📅 - Anthropic has expanded Project Glasswing to nearly 200 organizations, giving selected companies and public-sector bodies controlled access to Claude Mythos Preview for cybersecurity testing. The move turns a narrow AI safety effort into a broader defensive program, as software vendors, infrastructure operators and governments confront models that can find vulnerabilities faster than humans can respond at scale.
The expansion changes the shape of Project Glasswing. What began as a partnership of roughly 50 organizations is now becoming a more structured cyber coalition, with access widened to about 200 participants. Anthropic is not throwing the doors open. Participants must meet security [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Astera Labs Expands Taiwan Lab to Speed Global AI Rack Deployment - Astera Labs is expanding its Taiwan operations and Cloud-Scale Interop Lab as AI infrastructure buyers demand faster validation of rack-scale systems before deployment. The move brings Astera's connectivity engineering closer to platform vendors and Taiwan ODMs, underscoring how AI capacity now depends as much on integration speed as silicon availability and manufacturing scale for hyperscalers globally today.
The expansion is not just a regional office story. It sits inside a much larger bottleneck. AI labs, cloud providers and hyperscalers are trying to bring training and inference capacity online at a pace that traditional server qualification processes were not designed to support. [...]
📅 - Cisco Unveils Cloud Control for Agentic Infrastructure Teams - Cisco has unveiled Cloud Control at Cisco Live in Las Vegas, positioning it as a unified operating layer for networks, security, compute, observability and collaboration as enterprises prepare for AI agents to help run infrastructure. The platform gives Cisco a broader control plane story but also raises questions about governance, interoperability and trust under pressure at scale globally.
Cisco is making a familiar argument in a more urgent form: enterprise infrastructure is becoming too complex, too distributed and too fast-moving for human operators using separate dashboards, ticket queues and escalation paths. Cloud Control is Cisco's attempt to collapse that fragmentation into one [...]
📅 - France’s Quobly Raises €115M to Bring Silicon Quantum to Market - Quantum startup Quobly has raised €115 million to move its silicon-based quantum computers from laboratory validation toward commercial deployment, with a first cloud-accessible system planned for late 2026. The French company is leaning on semiconductor manufacturing partners and state-backed capital, a sign that quantum computing is increasingly being treated as industrial infrastructure, not distant research anymore for Europe now.
The Series A is large by European deeptech standards, but the more interesting part is who showed up. Bpifrance, SEALSQ and STMicroelectronics are leading the round, joined by the European Innovation Council Fund, Blast, ALIAD, Air Liquide's venture arm, and [...]
📅 - EU Sovereignty Plan Seeks Control While Keeping US Cloud - The European Commission has unveiled a Tech Sovereignty Package aimed at reducing dependence on non-EU suppliers across chips, cloud, AI, open-source software and energy infrastructure, sharpening a question enterprises already face: when should Europe use U.S. cloud technology, and when does resilience require more control closer to home instead for governments and regulated industries now buyers too.
The package combines an updated Chips Act, a Cloud and AI Development Act, an open digital ecosystem strategy, and a roadmap for digitalization and AI in energy. The political driver is obvious enough. Europe still relies heavily on non-European suppliers for digital products, services, [...]
📅 - Microsoft Sets 2029 Quantum Target With Majorana 2 - Microsoft has introduced Majorana 2, a topological quantum chip it says is 1,000 times more reliable than its previous qubits, while opening Microsoft Discovery as a commercial platform for AI-assisted research. The company now says it can reach a scalable quantum computer by 2029, a claim likely to draw attention and doubts from labs, customers, and investors.
The announcement lands in two markets at once, and neither is patient.
In quantum computing, Microsoft is trying to show that its long and technically stubborn pursuit of topological qubits is finally moving from physics claim to engineering roadmap. In enterprise software, it is trying to turn the same internal AI tooling used by [...]
📅 - Megaport Adds Storage, Raises Capital for AI Cloud Expansion - Megaport is adding storage to its automated infrastructure platform while raising A$827.3 million and lining up about A$458.9 million in AI infrastructure contracts, a combination that shifts the Australian connectivity provider deeper into compute, data movement and GPU-backed inference at a moment when customers are rethinking where AI workloads should run and who pays for capacity now.
The company, best known for software-defined cloud connectivity, is trying to make a larger claim on infrastructure budgets. Not just the link between clouds. The place where storage, network and compute are bought together, configured together and, ideally, billed with fewer surprises.
