On February 28, United States and Israeli forces launched a series of strikes on Iran, kicking off turmoil in the Middle East.Pete Hegseth, the secretary of the Department of Defense, said in a recent press conference that the operation could last as long as eight weeks. President Donald Trump himself said in a press conference on March 2 that the administration projected the operation would last four or five weeks but had “the capability to go far longer than that.”This week Iran has responded in turn, attacking Israel, regional US embassies and military bases, and other sites across the Middle…

(UW Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship Photo / Matt Hagen) A team of students from the University of Washington took home the top prize in the Hollomon Health Innovation Challenge on Wednesday as the UW swept the 11th annual competition. CPRight won the $15,000 Holloman Family grand prize as well as the $2,500 Naturacur Wound Healing Best Idea for a Medical Device prize in the student competition. CPRight is a real-time…

Over the past 18 months, the enterprise technology narrative has been dominated by a singular, persistent theme: artificial intelligence, more specifically agentic AI. From CES to NRF to the World Economic Forum, every vendor, service provider and analyst firm has been preaching the gospel of AI. Yet if we pull back the curtain on the actual state of AI agent deployments, a different story emerges. Though the vision and ambition are there, the execution is lagging. The data supports this observation. Despite nearly 80% of organizations experimenting with agentic AI in the last year, a significant portion of these projects…

To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.But common approaches that give LLMs this capability set a fixed computational budget for every problem, regardless of how complex it is. This means the LLM might waste computational resources on simpler questions or be unable to tackle intricate problems that require more reasoning.To address this, MIT researchers developed a smarter way to allocate computational effort as the LLM solves a problem. Their method enables the model to dynamically adjust its computational budget based on the difficulty of…

It’s not necessarily the guys you might expect, Apollo Knapp told me.These are 6-foot-tall high-school athletes, guys who are social and popular. “They’re the type of people that are friends with everybody, who get dapped up in the hallway every two feet,” said Knapp, an 18-year-old high school senior in Ohio and a board member at sexual violence prevention nonprofit SafeBAE.But at his school, these are the guys using AI to help them talk to girls. They’ll paste their texts into ChatGPT for feedback before sending, he said. Or, they’ll send their own photos to ChatGPT and ask, “am I…

The content problem in SaaS is not an AI problem. It never was. It is an honesty problem. And until teams start treating content as a thinking tool instead of a traffic machine, nothing changes. Somewhere along the way, SaaS content marketing strategy became a race to publish more of the same thing faster, something many teams now try to fix with frameworks like the SaaS content marketing playbook. Ten tips for improving your pipeline. Five ways to reduce churn. The ultimate guide to something nobody asked you to be the ultimate authority on. And now everyone is blaming AI…

Introduction API builders have seen an explosion of model choices. Gigantic language models once dominated, but the past two years have seen a surge of small language models (SLMs)—systems with tens of millions to a few billion parameters—that offer impressive capabilities at a fraction of the cost and hardware footprint. As of March 2026, pricing for frontier models still ranges from $15–$75 per million tokens, but cost‑efficient mini models now deliver near‑state‑of‑the‑art accuracy for under $1 per million tokens. Clarifai’s Reasoning Engine, for example, produces 544 tokens per second and charges only $0.16 per million tokens—two important metrics that signal how…

Today the White House announced that several major players in tech and AI have agreed to steps that will keep electricity costs from rising due to data centers. Under this Ratepayer Protection Pledge, companies are agreeing to practices that are intended to protect residents from seeing higher electricity costs as more and more businesses create power-hungry data centers. Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle and xAI have all apparently signed on. A few of the participants — Amazon, Google and Meta — had conveniently timed press releases patting themselves on the back for their participation and touting whatever other policies…

Tycoon 2FA, one of the prominent phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) toolkits that allowed cybercriminals to stage adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) credential harvesting attacks at scale, was dismantled by a coalition of law enforcement agencies and security companies. The subscription-based phishing kit, which first emerged in August 2023, was described by Europol as one of the largest phishing operations worldwide. The kit was available for a starting price of $120 for 10 days or $350 for access to a web-based administration panel for a month. The panel serves as a hub for configuring, tracking, and refining campaigns. It features pre‑built templates, attachment files for common…

The Samsung Galaxy S26, OnePlus 15, and Google Pixel 10 all land within shouting distance of each other on price, run the same operating system, and target roughly the same buyer. But spend any real time with them and it becomes clear that each one is making a completely different argument for why you should hand over your money. This piece breaks down where each phone genuinely earns its price tag — hardware, software, cameras, battery, and everything in between — so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way. Price and availability The Galaxy S26 and OnePlus…
