If you’re running Apache Solr for search, now is a great time to migrate to Amazon OpenSearch Service. Amazon OpenSearch Serverless offers a modern, managed destination that greatly reduces operational overhead. Migration Assistant for Amazon OpenSearch Service now supports Apache Solr sources from versions 6.x through 9.x. Migration Assistant now includes an AI assistant that you can drive from your preferred AI tools. The assistant walks you through the migration, providing a detailed report with timelines, blockers, schema and query translation. In this post, you will learn why now is the time to take advantage of the ease of operations…

The model includes a reasoning-effort setting that developers can adjust from 0.2 to 0.99. Thinking Machines said the setting allows users to balance performance against the number of generated tokens. In the company’s testing, Inkling matched Nemotron 3 Ultra’s Terminal Bench 2.1 score while generating about one-third as many tokens. Developers can fine-tune Inkling through Tinker using context lengths of 64,000 or 256,000 tokens and test it through the Inkling Playground. The model is available through APIs from Together AI, Fireworks, Modal, Databricks, and Baseten. It is also supported by inference software, including SGLang, vLLM, TokenSpeed, llama.cpp, and Hugging Face…

UK financial regulators began directly overseeing four major cloud and technology providers on July 13, 2026, after years of concern that a failure at one widely used supplier could spread across banks, insurers, and financial markets. The Bank of England, Prudential Regulation Authority, and Financial Conduct Authority are now overseeing specified services from Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft, and Oracle. Banks remain responsible for their own outsourcing, operational resilience, due diligence, risk management, and contingency planning. Regulators target shared cloud dependencies The four designated entities are Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, Google Cloud EMEA Limited, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited,…

Help us produce all of the high-quality, original content we publish week after week despite the challenges of content-scraping AI, antisocial media, inflation, and other hurdles. There’s been so much focus on Volkswagen’s drastic plans to close factories and lay off employees, and rightfully so, but that overshadowed some actually pretty cool, uplifting news from the company. In a company report on its first-half-of-year sales, the group’s 4.1 million sales were not a bright spot overall (down 6% year over year), but the company was was happy to…

CSL Group is buying IoTM Solutions to consolidate multi-carrier SIM and eSIM management for enterprise IoT estates.IoTM Solutions is a cloud-native connectivity management vendor whose platform unifies SIM lifecycle operations, eSIM profile handling, usage reporting, support workflows, and API access across multiple operators. Financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.Dan Amir, CEO and Co-Founder of IoTM Solutions, said: “IoTM was created to remove the complexity of managing IoT connectivity across multiple operators, platforms, and countries. Joining CSL Group allows us to bring that capability to a larger global customer base, supported by CSL’s managed connectivity services and rSIM resilience.“Together, we…

Google might launch an AI product with one name during its experimental phase, but it will eventually tie it all to Gemini. In the latest example of this trend, the company is renaming its AI-powered research product NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook. The company is also adding features to make the tool more interactive by infusing coding execution for data analysis. The company first showed off NotebookLM during Google IO in 2023 as Project Tailwind, and since then, it has made it into a product used by 30 million people and over 600,000 organizations. In the last three years, the company…

Cyberspace is recognized as a critical warfighting domain. Operations in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum have also long been an important piece of the arsenal. Recent advances in software-defined radio (SDR), radio frequency system on chip (RF SoC), and artificial intelligence (AI) have demonstrated that electronic warfare (EW) techniques can be even more potent and readily available. For example, manipulation of intelligently adaptive radio signals could disable adversaries’ sensors and communication systems.Beyond the boundaries of the battlefield, the Pentagon signaled the need for EM capability in 2020, with the DoD Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy and Joint Publication 3-85: Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum…

A fluidic memristor that heats itself to form and clear nanoscale salt blockages could bring ionic hardware closer to the dynamic learning and memory functions of biological neural systems. Paper: Self-heating-induced blocking in nanopores enables neuromorphic ionic computing. Image credit: AI-generated image created using ChatGPT/OpenAI  In a recent ‘article in press’ in the journal Nature Communications, researchers report the development of a self-heating-induced blocking memristor (SIBM) based on nanopores that enables neuromorphic ionic computing by leveraging thermally triggered precipitation and electric-field-driven precipitate clearance for resistive switching. Ionic Neuromorphic Computing Rationale Neuromorphic computing aims to emulate the brain’s efficient information processing using…

“National security is the proposal’s accelerator in Washington and its poison pill abroad: the framing that opens the only gate available at home invites foreign capitals to read the institution as an instrument of American strategy,” he pointed out. “The map is already plural,” he said. “Brussels switches on enforcement powers over general-purpose models [starting in August 2026], London runs the AI Security Institute, and Beijing licenses on its own terms. California and New York have legislated for frontier models at home. The durable route is shared technical evidence with sovereign enforcement, sealed through mutual recognition rather than deference, with…

As if we needed one more thing to worry about so soon after the hantavirus scare, there is a new public health threat for Americans to contend with: a rapidly escalating outbreak of, of all things, diarrhea.It’s a parasite-borne illness called cyclosporiasis. It can cause explosive and watery bowel movements — and it is wreaking havoc across the United States this summer.How bad exactly? As of July 15, Michigan’s health department is reporting 3,762 cyclosporiasis cases, up from 1,500 late last week. Forty-four people have been hospitalized as of July 9. To put that number in context, the state normally…
