Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it. That’s because enterprises don't deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that were never built with a machine decision-maker in mind. That's the failure mode that should keep you up at night: a windy, complicated system nobody can see clearly enough to govern.
NVIDIA’s Gamescom announcements are revealing what’s next for GeForce NOW, with new ways to play, more supported devices and platforms, and even more big PC games headed to the cloud. New NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 technology controls give members more ways to fine-tune gameplay, while expanded support for new Steam devices, GOG single sign-on, Firefox browser […]
NVIDIA Vice President of Hyperscale and HPC Ian Buck hand-delivers Vera CPU systems across the AI ecosystem as Vera begins shipping at scale.
Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, what actually stops it? These are your agents, running on your models, touching your data in your infrastructure — and the responsibility for what they do sits with you. That responsibility can’t be
The next wave of AI is placing new demands on infrastructure. As AI agents and trillion-parameter workloads become mainstream, the performance of AI infrastructure depends not only on compute, but on how compute, memory, storage, networking and software are designed together as a unified system. To help hyperscalers and AI innovators build the next generation […]
Presented by Tata Communications Enterprises are deploying AI agents, voice AI, and automation across messaging, voice, and digital channels faster than the architecture meant to support it.

"In the rush to deploy AI, organizations have largely bolted conversational AI onto legacy systems," A

Electronic Arts, Embark and Ubisoft are among the latest game publishers and developers bringing their blockbuster titles to NVIDIA RTX Spark ahead of its launch […]
To generate intelligence at scale, AI factories run continuously, and their economics are defined by delivered output: tokens per second, tokens per watt, cost per token, utilization and uptime. That requires AI infrastructure designed and built as a full factory, not a collection of individual accelerators. Hyperscalers and AI-native companies building custom XPUs must consider […]
The next era of AI inference won’t be defined by a single breakthrough chip, network or system. It’ll be defined by how every layer of the AI factory works together. That’s why NVIDIA is extending Vera Rubin NVL72 with fast token generation for agentic systems. Announced today, the NVIDIA Vera Rubin rack-scale system NVIDIA Groq […]
According to OpenRouter data, agentic AI workloads consume 15x more tokens than a simple chat request. Why? Consider what happens when an AI agent researches a company for an investment decision. The agent queries financial databases, searches news and filings, invokes a sub-agent to run peer comparisons and model valuations, then synthesizes everything into a […]

AI factories are the defining infrastructure of the AI era — where compute transforms energy and data into intelligence that powers every business, industry and country.

Every new generation of accelerated computing demands more from the infrastructure underneath it — more compute performance, higher rack density and more efficient, scalable power distribution. The bottleneck isn’t just wattage. It’s how power gets from the grid to the GPU. In traditional power delivery, electricity travels from the grid as an alternating current (AC) […]

For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On Tuesday, Google will formally retire that paradigm. At its annual I/O developer conference , Google announced a sweeping redesign of the search box itself — the literal text field where billions of queries begin every day — transforming it from a simple keyword input into a dynamic, AI-driven con
Railway , a San Francisco-based cloud platform that has quietly amassed two million developers without spending a dollar on marketing, announced Thursday that it raised $100 million in a Series B funding round, as surging demand for artificial intelligence applications exposes the limitations of legacy cloud infrastructure.

The artificial intelligence coding revolution comes with a catch: it's expensive. Claude Code , Anthropic's terminal-based AI agent that can write, debug, and deploy code autonomously, has captured the imagination of software developers worldwide. But its pricing — ranging from $20 to $200 per month depending on usage — has sparked a growing rebellion among the very programmers it aims to serve. Now, a free alternative is gaining traction. Goose , an open-source AI agent develope
