That visibility gap is exactly why SaaS Security Posture Management, or SSPM, went from a niche acronym to a board-level line item in 2026. The category got a jolt in August when Obsidian Security…
Six months ago, an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 mini PC with 128GB of unified memory cost around $1,500 to $2,200 depending on the brand. In September 2026, the same hardware routinely lists for $3,500 to $4,349. Nothing changed inside the chip. What changed is the price of DRAM, and it has turned a category…
A 2.52-billion-parameter open-source model just beat a rival roughly 60% larger than it on some of the toughest coding and agent benchmarks in the field. OpenBMB released MiniCPM5-2B on September 7, 2026, and by this week the numbers had spread through developer forums and model leaderboards: 46.4 on SWE-bench Verified against 33.6 for Alibaba’s Qwen3.5-4B,…
