ESPN streaming plans are getting more expensive

ESPN is hiking the price of its subscription on September 17th, a change that will also impact its bundles with Disney Plus. In a support page spotted earlier by Sports Media Watch, ESPN says its ad-supported Select membership will cost $13.99 instead of $12.99 / month, while its Unlimited plan will rise to $31.99 from $29.99 / month. The annual ESPN Select plan is also going to $139.99 from $129.99 / year, and the annual Unlimited tier is increasing to $319.99 from $299.99 / year. Meanwhile, Di

NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Blackwell Set a New Standard for Agentic AI Performance per Watt

AI agents have expanded inference from single-turn interactions into multi-step workflows that reason, invoke tools, coordinate subagents, and carry growing... AI agents have expanded inference from single-turn interactions into multi-step workflows that reason, invoke tools, coordinate subagents, and carry growing context from one turn to the next. The scale of this shift is now visible in raw consumption: across 100 trillion tokens of real-world usage, OpenRouter’s State of AI report found tha

The Real Skill Stack Behind Production-Ready AI Engineers

I've spent the better part of two years watching teams ship agentic AI systems, and a pattern keeps repeating. Two engineers read the same LangChain docs, attend the same conference talks, and build systems that look identical in a demo. Six months later, one system is handling thousands of requests a day with predictable behavior. The other gets quietly replaced by a simpler rules engine after it embarrassed someone in front of a customer. The gap between those two outcomes has almost nothing t

NVIDIA BlueField-4 Powers New Scale-In Network Infrastructure for Agentic AI Factories

Traditional cloud infrastructure was designed for predictable, general-purpose workloads and standard interfaces. Agentic AI factories connect diverse users,... Traditional cloud infrastructure was designed for predictable, general-purpose workloads and standard interfaces. Agentic AI factories connect diverse users, agents, applications, data sources, and storage systems to massively accelerated compute at multi-terabit bandwidth per server, making dedicated DPU processing essential for line-ra

Solving Agentic AI Fleet Challenges with NVIDIA Vera CPU

AI factories are interconnected systems where fleet economics depend on how efficiently the entire stack converts power and capital into completed agent tasks.... AI factories are interconnected systems where fleet economics depend on how efficiently the entire stack converts power and capital into completed agent tasks. While GPUs run the models, CPUs handle orchestration, tool execution, and sandboxed computation. Unlike conventional computing with stable runtime profiles, agentic workloads ar
