AI economics reshape FinOps as enterprises seek greater visibility and control
As AI spending accelerates across enterprises, FinOps is shifting toward greater AI spend visibility and embedding financial accountability into everyday technology decisions. In a theCUBE interview at FinOps X 2026, Virtasant's Rajeev Laungani and Chevron's Colby Rozell described how the constant arrival of new models and services makes choosing and using them efficiently the first problem to solve. They argued that AI can remove friction from cost optimization, including modifying code, while keeping humans in the loop for higher-stakes decisions. Optimization at the code level is where the real cost granularity lies.
Three insights you may have missed from theCUBE's coverage of Snowflake Summit 2026
This article rounds up three insights from theCUBE's coverage of Snowflake Summit 2026, arguing that the next wave of enterprise AI is about the software and data infrastructure needed to make AI models useful in real businesses. Analysts Bob O'Donnell and Sanjeev Mohan, interviewed by theCUBE's Dave Vellante, frame Snowflake as a connector between proprietary data and frontier models. Customer examples from DoorDash, Fanatics and Whoop show how strong data foundations support analytics, personalization and large-scale AI workloads.
HPE's Unleash AI takes aim at the 'AI pilot trap'
For all the excitement artificial intelligence has generated, success is still eluding many companies. A recent PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP study found that just 20% of enterprises are achieving at least three-quarters of the revenue and efficiency gains AI promises. Gartner estimates that at least half of generative AI projects were abandoned last year, and other estimates [...] The post HPE's Unleash AI takes aim at the 'AI pilot trap' appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Akash Systems' diamonds remove heat incredibly fast, according to Pamit Surana (pictured), co-founder and CCO [...] The post Akash Systems brings diamond cooling to AI infrastructure appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Timing Trick Cuts Energy Used in LLM Training by Up to 14 Percent
Researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands cut the energy used to train a large language model by up to 14 percent without slowing it down, by finely tuning how fast a GPU's clocks tick during computation. The method, presented at the Computing Frontiers conference in Sicily, adjusts the chip's speed at the level of tiny tasks called kernels rather than across whole training steps. In tests training a 1.3 billion parameter model, the approach saved roughly 14.6 percent of energy with only a 0.6 percent increase in training time. For an industry where a single frontier model trains on tens of gigawatt-hours, that share of savings is large.
Report: GKE Inference Gateway delivers up to 92% faster AI responses
Google Cloud reports that its GKE Inference Gateway cut the time an AI model takes to start responding by 92.8% compared with Amazon's Kubernetes service in an independent benchmark. The gateway routes AI requests to the exact server already holding the relevant data in memory, using a method called prefix caching. The same test showed 15.7% higher throughput and 62.6% lower delay between words as they stream out. Snap reported reusing cached data on 75 to 80% of requests in its own production setup.
Open-Source Software Is Starting to Help Robots Think
When a group of academics started making open-source robotics hardware, a generation of roboticists got years of their lives back. Now, the bigger challenge is getting robots to think-and that's starting to be open sourced too. The shift is still early, but companies including Hugging Face, Nvidia, and Alibaba have all made significant bets on open-source robotics in the last two years, releasing tools and models aimed at the higher-level work of getting robots to reason, decide, and act. The open source movement that accelerated other AI applications is now being applied to the problem of mak
How Melbourne's AI and Data Center Flywheel Is Accelerating Research Innovation
This sponsored article is brought to you by Melbourne Convention Bureau (MCB) supported by Business Events Australia. Melbourne's reputation as a global events city, from the Australian Open tennis and Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix to hosting NFL regular season games, now intersects with a different form of scale: large-scale compute, data-intensive research, and advanced engineering. Long recognized for delivering complex international events, the city is applying the same organisational capability to the infrastructure that underpins modern AI research, positioning Melbourne at the converg
Accelerating Chipmaking Innovation for the Energy-Efficient AI Era
This sponsored article is brought to you by Applied Materials. At pivotal moments in history, progress has required more than individual brilliance. The most consequential breakthroughs - such as those achieved under the Human Genome Project - required a new operating paradigm: Concentrate the world's best talent around a single mission, establish a common platform, share critical infrastructure, and collapse feedback loops. When stakes are high and timelines are compressed, sequential and siloed innovation simply cannot keep pace. Today's AI era is creating an engineering race with similar de
Boomi makes its AI control plane case: theCUBE's Boomi World keynote analysis
The AI arms race has a new front, and it isn't the battle over individual models - it's war for the entire AI control plane. That theme was front and center at Boomi World in Chicago, where Boomi LP Chief Executive Officer Steve Lucas spent two hours on stage steering the conversation away from model hype [...] The post Boomi makes its AI control plane case: theCUBE's Boomi World keynote analysis appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
AI ambition is crashing into a decade of deferred IT maintenance, says Red Hat CEO

Neutralizing the Gigascale Problem: How to Solve the Physical Power Paradox of Extreme AI Training Loads
This sponsored article is brought to you by Ampace. As AI workloads grow to gigascale levels, the global data center industry has hit a hidden physical wall. The real bottleneck is no longer just the thermal limit of the chip or the capacity of the cooling system - it is the dynamic resilience of the power chain. Modern AI computing clusters, driven by massive GPU clusters, generate high-frequency, abrupt, and synchronized spikey pulse loads. As rack densities soar beyond 100 kW, these fluctuations are amplified into a "power paradox": while the digital logic of AI is moving faster than ever,
Your Next AI Query May Travel Where the Power Is
The rise of electricity-guzzling data centers has forced the artificial intelligence industry to get creative about finding power. One of the latest ideas: Build micro data centers next to utility substations and operate them in concert, shifting the computation around based on power availability. That's the approach Nvidia and its collaborators are taking in a new pilot project they plan to build later this year. They'll construct about 25 of these small data centers, each ranging from 5 to 20 megawatts, across five utilities in the United States. If one substation is overloaded with power de
