Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service gets independent affirmation of its zero operator access design

Amazon EKS just went full Fort Knox. It now runs on azero operator accessmodel - meaning even AWS can’t peek inside your Kubernetes control or data plane. The setup leans on theNitro System’s confidential compute,guarded APIs, andmulti-party approval pipelines. NCC Group also kicked the tires and ga.. read more

Streamline Complex AI Inference on Kubernetes with NVIDIA Grove

NVIDIA releasedGrove, a Kubernetes API baked intoDynamo, to wrangle the chaos of modern AI inference. It pulls apart your big, messy model into clean, discrete chunks - prefill, decode, routing - and runs them like a single, orchestrated act. The trick?Custom hierarchical resources. They let Grove h.. read more

The 1 Billion Token Challenge: Finding the Perfect Pre-training Mix

Researchers squeezed GPT-2-class performance out of a model trained on just1 billion tokens- 10× less data - by dialing in a sharp dataset mix:50% finePDFs, 30% DCLM-baseline, 20% FineWeb-Edu. Static mixing beat curriculum strategies. No catastrophic forgetting. No overfitting. And it hit90%+of GPT-.. read more

Jensen Huang's Stark Warning: China's 1 Million AI Workers vs America's 20,000

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, in some leaked comments, didn’t mince words: U.S. export bans aren’t hobbling China’s AI game - they’re fueling it. He pointed to Huawei’s 910C chip edging close to H100 territory, a forecast putting China ahead in AI compute by 2027, and a fast-growing local chip industry n.. read more

It gives devs serious control: edit messages, fork threads, drop in files with @mentions, hand off conversations, or link threads to.. read more  

Context Management in Amp
BigQuery is a cloud-native, serverless analytics platform designed to store, query, and analyze massive volumes of structured and semi-structured data using standard SQL. It separates storage from compute, automatically scales resources, and eliminates the need for infrastructure management, indexing, or capacity planning.

BigQuery is optimized for analytical workloads such as business intelligence, log analysis, data science, and machine learning. It supports real-time data ingestion via streaming, batch loading from cloud storage, and federated queries across external data sources like Cloud Storage, Bigtable, and Google Drive.

Query execution is distributed and highly parallel, enabling interactive performance even on petabyte-scale datasets. The platform integrates deeply with the Google Cloud ecosystem, including Looker for BI, Vertex AI for ML workflows, Dataflow for streaming pipelines, and BigQuery ML, which allows users to train and run machine learning models directly using SQL.

Built-in security features include fine-grained IAM controls, column- and row-level security, encryption by default, and audit logging. BigQuery follows a consumption-based pricing model, charging for storage and queries (on-demand or reserved capacity).
