Today, we’re announcing Amazon Bedrock Advanced Prompt Optimization, a new tool that you can use to optimize your prompts for any model on Amazon Bedrock, while comparing your original prompts to optimized prompts across up to 5 models simultaneously. With the new prompt optimization, you can migrate to a new model or improve performance from your current model. You can test them to make sure they see no regressions on known use cases and also improve on underperforming tasks. The new prompt optimizer takes in your prompt template, example user inputs for the variable values, ground truth answers, and an…
This blogpost covers newly discovered activities attributed to FrostyNeighbor, targeting governmental organizations in Ukraine. FrostyNeighbor has been running continual cyberoperations, changing and updating its toolset regularly, updating its compromise chain and methods to evade detection – targeting victims located in Eastern Europe, according to our telemetry. Key points of the report: FrostyNeighbor is a long-running cyberespionage actor apparently aligned with the interests of Belarus. The group primarily targets governmental, military, and key sectors in Eastern Europe. This report documents new activity observed that started in March 2026, showing continued evolution of tooling and compromise chains. FrostyNeighbor uses server-side validation of…
An internal view of the reactor system (image credit: Bruce Logan). US researchers have developed a microbial electrosynthesis reactor system that converts carbon dioxide and renewable electricity into methane, while demonstrating that the technology can be scaled up roughly tenfold without losing efficiency — a step that could help move the long-studied approach beyond laboratory-scale systems. The work addresses one of the central challenges associated with renewable energy: long-duration energy storage. “Traditionally, large-scale, long-term storage means pumping water uphill and letting it flow back down through turbines,” said Bruce Logan, director of Penn State’s Institute of Energy and the Environment…
We are at a critical point in time where data is the new oil, but to access that precious new oil is all the buzz. We must have the correct tools and infrastructure to drill for it, and that critical infrastructure all rests on erecting more data centers. Construction companies are now tasked with building this infrastructure of the future, which will not be an easy feat. Here at Constructech, Connected World, and The Peggy Smedley Show, we have watched closely the trends related to the North American engineering and construction market, and there is one clear trend for 2026:…
Cheap Pixel phones come around every so often, especially if you can scope retailers out for some of their biggest price cuts.

Retail magnate and marketing pioneer John Wanamaker famously said: “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” That dilemma still defines modern marketing, where companies must capture attention across search, social, and display channels while proving every dollar drives measurable growth. With algorithms shifting and consumer behavior evolving quickly, it’s essential to plan and track an advertising budget with precision before exploring calculation methods and optimization strategies. What Is an Advertising Budget and What Are Its Components? At its core, an advertising budget is the portion of a company’s overall marketing…
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, has announced funding of €20million for 22 high-risk, high-reward research projects through the Research Ireland Frontiers for the Future Programme. Minister Lawless said: “The 22 projects announced today under Research Ireland’s Frontiers for the Future Programme are ambitious in both scope and scale, spanning areas from pioneering cancer therapies to advancing a more sustainable and circular economy, and much more besides. The breadth of research being funded reflects the exceptional depth and diversity of talent across our research and innovation ecosystem. I congratulate all the awardees and…
“Data is really a new currency; it’s the IP for many companies,” says Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB, echoing a recurrent anxiety from customers. “The big concern is, if you’re deploying an AI-infused application with a cloud-based large language model, are you losing your IP? Are you losing your competitive position?” That question is now fueling a movement toward reclaiming both the data and AI systems that have rapidly become part of core business infrastructure. AI and data sovereignty, which refers to breaking dependence on centralized providers and establishing genuine control over models and data estates, it is an urgent…
When our TeleGeography analysts speak with procurement teams, we often hear about the persistent challenges of trying to source crucial last mile connectivity. While demand for high-capacity circuits is surging, the underlying procurement processes and commercial models are struggling to keep pace.
“Artificial intelligence is not just for computer scientists anymore; it’s going to permeate every aspect of our lives and influence every business,” says MIT President Sally Kornbluth. The world is reaching an inflection point with artificial intelligence: over half of U.S. adults use generative AI — with 12 percent using it daily at work — and 88 percent of global organizations have integrated AI into at least one core function, up from 78 percent in 2024. AI knowledge is no longer optional for career growth, organizational leadership, and life. Yet, a growing information gap exists between those with the capabilities to leverage AI’s potential…
