The Microsoft Azure Outage Shows the Harsh Reality of Cloud Failures
The second major cloud outage in less than two weeks, Azure’s downtime highlights the “brittleness” of a digital ecosystem that depends on a few companies never making mistakes.

Language models can generate text and reason impressively, yet they remain isolated by default.
Language models prompted with a user description or persona are being used to predict the user’s preferences and opinions. However, existing approaches to building personas mostly rely on a user’s demographic attributes and/or prior judgments, but not on any underlying reasoning behind a user’s judgments. We introduce PB&J (Psychology of Behavior and Judgments), a framework …

In an industry where model size is often seen as a proxy for intelligence, IBM is charting a different course — one that values efficiency over enormity, and accessibility over abstraction. The 114-year-old tech giant’s four new Granite 4.0 Nano models, released today, range from just 350 million to 1.5 billion parameters, a fraction of …
Researchers at Tsinghua University developed the Optical Feature Extraction Engine (OFE2), an optical engine that processes data at 12.5 GHz using light rather than electricity. Its integrated diffraction and data preparation modules enable unprecedented speed and efficiency for AI tasks. Demonstrations in imaging and trading showed improved accuracy, lower latency, and reduced power demand. This …
