Overview On 2024-11-13, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) v2 PKG installer and source distribution bundle will no longer support macOS 10.15 (Catalina), following the macOS support policy for the AWS CLI v2. This means that macOS 10.15’s compatibility with newer AWS CLI v2 versions will not be guaranteed. Migrating to macOS 11 or

Matthijs Gielen, Jay Christiansen Background New solutions, old problems. Artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) are here to signal a new day in the cybersecurity world, but what does that mean for us—the attackers and defenders—and our battle to improve security through all the noise? Data is everywhere. For most organizations, the access

Managing applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters is complex, especially when those clusters span different environments or even cloud providers. One powerful and secure solution combines Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) fleets and, Argo CD, a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. The solution is further enhanced with Connect Gateway and Workload Identity. This blog post

As AI models increase in sophistication, there’s increasingly large model data needed to serve them. Loading the models and weights along with necessary frameworks to serve them for inference can add seconds or even minutes of scaling delay, impacting both costs and the end-user’s experience.  For example, inference servers such as Triton, Text Generation Inference

As generative AI evolves, we’re beginning to see the transformative potential it is having across industries and our lives. And as large language models (LLMs) increase in size — current models are reaching hundreds of billions of parameters, and the most advanced ones are approaching 2 trillion — the need for computational power will only

Rapidly evolving generative AI models place unprecedented demands on the performance and efficiency of hardware accelerators. Last month, we launched our sixth-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), Trillium, to address the demands of next-generation models. Trillium is purpose-built for performance at scale, from the chip to the system to our Google data center deployments, to power

Getting insights into customer’s preferences and needs is crucial for any modern business — and that’s especially true for a retail bank. Insights from customer data help deliver improved customer experiences through custom tailored products, better services, and higher levels of automation. But to gain these customer insights, you need your input data to be

Have you heard of the monkey and the pedestal? Astro Teller, the head of Google’s X “moonshot factory,” likes to use this metaphor to describe tackling the biggest challenge first, despite being tempted by the endorphin boost of completing more familiar tasks. It’s a challenge startups know well. When you’re re-inventing the industry standard, it’s
