Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service gets independent affirmation of its zero operator access design

Amazon EKS just went full Fort Knox. It now runs on azero operator accessmodel - meaning even AWS can’t peek inside your Kubernetes control or data plane. The setup leans on theNitro System’s confidential compute,guarded APIs, andmulti-party approval pipelines. NCC Group also kicked the tires and ga.. read more

Streamline Complex AI Inference on Kubernetes with NVIDIA Grove

NVIDIA releasedGrove, a Kubernetes API baked intoDynamo, to wrangle the chaos of modern AI inference. It pulls apart your big, messy model into clean, discrete chunks - prefill, decode, routing - and runs them like a single, orchestrated act. The trick?Custom hierarchical resources. They let Grove h.. read more

The 1 Billion Token Challenge: Finding the Perfect Pre-training Mix

Researchers squeezed GPT-2-class performance out of a model trained on just1 billion tokens- 10× less data - by dialing in a sharp dataset mix:50% finePDFs, 30% DCLM-baseline, 20% FineWeb-Edu. Static mixing beat curriculum strategies. No catastrophic forgetting. No overfitting. And it hit90%+of GPT-.. read more

Jensen Huang's Stark Warning: China's 1 Million AI Workers vs America's 20,000

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, in some leaked comments, didn’t mince words: U.S. export bans aren’t hobbling China’s AI game - they’re fueling it. He pointed to Huawei’s 910C chip edging close to H100 territory, a forecast putting China ahead in AI compute by 2027, and a fast-growing local chip industry n.. read more

Grafana Tempo is a distributed tracing backend built for massive scale and low operational overhead. Unlike traditional tracing systems that depend on complex databases, Tempo uses object storage—such as S3, GCS, or Azure Blob Storage—to store trace data, making it highly cost-effective and resilient. Tempo is part of the Grafana observability stack and integrates natively with Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki, enabling unified visualization and correlation across metrics, logs, and traces.

Technically, Tempo supports ingestion from major tracing protocols including Jaeger, Zipkin, OpenCensus, and OpenTelemetry, ensuring easy interoperability. It features TraceQL, a domain-specific query language for traces inspired by PromQL and LogQL, allowing developers to perform targeted searches and complex trace-based analytics. The newer TraceQL Metrics capability even lets users derive metrics directly from trace data, bridging the gap between tracing and performance analysis.

Tempo’s Traces Drilldown UI further enhances usability by providing intuitive, queryless analysis of latency, errors, and performance bottlenecks. Combined with the tempo-cli and tempo-vulture tools, it delivers a full suite for trace collection, verification, and debugging.

Built in Go and following OpenTelemetry standards, Grafana Tempo is ideal for organizations seeking scalable, vendor-neutral distributed tracing to power observability at cloud scale.
