Researchers at Google have developed a new AI paradigm aimed at solving one of the biggest limitations in today’s large language models: their inability to learn or update their knowledge after training. The paradigm, called Nested Learning, reframes a model and its training not as a single process, but as a system of nested, multi-level optimization problems. The researchers argue that this approach can unlock more expressive learning algorithms, leading to better in-context learning and memory.To prove th

Three decades after RFC 1883 promised to future-proof the internet by expanding the available pool of IP addresses from around 4.3 billion to over 340 undecillion, IPv6 has yet to achieve the dominance its creators envisioned. Data from Google, APNIC and Cloudflare analyzed by The Register shows less than half of all internet users rely on IPv6 today. "IPv6 was an extremely conservative protocol that changed as little as possible,"... Read more ›

However, when I sold the story, my editor told me that since the song was still copyrighted, it was safer not to include the verses. If I had written […] Read more ›

For decades the data landscape was relatively static. Relational databases (hello, Oracle!) were the default and dominated, organizing information into familiar columns and rows.That stability eroded as successive waves introduced NoSQL document stores, graph databases, and most recently vector-based systems. In the era of agentic AI, data infrastructure is once again in flux — and evolving faster than at any point in recent memory.As 2026 dawns, one lesson has become... Read more ›

Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta’s agreement to acquire Manus for more than $2 billion — announced last night by both companies and reported in The Wall Street Journal — marks one of the clearest signals yet that large tech platforms are no longer just competing on model quality, but on who controls the execution layer of AI-powered work.Manus, a Singapore-based startup founded by Chinese entrepreneurs that debuted earlier this...

At 77-year-old promotional products company Gold Bond Inc., CIO Matt Price knew generative AI adoption wouldn’t come from rolling out a chatbot. Employees needed AI embedded into the work they already hated doing: messy ERP intake, document processing, and call follow-ups.Instead of pitching benchmarks, Price built a small group of “super-users” to surface Gold Bond–specific examples and train the rest of the org. They then wired Gemini and other models... Read more ›

The drumbeat for AI is deafening. We’re surrounded by a mix of hype, fear and intense pressure to do something with this technology that seems to be advancing at the speed of light. For CIOs and enterprise technology leaders, the path forward can seem murky and fraught with the risk of missteps. But I believe the greatest risk isn't getting it wrong; it's waiting for a “perfect” AI strategy while... Read more ›

Active Directory, LDAP, and early PAM were built for humans. AI agents and machines were the exception. Today, they outnumber people 82 to 1, and that human-first identity model is breaking down at machine speed.AI agents are the fastest-growing and least-governed class of these machine identities — and they don’t just authenticate, they act. ServiceNow spent roughly $11.6 billion on security acquisitions in 2025 alone — a signal that identity,... Read more ›

For the past year, enterprise decision-makers have faced a rigid architectural trade-off in voice AI: adopt a "Native" speech-to-speech (S2S) model for speed and emotional fidelity, or stick with a "Modular" stack for control and auditability. That binary choice has evolved into distinct market segmentation, driven by two simultaneous forces reshaping the landscape.What was once a performance decision has become a governance and compliance decision, as voice agents move from...
