As AI drives unprecedented network traffic and complexity, communications service providers (CSPs) have realized that manual, command line interface (CLI)–driven processes can no longer keep pace with network demands. They are embarking upon the most significant evolution of their transport networks in decades, shifting from legacy processes to intelligent, autonomous, AI-driven operations. Commissioned by Cisco and Ciena, a new Omdia white paper provides a close look at how global CSPs are using agentic AI to greatly enhance network performance. By analyzing the ambitious three-year roadmaps of 80 global operators, the research uncovers the top AI transport use cases, real-world challenges of legacy tool integration, and the massive potential for self-optimizing networks. It’s a blueprint for the future of autonomous connectivity…
TORONTO — Countries across Asia and Europe are accelerating their shift to clean energy—a transition hastened by the war in Iran. But with the Ottawa–Alberta memorandum of understanding on climate and energy policy more than a month overdue, Canada is risking locking in policy signals that leave it out of step with this rapidly restructuring global energy economy, warn Clean Energy Canada’s Rachel Doran and other climate and clean energy experts.In a joint letter sent today, the leaders of the Pembina Institute, Clean Energy Canada, Climate Action Network, Environmental Defence, Equiterre, and International Institute for Sustainable Development urge Prime Minister…
When I was building SwiftBash I made surprisingly quick headway on the basic CLI utilities — jq, awk, sed, grep. Each one is a small, well-scoped language, and once you sit down with the spec it really is just a parser and an evaluator. Then I hit a wall. The two CLIs I reach for most as a working developer aren’t tiny languages — they’re gh and glab, the GitHub and GitLab clients. And right next to them, the granddaddy of all dev CLIs: git. These aren’t 2,000-line tools. gh alone is roughly fifty thousand lines of Go, with subcommand…
Last year, at Cisco Live 2025 in Las Vegas, I was reviewing everything for my session “DEVNET-3707 – Network Telemetry and AI for Network Incident Response“. I always test my demos before my session, so I can be calm knowing it will work. However, this time during testing, I noticed the metrics in my Grafana dashboard were not showing up. I panicked and started troubleshooting. After a while I found an error in the Python script that was collecting telemetry data using NETCONF, but didn’t know why. Supposedly my script should always work regardless of the environment but it was…
What you need to knowThe Fitbit app is becoming the Google Health app starting May 19 following an automatic OTA update.Fitbit data will automatically carry over to Google Health, and Google Fit users will be invited to migrate their data later this year.Fitbit Premium is now Google Health Premium, and the annual plan is now $20 more expensive. However, it’s free for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in more than 30 countries.Google is no stranger to high-profile acquisitions, and we’ve seen the blueprint before. It buys a company, and eventually, the ecosystem becomes one with Google’s own ecosystem. We…

Anthropic today launched Claude Managed Agents as a research preview. Dreaming extends memory by reviewing past sessions to find patterns and help agents self-improve. We’re also making outcomes, multiagent orchestration, and webhooks available to developers building with Managed Agents. Together, these updates make agents more capable at handling complex tasks with minimal steering. Build self-improving agents with dreaming Dreaming is a scheduled process that reviews your agent sessions and memory stores, extracts patterns, and curates memories so your agents improve over time. You decide how much control you want: dreaming can update memory automatically, or you can review changes before they land.…
As road safety challenges evolve, brands are looking beyond traditional awareness campaigns to find new ways of influencing behaviour in everyday moments.

The session will explore how legalized betting, now widespread, is influencing both pro leagues and college athletics. Rapid expansion of legalized sports betting Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) in 2018, states…
