As organizations scale their use of generative AI, many workloads require cost-efficient, bulk processing rather than real-time responses. Amazon Bedrock batch inference addresses this need by enabling large datasets to be processed in bulk with predictable performance—at 50% lower cost than on-demand inference. This makes it ideal for tasks such as historical data analysis, large-scale text summarization, and background processing workloads. In this post, we explore how to monitor and manage Amazon Bedrock batch inference jobs using Amazon CloudWatch metrics, alarms, and dashboards to optimize performance, cost, and operational efficiency. New features in Amazon Bedrock batch inference Batch inference in…

CoPilot+ PC owners have a new perk in the pipeline. Your AI PC will soon perform Notepad’s AI writing features on-device — no subscription required.

So far, prompt injections have proved impossible to prevent, much like memory-corruption vulnerabilities in certain programming languages and SQL injections in Web applications are. That has left OpenAI and the rest of the LLM market reliant on mitigations that are often introduced on a case-by-case basis, and only in response to the discovery of a working exploit. Accordingly, OpenAI mitigated the prompt-injection technique ShadowLeak fell to—but only after Radware privately alerted the LLM maker to it. A proof-of-concept attack that Radware published embedded a prompt injection into an email sent to a Gmail account that Deep Research had been given…

A marquee lot in the Christie’s 20th-century evening sale in New York in November will be David Hockney’s Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy (1968), a double portrait of the storied English writer and his American artist partner in their home in Santa Monica, California.

Cultural authorities in Cairo have launched a nationwide search for a 3,000-year-old solid gold bracelet which has disappeared from the Egyptian Museum.  The missing artifact once belonged to King Amenemope of the 21st Dynasty (1077 BCE to 943 BCE).

The matter is now under the purview of law enforcement and the public prosecution office,…

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is being called “the biggest meme stock we’ve ever seen” by Yale School of Management Senior Associate Dean Jeff Sonnenfeld, who made the comments in a recent interview with CNBC. Sonnenfeld’s comments echo those of many of the company’s skeptics, who argue that its price-to-earnings ratio is far too high when compared to other companies also in the tech industry. Tesla is often compared to companies like Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft when these types of discussions come up. Fundamentally, yes, Tesla does trade at a P/E level that is significantly above that of any comparable company. However, it…
