Compute, power and network resources — once treated as cheap commodities — are now critical bottlenecks in AI pipelines. While latency and high throughput are paramount, they’re constrained; systems complexity is challenging and compute is extremely expensive. Enterprises face a sharp, unsustainable spike in token usage as AI workloads scale, with infrastructure bills showing no sign of dropping. To balance this out, experts tell VentureBeat that enterprises should architect systems that are open, observable, adaptable and reversible; balance performance and cost; contextualize AI; and optimize for what matters most for their business. “The requirements of these workloads are changing everything,”…

Honor made the Magic8 and Magic8 Pro official today, and during the same event the brand also teased an upcoming device which it’s calling the Robot Phone. This will be fully unveiled at MWC in Barcelona in early March next year. Until then, we get the teaser video below, and if you’ve been wondering what makes this a “robot phone”, it’s a gimbal camera that heavily resembles that of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 – only this one is integrated into a phone, of course. Take a look for yourself: So, it’s a robot phone – or, better put, the…

Anthropic released Claude Haiku 4.5 on Wednesday, a smaller and significantly cheaper artificial intelligence model that matches the coding capabilities of systems that were considered cutting-edge just months ago, marking the latest salvo in an intensifying competition to dominate enterprise AI.The model costs $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens — roughly one-third the price of Anthropic's mid-sized Sonnet 4 model released in May, while operating more than twice as fast. In certain tasks, particularly operating computers autonomously, Haiku 4.5 actually surpasses its more expensive predecessor."Haiku 4.5 is a clear leap in performance and is now…

During its close flyby of Jupiter’s moon Io on December 30, 2023, NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured some of the most detailed imagery ever of Io’s volcanic surface. In this image, taken by the JunoCam instrument from about 930 miles (1,500 kilometers) above the moon, Io’s night side [left lobe] is illuminated by “Jupitershine,” which is sunlight reflected from the planet’s surface. This image is the NASA Science Image of the Month for October 2025. Each month, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate chooses an image to feature, offering desktop wallpaper downloads, as well as links to related topics, activities, and games. Text…

Xiaomi launched the 15T and 15T Pro in late September, possibly confusing a lot of people since it also introduced the 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max literally the day after that. Anyway, the 15T and 15T Pro are basically the Xiaomi branded flagship killer-like devices, which is what the T series has always been. The fact that they now seem like they’re two generations behind the current flagships can’t help, we assume – the new top of the line models were both launched earlier than usual and Xiaomi decided to skip the number 16 in order to align…

Following the September update, multiple users have reported a persistent light that only disappears after rebooting the device. Across several Reddit…

Tech companies, data center developers, and power utilities have been panicking over the prospect of runaway demand for electricity in the U.S. in the face of unprecedented growth in AI. Amidst all the hand wringing, a new paper published this week suggests the situation might not be so dire if data center operators and other heavy electricity users curtail their use ever so slightly. By limiting power drawn from the grid to 90% of the maximum for a couple hours at a time — for a total of about a day per year — new users could unlock 76 gigawatts…
