Applied AIPartnering with Edelbyte: Data Infrastructure That Keeps Up With AI's Curiosity
If agents are going to hammer your internal systems with orders of magnitude more queries than humans ever did, the real constraint becomes data infra cost and latency, not model quality. Teams building agents should be budgeting for a new class of OLAP-style infra like Edelbyte’s, not assuming the existing warehouse can take the load.
Applied AIAI infrastructure provider Fireworks says hackers accessed some customers' datasets, incomplete model weights, and billing information over the past month
Model infra vendors are now part of your crown-jewel attack surface—Fireworks losing datasets, partial weights, and billing data makes that explicit. If you’re on a managed AI platform, demand a security architecture review and assume model artifacts are exfiltration targets, not just logs.
Applied AIGoogle Rolls Out New AI Chips to Challenge Nvidia
Google pushing new AI chips is less about beating Nvidia and more about keeping hyperscaler customers from being single-sourced on GPUs. If you’re planning large training runs, model your TCO and portability across at least two accelerator ecosystems now, not after you’re locked in.
Applied AICisco adds Anthropic’s Claude Mythos to AI Defense for red teaming
Cisco wiring Claude Mythos into AI Defense means automated adversarial testing is becoming a first-class control for enterprise AI. If you’re shipping AI apps or agents, budget time and money for continuous red teaming—regulators and customers will start asking for that evidence.
