When many enterprises weren’t even thinking about agentic behaviors or infrastructures, Booking.com had already “stumbled” into them with its homegrown conversational recommendation system.
This early experimentation has allowed the company to take a step back and avoid getting swept up in the frantic AI agent hype. Instead, it is taking a disciplined, layered, modular approach to model development: small, travel-specific models for cheap, fast inference; larger large language models (LLMs) for reasoning.

Here’s something that trips most people up: the world can be genuinely brutal, and you can still refuse to become brutal in return. Not in spite of what’s happened to you. Sometimes because of it. These two things are not in conflict. But holding them both at the same time, without letting one collapse into ... Read more Read more ›

Мы решили, что платить за «прокликивание» дашбордов в 2026 году — это грех, и собрали автономного AI-агента, который делает это лучше человека. Читать далее Read more ›

Запуск современных Text-to-Video моделей локально — задача не для слабонервных. Когда китайские исследователи из PKU-YuanGroup выложили в open-source свою модель Open-Sora-Plan, энтузиасты бросились её тестировать. Но есть нюанс: оригинальный пайплайн рассчитан на кластеры уровня H100/A100. Веса модели в полном разрешении занимают десятки гигабайт.Моя цель заключалась в том, чтобы запустить инференс Open-Sora-Plan (v1.3.0) в спартанских условиях — на абсолютно бесплатном инстансе Google Colab с видеокартой.

Приемная кампания в российских колледжах и вузах сопровождается публикацией обширных массивов данных на официальных сайтах. С одной стороны, это требование прозрачности процедуры зачисления. С другой стороны, существующий подход к обезличиванию информации содержит системную уязвимость, которая позволяет стороннему наблюдателю с высокой точностью сопоставить ФИО абитуриента с его номером СНИЛС.Я провел анализ открытых источников 100 учебных заведений (вузы и колледжи) и выяснил, что 87 из них оставляют возмо Read more ›

Engineers at the company spent the last year tearing that apart and replacing it with a single LLM-based system. The result, LinkedIn says, is a feed that... Read more ›

Companies can't just give a nod to accessibility -- and it can't just be a nice-to-have. The chasm between knowing and doing is not only exposing businesses to significant legal risk, it's also costing them actual business and growth opportunities. According to AudioEye’s newly released 2026... Read more ›

For more than two decades, digital businesses have relied on a simple assumption: When someone interacts with a website, that activity reflects a human making a conscious choice. Clicks are treated as signals of interest. Time on page is assumed to indicate engagement. Movement through a funnel is interpreted as intent. Entire growth strategies, marketing budgets, and product decisions have been built on this premise.Today, that assumption is quietly beginning... Read more ›

An attacker embeds a single instruction inside a forwarded email. An OpenClaw agent summarizes that email as part of a normal task. The hidden instruction tells the agent to forward credentials to an external endpoint. The agent complies — through a sanctioned API call, using its own OAuth tokens. The firewall logs HTTP 200. EDR records a normal process. No signature fires. Nothing went wrong by any definition your security... Read more ›
