2026.08.137 min read IBM's $240 Million Together AI Deal Puts Open-Model Inference Costs in Focus IBM and Together AI plan a 2,000-chip Blackwell inference cluster for Q1 2027. The deal gives enterprises another option to compare on price, model quality, and operating requirements. ai-engineeringinfrastructuretechnology-leadership 2026.08.127 min read Mojo 1.0 Adds a Stability Commitment, but Replacing CUDA Still Takes Work Mojo 1.0 brings a stability commitment and an Apache 2.0 standard library. Competitive memory-bound benchmarks make it worth evaluating, though performance gaps and a closed compiler still… programmingtechnologyinfrastructure 2026.08.107 min read ByteDance's Reported 10 Trillion-Parameter Model Faces a Hardware Test ByteDance is reportedly training a huge AI model on domestic Chinese chips. The harder test is keeping 30,000 accelerators coordinated, supplied with data, and running through months of… technologyinfrastructureai-machine-learning 2026.08.097 min read SCTPhantom: An 18-Year-Old Linux SCTP Flaw Can Allow Container Escape Tencent researchers report a Linux SCTP use-after-free that can lead to root access and container escape. Exposure depends on SCTP access, with kernel patches and module restrictions… programmingtechnologyinfrastructure 2026.08.088 min read Terafab: Tesla and SpaceX's $16.8 Billion Plan to Control Chip Production Tesla and SpaceX plan to bring chip manufacturing, memory, packaging, and testing into one Texas complex. The case rests on faster development and reliable supply, but building a working… technologyai-engineeringinfrastructure 2026.08.077 min read AMD Plans to Acquire Taalas, Betting on AI Models Built Into Silicon AMD's planned Taalas acquisition targets a costly part of AI inference: moving model weights from memory. Taalas builds those weights into silicon, trading flexibility for claimed gains in… technologyai-engineeringinfrastructure 2026.08.067 min read GPUBreach: How GPU Rowhammer Reached Host Root with IOMMU Enabled University of Toronto researchers demonstrated a path from GDDR6 bit-flips to host root access. GPUBreach uses permitted DMA buffers and NVIDIA driver flaws to get past the protection IOMMU… programmingtechnologyinfrastructure 2026.08.058 min read Infinity's 10-Hour Chip Software Build Tests Nvidia's CUDA Advantage Infinity reportedly built CUDA-like software for an inference chip in about 10 hours. That could lower switching costs, but production testing and Nvidia's broader software stack remain… programmingai-engineeringinfrastructure 2026.08.047 min read Andy Pavlo Joins ClickHouse to Build a Database Research Lab Andy Pavlo is leaving Carnegie Mellon to establish ClickHouse Labs.
