‘We wanted to assure investors of our trajectory’: AEM offers rare EPS guidance amid growing AI demand. It is particularly bullish on the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test segment

Earlier this year, leaders at Amazon Web Services delivered a new mandate to their engineers: They need to conserve CPU cycles at all costs. AWS has reportedly experienced an explosion in wait times for CPU server capacity as AI workloads strain the company’s cloud infrastructure. The issue seemingly took AWS off guard, and for good reason. The AI boom led to a surge in demand for GPUs and, later, memory . CPUs were mostly left out of the story, as their relative lack of parallelization made them a poor fit for AI model inference, the process of running and serving large language models (LLM) to users. But the rise of agentic AI systems, which allow AI models to operate autonomously and call on sub-agents, is changing the narrative. Matt Kimball , vice president and principal data center a

Huawei Cloud has announced the commercial launch of CodeArts Agent in Singapore, an AI-powered coding platform built around 16 specialised agents that span the full software development lifecycle, from requirements analysis and architecture design to coding, testing and code review. The launch was unveiled at Huawei Cloud AI Boost Day Singapore, where the company set out its “AI Builder Paradigm” for enterprise software development. [Huawei Cloud](https://www.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/) said the tool is designed for complex, large-scale software projects, combining code models, integrated development environment (IDE) capabilities and autonomous development workflows. ## 16 Agents Across the Development Lifecycle CodeArts Agent’s core differentiator is its Agent Team feature, which coordi

While videos online regularly showcase humanoid robots completing tasks like running and jumping, concerns are growing across the globe over how the improved robot workforce could soon replace human employees in factories. Across factory floors, robots are taking on welding, lifting, scanning, painting, and assembly work involved in making many everyday products. Manufacturers are accelerating robotic investments on the belief that automation can turn out essential goods more quickly, more safely, and at lower cost, from [electric vehicles](https://guide.thecooldown.com/actions/make-your-next-car-an-ev/) to wind turbine parts. ### Here's what to know According to [BBC News](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62m4zn1q6mo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss), China now has more than two million

CrowdStrike has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, Indonesia’s largest technology and telecommunications provider, to deliver AI-powered protection and managed security services across the archipelago. The collaboration brings together the AI-native [CrowdStrike Falcon](https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/platform/) platform and CrowdStrike’s security services with Telkom’s local market expertise and its extensive base of Indonesian public and private sector customers. As part of the tie-up, Telkom plans to standardise its own cyber defences on the Falcon platform. ## Joint Team to Secure AI Agents and Models Both companies intend to establish a joint team focused on co-developing solutions to secure AI agents, models and systems — an area both firms

Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson said Friday that President Trump should be removed from office if he is considering using nuclear weapons first, saying even entertaining the possibility should disqualify a president from serving. "The second any president actively considers the first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately, because that's got to be the red line, destroying all of humanity with a nuclear strike," Carlson said. Carlson made the comments during a conversation with Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who resigned earlier this year in opposition to the war with Iran. Carlson, who noted that he strongly opposed both efforts to impeach Trump during his first term, questioned why the same standard would

Chinese firms are improving training efficiency and expanding applications while narrowing the gap with advanced models LOS ANGELES-based Chinese entrepreneur Li Jianian deployed Chinese company Zhipu AI’s GLM-5.2 on a local server, using it for some of the tasks he had used AI coding tool Claude Code to do. From his experience, Zhipu AI’s performance is “already on a par with Claude” for around 70 per cent of his day-to-day work. “There’s no need to use the most expensive model for everything,” he added. Halfway around the world, in Chengdu, Sichuan, video creator Cheng Xiao (a pseudonym) is facing a different problem: His Claude account has been blocked again. Cheng switches between AI models, but still considers Claude “smarter” at complex coding. The problem is access. Anthropic, Claud

President Donald Trump has quietly begun to pin his hopes for resolving the Iran conflict on his treasury secretary rather than Pete Hegseth as the defense secretary is increasingly sidelined. That's according to inside sources quoted Saturday by [the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16082567/trump-pete-hegseth-camp-david-scott-bessent.html), which described a subtle shift within the 80-year-old president's inner circle when it comes to Situation Room briefings on the war, now in its seventh month. While Hegseth is still routinely asked for updates on the war, along with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, an unnamed insider claimed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's take is now given more attention

AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex have no sense of time, according to a new study. Both systematically overestimate how long tasks will take. Codex is off by as much as ten times the actual duration. They also rate their own work about 20 percentage points too high. For long, autonomous tasks, that creates a real problem with oversight. The article AI agents have no sense of time and are not aware of it appeared first on The Decoder .

Anthropic is effectively cutting Claude Code's weekly usage limits by 17 percent. A temporary 50 percent boost expires on September 14 and will be replaced by a permanent 25 percent increase. Anthropic promises more control and transparency over usage in return. The article Anthropic's Claude Code limit change is a raise on paper but a cut in practice appeared first on The Decoder .

Sony Music, Warner Music, and other publishers are suing Anthropic and CEO Dario Amodei personally for allegedly using tens of thousands of copyrighted musical compositions to train Claude without permission. The plaintiffs call it "one of the largest and most blatant ongoing thefts of intellectual property in history."

An analysis of Glassdoor reviews shows that positive AI comments have dropped from 81 to 43 percent since 2019.

Nearly every company that’s trying to deploy artificial intelligence runs into the same problem: it’s hard to integrate the tech into everyday operations. Industrial heavyweight Caterpillar has spent decades dealing with a version of that problem in the physical world, and now it’s using its experience to deploy AI. Caterpillar’s push into the autonomous space started with mining, where labor shortages and hazardous conditions can make automation particularly useful. Today, it sells automated haul trucks, drilling, underground loaders, dozers, remote-controlled construction equipment, and more. It also offers a software command center, fleet management, and even remote terrain intelligence as part of its autonomous toolkit. “Now we’re in this super exciting time where we can take all of th
