The enormous increase in energy consumption driven by AI has brought a step change in datacentre design. Core to this is the requirement to power and cool GPUs to an extent that was not necessary in "traditional" air-cooled datacentres. Hence the advent of the AI factory.

Exchange OS launched on OKX’s Xlayer on May 26, enabling anyone to deploy spot and perp markets. Glassnode joined as Exchange OS's data provider, supplying onchain and derivatives data to Xlayer. The permissionless protocol enters a space led by Hyperliquid, which recorded $170.29B in monthly volume recently.

Docker Sandboxes use what is called a “microVM” to isolate containers. A microVM is a virtual machine that runs on the native hypervisor of the host operating system for isolation. The “micro” comes from the design of the VM, which is specifically for running workloads that need to start up quickly, tear down quickly, and not gobble too many system resources.

“We built these tools because we believe that AI safety has to become a continuous engineering discipline rather than a periodic checkpoint, and we think the best way to make that happen is to put practical, open tools in the hands of the people doing the building,” Microsoft's AI red team founder Ram Shankar Siva Kumar said in a security blog post.

AGREED: Retire all packages maintained by the deepinde-sig group The decision comes one year after the project called for a security review of the Deepin Desktop Environment, after openSUSE dropped the desktop following a negative security assessment.

“When I started in Azure 10 years ago, it was not the majority operating system running on the Azure cloud. It has become the majority operating system running on the Azure cloud in the past 10 years. And today, I think we're really excited to announce that we're going to be having Microsoft's open-source Linux distribution, a supported version of Linux supported by Microsoft, available on Azure, out for anybody to use.”

Our reader managed to run up Bedrock charges totaling $30,141.33 in April 2026, despite using AWS Cost Anomaly Detection (CAD) to avoid any nasty surprises. Thirty-three days before our reader's first use of Bedrock, the threshold in CAD was set to "Absolute ≥ $100 AND Relative ≥ 40%" so alerts should have fired if things got too spendy.

With [CIDR], Microsoft can now trigger a recovery action directly from the Hardware Dev Center (HDC), rolling back a problematic driver to the previously known-good version via the Windows Update pipeline. Partners are not required to take any action. Microsoft handles the recovery end-to-end.
