Three IEEE S&P 2026 papers turned GPU Rowhammer into a privilege-escalation problem. GPUBreach reached a root shell with the IOMMU on. Which cards flip, what ECC costs, what to change now.
Rapid Bucket is 5.5x the per-GiB price of standard Cloud Storage and bills for reads a same-region bucket serves free. On 50 TiB of checkpoints that is about $5,243 a month extra. Here is the arithmetic.
In 2026 an AI-driven memory shortage pushed DDR5 and server DRAM to record prices and stretched lead times. Here is what changed, why, and a sourced framework for CTOs choosing to buy hardware now, shift to cloud
In 2026, 98% of FinOps teams manage AI spend, and LLM prices span more than 140x from budget to frontier. An AI gateway with cost-aware routing and caching cuts that bill 40-70% without downgrading quality. How eCorpIT
Kimi K3's open weights are 594 GB in BF16 and need about 1.68 TB of VRAM to serve; the API lists at $3/$15 per 1M tokens. Here is the 2026 self-host vs API break-even math with real GPU rates.
AMD's Instinct MI400 series splits in two: the MI455X for frontier AI and inference, the MI430X for sovereign AI and FP64 HPC. A decision guide to the specs, the cost claims and 2026-2027 availability.
AMD's ROCm 7, plus SCALE and HIPIFY, make some CUDA workloads portable to AMD GPUs. But custom kernels, TensorRT-LLM and NCCL still bind enterprises to NVIDIA. What actually moves off CUDA in 2026.
A specs-and-cost comparison of Google Ironwood (TPU7x) and NVIDIA B200 for AI inference in 2026: memory, bandwidth, scale, software lock-in, consumption models, and a decision matrix for when to pick each.
India's data centre numbers get quoted interchangeably, but 1.9 GW of capacity, $120 billion in commitments, and a $1.7 billion market are three different things. Here is how to read them before you decide where to host
AMD and NVIDIA both ship 72-accelerator AI racks in 2026, and almost none of their headline numbers are measured the same way. A line-by-line normalisation of the two vendor-published spec sheets, and the seven
AWS made Amazon Bedrock Managed Knowledge Base generally available on 17 June 2026. It removes the vector store, the parsing pipeline and the retrieval orchestration. It also removes some control, and it is not in
Karnataka said on 15 July 2026 that a new data centre policy is coming. A 2022-2027 policy is already published, and the change that actually moved the economics this year came from the Union Budget.
Gartner expects power to constrain 40% of AI data centers by 2027, and GPU lead times run 36 to 52 weeks. This 2026 playbook covers capacity forecasting, spot vs reserved, neo-clouds and procurement governance.
Meta reportedly plans Meta Compute to rent out its spare AI GPUs, and the news moved billions on 1 July 2026. What is confirmed, why the neoclouds fell hardest, and whether renting surplus GPU capacity is worth it.
A senior-engineer comparison of RAG embedding models in 2026: NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Embed, OpenAI text-embedding-3, Cohere Embed v4 and open-weight Qwen3, with RTEB benchmarks, pricing and self-host break-even math.
Kubernetes v1.35 introduced the Workload API and native gang scheduling. Four months later v1.36 replaced the API version entirely. Here is the current shape, the migration, and the GPU maths that justifies it.
AI infrastructure spending is projected at $1.5 trillion for 2026, and Sequoia's arithmetic says the industry must earn $3 trillion to justify it. Frontier lab revenue sits in the low hundreds of billions. Here is what
AWS lifted EC2 Capacity Block rates roughly 20% on July 1, 2026, six months after a 15% rise on January 4. P6-B300 now bills at $14.04 per accelerator hour. Here is what changed, why analysts disagree on the cause
vLLM's April 2026 benchmark put FP8 KV-cache 14.9% above BF16 on one H100. Priced out, that is $4.24 down to $3.69 per million output tokens - and your AWS purchase model moves the number four times further.
Kubernetes is the default home for AI, yet GPUs often run at 5% utilization, wasting over $100,000 a year. How a managed platform fixes GPU scheduling and cost for Indian enterprises running AI.
Bloomberg reported on July 1, 2026 that Meta is building a cloud business to rent out AI compute and host Llama models. A fourth serious cloud vendor changes the math on price, negotiation, and lock-in for enterprise
NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform entered full production on June 1, 2026 and ships to eight cloud partners this fall, promising 5x inference over Blackwell and up to 10x lower cost per token. Here is what infrastructure
At WWDC 2026 Apple extended Private Cloud Compute to Google Cloud on Nvidia Blackwell GPUs. Here are five architecture decisions CTOs should take from Apple's private-AI design.
