Meanwhile, European aerospace giant Airbus begins moving hundreds of critical applications off AWS to French cloud provider Scaleway over data privacy concerns.
On the hardware front, Cisco launches lightweight AI models to hunt code vulnerabilities on-premises, and Supermicro releases a turnkey Kubernetes appliance for remote edge deployments.
Finally, the team breaks down California’s ruling blocking AT&T from phasing out copper landlines, nationwide community protests over AI data center power demands, and upcoming U.S.-China AI safety talks.
