NVIDIA teased its data-center Blackwell B100 accelerator hitting 5 000 TFLOPs FP8 and 1.6 TB/s HBM4. A liquid-vapor cold plate holds power to 350 W while PCIe switch fabric scaled eight cards losslessly across one chassis.

Cloudflare’s new Mirage Cache runs WASM transforms at 5 000 POPs, converting hero images to AVIF and serving device-tuned versions from edge RAM. LCP dropped from 2.4 s to 900 ms in Africa and rural Canada alike without touching origin or updating code.
