We’re launching the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), an open standard, internet-native way for agents to pay—co-authored by Tempo and Stripe. Businesses on Stripe can accept payments over MPP in a few lines of code using our PaymentIntents API.
Google DeepMind proposes a cognitive framework to evaluate AGI and launches a Kaggle hackathon to build capability benchmarks
Bennett, an American physicist at IBM Research, and Brassard, a Canadian computer scientist at the Université de Montréal, are widely recognized as founders of quantum information science, a field at the intersection of physics and computer science that treats quantum mechanical phenomena not merely as properties of…
A dive into how we share IPs between VMs while making SSH work.
Advances made through No Language Left Behind (NLLB) have demonstrated that high-quality machine translation (MT) scale to 200 languages. Later Large...
Meet Mamba-3: the SSM built for inference. Faster than Transformers at decode, stronger than Mamba-2, and open-source from day one.
Today, we’re introducing Forge, a system for enterprises to build frontier-grade AI models grounded in their proprietary knowledge.
Earlier this year, we shared an update on our renewed focus for VR and Horizon. We are separating the two platforms so each can grow with greater focus, and the Horizon Worlds platform will become a mobile-only experience. This separation will extend across our ecosystem, including our mobile app. T...
Today we are incredibly excited to open source [Edge\.js](<https://edgejs.org/>), a JavaScript runtime specifically designed to safely run Node.js workl...
GPT-5.4 mini and nano are smaller, faster versions of GPT-5.4 optimized for coding, tool use, multimodal reasoning, and high-volume API and sub-agent workloads.
Node.js now has a virtual filesystem. Learn why VFS matters for testing, sandboxing, Single Executable Apps, and running generated code directly in me
MariaDB is a popular open source SQL database which began as a fork of MySQL . MariaDB Galera Cluster is an active-active replication system for MariaDB which allows reads and writes on every node. In 2015 this author analyzed MariaDB with Galera Cluster and found that although Galera claimed to offer Snapshot…
In this blog we explore how FFmpeg uses Vulkan Compute to seamlessly accelerate encoding and decoding of even professional-grade video on consumer GPUs — unlocking GPU compute parallelism at scale, without specialized hardware. This approach complements Vulkan Video's fixed-function codec support, extending…

NVIDIA today launched the NVIDIA Vera CPU, the world’s first processor purpose-built for the age of agentic AI and reinforcement learning — delivering results with twice the efficiency and 50% faster than traditional rack-scale CPUs.
Meta recognizes the long-term benefits of jemalloc, a high-performance memory allocator, in its software infrastructure. We are renewing focus on jemalloc, aiming to reduce maintenance needs and mo…
TL;DR: MCP tool definitions can burn 55,000+ tokens before an agent processes a single user message. We built the Apideck CLI as an AI-agent interface instead:an ~80-token agent prompt replaces tens of thousands of tokens of schema, with progressive disclosure via `--help` and structural safety baked into the binary…
