How AT&T Built a Trillion-Token Telecom AI Using Open Models, AMD GPUs, and Microsoft Foundry
AT&T processed one trillion tokens to build OTel 2.0, a telecom-specific AI model, using Microsoft Foundry Managed Compute and a fleet of 430 AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs. The project saved tens of millions of dollars by substituting open models and dedicated infrastructure for expensive frontier AI services. The approach provides a practical blueprint for Windows IT teams: adopt multi-model pipelines, evaluate managed compute services, and prepare integration layers—but be mindful that Foundry's offering is still in preview without an SLA.

Intel Xeon 6 Servers Now Run Compressed Llama 3.3 70B at 3.86 Tokens/s, Cutting Latency in Half
Multiverse Computing’s CompactifAI compression enables Llama 3.3 70B to run on Intel Xeon 6 processors with vLLM CPU, achieving 3.86 tokens per second output and halving latency versus the uncompressed model. The benchmark, announced July 23, 2026, shows a path to enterprise AI inference without GPUs, given sufficient RAM and careful validation.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Now Lets AI Agents Act Inside Your ERP — Under Strict Control
Microsoft has introduced Model Context Protocol servers for Dynamics 365, enabling AI agents to act inside ERP and CRM transactions under existing security controls. The move marks a shift from passive AI assistants to governed, agentic business applications, with over 650,000 actions now available and a deadline of October 2026 to retire the older static integration. Organizations should start with narrow, high-volume workflows and rigorous testing to avoid governance pitfalls.
AI-Generated Counterexample Could Overturn 30-Year Graph Theory Conjecture—If It Holds Up
A small but precise AI-generated counterexample threatens to disprove the 30-year-old Dinitz–Garg–Goemans conjecture in graph theory, with fractional flow costing 58 vs. unsplittable flow's 60. Both OpenAI's GPT-5.6 and xAI's Grok 4.5 produced the result, but independent verification is essential before the mathematical community accepts the claim. The discovery highlights a powerful new research workflow that Windows users can replicate using readily available tools.
Databricks to Run Its Own Operations on Azure's Custom Arm Chips in Decade-Long Deal
Databricks has extended its Azure partnership through the 2030s, committing to run its own operations on Microsoft's custom Cobalt Arm chips.
