There used to be countless companies making flagship Android phones, but a combination of factors has narrowed the field over time. Today, Samsung is the undisputed king of the Android device ecosystem with its Galaxy S line. So we can safely assume today’s Unpacked has revealed the most popular Android phones for the next year—the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26. Samsung didn’t swing for the fences this time around, producing phones with a few cosmetic […]

Organizations and individuals running multiple custom AI models, especially recent Mixture of Experts (MoE) model families, can face the challenge of paying for idle GPU capacity when the individual models don’t receive enough traffic to saturate a dedicated compute endpoint. To solve this problem, we have partnered with the vLLM community and developed an efficient solution for Multi-Low-Rank Adaptation (Multi-LoRA) serving of popular open-source MoE models like GPT-OSS or Qwen. Multi-LoRA is a popular approach to fine-tune models. […]

A federal court will conduct a search of devices seized from a Washington Post reporter after a magistrate judge decided yesterday that the Department of Justice cannot be trusted to perform the search on its own. US Magistrate Judge William Porter criticized government prosecutors for not including key information in a search warrant application. The court wasn’t aware of a 1980 law that limits searches and seizures of journalists’ work materials when it approved the warrant, Porter acknowledged. […]

Large conferences and events generate overwhelming amounts of information—from hundreds of sessions and workshops to speaker profiles, venue maps, and constantly updating schedules. While basic AI assistants can answer simple questions about event logistics, most fail to deliver the personalized guidance and contextual awareness that attendees need to navigate complex, multi-day conferences effectively. More importantly, moving these prototypes from demo to production—with enterprise security, scalability for thousands of concurrent users, and reliable performance—typically requires months of infrastructure development.

Have you ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn’t work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like decor and personal accessories, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) models can relate. They can produce creative and elaborate 3D designs, but when you try to fabricate such blueprints into real-world objects, they usually don’t sustain everyday use. The underlying problem is that genAI models often lack an understanding of physics. While tools like Microsoft’s TRELLIS system […]

While lifesaving vaccines face a relentless onslaught from the Trump administration—with fervent anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading the charge—scientific literature is building a wondrous story: A vaccine appears to prevent dementia, including Alzheimer’s, and may even slow biological aging. For years, study after study has noted that older adults vaccinated against shingles seemed to have a lower risk of dementia. A study last month suggested the same vaccine appears to slow biological aging, including lowering markers […]
