The following article originally appeared on Medium and is being republished here with the author’s permission.Open source has been evolving for half a century, but the last two decades have set the stage for what comes next. The 2000s were the “star stage”—when open source became mainstream, commercial, and visible. The 2010s decentralized it, breaking the hierarchy and making forking normal. Now, in the 2020s, it’s transforming again as generative AI enters the scene—as a participant.This decade isn’t just faster. It’s a different kind of speed. AI is starting to write, refactor, and remix code and open source projects at a scale…

For the past two years, enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategies have revolved around one central question: which model should we use? Larger, faster, and more fluent foundation models, especially Large Language Models (LLMs), became the focal point of experimentation and investment.  That phase is now ending.  As enterprises move from pilots to scaled deployment, a critical reality is becoming clear: models alone do not create business value. Value emerges only when AI can act reliably, repeatedly, and within enterprise controls. The next phase of AI success will be defined less by model selection and more by how effectively organizations orchestrate AI across data, tools, workflows, and governance.  Recent ecosystem moves, most notably Meta’s acquisition…

When people talk face to face, nearly half of their attention is drawn to the movement of the lips. Despite this, robots still have great difficulty moving their mouths in a convincing way. Even the most advanced humanoid machines often rely on stiff, exaggerated mouth motions that resemble a puppet, assuming they have a face at all. Humans place enormous importance on facial expression, especially subtle movements of the lips. While awkward walking or clumsy hand gestures can be forgiven, even small mistakes in facial motion tend to stand out immediately. This sensitivity contributes to what scientists call the “Uncanny…

Platforms that offer the most diverse research datasets transform how data scientists and business intelligence teams approach discovery and forecasting. By unifying publications and clinical trials into a single environment, these platforms help eliminate silos and improve decision-making speed. With many tools claiming to offer cutting-edge research access, it’s not always clear which platform truly delivers on dataset diversity. For data scientists and intelligence teams who need more than just publications, these options stand out for their ability to link trials and scholarly outputs in one ecosystem.1.   DimensionsDimensions offers one of the most comprehensive and interconnected research datasets available, linking…

At the end of 2025 I was happy to take a long break to enjoy the incredible summers that the southern hemisphere provides. I’m back and writing my first post in 2026 which also happens to be my last post for the AWS News Blog (more on this later). The AWS community is starting the year strong with various AWS re:invent re:Caps being hosted around the globe, with some communities already hosting their AWS Community Day events, the AWS Community Day Tel Aviv 2026 was hosted last week. Last week’s launches Here are last week’s launches that caught my attention:…

The business social networking site is a vast, publicly accessible database of corporate information. Don’t believe everyone on the site is who they say they are. 16 Jan 2026  •  , 4 min. read In November, Britain’s Security Service began notifying members of parliament (MPs) and their staff of an audacious foreign intelligence-gathering scheme. It claimed two profiles on LinkedIn were approaching individuals working in British politics in order to solicit “insider insights”. The revelations from MI5 precipitated a £170 million ($230 million) government initiative to tackle espionage threats to parliament. It may be the most recent high-profile case of…

Hinkley Point nuclear power station construction in Somerset in 2022. The government’s review of nuclear delivery, published in November, is based on misleading advice, says new research published by The Wildlife Trusts, a federation of UK wildlife charities. Faulty evidence underpins the Prime Minister’s appraisal of “pointless gold-plating, unnecessary red-tape, well-intentioned, but fundamentally misguided environmental regulations”, as the group explains Why the Nuclear Regulatory Review is flawed – and how it could turn the nature crisis into a catastrophe also reveals that the review’s proposals to weaken the Habitats Regulations which protect nature sites – as well as “to remove…

The impending sunsets of older mobile networks pose a risk to legacy IoT applications and therefore demand immediate attention.The retirement of 2G and 3G networks presents a logistical hurdle that threatens to interrupt supply chains, utility grids, and payment systems if not navigated with precision. While the consumer migration to 5G dominates headlines, the real friction lies in the industrial sector, where millions of IoT devices still rely on older connectivity standards.According to analysis from Omdia, Europe currently leads the global charge in network decommissioning, specifically targeting 3G services while often preserving 2G. This diverging approach – where 3G is…

I’d never call myself a real coder. Most of what I know comes from tinkering in the Linux terminal, copying and pasting Python and the occasional burst of long-forgotten coding classes I started — and quickly abandoned — years ago. I wouldn’t even say I know enough to be dangerous, but probably enough to break something if I’m lucky. And that’s exactly why vibe coding interests me so much.I’ve created web-based apps for events calendars and a horror movie showcase gallery, and I’ve spent way too much time recreating some of my favorite childhood PC games, all by talking to an…

A nanotube lattice reveals how electrons shift between 1D and 2D quantum phases under voltage control Atom illustration showing electrons (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Carbon nanotube arrays are designed to investigate the behaviour of electrons in low‑dimensional systems. By arranging well‑aligned 1D nanotubes into a 2D film, the researchers create a coupled‑wire structure that allows them to study how electrons move and interact as the system transitions between different dimensionalities. Using a gate electrode positioned on top of the array, the researchers were able to tune both the carrier density (number of electrons and holes in a unit area) and the strength…
