As the cloud-focused, remote workforce leans into more flexible, automated, on-demand enterprise network solutions, dynamically provisioned network services, also known as Network-as-a-Service (NaaS), have become a differentiator among carriers.

In this article, you will learn the conceptual and practical differences between retrieval and memory in agentic AI systems, and how to combine both effectively. Topics we will cover include: What separates retrieval from memory, and why the distinction matters for long-running agents. How retrieval pipelines and memory systems are each built, illustrated with a concrete worked example. How to combine retrieval and memory into a single, effective agent architecture. Introduction An AI agent that can’t remember its previous interactions is not very helpful. Every large language model has a fixed context window, and once a conversation, a set of…

Modern search demands high-performance vector indexing and scalability to keep pace with the rapid growth of generative AI applications. As datasets grow into the billions, traditional CPU-based indexing often becomes a bottleneck, stalling productivity and innovation velocity. With GPU-accelerated vector (k-NN) indexing now available on Amazon OpenSearch Service and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, you can scale to billions of vectors efficiently. Powered by NVIDIA cuVS, an open-source library for GPU-accelerated vector search, this capability offloads compute-intensive vector index building to specialized GPU workers while your existing CPU infrastructure continues serving search. The result is faster, more cost-efficient construction of large-scale vector…

This post was authored by Ethan Okelberry, a technical sales engineer intern on the SLED Team.   Most intern stories start with walking into an office on day one. Mine started at my desk in Roseville, California, logging into Webex. I had the option to intern in person, but there is no Cisco office near me, so I went fully remote as a technical sales engineer intern. And I will be honest; I had my doubts. When I pictured a remote internship, I imagined eating lunch alone, awkward video calls, and watching other interns post pictures while I sat at home.…

Introduction Cisco customers now benefit from immediate access to an enhanced Secure Access for Government solution that meets FedRAMP Certified Class D (High) standards. By pairing with Cisco SD-WAN, Cisco Secure Access for Government is offered as a SASE solution that delivers comprehensive cybersecurity tailored to the complex requirements of federal agencies and contractors. As a converged Security Service Edge (SSE) solution built on Zero Trust architecture, it integrates key capabilities such as Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and cloud-delivered firewalling to ensure strong protection for users, devices, and applications everywhere. Cisco Secure Access for…

Home upgrades often focus on what people can see. These parts include sinks, faucets, toilets, floors, and cabinets. Yet small parts under a sink also matter. A fixture supply line is one of those parts. It carries water from a shut-off valve to a fixture. It may serve a faucet, toilet, dishwasher, fridge, or other appliance. These lines are small and low-cost. But they stay under water pressure. A bad line can leak and cause costly damage. It may harm floors, cabinets, walls, and trim. Check each line before work starts. This can stop leaks and avoid project delays. What…

In an era where digital agility is synonymous with mission success, Cisco is proud to serve as a cornerstone of the U.S. public sector’s modernization journey. We recognize that government agencies operate under the highest standards of security and accountability; that is why we have prioritized the delivery of FedRAMP Certified Class D (High) solutions across key offers of our security portfolio. By providing a secure, compliant foundation that bridges the gap between legacy infrastructure and cloud-native innovation, we are enabling agencies to implement Zero Trust principles and accelerate digital transformation with confidence. Our commitment goes beyond technology—we are dedicated…

SpaceXAI seems to be in the process of repairing Grok’s reputation. From the recent Cursor acquisition to yesterday’s Grok Bot agent release, the company is getting more serious about its models. Today’s Grok 4.6 release builds on that effort with what SpaceXAI says is intelligence comparable to OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol and Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5. SpaceXAI says Grok 4.6 delivers frontier intelligence at a steep discount According to SpaceXAI’s announcement, Grok 4.6 is designed for long-running agents, coding, knowledge work, and more ambitious visual projects. The company says it can stay on task across many steps, work through an unfamiliar codebase,…

“Meta just made agents a capital expense instead of an operating one,” Kenney said. “For two years, enterprises have been trained to rent intelligence by the token from someone else’s data center. Muse Glimmer runs the agent on a GPU you own, on the desk, with the meter switched off. That is a direct shot at the business model that cloud AI vendors are built on, and it comes from the one player with no cloud API revenue to protect.” In its post announcing the new model, Meta pointed out that it has aggressively slimmed it down to try to…
