PayPal is cutting nearly one-fifth of its workforce as it restructures the company around lower costs, simpler operations, and artificial intelligence. The company plans to remove unnecessary layers, automate more work, and redirect part of the resulting savings toward growth. PayPal Begins a Major Workforce Reduction The company announced the restructuring earlier in the year as CEO Enrique Lores moved to simplify operations and improve execution. Therefore, the planned reduction will affect roughly 4,760 positions if applied across the company’s 23,800-person workforce. However, the company did not remove all those positions at once because management expects the program to span…

Kitesurf, Cloudflare’s new browser for AI agents, uses up to seven times less memory than Chromium. Chromium powers Google Chrome, so it carries many human-focused features, and every extra feature costs memory. Agents need browsers for many tasks, so the costs multiply across every session. Because memory limits how many agents a server can host, Cloudflare launched Kitesurf to combat that. Kitesurf strips away everything machines never use, and Cloudflare offered it free during the beta testing. Kitesurf Gives AI Agents a Lighter Browser Cloudflare’s engineers explain the trade-off plainly, “Agents care about token counts, costs, and scale, not smooth…

Inspur found a way to keep buying advanced AI chips after the United States banned it. The full picture came to light in September. For years, many people assumed the ban had worked. However, Inspur simply built a new path around it. The company set up fresh business units, renamed old ones, and used quiet partners in other countries. Each step made the flow of chips harder to trace. As a result, billions of dollars in restricted technology reached China anyway. Aivres and the Billion-Dollar Shipments Years ago, the United States placed Inspur on a trade blacklist. The blacklist was…

Lattice has completed its $1.65 billion acquisition of AMI, combining programmable-chip technology with firmware for managing computing platforms. This deal expands Lattice’s capabilities as AI data centers add more servers, processors, networking equipment, and storage systems. Lattice develops low-power field-programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs, while AMI develops firmware that controls and monitors computing hardware. Together, the businesses can address security and management tasks across both programmable hardware and system firmware.

Nvidia faces a U.S. Department of Justice antitrust investigation into complaints about its dominance in artificial intelligence chips. The DOJ contacted Nvidia competitors and AI chip startups while gathering information about alleged sales practices and acquisitions. Currently, investigators are examining whether the company pressured customers to buy multiple products or favored customers that purchased its equipment. The inquiry does not establish wrongdoing. Instead, officials must determine whether Nvidia’s conduct unlawfully restricts competition. DOJ Targets Nvidia’s AI Chip Business At the moment, the DOJ is examining whether the company pressured cloud providers to buy products alongside its AI chips. Rival representatives…

Microsoft cut the cost of AI vulnerability discovery in half. The company built Project Perception, an AI security system to drive down expenses. Microsoft launched the system earlier in the year. However, the move signals a broader shift across the cybersecurity industry. Rivals like GitHub have already followed with similar price cuts. Together, these changes reveal how AI reshapes vulnerability research economics. Microsoft Halves the Cost of Finding Vulnerabilities Microsoft built Project Perception, an AI security system to cut its research costs. Perception runs on MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, a specialized in-house model built just for this work. Now, the model handles 90%…
