Today, I’m happy to announce new serverless customization in Amazon SageMaker AI for popular AI models, such as Amazon Nova, DeepSeek, GPT-OSS, Llama, and Qwen. The new customization capability provides an easy-to-use interface for the latest fine-tuning techniques like reinforcement learning, so you can accelerate the AI model customization process from months to days. With a few clicks, you can seamlessly select a model and customization technique, and handle model evaluation and deployment—all entirely serverless so you can focus on model tuning rather than managing infrastructure. When you choose serverless customization, SageMaker AI automatically selects and provisions the appropriate compute…

A sprawling academic cheating network turbocharged by Google Ads that has generated nearly $25 million in revenue has curious ties to a Kremlin-connected oligarch whose Russian university builds drones for Russia’s war against Ukraine. The Nerdify homepage. The link between essay mills and Russian attack drones might seem improbable, but understanding it begins with a simple question: How does a human-intensive academic cheating service stay relevant in an era when students can simply ask AI to write their term papers? The answer – recasting the business as an AI company – is just the latest chapter in a story of…

British Columbia faces a triple heat threat.  Summers are getting hotter and dangerous heatwaves are becoming likelier, posing serious risks to public health and safety. Nearly half of BC households (44 per cent) still don’t have access to cooling in their homes and could experience extreme discomfort or even serious health issues such as heat stroke and dehydration. Already, many households have turned to plugging in inefficient, standalone air conditioners. If this trend continues, it will add significant demand to BC’s electricity grid and lock households into needlessly expensive summer hydro bills. At the same time, the rising cost of…

Over the course of the last year, I’ve had quite a few side projects that required some way to get text from a variety of sources, with code and frameworks found in a number of private repos. A while ago, I felt an inkling to start pulling those together into an open source project. So this will be my Christmas gift for you this year. SwiftText collects various ways of getting text — or, if possible, Markdown — from a variety of sources and places.Update: … now Images, PDFs, Word DOCX and also HTML pages or URLs. One such use…

I have controversial opinions about cameras and think many people dramatically overromanticize the style you get from vintage cameras. Don’t even get me started on CCD digicams. But there is no denying that film has a visual quality that you can’t get from a digital camera — at least not without simulated effects. To take advantage of that in coolest way possible, Henry Kidman 3D-printed his own cinema film camera.This is a DIY cinema camera that accepts 16mm film. A century ago, such a camera would have been either entirely mechanical or electromechanical. Designing and manufacturing those cameras was a…

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityMost software updates follow the same familiar pattern: release notes, a rollout, and then the inevitable cataloging of bugs by disgruntled users, typically on Reddit. What we don’t often see is a company employee showing up in those threads to respond in real time, explain design choices, and acknowledge what needs fixing. That’s exactly what’s happening right now in r/remarkabletablet. A user posting under u/Vegardfromremarkable, who identifies himself as part of reMarkable’s customer care team, has been actively engaging with reMarkable tablet users, and I find this super laudable and interesting. A rare move in a quiet…

As 2025 comes to a close, SD Times is looking back at the top software development news stories of the year across the industry. Here are 10 of what we believe to be the biggest stories we covered throughout the year: Linux Foundation forms Agentic AI Foundation to be new home for MCP, goose, and AGENTS.md The Linux Foundation earlier this month announced that it is forming the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) to promote transparent and collaborative evolution of agentic AI. Three major projects have been donated to the foundation at launch: Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block’s goose, and…

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. Understanding AI’s energy use was a huge global conversation in 2025 as hundreds of millions of people began using generative AI tools on a regular basis. Senior reporters James O’Donnell and Casey Crownhart dug into the numbers and published an unprecedented look at AI’s resource demand, down to the level of a single query, to help us know how much energy and water AI may require moving forward.  We’re learning more about what vitamin D does to our bodies Vitamin D deficiency is widespread, particularly in…
