Your SEO strategy is optimized for a search engine that no longer exists.
Google I/O made it official: AI-generated answers are now front and center in search, and most brands have almost no visibility into how AI is describing them to their customers. For anyone who has spent years building a strategy around 10 blue links, the rules just changed in a pretty significant w...
NVIDIA Releases Polar, a Token-Faithful Rollout Framework for GRPO Training Across Codex, Claude Code, and Qwen Code
NVIDIA researchers have introduced Polar, a rollout framework that trains language agents using reinforcement learning without modifying their agent harnesses. Polar places a model API proxy between the harness and the inference server, capturing token-level interactions and reconstructing trainer-r...
Last week, we had our first Infrastructure & Ops superstream of 2026, Platform Engineering in the Age of AI. Our speakers explored a range of topics focused on supporting new AI workloads, each with unique infrastructure needs, unpredictable costs, and novel security concerns. Google Cloud’s Abdel S...

The Statistics of Token Selection: Logits, Temperature, and Top-P Walkthrough
When large language models, or LLMs for short, produce outputs, several criteria are at stake, including not only overall response relevance but also coherence and creativity.
The following article originally appeared on Addy Osmani’s blog and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. The default behavior of any AI coding agent is to take the shortest path to “done.” Ask for a feature and it writes the feature. It doesn’t ask whether you have a spec, write a te...
