Introduction The large‑language‑model (LLM) boom has shifted the bottleneck from training to efficient inference. By 2026, companies are running chatbots, code assistants and retrieval‑augmented search engines at scale, and a single model may answer millions of queries per day. Serving these models efficiently has become as critical as training them, yet the deployment landscape is fragmented. Frameworks like vLLM, TensorRT‑LLM running on Triton and Hugging Face’s Text Generation Inference (TGI) each promise different benefits. Meanwhile, Clarifai’s compute orchestration lets enterprises deploy, monitor and switch between these engines across cloud, on‑premise or edge environments. It examines technical bottlenecks such as the…
I was fortunate enough to spend several days last week at the Aspen Institute’s Crosscurrent summit on AI and national security in San Francisco. My first takeaway: I very much recommend being in sunny (at the moment, at least) San Francisco rather than slushy, raw New York in early March. The second took a little longer to form.The conference was full of former national security officials, cybersecurity executives, and AI leaders, and the conversation mostly went where you’d expect: the Anthropic-Pentagon fight, the role of AI in the Iran conflict, the coming of autonomous weapons. But the panel that stuck…
The pricing model your SaaS marketing agency recommends says a lot about who benefits from the deal. Most buyers find out too late which side that is. You get on a call with a SaaS marketing agency. The deck looks sharp. The case studies are impressive. The team seems to get your space. Then comes the pricing slide, and suddenly you’re nodding along to a structure you don’t fully understand, agreeing to terms you’ll regret in Q3. It happens more than most SaaS leaders admit. Not because the agencies are dishonest, but because pricing models carry assumptions baked in, and…
At the start of the year, Google brought a host of new Gemini-powered features, including built-in Nano Banana image generation, to Chrome. After debuting in the United States, those features are now making their way to Chrome users in Canada, India and New Zealand, with support for 50 additional in tow. Among the new languages Gemini in Chrome can now converse in are French, Gujarati, Hindi and Spanish.To try out Gemini in Chrome, tap the sparkle icon at the top right of the interface. This will open the sidebar interface Google introduced in January. From there, you can chat with…
Those 30-second unskippable ads before your favorite creator’s video are adding up to something massive. YouTube generated $40.4 billion in advertising revenue last year, according to new estimates from media research firm MoffettNathanson, and that figure tops the combined $37.8 billion ad haul from four of Hollywood’s biggest players, Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount Skydance, and Warner Bros. Discovery. The numbers mark a major shift from 2024. Back then, YouTube’s $36.1 billion still trailed that same group of traditional media companies, which pulled in $41.8 billion together. Add Fox to the mix and legacy TV still edges out YouTube at $44.8 billion,…
In the din of excitement about the artificial intelligence revolution, a more subtle but intriguing debate is now unfolding among journalists and media executives worldwide: If AI systems are being trained on our journalism, shouldn’t we be compensated for that work? You might call it the “Does AI owe for news?” debate.The proposed solution now gaining traction in policy and press circles is known as “statutory licensing,” under which AI companies would be required to pay news publishers if AI models are trained on their articles. The notion is no longer fringe, and has gained steam in recent months in…
The Hacker NewsMar 10, 2026Artificial Intelligence / Threat Detection Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a tool we talk to; it is a tool that does things for us. These are called AI Agents. They can send emails, move data, and even manage software on their own. But there is a problem. While these agents make work faster, they also open a new “back door” for hackers. The Problem: “The Invisible Employee” Think of an AI Agent like a new employee who has the keys to every office in your building but doesn’t have a name tag. Because these…

At Anthropic’s first court hearing challenging sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, the AI tech startup asked the government to commit that it wouldn’t levy additional penalties on the company. That didn’t happen.“I am not prepared to offer any commitments on that issue,” James Harlow, a Justice Department attorney, told US district judge Rita Lin over videoconference on Tuesday.In fact, the government is gearing up to take another step designed to sideline the company from doing business with federal agencies. President Trump is currently finalizing an executive order that would formally ban usage of Anthropic tools across the government, according…
Just as Darwin’s finches evolved in response to natural selection in order to endure, the cells that make up a cancerous tumor similarly counter selective pressures in order to survive, evolve, and spread. Tumors are, in fact, complex sets of cells with their own unique structure and ability to change. Today, artificial Intelligence and machine learning tools offer an unparalleled opportunity to illuminate the generalizable rules governing tumor progression on the genetic, epigenetic, metabolic, and microenvironmental levels. Matthew G. Jones, an assistant professor in the MIT Department of Biology, the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, and the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science,…
