How to Migrate from OpenAI to Cerebrium for Cost-Predictable AI Inference

How To Migrate From OpenAI to Cerebrium for Cost-Predictable AI Inference If you're building an AI application, you probably started with OpenAI's convenient APIs. However, as your application scales, you'll need more control over costs, models, and infrastructure. Cerebrium is a serverless AI infrastructure platform that lets you run open-source models on dedicated hardware with predictable, time-based pricing instead of token-based billing. This guide will show you how to build a complete c

SAVE Student Loan Borrowers Have Less Than 2 Weeks Before Interest Restarts. Here's What to Do

Interest will restart for SAVE borrowers whose loans remain in a general forbearance on Aug. 1. Viva Tung/CNET If you're a student loan borrower enrolled in SAVE, you may feel pressured to switch to a new repayment before interest payments restart on Aug. 1. Although we know that you'll eventually have to move off this payment plan, you're not required to make any moves before August. In some cases, it might be better to remain in the general forbearance. Earlier this month, the Department of

This $20 Item Is the Thing I Buy First for My Kitchen When I Move

As a former girl scout I believe in always leaving a place better than I found it. As a food writer and former culinary school student, this entails always leaving behind a certain feature in any kitchen where I've lived. (As a former NYC resident, yes, there were numerous kitchens.) It's the first thing I buy for a new kitchen, without even needing to take measurements. Where I put it might be up for grabs, but it's guaranteed to be going somewhere. I'd sooner live without a microwave or a (*g

Did Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Backfire?

Would you consider a ride in a self-driving car? After hearing a bit about Tesla’s robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, last month, just under half of US consumers wouldn’t even think about it, according to survey data shared exclusively with WIRED. Thirty-one percent of the survey’s respondents said they’re not considering riding one right now. Sixty-five percent said they hadn’t even heard about Tesla’s robotaxi launch, which includes just a handful of cars and is open only to invited users—most

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent Is Haunting My Browser

Most people’s browser tabs are filled with unread news articles. Mine are filled with AI agents and ghost clicks. I have four instances of OpenAI’s ChatGPT Agent—the generative AI tool released last week, which can run searches and perform tasks on the web—already open with each running in its own tab. I’ve given these first four agents relatively simple jobs based on ChatGPT’s suggestions. One is clicking around to find a birthday gift on the Target website, and another is generating a pitch d

X Data Center Fire in Oregon Started Inside Power Cabinet, Authorities Say

A recent, hours-long fire at a data center used by Elon Musk’s X may have begun after an electrical or mechanical issue in a power system, according to an official fire investigation. WIRED was the first to report on the blaze, which occurred on May 22 in Hillsboro, Oregon. Data center giant Digital Realty operates the 13-acre site, and multiple people familiar with the matter previously told WIRED that the Musk-run social platform X has servers there. Data center fires are rare, with about tw

Why the Galaxy Z Fold 8 might be the foldable we've all been waiting for

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is an impressive book-style foldable that tackles many of the long-standing quibbles plaguing the Fold series for years. I spent a weekend with the device, and was floored by how much its reduced weight and thickness made it feel like a standard candy bar phone when folded. The cover screen is wider and more usable, the interior display is larger at eight inches, and the new 200MP camera sensor means imagery isn't a big sacrifice this time around.

What will become of the CIA?

In December, 1988, as the Soviet Union was beginning to come apart, Senator Bill Bradley, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, convened a closed-door hearing with several of the C.I.A.’s top Soviet experts. These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades. The hearing found them in a melancholy mood, pondering

My favourite German word

My favourite German word¶ 30th June 2025 A documentation colleague recently challenged me with a question: Nowadays, more and more people reach for an LLM tool to provide the information they want. If human beings don’t actually read it, what is the point of writing and structuring documentation for humans? Newer generations (she said) are becoming unskilled at finding information for themselves. They seem less able to digest what they find, to apply it to their problems. But it’s not just t

Sutton SignWriting is a writing system for sign languages

SignWriting was invented in 1974 by Valerie Sutton , a ballet dancer who eight years earlier had developed a dance notation named Sutton DanceWriting . [8] The current standardized form of SignWriting is known as the International Sign Writing Alphabet (ISWA). [9] The SignWriting system is visually iconic: its symbols depict the hands, face, and body of a signer.

Samsung’s next foldable might drop a premium material but regain a fan-favorite feature

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung is considering switching from titanium to carbon fiber in the Galaxy Z Fold 8 due to supply chain concerns. Using carbon fiber could also enable the return of S Pen support, which isn’t as compatible with titanium. Samsung is working on thinner stylus technology but hasn’t confirmed whether the S Pen will return next year. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 hasn’t even shipped yet, but Samsung already appears to be rethinking some key design elements for its 20
