Tenstorrent has introduced TT‑QuietBox 2 (Blackhole), a liquid‑cooled AI workstation designed to run models up to 120 billion parameters entirely on the desktop. The system combines a fully open‑source software stack with RISC‑V–based silicon and is positioned as a teraflop‑class inference platform that does not require racks, a server room, or specialized power. Inference as

CTERA has introduced Fusion Direct, a federated data architecture designed to collapse the long-standing gap between enterprise file systems and object storage. The new offering extends the CTERA Fusion family, which already includes CTERA Fusion Gateway, and is positioned as a core component of the CTERA Intelligent Data Platform. The goal is to present a

QNAP has launched the TS-h1077AFU, a compact 10-bay all-flash NAS. It is built to provide enterprise-level performance in a smaller, more flexible form factor for organizations managing demanding workloads such as virtualization, high-resolution media production, database operations, and multi-site backup consolidation. The system runs on QNAP’s ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system and is powered by

MinIO has launched AIStor Table Sharing, a new feature in MinIO AIStor that enables businesses to make on-premises data directly accessible to the Databricks platform via the Delta Sharing open protocol. This feature enables Databricks to access current on-premises datasets immediately for analytics and AI tasks, without the need for traditional data movement or replication.

Autonomous networks, once seen as a distant goal for telecom, are now a pressing priority. According to NVIDIA’s latest State of AI in Telecommunications report, network automation is the top AI use case for investment and actual returns, showing where operators find immediate value from AI. Although many telcos already automate set workflows, achieving true

At Mobile World Congress 2026, AMD announced an expanded Ryzen AI portfolio with new desktop parts and broader mobile coverage, positioning the Ryzen AI 400 Series as a single platform spanning high-performance desktops, laptops, and mobile workstations. The company introduced the AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series and Ryzen AI PRO 400 Series desktop processors, along

At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, AMD highlighted how its portfolio is helping telecom operators move from AI pilots to production deployments as they transition from traditional RAN to open, virtualized architectures. The company is positioning a combination of open software stacks, GPUs, CPUs, networking, and adaptive computing to support distributed, telco-grade AI across core, edge,

AMD and Nutanix have formed a multi-year partnership to create an open, full-stack AI infrastructure platform. This collaboration aims to support agentic AI applications in data centers, hybrid cloud, and edge environments. The agreement seeks to deliver a production-ready, high-performance alternative to integrated AI stacks by using open standards and compatible software frameworks. The partnership

Mobile operators moving toward open and virtualized RAN architectures are finding that the main challenges are economic, resource use in tight environments, automation, and long-term growth rather than technology readiness. vRAN offers clear benefits in flexibility and supplier options, but as deployments transition from pilot projects to commercial scale, operators need to address rising energy
