I'm sitting here crazy and stressed while typing this. My mother is sick and needs money for medical care and I can't access my bank accounts because ProtonVPN's automated system decided I'm a "bot" and is literally torturing my connection - and their support is fully AI like crazy even in emergency. I don’t want to get technical but if Proton VPN thinks you are using P2P at high connections, Proton has this "DDoS guard" that "detects" false high speed P2P and throttles you, even if you use 1 ti

Samsung and SK Hynix, backed by the South Korean government, are pouring $590 billion into new chip factories and packaging centers as AI data center demand surges. According to Jefferies, memory prices could climb to 50 percent per quarter through 2027. The two companies control nearly 80 percent of the global HBM market.

xFusion presented scalable enterprise AI computing models at ISC 2026, transitioning hardware from edge devices to data centres. Enterprise technology buyers attending the Hamburg exhibition sought practical production frameworks. Hardware selection processes regularly fail to account for physical operating limits. Relying on public APIs exposes proprietary commercial data. xFusion engineers responded with a four-tier hardware […] The post xFusion scales enterprise AI from edge workstations to l

Flexion Robotics, a startup founded by ex-Nvidia engineers, has a clever way of training robots to do useful work.

You can now query Speed Insights datapoints directly through the Vercel CLI. Using the vercel metrics command, you can pull core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and other page performance metrics (FCP, TTFB) based on client-side measurements from real user traffic. By providing a coding agent access to the CLI, an agent can answer questions such as: Which pages' INP have regressed since last week? How is the perceived speed of my home page in Asia? Compare the CLS of the dashboard between mobile and

AI Gateway now supports audio/voice. You can add realtime voice, text to speech, and speech to text with the same calls you already use for text, image, and video, routed through AI Gateway alongside every other modality. Audio launches with models from OpenAI and xAI . Each call gets the same provider routing, observability, spend controls, and bring-your-own-key support you already use for your other models. These capabilities are in beta and available in AI SDK 7. Capability How it works Use

<p>The theme this week is consolidation: AI SDK 7 ships a provider-agnostic foundation for production agents, LangSmith closes the loop on observability with a purpose-built database and on-call triage automation, and Deno 2.9 quietly removes two more reasons to reach for heavier runtimes. If you've been duct-taping agent workflows together with custom adapters and scattered orchestration logic, the tooling is finally catching up.</p> <h3> AI SDK 7 standardizes agent development across providers

<h1> The state machine your agent runtime is missing: session state as first-class infrastructure </h1> <p>Your agent's chat interface is a lie. It looks like a conversation, but every turn resets the state machine. The model doesn't remember what it was doing — it reconstructs it from context. And when reconstruction fails, you become the retry protocol.</p> <p>This isn't a UI problem. It's a protocol problem.</p> <h2> The TCP analogy </h2> <p>A TCP connection has a state machine: SYN → SYN-ACK

arXiv:2509.17932v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are prone to generating factually incorrect content, motivating methods for assessing truthfulness from internal model signals. While supervised probing approaches can be effective, they require labeled data and classifier training. Recent training-free methods avoid parameter optimization but rely on coarse activation statistics that provide limited insight into how truthfulness-related signals arise within the mod

arXiv:2606.27410v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The primary goal of Remote Sensing Image Change Captioning (RSICC) is to automatically generate descriptions of changes between remote sensing images captured at different time points. Existing models still rely on a single autoregressive generation paradigm, which tends to prioritize learning easily generated vocabulary over capturing discriminative differences between images. To address this, we reframe the training paradigm and propose a novel
