### Celona Launches Orion: A Unified Agentic Wireless Platform Built for Physical AI and Robotics Celona, a private wireless provider based in Campbell, California, has announced the launch of **Celona Orion**, a groundbreaking unified agentic converged wireless platform designed to merge private 5G, Wi-Fi, public cellular, and satellite connectivity into a single, deterministic network fabric. The platform is specifically engineered to support the connectivity demands of **physical AI**, including autonomous vehicles (AVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), computer vision systems, and edge software agents. Orion represents a significant shift from legacy, device-centric networks to an intelligent, multi-network architecture built for automated…

**The New Era of AI Model Management: How ModelPack and Docker are Revolutionizing Interoperability** Posted on August 12, 2026 by Andrew Block, Red Hat The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence tools has created an exciting landscape of possibilities, but it has also exposed a critical challenge: model portability. For years, AI practitioners have been locked into specific frameworks and toolchains, unable to easily move their work between different environments or share it with others. The ModelPack project, a CNCF initiative, has been developed specifically to solve this problem. As highlighted in a recent collaboration with the Docker team, the industry…

**The Rise of the Polymath: Why Versatility is the New Power Skill in the Age of AI** In a landscape rapidly reshaped by artificial intelligence, the most valuable professionals may no longer be the deepest specialists, but the most adaptable generalists. The emergence of agentic AI—intelligent systems capable of taking initiative and automating complex tasks—is fundamentally altering the dynamics of the modern workplace. While this technological shift promises increased efficiency, it also creates a new premium on a specific kind of professional: the polymath. For years, career advice has often leaned towards deep specialization. However, the age of AI is…

**AI This Week: Agents, Models, and Real-World Impact** This week in AI, the conversation shifted from demos and capabilities to deployments, risks, and governance. We saw new agentic tools enter the app charts, expert consensus on content quality and gender representation, high-stakes government use of biometric technology, and new transparency initiatives for the AI supply chain. This report summarizes the most notable movements in AI from the past week, explores their implications, and answers reader questions. — ### In the Wild *What people are installing, watching, and searching for now.

**Fortifying Your Frontline: The Critical Role of Digital Access Management in Modern Security** In today’s complex threat landscape, traditional security measures are proving insufficient. While heavy doors, physical locks, and patrolling guards remain components of a security strategy, sophisticated intruders have adapted, rendering these methods less effective. The result is staggering loss: US retail stores hemorrhage billions annually from shrinkage, with 81% of staff reporting increased violence and aggression from shoplifters. The construction industry fares no better, with 70% of workers witnessing at least one annual theft, yet only a quarter of stolen materials and equipment are ever recovered. Logistics…

**How AI Is Re-Pricing Global Energy and Why Bitcoin Miners Are Winning** If you’ve scanned headlines over the last year, you’ve likely seen the prevailing market narrative: *Bitcoin miners are abandoning their operations and pivoting to AI data centers, signaling a retreat from proof-of-work.* To casual observers, this looks like a surrender—proof that Bitcoin was just a temporary placeholder until a “better” compute workload arrived. However, if you look through the lens of power infrastructure and thermodynamics, that story gets the reality completely backwards. The migration isn’t a sign of Bitcoin weakness; it’s a long-overdue, structurally bullish rebalancing of global…

**Q2 2026 Robotics Report: Industrial Automation Leads Growth** The robotics industry continues its steady evolution, driven by practical applications in industrial automation rather than the flashier realms of humanoid robots or speculative AI. According to the latest data from the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the North American market for industrial robotics experienced modest but healthy growth in the second quarter of 2026. While headlines often focus on humanoid prototypes, the real momentum remains in the reliable, hard-working machines that power modern manufacturing. **Industrial Robot Orders Show Modest Growth** In Q2 2026, North American companies placed orders for 8,940 robots,…

**Harnessing Non-Destructive 3D Pathology to Revolutionize Diagnostic Precision** The landscape of pathological diagnostics is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the convergence of advanced imaging technologies and artificial intelligence. Traditional histopathology, while the gold standard for disease diagnosis, is inherently limited by its reliance on two-dimensional (2D) sections of tissue. This approach requires pathologists to mentally reconstruct complex 3D structures from thin slices, a process that is time-consuming, subject to inter-observer variability, and can lead to diagnostic inaccuracies. The emergence of non-destructive 3D pathology offers a paradigm shift, enabling the comprehensive analysis of intact specimens in three dimensions, thereby providing…

**Oracle and Quantinuum Partner to Bring Quantum Computing to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure** Oracle and Quantinuum have announced a multi-year partnership to make Quantinuum’s Helios quantum computer available through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This collaboration will give OCI customers access to quantum hardware alongside existing GPU and high-performance computing (HPC) services, marking a significant step in bringing quantum computing into mainstream cloud environments. Under the terms of the agreement, Helios will be installed at an Oracle AI data centre in the United States and operate within OCI infrastructure. Customers are expected to access the system through Oracle’s quantum service, eliminating the…

**Securing the Summit: Inside the Black Hat NOC’s AI-Driven Defense Operations** In the heart of Las Vegas, behind a guarded door on the second floor of Mandalay Bay, lies the command center for one of the world’s most high-stakes cybersecurity events: the Black Hat network operations center (NOC). A wall of windows offers a glimpse into a high-tech war room where analysts, threat hunters, engineers, and researchers work around the clock to protect a network that more than 23,000 attendees connect to each year. While *The Creator* flickers on screen, the team diligently monitors alerts, using a blend of cutting-edge…
