Using the right model and the right prompt is only part of the enterprise AI challenge, it's also critical to optimize the prompt.It's a challenge that Databricks has been working to solve with its Agent Bricks technology, which was launched back in June. That technology has steadily improved and today Databricks revealed new techniques it is using to further improve prompt optimization.

Databricks claims the enhancement to Agent Bricks can now enable enterprises to make models…

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Pixel Buds 2a, both of which were originally unveiled back on August 20, are now finally available for purchase. The timing means that Google missed Amazon’s big sales event, so the offers right now are pretty limited. To entice you to upgrade to the new foldable, the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold comes with a £300 bonus for trade-ins and that’s it. The phone measures 10.8mm when closed and weighs 258g, which is fairly high for a 2025 foldable. The Tensor G5 also fails to impress. It has a 48MP main camera, 10.8MP…

How a semiconductor veteran turned over a century of horticultural wisdom into AI-led competitive advantage For decades, a ritual played out across ScottsMiracle-Gro’s media facilities. Every few weeks, workers walked acres of towering compost and wood chip piles with nothing more than measuring sticks. They wrapped rulers around each mound, estimated height, and did what company President Nate Baxter now describes as “sixth-grade geometry to figure out volume.”Today, drones glide over those same plants with mechanical precision. Vision systems calculate volumes in real time. The move from measuring sticks to artificial intelligence signals more than efficiency. It is the visible proof…

The Witcher debuted on Netflix in 2019 to effusive praise from fans. They loved the fantasy action, they loved seeing a popular series of books and video games come to life onscreen, and they loved Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, a taciturn monster hunter more vulnerable than he lets on.

Hyperscalers and data center developers are in a pickle: They all want to add computing power tomorrow, but utilities frequently play hard to get, citing years-long waits for grid connections. “All the AI data centers are struggling to get connected,” Amit Narayan, founder and CEO of Gridcare, told TechCrunch. “They’re so desperate. They are looking for solutions, which may or may not happen. Certainly not in the five-year timelines they cite.” That has led many data centers to pursue what’s called “behind the meter” power sources — basically, they build their own power plants, a costly endeavor that hints at…

A newly identified botnet takes a ‘shotgun’ approach to compromising devices, packing over 50 exploits targeting routers, servers, cameras, and other network products, Trend Micro reports. Dubbed RondoDox, the botnet began activities in mid-2025 and was associated with the exploitation of CVE-2023-1389, a command injection flaw in the WAN interface of TP-Link Archer AX21 routers that was disclosed at the Pwn2Own Toronto hacking contest in 2022.

According to Trend Micro, the botnet is now targeting…
