A critical vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server is being actively exploited, and the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is urging organizations to patch their systems immediately. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-20963, was recently added to CISA’s Know Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. It is a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability tied to deserialization of untrusted data in on-premises SharePoint server. What The Vulnerability Does Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-20963 will allow threat actors without any privileges to achieve remote code execution on unpatched servers through a deserialization of untrusted data weakness. In a network-based attack, an unauthenticated attacker can write…
At Nvidia’s annual GTC developer conference in San Jose, California, CEO Jensen Huang made a declaration that a modern data center should be viewed as a factory that produces tokens and not just a warehouse for compute and storage. Nvidia now describes its AI infrastructure stack as an “AI factory” built to “manufacture intelligence at scale,” with token generation presented as the core output of the system. With this, Huang formally repositioned Nvidia’s identity around a new concept being an AI factory built to continuously generate AI outputs measured in tokens, as opposed to only storing and retrieving data. What…
For 35 years operating in the semiconductor industry, Arm Holdings built its business by selling chip designs, not chips. That changed on March 24, 2026, when the British semiconductor company unveiled Arm AGI CPU, its first in-house production processor, at its Arm Everywhere event in San Francisco. According to the company, the chip is designed specifically for data centers running agentic AI workloads, and it puts Arm in direct competition with Intel and AMD. The ARM AGI CPU Arm has introduced the AGI CPU, its first in-house data center processor, moving beyond its longstanding model of only licensing core designs…
Blue Origin, the space company founded by Jeff Bezos, has filed a formal application with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to seek the approval of Project Sunrise, a plan to deploy a constellation of over 51,600 satellites designed to host artificial intelligence (AI) computing workloads in orbit and deliver AI-custom computing power. Filed in March 2026, Project Sunrise represents the company’s most ambitious step yet into building commercial data center infrastructure. The goal is to move some of the most power‑hungry parts of AI infrastructure off Earth and into space, where energy and cooling can be easily harnessed and…
Apple has launched the AirPods Max 2, a significant update to its premium over-ear headphones since the original model debuted in December 2020. The new headphones carry the same physical design as before but are built around Apple’s H2 chip, the same processor found in the AirPods Pro 2 and 3. The upgrade delivers stronger Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), improved audio quality, and a set of new software features. The H2 Chip Does the Heavy Lifting for AirPods Max 2 The original AirPods Max ran on Apple’s H1 chip. A minor hardware refresh in September 2024 added USB-C and new…
Big technology companies are turning to debt markets to sell their bonds to pay for the most expensive artificial intelligence (AI) projects they have initiated in the race to achieve AI supremacy. From cloud giants to chip-developing platforms, firms that once prided themselves on cash-rich balance sheets are now raising tens of billions of dollars in debt to finance data centers and build specialized AI chips. A Wave of AI-Linked Borrowing Over the past year, companies including Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Oracle have made capital spending plans that run into the hundreds of billions of dollars, much of it directed…
Evervault has closed a $25 million Series B round to expand the infrastructure it uses to encrypt sensitive data across digital systems, especially as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve. The round was led by Ribbit Capital, with participation from Index Ventures, Sequoia Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Next Play Ventures, and Operator Partners. The raise brings the Ireland-based startup’s total funding to $46 million since it was founded in 2019. What Evervault Does Evervault’s platform encrypts sensitive data at the exact moment it enters a system, then keeps it encrypted throughout every step of processing, sharing, and storage. The data never…
Can one AI system actually take over the messy, multi-step corporate work that usually demands a number of tools and several browser windows? That is the question Perplexity is aiming to answer with Perplexity Computer, a new agentic platform built to plan and execute end‑to‑end workflows rather than just answer prompts. What Perplexity Computer Actually Does Perplexity Computer is described by the company as “a system that creates and executes entire workflows, capable of running for hours or even months.” According to the company, instead of limiting users to a chat box, it lets them set a high‑level goal, then…
Anysphere’s Cursor AI, with its over 1 million daily users, marks an important example of how quickly AI-native tools are moving from side experiment to core part of the software development cycle. For a startup that launched its AI-powered assistant in 2023, reaching that scale in just a couple of years places Cursor among the fastest-growing products in the current AI development cycle. And Cursor’s massive user base is now translating into serious money for the company. Cursor’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) passed $500 million dollars by mid‑2025 and crossed $1 billion later that year, before recently topping $2 billion…
Financing is catching up with physics in the race to build the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI), and for the first time, some of the most ambitious projects are being quietly scaled back rather than expanded. From compute-heavy research teams to mega-data centers, the story across the industry is the same. The money, the power grid, and the hardware can no longer keep up with every big idea. The Stargate Expansion That Didn’t Happen Oracle and OpenAI have cancelled plans to expand their flagship Stargate data center project in Abilene, Texas, a project that was supposed to develop roughly…
