Major ecosystem overhaul replaces Gold status with new tiers and unified incentives to drive AI readiness. In sum – what we know: The new program – Cisco 360 Partner Program has officially launched, replacing a 25-year-old framework to consolidate programs and drive profitability. New tier structure – Eliminates Gold designation; introduces Registered, Portfolio, and Preferred Partners based on specific value and capabilities. AI and telecom focus: Introduces “Secure AI Infrastructure” specialization targeting AI-ready data centers and mass-scale infrastructure relevant to telecom operators. Cisco is completely revamping its partner program. The company has announced the new Cisco 360 Partner Program, representing the company’s most sweeping ecosystem…

safetensors is a new, simple, fast, and safe file format for storing tensors. The design of the file format and its original implementation are being led by Hugging Face, and it’s getting largely adopted in their popular ‘transformers’ framework. The safetensors R package is a pure-R implementation, allowing to both read and write safetensor files. The initial version (0.1.0) of safetensors is now on CRAN. Motivation The main motivation for safetensors in the Python community is security. As noted in the official documentation: The main rationale for this crate is to remove the need to use pickle on PyTorch which…

Liquid biopsies unlock noninvasive cancer screening and monitoring by analyzing cancer biomarkers in blood, but the signals can be sparse and noisy. Exai Bio has pioneered AI-driven liquid biopsy using novel small RNA biomarkers. In recent work, Exai-1 and Orion – two new generative AI for cell-free RNA – achieve breakthroughs in signal denoising and early cancer detection. These advances were made possible by Databricks’ lakehouse architecture and cloud AI infrastructure. By unifying large genomic datasets and providing managed ML tools (MLflow, Workflows, scalable clusters), Databricks enables Exai’s researchers to train large multimodal models on thousands of patient samples. In this joint…

For many of us, education has been a one-size-fits-all experience. You sit in a classroom (or these days, sometimes, in front of a laptop or tablet), a teacher lectures, you listen and take notes. There are labs where you get your hands dirty, and teachers call on students to answer questions and participate, but for the most part, everyone gets the same lessons, homework, and quizzes, then you move on to a new topic. This uniform approach doesn’t help students that are ahead of schedule, and more consequentially, it doesn’t serve students that fall behind.What about learners without access to…

A new Internet-of-Things (IoT) botnet called Kimwolf has spread to more than 2 million devices, forcing infected systems to participate in massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and to relay other malicious and abusive Internet traffic. Kimwolf’s ability to scan the local networks of compromised systems for other IoT devices to infect makes it a sobering threat to organizations, and new research reveals Kimwolf is surprisingly prevalent in government and corporate networks. Image: Shutterstock, @Elzicon. Kimwolf grew rapidly in the waning months of 2025 by tricking various “residential proxy” services into relaying malicious commands to devices on the local networks of…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Or support our Kickstarter campaign! Tesla’s decision to remove Autopilot and Autosteer as standard features in North America initially struck me as a step backward for safety, a cash grab for the Full Self Driving monthly subscription and as such an attempt to boost TSLA stock price. That reaction was almost automatic. I’ve used and appreciated Autopilot and Autosteer in rented Teslas, liking that it smoothed the boring bits of driving while still letting me have fun in the twisty windy bits. For years, Autopilot has been framed,…

Setup: I have a segment view with 3 segments, and the last one (at index 2) is disabled. Issue: When I drag the liquid glass handle of the segment view from what was previously selected to the disabled segment, the liquid glass handle freezes mid-air. Workaround: I can still interact with the handle and manually restore its position, or tap on any other segment to restore its position. Notes: I’m using UIKit, and no extra customizations are applied. class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var segmentView: UISegmentedControl! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() segmentView.removeAllSegments() let segments = ["Option 1", "Option 2",…

Seamlessly transferring data between cloud and edge devices is crucial for IoT applications across various industries, such as healthcare, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, and aerospace. For example, it enables aircraft operators to seamlessly transfer software updates to aircraft fleets, eliminating the operational burden of manual updates with physical storage devices. By leveraging AWS IoT and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), you can establish a data transfer mechanism that enables real-time and historical data exchange between the cloud and edge devices. Introduction This blog post guides you through the step-by-step process of transferring data in the form of files from Amazon…

NotebookLM is too good not to try. This is what you need to know. Joseph Maldonado/CNET Of the countless AI tools available today, NotebookLM remains virtually one-of-a-kind. As a Google app that uses AI to help you work with your own source material — and only the stuff you provide it — it’s essentially without peer. Similar tools still lack either function, polish or both, giving this Google option no equal, at least not yet.NotebookLM is an AI research assistant that lets you ask questions and create deliverables from the data that you feed it. Unlike a typical AI chatbot,…

Cell penetrating peptide (CPP) has been highlighted for promising potential in cytosolic delivery, enabling applications as carriers to penetrate across biological barriers such as cell membrane, mucosa, stratum corneum, and blood-brain barrier [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. These peptides were extensively employed as delivery vehicles for intracellular protein transport [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], via genetic engineering [1], [12], or chemically conjugation [13], [14], [15] onto cargo proteins. The CPP-tagged proteins have shown increased cellular uptake, but their delivery efficacy is usually unsufficient due to endosomal entrapment. In addition, the conjugated peptides may affect the bioactivity of cargo proteins…
