Applying lessons learned from managing cloud spend won’t be a fix for the AI and ROI quandary. True, cloud taught a generation of CFOs that billing without business context is noise. So to get cloud ROI, they stitched two data sources together: cost data plus business data. AWS reveals which account, which region, which tag, which resource. Merge in customer and product mappings on top and the ROI of the cloud spend comes into focus. But AI is harder. It requires three data sources: cost, business, and telemetry—the automatic collection of data from disparate sources that helps to clarify the…

US mobile download speeds surged during the first half of 2026. The combined nationwide median across AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon reached 334 Mbps, up about 74% from 192 Mbps in the first half of 2024, according to Ookla’s RootMetrics unit. The increase strengthens the case for cellular connectivity at branch offices, temporary sites, and locations with limited wired options. National rankings, however, cannot show whether a carrier will deliver stable indoor service on an organization’s hardware and applications. The H1 2026 State of the Mobile Union report draws on about 3 million tests conducted from January through June. RootMetrics covered…

Netflix Chief Sustainability Officer Emma Stewart is leaving the company to join the leadership team at Climate Spring, a social enterprise focused on changing how climate change is represented in film, TV and popular culture. Stewart has been a high-profile supporter of climate storytelling during her tenure at Netflix, which she joined in 2020 from the consultancy Engie Impact. Her leaving post on LinkedIn notes that she advised on hundreds of film and television scripts and grew Netflix’s Sustainability Stories Collection to more than 200 titles in 190 countries. She also oversaw Netflix’s attempts to cut emissions. The company’s Scope…

At Galaxy Unpacked July 2026 in London, Samsung Electronics set out its vision for the next chapter of digital health — a future where care moves from reactive treatment toward preventive, personalized and connected experiences, supported by trusted health innovation and partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem. To explore that vision, Samsung hosted a Health Forum panel, “Rewriting the Rules of Preventive Health.” Moderated by Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of the Digital Health Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, the session brought together leaders across nutrition, fitness, clinical research and AI to examine how technology…

At first glance, forward deployed engineer, one of the trendiest enterprise technology buzzwords of the moment, might sound like a fancy new way of referring to what businesses have been calling implementation consultants for decades. After all, the main focus of forward-deployed engineers is to embed directly within organizations to help implement and optimize new technology. That’s a lot like implementation services that major consulting firms have offered for decades. The reality, however, is more nuanced. While it’s certainly true that FDEs resemble traditional consultants in many ways, they’re actually a distinct type of solution, and enterprises seeking help with…

Samsung’s new foldables are here, and there’s a lot to talk about. That includes two book-style devices for the very first time. Despite its name, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is a brand-new device, with the rebranded Z Fold 8 Ultra the natural successor to last year’s Z Fold 7. If you’ve seen a picture of the two side-by-side (like in the image above), you’ll instantly notice the difference. So, is this just a choice between a short, squat device and a taller, narrower one? Absolutely not. While the design might have you leaning in one direction or the other,…

As Chinese open-weight AI models grow in capability and popularity, arguments about what should be done about them have once again reached a fever pitch. There’s talk that the Trump administration might try to ban them (though it hasn’t yet acted on the idea). Meanwhile, proprietary model makers, particularly OpenAI and Anthropic, appear increasingly concerned about them. Open-weight models such as Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 or Alibaba’s Qwen offer inference at a fraction of the token cost of closed-source models from these large U.S. labs. The fear is that they also pose some sort of threat. Certainly, they threaten the…

With the rise of agentic AI poised to alter network data demands and requirements, AT&T seems to be saying, “bring it on.”AT&T President and CEO John Stankey used portions of today’s Q2 earnings call to provide assurance that the company’s wireline and wireless networks are well positioned – particularly in the wireless upstream – to meet the challenges of agentic AI. That challenge centers on an anticipated surge in enterprise and consumer traffic in the coming decade. Cisco Systems’ first report on the impact of AI on wide area networks predicts that consumer-driven network traffic will grow by about 6.6x…

In this article, you will learn how agentic AI architecture has evolved by mid-2026, including the shift away from orchestrated reasoning loops, the rise of multi-agent swarms, and the standardization of tool protocols through MCP. Topics we will cover include: Why native reasoning models have made complex external orchestration frameworks increasingly redundant. How to design a multi-agent swarm using stateless specialist agents connected through handoff tools. How the Model Context Protocol, persistent memory graphs, and emerging security patterns define the current production landscape. Let’s not waste any more time. Introduction Look back at how we built AI agents just a…
