This article explores the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol designed to standardize AI interaction with tools and data, addressing the fragmentation in AI agent ecosystems. It details current use cases, future possibilities, and challenges in adopting MCP.
Companies are increasingly moving away from cloud computing to on-premises servers to lower costs and regain control over their operations.
GitLab 17.9 introduces support for self-hosted AI platforms, allowing organizations to deploy large language models within their infrastructure. This enhances data security, compliance, and performance for industries with strict regulatory requirements.
AGNTCY is an open-source collective building infrastructure for AI agents to collaborate, led by Cisco, LangChain, Galileo, and other contributors. The initiative aims to create an open, interoperable foundation for agentic AI systems to work together seamlessly across different frameworks and vendors.
AGNTCY plans to develop key components such as an agent directory, an open agent schema framework, and an agent connect protocol to facilitate this interoperability.
Researchers discovered that renewable energy facilities across Central Europe use unencrypted radio signals to control power generation, posing a potential threat to the grid. If intercepted and manipulated, these signals could disrupt grid stability by causing power imbalances, possibly leading to a continent-wide blackout. This raises significant concerns about the security measures currently in place and the need for more secure alternatives like iMSys, which uses encrypted LTE for communication.
This blog post provides a high-level overview of PPeC (PhonePe Cloud) Agent’s architecture, its interaction with the PPeC API and PPeC Proxy, and how it optimizes tasks such as VM creation, resource allocation, and dynamic disk management.
HashiConf 2024 revealed updates including Terraform 2.0 and HCP Waypoint, amidst the backdrop of the IBM acquisition.
The US Commerce Department has proposed new rules requiring developers of large AI models and those providing the infrastructure to train them to report details about their operations. This is in response to concerns about the potential risks posed by advanced AI, including its potential use in cybercrime and the development of weapons.
