Connect an AgentCore Runtime hosted MCP server to Amazon Quick

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers allow foundation models to access external data and tools, supporting standardized, secure access to files, databases, and APIs. They give AI agents the ability to interact with real-world applications, reduce hallucinations with accurate context, and offer stateful, multi-turn capabilities. Industry-standard architectures quickly evolved and adopted MCP to power agentic AI …

A “quantum bath” puts quantum entanglement on autopilot

Physicists have demonstrated a new way to entangle distant quantum bits without the constant measurements and active control normally required. The team created a “quantum bath,” a shared environment filled with correlated microwave photons that automatically pushes separated qubits into an entangled state and helps keep them there. The experiment confirms a theoretical prediction made …

Linus Tech Tips – just experimenting with REFMOD by u/LuisaPinguinnn

For reference here’s the post about REFMOD by it’s creator (u/LuisaPinguinnn). I basically used an old dataset of Linus I had back from the SDXL days to extract a .safetensor file (“mod”) using the nodes from the repo. When using the mod, you don’t need reference images anymore. My prompt is basically just “A youtube …

We open-sourced Sopro V2 Turbo – a 120M voice cloning TTS model that runs 5x faster than real time on CPU

Sopro V2 Turbo is an open-source TTS model that runs locally.
