AWS already has plenty of ways to analyze data. It can tap into Redshift, Athena, EMR, Glue and SageMaker, and other tools in its stack. And much of the data being analyzed across that ecosystem already sits in S3. So at first glance, AWS’s decision to acquire DuckLabs, the Amsterdam company behind DuckDB, may seem […]

Texas has put a hold on new data center grid connections as it tries to determine how many of the projects seeking huge amounts of power are actually going to be built.

The enterprise AI race is starting to produce some separation. While AI adoption continues to spread across organizations, McKinsey’s latest research suggests that large enterprises and a small group of high-performing companies are moving considerably faster than everyone else. The result could be the beginning of a two-speed enterprise AI market. McKinsey’s State of AI […]

Vector database company Qdrant has released a dataset with 10 billion documents to help put large-scale vector search systems through their paces. Benchmarking these systems isn’t easy, particularly as they get bigger. You need a large enough dataset to make the test meaningful, but you also need to know what the correct results should be. […]

VAST Data and CrowdStrike are expanding their partnership to bring more security into the systems companies use to build and run AI. The companies are integrating CrowdStrike’s Falcon security platform with the VAST AI Operating System. The goal is to protect not just the infrastructure running AI, but also the enterprise data being fed into […]

Michael Fuller, Executive Chairman of Conflux Technology, examines why thermal performance alone is no longer enough in modern data centers, and how balancing heat transfer with hydraulic efficiency can unlock significant operational gains. The AI era is forcing data center operators to rethink some long-held assumptions about infrastructure design. As processor power densities continue to […]

OpenAI says one of its AI systems has solved a math problem that has stumped mathematicians for nearly a century. The Navier–Stokes problem is one of seven Millennium Prize Problems, some of the toughest problems in mathematics, with a $1 million prize attached to each one. If OpenAI’s proof holds up, it would be a […]

Google DeepMind has released a huge new dataset that could make it easier for scientists to study how changes in our DNA affect the way the body works. Cal
