Huawei promises up to 90:1 compression technology by using a proprietary dynamic algorithmic technique and a lot of SSDs
THE SO WHAT
If Huawei’s card can reliably hit even a fraction of 90:1, storage and bandwidth become much cheaper levers than more GPUs for data-heavy AI workloads. Infra teams should treat this as an early signal to revisit where they’re compute-bound vs IO-bound in their training and analytics stacks.

Deep & Emerging TechWe found 3 Prime Day 3D printer deals that let you go full mad scientist at home
Cheap Bambu Lab and budget printers on Prime Day mean more teams will have hobbyist-grade additive gear at home and in side labs. For operators, that widens the pool of people who expect to prototype hardware fast and locally, not wait on centralized facilities.
Deep & Emerging TechSpaceX’s new bonds are flashing a warning sign, as investors pump the brakes on AI frenzy
SpaceX’s $25B bond deal landing just as investors “pump the brakes” on AI shows credit markets are getting choosier about which hard-tech and AI-adjacent stories they fund. If you’re raising for infra-heavy plays, assume debt and late-stage equity will demand clearer cash-flow paths than they did 12 months ago.

A satellite-backed Bluetooth network extends low-power connectivity far beyond Wi-Fi and cellular footprints — that reshapes what’s viable for asset tracking and remote sensing. If you run hardware or logistics, revisit assumptions about where you “can’t” instrument devices or inventory.

A six-week shutdown at JLR with a £2.5B economic impact underscores that cyber risk is now macroeconomic infrastructure risk, not just IT downtime. Manufacturers and OEMs need board-level attention on OT security, incident response drills, and supplier network hardening, because the blast radius extends far beyond one balance sheet.
