AI leaders walk back predictions of a white collar jobs apocalypse The CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic have significantly softened their previous warnings regarding artificial intelligence causing mass unemployment in white-collar sectors. Sam Altman recently admitted he was wrong about the immediate elimination of entry-level roles, noting that the human element of employment remains largely irreplaceable. This shift in rhetoric comes as both companies reportedly prepare for initial public offerings with valuations potentially reaching $1 trillion.

Microsoft introduces Aion models and expanded APIs for local AI on Windows Microsoft is expanding local AI capabilities on Windows by introducing the Aion 1.0 model family and new on-device APIs. This initiative aims to shift routine AI tasks from the cloud to local hardware to reduce latency, lower costs, and enhance data privacy. By utilizing a hybrid approach, advanced reasoning remains in the cloud while everyday operations like summarization and text rewriting are handled by the local system.

Canonical’s Steam Snap for ARM64 is now stable – milage may Gaming on Ubuntu on modern ARM-based devices just got a boost, as Canonical has announced that its Steam Snap for Arm64 devices is now ‘stable’. The effort has been in beta since it was announced in January. Since then, Canonical says it has “received great feedback” from users kicking the tyres on those early builds, across a varied range of Arm64 platforms and devices. Issues raised in the testing phase have been ironed out, with Ubuntu’s maker touting “solid performance across many popular games” on devices like the NVIDIA DGX Spark and Radxa Orion O6, as well as Snapdragon laptops […] You're reading Canonical’s Steam Snap for ARM64 is now stable – milage may, a blog post from OMG!

Windows 365 for Agents: Cloud PCs for AI automation Windows 365 for Agents is a public preview service that gives AI agents Cloud PCs for running tasks in Windows environments. A Cloud PC is a virtual Windows desktop hosted in the Microsoft Cloud. The service is mainly relevant when an agent must work with desktop apps, browsers, files, or enterprise systems that don't expose a reliable application programming interface (API), which is a documented way for software to exchange data or trigger actions. For Windows administrators, the main areas to understand are provisioning policies, Microsoft Entra identities, Intune management, billing, and preview limitations.

📰 Benchmarking The Different CachyOS Linux Kernel Flavors CachyOS ships with a good Linux kernel configuration by default balancing the different features as well as performance. But they also ship a variety of other kernel builds for those preferring a more leading-edge kernel or the current LTS series, a hardened kernel configuration, and more. In this article are some fresh benchmarks of the Arch Linux based CachyOS Linux distribution with some of its main kernel flavors. 🔗 Source: #arch #kernel #linux 👉@sysadminoff https://www.phoronix.com/review/cachyos-linux-flavors

Cisco leverages AI and eBPF to automate vulnerability shielding and VM migration Cisco is integrating artificial intelligence and eBPF technology into its infrastructure to fundamentally change how networks are managed and secured. The network is now viewed as a high-performance backplane that connects distributed AI components like GPUs and storage across physical hardware. To support this, new security capabilities allow for real-time vulnerability protection without requiring system reboots or binary modifications.

Первый выпуск редактора Vim Classic, продолжающего развитие ветки Vim 8.2 Дрю ДеВолт (Drew DeVault), автор пользовательского окружения Sway, почтового клиента Aerc, языка программирования Hare и платформы совместной разработки SourceHut, опубликовал первый выпуск Vim Classic, форка текстового редактора Vim 8.2, продолжающего сопровождение прошлой ветки. В качестве причин создания форка указано непринятие политики Vim в отношении использования AI. По задумке Дрю ДеВолта, Vim Classic 8.3 можно рассматривать как то, как мог бы выглядеть выпуск Vim 8.3, если бы разработчики Vim не создали ветку Vim 9 с новым скриптовым языком Vim9 Script, имеющим синтаксис, близкий к JavaScript, TypeScript и Java. От Vim 8.2 выпуск Vim Classic 8.3 отличается исправлением ошибок и портированием некоторых возможностей из новых веток Vim. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=65608

📰 Linux is quietly becoming the better choice for Windows users who just browse the web There's always been a subset of people for whom Linux PCs are better than those running Windows, but recently, that group has been growing.

Microsoft Teams introduces agentic AI capabilities and enhanced admin security controls Microsoft is transforming Teams into a hub for agentic AI by integrating partner agents from Linear, Cursor, and Atlassian Rovo directly into chat channels. These agents can perform complex tasks such as turning conversations into code or project plans, supported by new developer tools like the Teams CLI for rapid deployment. To improve user interaction, agents now support slash commands, quoted replies for better context, and emoji reactions to reduce message clutter.

Intel Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest enables high-density server consolidation Intel has launched the Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest processors, featuring up to 288 E-cores to address increasing data center power and space constraints. These chips utilize the Intel 18A manufacturing process to double the core count and provide a five-fold increase in last-level cache compared to previous generations. The platform is specifically designed to help organizations consolidate legacy server estates into high-density environments, particularly for 5G core and cloud-native workloads.

JetBrains открыла Mellum2 — MoE-модель для быстрых AI-сценариев в разработке Компания JetBrains открыла модель Mellum2, предназначенную для использования в AI-инструментах для разработки ПО. Модель опубликована под лицензией Apache 2.0, веса доступны на Hugging Face. В JetBrains подчёркивают, что Mellum2 обучалась с нуля и рассчитана не на мультимодальные задачи, а на работу с текстом и кодом: маршрутизацию запросов, RAG-конвейеры, суммаризацию, вспомогательных агентов и приватное развёртывание в инфраструктуре компаний. Mellum2 построена по архитектуре Mixture-of-Experts. При общем размере в 12 млрд параметров на каждый токен активируется только около 2.5 млрд параметров, что должно снижать вычислительные затраты и задержки при инференсе. По утверждению JetBrains, по производительности на бенчмарках модель сопоставима с открытыми моделями близкого размера, но обеспечивает более чем двукратное ускорение инференса.

GitHub Copilot shifts to token-based billing sparking developer backlash GitHub has transitioned its Copilot coding assistant to a usage-based billing model that charges users based on token consumption rather than a flat monthly fee. This change, which became effective June 1st, replaces the previous unlimited request system with a credit-allotment structure. Developers are reporting significant price hikes, with some monthly costs reportedly jumping from small flat fees to several hundred or even thousands of dollars.

Проблемы с соблюдением авторского права при переписывании ScanCode на Rust при помощи AI Сопровождающий открытый инструментарий ScanCode Toolkit, предназначенный для сканирования кода на предмет пересечений с чужими авторскими правами, выявления используемых лицензий и обнаружения неисправленных уязвимостей, раскритиковал проект, создавший при помощи AI клон продукта ScanCode, переписанный с Python на Rust (название клона не упоминается, но, судя по всем признакам, речь про проект Provenant). Утверждается, что в переписанном проекте нарушена торговая марка ScanCode и удалены упоминания об авторских правах и лицензиях. Претензии объясняются тем, что в переписанном клоне продолжено использование ключевых алгоритмов ScanCode, сохранена архитектура проекта и структура кода. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=65602
