Have a question that needs to process an encyclopedia-length dataset? Nvidia says its new technique can answer it instantly. Built leveraging the company’s Blackwell processor’s capabilities, the new “Helix Parallelism” method allows AI agents to process millions of words — think encyclopedia-length — and support up to 32x more users at a time. While this could dramatically improve how agents analyze voluminous amounts of text in real time, some note that, at least for enterprise applications, it may be overkill. “Nvidia’s multi-million-token context window is an impressive engineering milestone, but for most companies, it’s a solution in search of a [...]
Post Office managers and supplier Fujitsu allowed erroneous data from the Horizon IT accounting system to be used to prosecute hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters, despite knowing it was flawed, the first part of a report on the UK’s biggest ever IT scandal has found. The results of this mismanagement were devastating, with the report estimating that prosecutions by the Post Office were a factor in at least 13 suicides, with a further 59 people telling the Horizon IT inquiry that they contemplated taking their own lives. As one sub-postmaster testified: “The mental stress was so great for me that [...]
Microsoft 365 (and Office 365) subscribers get more frequent software updates than those who have purchased Office without a subscription, which means subscribers have access to the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes. But it can be hard to keep track of the changes in each update and know when they’re available. We’re doing this for you, so you don’t have to. Following are summaries of the updates to Microsoft 365/Office 365 for Windows over the past year, with the latest releases shown first. We’ll add info about new updates as they’re rolled out.

Microsoft continually works on improving Windows 11 by fixing bugs, releasing security patches, and occasionally adding new features. In this story we summarize what you need to know about each update released to the public for the most recent version of Windows 11 — currently version 24H2. For each build, we’ve included the date of its release and a link to Microsoft’s announcement about it. The most recent updates appear first. The easiest way to install updates is via Windows Update. Not sure how? See “How [...]
The launch of a major Windows 10 update isn’t the end of a process — it’s really just the beginning.

With Microsoft preparing to lay off more than 9,000 employees, Xbox producer Matt Turnbull urged those affected to use AI tools to help them cope, according to Aftermath. Turnbull wrote in a post on LinkedIn that while many people have strong feelings about generative AI (genAI) tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Copilot, they can also be helpful for resume writing, career planning, and job searching. “These are really challenging times, and if you’re going through a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go through it alone,” Turnbull wrote. “No AI tool [...]
Microsoft is cutting prices by 60% on generative AI (genAI) technologies in Azure designed to provide better understanding and insights for videos, text, speech, and images. The Azure AI Content Understanding analyzes information from multimedia documents, extracts insights, and validates the information. Organizations can then use these insights to build AI agents. “Whether you’re extracting layout from documents or identifying actions in a video, the new pricing structure delivers up to 60% cost savings for many typical tasks and more control over your spending,” Microsoft said in a blog post Monday. The feature transforms unstructured information across all types of documents [...]
It rains. It pours. Apple has lost its top AI models exec to Meta on the same day the Trump Administration slaps a 36% tax on Macs made in Thailand and US trade advisor Peter Navarro lashes out at Apple CEO Tim Cook. Apple has been struggling to figure out how to transition its supply chain to other nations for years. We all know how complex that task is, and there are literally dozens of reasons it makes sense to keep some manufacturing outside the US, focusing energy domestically on advanced next-generation process development to keep America at the forefront of tech industry achievement. Tim Cook [...]
Cat owners know that house pets not only promote productivity, but can sometimes also be a huge hindrance and cause errors – for example, by distracting the owner from their work or by changing peripheral devices without respect. A recent study now shows that cats can also confuse reasoning models in a figurative sense, i.e. generative AI models that are trained to solve problems step by step. According to the research report “Cats Confuse Reasoning LLM”, it is possible to systematically mislead models into giving incorrect answers by attaching short, irrelevant texts to mathematical problems. For example, if the sentence [...]
OpenAI is an artificial intelligence organization comprised of the non-profit OpenAI, Inc. and several for-profit subsidiaries. The company is perhaps best known for its ChatGPT chatbot, which launched in 2022, kicking off a period of massive disruption in the tech industry and beyond. A complicated and increasingly contentious relationship with Microsoft, ongoing legal issues over copyright infringement, and frequent product announcements keep OpenAI in the news. Latest Open AI news and analysis: Microsoft brings OpenAI-powered Deep Research to Azure AI Foundry agents July 8, 2025: Microsoft added OpenAI-developed Deep Research capability to its Azure AI Foundry Agent service.
