Medtech dealmakers remained busy over the first half of 2026, building on the decade-high M&A activity achieved last year with a string of deals worth upward of $1 billion. PwC recently reported $36.5 billion in medtech acquisitions over the first half of this year, with deal volumes and values tracking above the midpoint of 2025….
Featured projects Training state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) with billions of parameters requires distributed training across hundreds or thousands of GPUs. At this scale, hardware failures are not exceptional events—they are expected. A single GPU memory error, network partition, or node crash can bring down an entire training run that has been progressing for days…
sqlite-utils 4.0rc2, mostly written by Claude Fable (for about $149.25) 5th July 2026 I wrote about the sqlite-utils 4.0rc1 release a couple of weeks ago. Since we only have Claude Fable on our Max subscriptions for a few more days, I decided to see if it could help me get to a 4.0 stable release…
MILPITAS, Calif., July 6, 2026 — Sandisk Corporation has announced it is sampling its BiCS10 1Tb TLC, its 10th-generation 3D NAND flash memory technology. BiCS10 applies advanced lateral scaling techniques to achieve industry-leading 1Tb TLC memory density greater than 29Gb/mm2, improving bit density by 59 percent while delivering up to 4.8Gb/s interface speed, a 33 percent…
Vision Language Models, or VLMs, are AI models that can understand both visual content and language. While earlier models like CLIP and BLIP connected images with text, modern VLMs can analyze images, read documents, interpret charts, answer visual questions, and support multimodal conversations. Models like GPT-4o, Gemini, Claude Vision, and Qwen-VL are making visual AI…
When I walked into my last doctor’s appointment, I had to do a double take. The physician who entered the room looked like a teenager. I don’t mean that in a dismissive way — she was just unmistakably young. Clear skin, easy smile, an iPad, no clipboard. She introduced herself, apologized for running a few…

Today, Google DeepMind and A24 are announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership focused on research. The collaboration pairs a world-leading research lab with the industry’s most filmmaker-forward studio to help artists develop new workflows and techniques. This ensures the tools of the future are shaped by the creators who use them. This partnership creates a deep research…
A leak reported by PhoneArena claims Google’s next major Linux kernel upgrade will cover the Pixel 7 through Pixel 10 but skip the Pixel 6. The source, Mystic Leaks, carries explicit reliability caveats, and Google hasn’t confirmed anything. But the underlying situation is real regardless of whether this specific leak is right: the Pixel 6…
# Introduction Data scientists at companies running AI in production are spending more time on AI oversight and system supervision than on model construction. Job postings and salary data from 2025 and 2026 confirm it. LinkedIn’s 2025 data identified AI literacy and large language model (LLM) proficiency as two of the fastest-growing skills globally. Lightcast…
