Use of accelerators is growing in line with the growth of AI. These accelerators are specialized chips that are neither CPUs nor GPUs – they specifically offload and speed up the precise workloads required for AI. Primary producers include Tenstorrent, Groq, Cerebras, Graphcore, and Google.

Neo-clouds are new but increasingly available specialized clouds distinct from the traditional class of hyperscalers such as Azure, Google Cloud and AWS. They are AI-first, often built with accelerators, and well-suited for customers requiring AI training, inference and model building services. Neo-clouds provide massive parallelism, low-latency edge compute, flexible deployment and cheaper or more predictable economics. Example neo-clouds include CoreWeave and Nebius.

Typical AI use of neo-clouds includes training large-scale AI models and running high-throughput AI inference. In the latter, for example, the customer will use the neo-cloud’s accelerator-optimized low latency hardware to ensure rapid response times for in-house developed chatbots.

But accelerators, and...

I thought asking an AI agent to book a gym class was harmless, then I saw what happened if you ask Claude and OpenClaw to ‘move me to the top of the list’ — now I’m adding one safeguard to every agent prompt

AI agents seem to be getting a little out of control lately. Within the last few weeks, agents from OpenAI and Anthropic have been reported doing whatever it took to achieve their goal, while other incidents involved agents escaping sandboxed environments and hacking into companies Now another concerning incident has
