It's Not the GPUs: What's Really Holding AI Models Back
Everyone assumes GPU compute is the limiting factor in AI development — but the real constraint runs much deeper. Memory bandwidth, data movement, and architectural inefficiencies are quietly throttling model performance in ways raw processing power can't fix.

Nine AI Tools Can Be Weaponized Into Botnets via Prompts
Researchers have found that nine of the most widely used AI tools are vulnerable to a new class of prompt injection attack capable of assembling large-scale botnets. Unlike traditional targeted injections, these 'pull' attacks require no direct contact with victims — dramatically expanding the threat surface. Here's what you need to know.

Google DeepMind Adds Computer Use to Gemini 3.5 Flash
Google DeepMind has integrated computer use directly into Gemini 3.5 Flash, enabling developers to build agents that can see, reason, and act across browser, mobile, and desktop environments. Previously a standalone capability in Gemini 2.5, the feature now ships with enterprise safeguards to mitigate prompt injection risks.
