At 620 million monthly users, calling a frontier model for every image recommendation isn't a strategy — it's a bill. Pinterest CTO Matt Madrigal solved it by gutting Qwen3-VL's vision layer and rebuilding it with proprietary embeddings, cutting costs 90% and boosting accuracy 30%.Madrigal’s team has been heavily investing in customizing open-source models “foundationally in-house.” “If you've got really unique data that you can then fine-tune an open source model with, data quality will, frankly, outweigh.

Перед офером разработчиков в Яндексе ждут несколько этапов отбора, и один из них — причём вокруг которого ходит больше всего мифов — это собеседование с алгоритмическими задачами. В Яндекс Практикуме прошёл вебинар, где двое выпускников прошли тренировочное интервью, а эксперт-интервьюер дал фидбек, подсветил ошибки и дал рекомендации. Самое интересное — в этой статье.

Meshcore – независимая меш-сеть, поднятая энтузиастами по всему миру для связи при ЧС и не только. Сеть независит от… тех, тех, вот тех и особенно ВО-О-ОН-от-ТЕХ! 😊 Когда в очередной раз власти кладут мобильный интернет и сотовую сеть и все ваши тщетные попытки дописаться в мессенджерах или дозвониться близким тонут в массе матерных эпитетов в адрес известно кого, наверное, у вас возникала мысль о том, что было бы неплохо иметь...

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Евгений, я ведущий разработчик отдела SAP разработки, и в зависимости от настроения надеваю маски Техлида или Архитектора. Большинству из нас рано или поздно приходится сталкиваться с ситуацией, когда есть проблема, достаточно сложная и долгоиграющая. Неважно даже, техническая она или организационная. Главное что ее не решить с наскока, более того, даже чтобы эту самую проблему сформулировать, нужно поговорить с людьми, посидеть, подумать, описать, и... повторить раз нескольк Read more ›

С распространением микросервисной архитектуры и облачных технологий платформа Kubernetes стала фактическим стандартом оркестрации контейнеризированных приложений. Kubernetes обеспечивает автоматическое развертывание, масштабирование и управление контейнерами, позволяя организациям быстро развивать и поддерживать сложные распределенные системы. Однако вместе с высокой гибкостью и автоматизацией платформа существенно усложняет обеспечение информационной безопасности.В статье рассказываем, почему Kubernetes тр Read more ›

О подходе к пользователям во ВВ я узнала от продакта, когда готовилась к собеседованию на рейтинги и отзывы в Авито. Я посмотрела презентацию и была поражена подготовкой поддержки, примеры там выглядели как фантастика: они рассказывали что подстраиваются под настроение пользователя, учат его чувствовать и если видят, что он на взводе - то это значит, что не время шутить. Многим это может показаться очевидным, но в поддержке я встречаю что отвечают... Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! Это SafeMobile. Прошлым летом Google объявил, что на Android телефоны можно будет устанавливать приложения только от проверенных разработчиков. С тех пор нас регулярно спрашивают, что будет с устройствами, которыми управляет MDM – могут ли они остаться без управления, будут ли проблемы с распространением инхаусного софта и т.д.В этой статье мы расскажем, что узнали – если на устройствах нет сервисов Google, можно не беспокоиться, но и на сертифицированных Google...

At a CISO roundtable organized by Anthropic's chief information security officer, Dev Rishi asked a simple question: Did everyone in the room have their AI governance and security policies written down? Every hand went up — about 14 people, by his count. His follow-up, about how anyone actually enforces those policies in practice, got a different response. "And everybody chuckled," Rishi, the GM of AI at Rubrik, recalled at VB... Read more ›

Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying... Read more ›

Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception.This...

Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce confident, wrong answers traced to missing or inconsistent context. A governed semantic layer is emerging... Read more ›

Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents. The security stack is overwhelmingly borrowed from... Read more ›

Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total... Read more ›

When Cisco ran 6,986 multi-turn attacks against 15 flagship models, attackers who adapted across the conversation broke through as often as 88.3% of the time. Amy Chang, Cisco's head of AI threat intelligence and security research, brought that finding to the agentic security panel at VB Transform 2026; the number should worry anyone still running single-turn red-teaming programs.VentureBeat's June 2026 Pulse survey of 107 enterprise respondents explains why the room...

Black Forest Labs (BFL) is expanding its FLUX family beyond image generation with today's launch of FLUX 3, a multimodal frontier model trained to understand and generate images, or combined audio/video clips up to 20 seconds from a single prompt — and to extend the same underlying architecture to robotic vision and actions.The Freiburg, Germany-based AI lab says FLUX 3 is jointly trained across those modalities rather than assembling separate...

Two weeks after debuting its more naturalistic GPT-Live audio AI model with full-duplex capabilities (listening and speaking at the same time), OpenAI is bringing it directly into developer workflows.

Microsoft AI released two new in-house models into public preview on Wednesday — MAI-Image-2.5-Pro, its highest-fidelity image generator to date, and MAI-Voice-2-Flash, a speech model built for high-volume enterprise workloads — while publishing production data that amounts to the company's most aggressive argument yet that it can power its own products without leaning on OpenAI's frontier models.The announcement, made by Microsoft AI's Superintelligence team, lands roughly a year after the...
