Phaidra leaders, from left: CTO Vedavyas Panneershelvam, CEO Jim Gao, and COO Katherine Hoffman. (Phaidra Photo) Phaidra, a startup using artificial intelligence to make data center operations more energy efficient, this week announced key collaborations with Nvidia, CoreWeave and Applied Digital. The Seattle company revealed “groundbreaking methodology” that predicts and prevents data center heat spikes when computing workloads surge. Phaidra has been partnering with cloud provider CoreWeave and data center operator Applied Digital to test and deploy the cooling strategy. As data center operations and deployments boom nationwide, demand for energy and water to run the facilities and cool the…

Cybersecurity solutions and services provider Specter Ops Inc. today announced an expansion of its BloodHound Enterprise platform to cover Okta Inc., GitHub and Mac environments and introduced new OpenGraph extensions to map and remediate identity-based attack paths across hybrid systems. The new BloodHound Enterprise expands identity attack path visibility and remediation to allow organizations to identify and prioritize hybrid attack paths across identity providers, applications and repositories. At the same time, they can access remediation guidance to shut down pathways before they can be exploited. The new capabilities also support customers in maturing their identity attack path management practice. Features of the…

Introduction Open‑weight models are rapidly narrowing the gap with closed commercial systems. As of early 2026, Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2.5 is the flagship of this trend: a one‑trillion parameter Mixture‑of‑Experts (MoE) model that accepts images and videos, reasons over long contexts and can autonomously call external tools. Unlike closed alternatives, its weights are publicly downloadable under a modified MIT licence, enabling unprecedented flexibility. This article explains how K2.5 works, evaluates its performance, and helps AI infrastructure teams decide whether and how to adopt it. Throughout we incorporate original frameworks like the Kimi Capability Spectrum and the AI Infra Maturity Model…

When Sam Altman first told her that he’d never let OpenAI go corporate, that what he and his colleagues were building was too powerful to be driven by investors, Catherine Bracy more or less believed him.The conversation took place in 2022, when Bracy, CEO and founder of the social mobility-focused nonprofit TechEquity, was interviewing Altman for a book she was writing about the dangers of venture capital. It was before Altman’s mysterious firing and unfiring a year later, after which he mostly stopped responding to Bracy’s texts.And ever since then, OpenAI — which was initially founded as a nonprofit in…

Key Takeaways Best practices for threat detection in hybrid cloud environments focus on visibility across both cloud and on-premise systems. Hybrid cloud monitoring helps security teams identify suspicious behavior across distributed workloads. Detection and response strategies must connect identity, network, and workload activity. Automating incident response in a hybrid cloud environment improves containment and investigation speed. Hybrid cloud environments rarely start as a carefully planned architecture. Most organizations reach that point gradually.A few workloads move to the cloud first. Then development teams adopt additional cloud services. Meanwhile, critical systems continue running on-premise because they cannot easily migrate.Over time, the result…

The content vs. sales debate has been running for years. Here’s why the war itself is the wrong battle – and what SaaS organizations should be fighting for instead. The debate has been running for years now. Sales teams think marketing is making noise. Marketing teams think sales is sabotaging their leads. Both factions are presenting their case like it’s 1847 and they’re arguing land borders. Here’s the problem: the war itself is the problem. Not the teams. Not the strategy. The framing. The first touch is dead. Nobody told the playbooks. Ask most SaaS organizations how they think about…

Subnautica 2 has weathered the storm and has rescheduled its early access release. IGN reported today that the sequel to the underwater survival game will begin early access on PC and Xbox in May, although a more specific date was not provided.The news comes a day after a judge ruled that former Unknown Worlds Entertainment CEO Ted Gill should be rehired at the game studio. That decision capped off a dramatic year for the team behind Subnautica, which was acquired by Krafton in 2021. The studio and its new owners entered a legal battle because the purchase of Unknown Worlds…

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a new method for exfiltrating sensitive data from artificial intelligence (AI) code execution environments using domain name system (DNS) queries. In a report published Monday, BeyondTrust revealed that Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter’s sandbox mode permits outbound DNS queries that an attacker can exploit to enable interactive shells and bypass network isolation. The issue, which does not have a CVE identifier, carries a CVSS score of 7.5 out of 10.0. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter is a fully managed service that enables AI agents to securely execute code in isolated sandbox environments, such that…

Two NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) are about to climb into their spacesuits and enter the vacuum of space, and you can watch the event live. The first NASA spacewalk in nearly a year will begin at about 8 a.m. ET on Wednesday, March 18. Read on for full details on how to watch. Americans Jessica Meir and Chris Williams will exit the station’s Quest airlock to carry out work as part of preparations for a future roll-out solar array aimed at upgrading the station’s power supply. It will be Meir’s fourth spacewalk and Williams’ first. The…

The early years of faculty members’ careers are a formative and exciting time in which to establish a firm footing that helps determine the trajectory of researchers’ studies. This includes building a research team, which demands innovative ideas and direction, creative collaborators, and reliable resources. For a group of MIT faculty working with and on artificial intelligence, early engagement with the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab through projects has played an important role helping to promote ambitious lines of inquiry and shaping prolific research groups.Building momentum“The MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab has been hugely important for my success, especially when I was starting…
