Canadian startup Taalas claims nothing less than to rewrite the economics of AI inference. The HC1 is not just another GPU clone, not a TPU knockoff, not a “me too” accelerator with HBM towers and 700-watt TDP. It is a hardwired model. Specifically: Llama 3.1 8B, physically cast in silicon. 17,000 tokens per second – […]

I admit, I naively assumed that age verification meant something like a binary flag. Over 18, under 18, done. An additional check mark in the database, perhaps a one-time comparison, minimally invasive, purpose-built. Instead, we now see an infrastructure that is more reminiscent of opening a bank account than accessing a gaming or community server. Discord […]

Intel is shifting part of its customer support toward automation and calling it “Agentic AI.” Specifically, this refers to the “Ask Intel” program, a virtual assistant based on Microsoft Copilot Studio. The message is clear: less waiting time, fewer standard inquiries for support staff, and greater efficiency through AI. However, the reality is likely to […]

The Top.E R1 aims to bring about nothing less than a paradigm shift. Instead of stubbornly building up the component layer by layer along a fixed Z-axis, this printer brings movement into play. Literally. The printing plate can not only be adjusted in height, but also tilted by up to 30 degrees. This is not […]

NVIDIA has sold its remaining ARM shares, worth around $140 million. This formally ends a chapter that began in 2020 with the ambitious, ultimately failed attempt to acquire Arm Holdings. Strategically, however, this move is not a retreat from the CPU world, but rather a signal: NVIDIA wants to remain flexible as the balance of […]

What has been considered a systemic weakness of 3D printing for decades is being tackled head-on here: time. Traditional additive processes build components layer by layer. This is precise, but slow. A research team at Tsinghua University now claims to have eliminated this bottleneck, at least on a millimeter scale. The process is called Digital […]

When compliance becomes a mere formality, a single programming error is enough to bring even the most sophisticated security architecture crashing down. That is exactly what happened with Microsoft Copilot. A bug in the code allowed the AI assistant to display confidential content from Outlook folders, even though this content was protected by data loss […]

A blind test with over 1,000 participants reveals an uncomfortable truth: upscaling is no longer the compromise that many still sell it as. In a community comparison by ComputerBase, DLSS 4.5 clearly outperformed native resolution with TAA and AMD’s FSR 4. The result is clear and strategically explosive. Test setup: 4K, quality preset, no marketing […]

Cloud gaming has long been the industry’s promise to retire the console. Now Nvidia is setting the next strategic marker: GeForce Now is officially launching on select Amazon Fire TV devices for the first time. Specifically, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Fire TV Stick 4K of certain generations are supported, among others. What […]

Intel is taking a tougher stance. “AI PC” is set to become a de facto standard rather than just a marketing buzzword. According to statements by Intel Japan CEO Makoto Ohno, the company expects every second PC sold by 2026 to be an AI PC. This is not casual optimism, but a strategic announcement. And […]

The warning does not come from an analyst, but from the front line. K.S. Pua, CEO of Phison, speaks openly of a structural shift in the memory market. DRAM and NAND shortages are not cyclical, but systemic. And they could continue until 2030 or even beyond. This is not a short-term dip. It is a […]
