Why Is AI Driving Data Centers Toward an 800-Volt Power Architecture?

Why Is AI Driving Data Centers Toward an 800-Volt Power Architecture?

The bottleneck in AI data centers is shifting from accelerator capabilities alone to the entire power-conversion chain, from the medium-voltage AC grid to the sub-one-volt power rails inside chips. The 800VDC architecture, along with solid-state transformers, SiC and GaN materials, and PMICs, is emerging as a way to reduce conversion stages, thermal losses, and copper consumption, but it introduces new safety, design, and operational requirements.

Satellite Operators Secure Launch Flights Amid a Capacity-Constrained Market

Satellite operators are rushing to reserve launch flights through 2028, despite uncertainty over the schedules of some vehicles, amid capacity constraints and concerns about cuts to rideshare programs. AST SpaceMobile says it has booked enough launches to complete its initial constellation, but the return of New Glenn and the availability of other alternatives remain decisive factors.

AmnesiaStealer Malware Allows Attackers to Remotely Control macOS Browser Sessions

Jamf discovered a new information-stealing malware targeting macOS users through ClickFix campaigns. It can copy Chromium profiles and run them in a hidden browser, allowing the attacker to control the user’s authenticated sessions. In addition to stealing browser data, the malware collects passwords, cryptocurrency wallets, Keychain data, and other files.

CHERI Redefines Pointer Security to Build Fine-Grained Software Isolation

David Chisnall explains how the CHERI architecture uses hardware capabilities to protect pointers and enforce memory bounds and permissions, providing spatial and temporal security for software written in C and C++ without extensive rewriting. The presentation connects this mechanism to the possibility of building precise isolation between system components while directly sharing data structures instead of relying entirely on traditional RPC mechanisms.

Dario Amodei: The Backlash Against AI Is a Crisis of Trust, Not a Messaging Crisis

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei rejected blaming warnings from AI leaders for growing public skepticism and regulatory hardening, saying the deeper problem is an accumulated crisis of trust between the public, companies, and governments. Amodei defended regulation of the AI sector, saying appropriate rules could limit the technology’s risks and the influence of major companies without closing the field to competitors or open-weight models.
