists and space cadets at heart. All that was needed to keep humanity safe and well, The Donald insisted, was a president with a very high IQ. Someone very like him. The only man alive who could out-think the combined power of the world’s supercomputers. He could tell them wher…

Prompt caching in Amazon Bedrock can cut input token costs by up to 90% when you repeatedly send the same context to foundation models. This post walks through six practical prompt caching scenarios using the Converse API: message content, system prompt, tool definition, mixed TTL, tenant isolation, and LangChain integration.

Manually tagging thousands of catalog products is slow and inconsistent. This walkthrough shows how to customize Qwen3-8B with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) on Amazon SageMaker serverless model customization, then deploy it for asynchronous inference to build a cost-efficient product tagging system.

Amazon SageMaker AI now offers instance preference lists for training and processing jobs. Specify an ordered list of up to five instance types, and SageMaker AI automatically launches on the first type with available capacity, eliminating manual retry loops and capacity-watching scripts.

Experts air concern over AI lingo redolent of Pink Floyd star and James Joyce’s prose that is creating headaches for monitoring and oversight AI models have begun communicating in a strange new version of English that reads like a cross between James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and tech bro jargon, new research has found. Autonomous AI agents are rapidly creating novel dialects allowing them to converse in an often barely comprehensible language, which risks making it harder for humans to monitor their behaviour.

AI capabilities | Trump’s judgment | Gardening attire | Death in English literature | Tautologies | Nominative determinism AI may be capable of “taking over the entire internet” (OpenAI boss and Elon Musk back calls to put brakes on ‘reckless’ AI development, 13 September), but it is rubbish at tackling the Guardian cryptic crossword. John Hougham Reading, Berkshire • Donald Trump is downplaying the dangers of AI (Trump facing AI backlash in Congress as push for guardrails intensifies, 15 September). But didn’t he say much the same thing about Covid? Garry Wynne Norley, Cheshire Continue reading...

Exclusive: Correspondence requests state MP Melissa Horne to lobby on NextDC’s behalf – but contains alleged AI-created errors Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The Victorian jobs minister has accused one of Australia’s largest datacentre companies of using artificial intelligence while requesting she lobby her colleague to approve a massive expansion of its “hyperscale AI factory”. Correspondence between Victorian cabinet minister Melissa Horne and the chief executive of ASX-listed company NextDC, Craig Scroggie, reveals increasing sensitivity to community concerns about datacentres before the state election.

The characters are dead-eyed waxworks which speak with all the nuance of a satnav. But this AI-created workplace comedy is so bad that even the greatest actors alive couldn’t stop it being unwatchable As you will no doubt be aware, one Anthropic researcher claimed there is a greater than one in 10 chance that AI will end all of humanity as we know it within the next decade. However, now that I’ve given it some thought, I think this statistic might actually be a little conservative. This is because I have just watched an episode of a sitcom created by AI, and if I ever have to do it again I’m genuinely going to die of boredom. The show is No Big Deal, and it premiered on YouTube on Friday. I was apparently only the 376th person to watch it. This is by no means a recommendation that you bec…

Shortly after launching its new do-everything AI assistant Muse, Meta's launching subscription bundles that pair its standalone app subscriptions with extra AI usage. Some of the new Meta One bundles were in testing earlier this year, but are now available globally starting today, with several tiers for individual users, creators, and businesses. Meta says the "core experience" on its apps and Meta AI will still be free, and users can still get its subscriptions for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp without a bundle. It also says it plans to expand the bundles to include "Edits, AI glasses, and more over time." There are two bundles for in … Read the full story at The Verge.

Opal is Google Labs' no-code tool for turning natural language into working AI mini-apps, built on top of an internal framework called Breadboard. Here's how I learned to use it best.

Agent programs in healthcare and life sciences are being built under a different set of constraints than those in most industries. There’s plenty of upside if the constraints can be resolved. Success can mean hours of manual review compressed into minutes, data spread across a dozen systems finally queryable in one place, and clinicians getting time back from documentation. At the same time, the cost of a wrong answer can be higher here than almost anywhere else, which changes how teams build.

The rise of AI-generated tributes and bots for ‘talking’ to the dead has experts concerned more people will grieve in isolation Tributes rolled in after the death of Dolly Parton last month. Jack White performed Jolene at a London gig. Kesha sang Old Flames (Can’t Hold a Candle to You), a single her mother wrote for the country music titan. Even Pitbull stopped his Madison Square Garden show to memorialize Parton and all the other “powerful women” in the crowd. But one of the strangest – and most viral – eulogies did not come from a celebrity. It did not even come from a person. Run Jolene, at just under five minutes, is an earworm of a country song, containing all the cliches of the genre: twangy singer, banjo licks, corny lyrics. Those lyrics concern Jolene, the fictional romantic rival…
