    Cowboy Space unveils 'Big Iron' rocket to launch 20k AI data centers

    Cowboy Space, led by Robinhood co-founder Baiju Bhatt, unveiled Big Iron, a 282-foot stainless-steel rocket whose reusable first stage is powered by nine methalox Clydesdale engines and whose upper stage becomes a data-center satellite carrying about 1 megawatt of GPU compute. The company plans a constellation of roughly 20,000 such satellites in low Earth orbit, called Stampede, requiring 20,000 launches from launch complexes it calls Trailheads, and aims for a first Big Iron launch in December 2028. Bhatt also announced Big Iron Express for customer payloads, and the company currently operates the Reason-1 satellite, launched Oct. 1 on SpaceX's Transporter-18, to prove out power beaming.

  2. Codex Releases28

    0.165.0

    This release adds a built-in Google Cloud Vertex AI provider configured with model_provider = "gcp", adds GPT-6.1 Terra to the model catalogs, and adds a repository filter to the session picker plus directory grouping in the agent command center. It also enables reasoning effort changes during a conversation by default for supported models, turns on memory v2 by default for fresh profiles with support for importing external-agent memories, and adds experimental attached thread forks to the app-server API. Bug fixes include honoring the server's default approval reviewer on fresh TUI sessions, cancelling remote MCP tool requests when local response futures are dropped, treating model-not-found provider errors as terminal, and closing a marketplace URL validation gap involving backslashes in userinfo.

    Unlocking Investment Insights Without Migrating Your Data: Lakehouse Federation

    Databricks Lakehouse Federation lets users create federated connections to external databases such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Snowflake and query them directly from Databricks with standard SQL, keeping data in place. The post walks through a wealth management example that joins on-premises portfolio holdings with FactSet data subscribed from the Databricks Marketplace in a single query, then powers a dashboard and a Genie natural-language agent without pipelines, materialized views, or persisted objects. It notes the same pattern applies to other industries, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and retail.

    The Big Technology Guide To: Enterprise AI

    Big Technology's first guide to enterprise AI surveys the market opportunity, the major labs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) and cloud players, the layers of the enterprise AI stack, build-versus-buy decisions, data and harness needs, and governance gaps. It cites Gartner findings that only 13% of CIOs report significant value from AI and that 71% of organizations expect to deploy agents within a year while just 21% have agentic governance in place, alongside Anthropic's growth from 1,500 to 11,900 customers paying over $100,000 per year between December 2025 and June 2026. It concludes that closing the "capability overhang" will depend on data practices, process redesign, and cultural readiness.

    How Anthropic ships Claude with Claude: Separating the Brain from the Hands

    This episode interviews Katelyn Lesse and Angela Jiang, Anthropic's heads of Engineering and Product, about the Opus 5.5 launch, covering pricing and intelligence-per-dollar tradeoffs, efforts to make the API harder to distill (including preserving thinking blocks across turns), and the Managed Agents architecture that separates the session log and harness from the sandbox executing code. The guests explain that this separation keeps credentials out of sandboxes and lets the harness persist when an execution environment fails, and they describe "dreaming" as one agent inspecting another agent's prior work and writing memories back. They also discuss evaluation work, safety attention as launches have become harder, and keeping the base harness simple while developers experiment with verifiers and parallel agents on top.

    From spot fixes to measured gains: improving document extraction accuracy with ai_extract and MLflow Prompt Registry

    A Databricks engineering post describes extracting roughly 40 structured fields from partner order documents across dozens of PDF layouts, where a schema fix that halved errors on the revision field raised total errors across all fields by 9%. The authors recommend putting field rules in schema descriptions, document-level logic in global instructions, precision mode (ai_extract 2.1) for complex structures, and citations to diagnose errors, while versioning prompts and schemas in MLflow Prompt Registry with aliases such as @prod and @candidate. They evaluate candidates against a frozen human-reviewed test set, tracking accuracy, coverage and run-to-run variation, and report that restructuring the prompt and schema plus precision mode cut overall errors by 32% and revision errors by 64%.

    Announcing SOCI-indexed images for faster SageMaker AI jobs

    AWS announced Seekable OCI (SOCI) indexing for Amazon SageMaker AI Training and processing jobs, which lazy-loads container images so jobs start in seconds instead of minutes by fetching only the files needed to launch and streaming the rest in the background. Benchmarks across eight images from 1.8 GB to 35.4 GB showed download times dropping from as much as 7 min 17 s to 3–11 s, with training performance unaffected beyond a 3–16 s first-epoch penalty. Users can adopt it by switching to a pre-indexed AWS Deep Learning Container with the -soci tag or by creating an index for their own image, with no changes to job definitions, entry points, or data channels.

    Fast, reliable A2UI, with swappable inference formats

    A2UI now supports swappable inference formats, with A2UI Express as the new default that requires up to 3x fewer tokens than Direct JSON and can cut latency by up to 3x, while decision models like Jev can reduce latency by up to 80x for layouts defined in advance. Express is available in the Python agent SDK (a2ui-agent-sdk 0.9.0), the TypeScript agent SDK (@a2ui/agent) and the Dart SDK (a2ui_agent 0.0.1-wip004), and the SDK compiles the model's reply into validated A2UI messages. The post also describes the Apparite (jev2ui) example, where Jev answers layout questions and code builds the component tree, with screens complete in 0.8 to 1.7 s across 11 prompts in a small first-look sample.

    Why it matters: It gives concrete latency and token figures plus working SDK versions for teams weighing Express against decision-model-driven layouts.
