We’re excited to introduce Amazon Bedrock Advanced Prompt Optimization, a powerful new feature designed to refine your prompts for any model available on Amazon Bedrock. This tool allows you to directly compare your original prompts against optimized versions across as many as five different models at once. Whether you’re looking to switch to a new model or enhance the performance of your existing one, this optimization helps you verify that your prompts maintain quality on established tasks while boosting results on those that need improvement. The optimization process requires your prompt template, sample user inputs for variables, correct reference answers,…

Kerry Wan and Prakhar Khanna/ZDNETFollow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.Motorola’s inaugural book-style foldable has officially arrived. Having previewed it at CES and MWC earlier this year, I was eager to find out its pricing and how it stacks up against two well-known models from Samsung and Google. After testing all three foldables, here are my impressions.Also: Motorola Razr Fold reviewEach device brings something distinctive to the table, but that doesn’t mean they all deliver the same value. Some users may lean toward a slim, featherweight build, while others might prioritize a sturdier construction. Here’s how the…

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETFollow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google.There’s a well-known joke among tech enthusiasts: we tend to hoard way too much electronic clutter. We stash away boxes full of outdated cables and adapters that really should have been thrown out ages ago, clinging to them like safety nets because “they might come in handy… someday.” True, it’s been ages since anyone needed a VGA-to-HDMI adapter, but—just humor me—what if my Auntie Jackie’s neighbor’s cat sitter suddenly needs to borrow one?On a more serious note, I’m currently embracing a minimalist lifestyle. While I’m far from reaching a state…

Poetiq has released impressive new findings demonstrating that its Meta-System achieved a state-of-the-art result on LiveCodeBench Pro (LCB Pro), a competitive programming benchmark, by automatically constructing and refining its own inference harness — all without fine-tuning any underlying model or accessing model internals. The outcome: GPT 5.5 High paired with Poetiq’s harness scores 93.9% on LCB Pro (25Q2), rising from its baseline of 89.6%. Gemini 3.1 Pro, the model the harness was specifically optimized for, climbs from 78.6% to 90.9% — exceeding Google’s own Gemini 3 Deep Think (88.8%), a model that isn’t even available via API for external verification.…

Located in the heart of the country’s capital, El Salvador’s BINAES library stands tall as a monument to the love of knowledge, literature, and technology—accessible to the public 24 hours a day, for free. Positioned directly in front of and carefully aligned with the Catedral Metropolitana de San Salvador, BINAES is also surrounded by the Palacio Nacional de El Salvador (to its left/side) and the Jardín Centroamérica, all symbols and reminders of a dream. The dream of a society that elevates beauty, the love of knowledge and faith, and shares them with the world. Having traveled to many countries and…

Every data center cybersecurity team confronts the same challenging dilemma: host-based agents use up CPU cycles that high-performance computing desperately needs. For years, the industry has attempted to find a middle ground. The more security measures you add, the more performance takes a hit; yet, the more you prioritize performance, the more vulnerable blind spots become. Consider a clear example of such a blind spot: the space between a virtual machine (VM) and its underlying physical host. In March 2025, Broadcom addressed several VMware ESXi zero-day flaws that could break out of the VM sandbox completely. In 2023, the ESXiArgs…

Rising fears over AI-powered cyberattacks are sparking fresh discussions about how fast organizations should fix software flaws—and whether federal agencies should be required to patch vulnerabilities within days instead of weeks. Cybersecurity specialists argue that quicker patching will often be essential, especially given recent advances in artificial intelligence. However, many caution that simply tightening deadlines won’t automatically speed things up—and might even backfire in some situations. Following the preview of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, Trump administration officials have reportedly explored reducing the standard timeframe for federal agencies to address Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) listed on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security…

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News.Zackat Labs has introduced a connected worker-safety platform centered on its W3 wearable, a Bluetooth-connected gas detector, AT&T cellular IoT connectivity, and device management via AT&T Control Center.Industrial safety monitoring is evolving beyond stationary sensors and routine inspections, since many hazards in field operations are both mobile and personal. Heat stress, fatigue, and gas exposure don’t always happen where a facility has installed equipment, and supervisors typically need actionable alerts instead of yet another flow of raw sensor readings.This is the backdrop for Zackat Labs’ new connected safety platform, which brings together…

British tech firm Humanoid is set to introduce humanoid robots at manufacturing facilities run by German industrial supplier Schaeffler, as reported by Reuters.According to a Humanoid spokesperson, the deal between the two companies involves deploying roughly 1,000 to 2,000 robots across Schaeffler’s worldwide production sites by 2032. Financial terms of the contract have not been made public. The initial rollout is planned for between December 2026 and June 2027 at two Schaeffler locations in Germany. Humanoid’s CEO, Artem Sokolov, told Reuters that the first phase will focus on box handling operations in Herzogenaurach and near-complete factory trials in Schweinfurt.Schaeffler gears…

Deliberately tolerate packet loss. Distribute every data transfer across hundreds of random routes. If someone presented you with this set of design choices for a network linking 131,000 GPUs, you’d think it was drafted by someone with zero experience running a production network. A group formed by OpenAI, AMD, Broadcom, Intel, Microsoft, and NVIDIA constructed precisely this — and quietly overturned thirty years of established thinking about how high-performance data center networks should be built. The protocol is named MRC, which stands for Multipath Reliable Connection. It was published on May 5, 2026 via the Open Compute Project. The supporting…
