We weigh efficiency against hype as Huawei’s open-source quantization aims to shrink LLM costs while AI spending sprints toward $1.5T. From Oracle’s blue-sky risk to Cisco’s SNMP flaws, Equinix and Alkira’s AI networking moves, and a leap into quantum networking, we look for what’s real and what’s next.
• Huawei’s SINQ quantization for smaller, cheaper LLM deployments
• AI spend approaching $1.5T amid capacity and power constraints
• Oracle downside risk and the velocity of money in AI deals
• Cisco IOS XE SNMP vulnerabilities and urgent patching guidance
• Equinix Fabric Intelligence and AI Solutions Lab for AI interconnects
• Alkira MCP and NIA for AI-driven multi-cloud network operations
• Cisco’s quantum networking prototypes and entanglement chip
• Quantum error correction, room‑temperature operation, and security signals
