    THE PATH TO BECOMING ENTERPRISE READY: 3 DEVELOPER'S GUIDES TO GET
    STARTED (SPONSOR) [4]

    If you have ambitions to sell software to enterprise customers,
    single sign-on [5] and SCIM provisioning [6] are likely non-negotiable
    features you must support. These are important for security, user
    lifecycle management, and access control. Here are 3 TECHNICAL GUIDES
    FROM WORKOS:

    * A guide to organization modeling [7] Ä How your app handles
    users, teams, and the relationships between the two Ä is an
    important but often overlooked part of building authentication and authorization into your app.
    * The developer's guide to SSO [8] Ä A deep dive into the SAML authentication flow, XML nuances, and why rolling your own SSO is so challenging.
    * Unlocking the power of SCIM: streamlining enterprise user
    management [9] Ä Besides secure user deprovisioning, SCIM can unlock
    additional use cases such as pre-provisioning, automated access
    management, and more.

    Start selling to enterprises with just a few lines of code. [10]

    INTEL CEO PAT GELSINGER'S DREAM JOB TAKES A NIGHTMARISH TURN (5
    MINUTE READ) [11]

    Intel's stock ended Friday trading down 26 percent. The company
    recently reported financial results and an outlook with
    lower-than-expected revenue and profit-margin forecasts. It plans to
    lay off around 15,000 employees, target $10 billion in cost cuts next
    year, and suspend dividend payments in the fourth quarter. Intel's
    market value is now at a level last seen 15 years ago.

    NVIDIA REPORTEDLY DELAYS ITS NEXT AI CHIP DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW (2
    MINUTE READ) [12]

    Nvidia's Blackwell B200 chips will take at least three months longer
    to produce than was planned. The delay is due to a design flaw that
    was discovered unusually late in the production process. Nvidia is now
    working through a fresh set of test runs and won't ship large numbers
    of the chips until the first quarter. Microsoft, Google, and Meta have
    already ordered tens of billions of dollars worth of the chips.

    NEURALINK INSTALLS ITS BRAIN IMPLANT INTO A SECOND HUMAN PATIENT (3
    MINUTE READ) [13]

    Elon Musk announced on a recent podcast that Neuralink has installed
    its second implant into a human patient. The implant is apparently
    working very well. Musk said last month that there could be over 1,000
    humans with Neuralink implants by 2026. A link to the podcast, in
    which Musk discusses Neuralink and its brain implant technology at
    length, is available in the article - Musk shares the news near the
    beginning of the four hour conversation.

    CONSIDER THE EEL (32 MINUTE READ) [14]

    Forsea Foods is an Israeli startup focused on growing eel meat in the
    lab. The company believes that starting with a premium offering makes
    the most sense due to the high costs of production. The price of eel
    meat is set to rise as the global population is cratering - the
    European eel population has fallen by 98% since 1980. Forsea's
    technology allows it to grow different types of cells in a single
    bioreactor, cutting down on both production time and costs. It plans
    to launch its product commercially starting in Japan in 2026.

    ¨ MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF CONTAINER SPEND IS WASTED ON IDLE
    RESOURCES (SPONSOR) [15]

    Datadog's State of Cloud Costs report [15] reveals that organizations
    are spending big, even when they can avoid it. Container costs now
    account for a third of EC2 spend, with up to 80% of it wasted [15] on
    idle resources. AI is also taking its toll: GPU spend up by 40%. Read
    the full findings and analysis [15]

    REAL-TIME DATABASE STARTUP CLICKHOUSE ACQUIRES PEERDB TO EXPAND ITS
    POSTGRES SUPPORT (4 MINUTE READ) [16]

    ClickHouse has acquired PeerDB, a company focused on cost-effective
    Postgres replication and change data capture. PeerDB offers speed
    improvements and a number of specialized capabilities that ClickHouse
    didn't previously offer. Its open source components will remain open
    source without any change to their licenses and ClickHouse will also
    open source the production-grade Helm charts for PeerDB's enterprise
    offering. Existing commercial customers will be able to use the PeerDB
    Cloud service until July 24 next year.

    SQLITE-VEC (GITHUB REPO) [17]

    sqlite-vec is an extremely small vector search SQLite extension. It
    can store and query float, int8, and binary vectors in vec0 virtual
    tables. sqlite-vec doesn't have any dependencies and runs anywhere
    that SQLite runs.

    THERE'S A TOOL TO CATCH STUDENTS CHEATING WITH CHATGPT. OPENAI HASN'T
    RELEASED IT (8 MINUTE READ) [18]

    OpenAI has a method that can reliably detect when someone has used
    ChatGPT to write an essay or research paper, but it hasn't released it
    despite it having been ready for release for about a year. The company
    is concerned that the tool would be unpopular with its users and disproportionately affect some groups. The tool is 99.9% effective
    when there is enough text. However, the watermarks it generates can be
    erased through simple techniques like having Google translate the text
    into another language and back or having ChatGPT add emojis to the
    text and then manually deleting them.

    MISTRAL AI CEO ARTHUR MENSCH ON MICROSOFT, REGULATION, AND EUROPE'S
    AI ECOSYSTEM (13 MINUTE READ) [19]

    Mistral AI has rapidly risen as a homegrown European champion over
    the past year. The company was valued at more than $6 billion in June.
    Its CEO, Arthur Mensch, has been vocal in debates over the EU's AI
    law, saying that lawmakers should focus on regulating how others use
    those models rather than regulating general-purpose AI models like
    Mistral's. This article contains an interview with Mensch where he
    discusses attracting talent, how Mistral plans to turn a profit, and
    what's missing from Europe's AI ecosystem.
