Cloudflare announced Clef, a set of open-weight models intended to select among predefined options instead of generating text, and released 9B- and 27B-parameter models plus a platform for adapting them to decision-making tasks. A separate Hugging Face post is titled “Multimodal open d1 decision models for the edge,” but its supplied summary does not establish that it concerns Clef or Cloudflare.
InfoQ European organisations can enhance their technological sovereignty by developing credible alternatives and acquiring necessary skills, rather than completely avoiding global providers. A panel discussion at the OSS EU highlighted the importance of understanding dependencies in…
InfoQ A survey conducted by independent research firm Coleman Parkes on behalf of Undo, a company focused on scaling AI-powered root-cause analysis, found that while AI coding agents have accelerated code generation, they have shifted the primary bottleneck to debugging, code…
InfoQ At Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2026, Wolfram Sang discussed the Linux building blocks for asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP). He highlighted the solid foundation but noted challenges like limited contributor coverage and fragmented testing. Sang's work on a hardware-spinlock…
InfoQ Grab migrated its high-volume Counter Service from a wide column database to Aerospike using storage abstraction, shadow traffic, data parity validation, and gradual traffic migration. The redesigned data model consolidated time buckets into map-based records. Grab reports about…
InfoQ On October 14, InfoQ hosts a free 60-minute panel with five practitioners on running AI in production. They'll discuss agent autonomy and human approval, how to verify AI-generated changes, sensitive-data exposure, and production RAG. Registrants can submit questions and will…
InfoQ Hannah Foxwell shares how the surge of agentic coding forces engineering leaders to rethink team dynamics. She discusses three key anchors for navigating AI-driven velocity: building software worth building, prioritizing automated safety over speed, and preserving the human…
InfoQ The article describes a custom implementation that provides a session-level ordering on top of Apache Kafka partitions, supporting strict message ordering across 1000s of independent channels. The solution required application-level routing, consistent hashing, retries, and…
InfoQ Cloudflare placed frontier AI models inside a controlled testing harness to probe its Web Application Firewall (WAF), using blocked attacks as starting points for models to generate and refine new variations. By Matt Foster
InfoQ Google has made Spanner Omni generally available, running its distributed SQL database on-premises, across clouds or on a laptop. Doing so meant replacing Colossus with a Colossus-like abstraction layer and TrueTime with software-based time synchronization. There is no…
InfoQ OpenTelemetry has promoted its Kubernetes Attributes Processor to v1.0.0, marking a significant step in making Kubernetes telemetry more predictable and stable across observability pipelines. By Craig Risi
InfoQ A preview of the 15-track QCon London 2027 program, covering agent evaluation and guardrails, AI-era architecture, distributed-system debugging, modern data platforms, high-performance engineering, and Staff+ leadership. By Artenisa Chatziou
InfoQ Matthew Liste explains the 12 core principles of building scalable, reliable platforms for enterprise tech teams. From avoiding technical debt and managing deprecation to building a strong engineering culture, Liste discusses how to design infrastructure platforms that reduce…
InfoQ Przemyslaw Alexander Kaminski created RACE, a Rust terminal multiplexer on an infinite canvas that detaches child shells into background processes. When he launched an ad campaign, automated scanners suspended his account for malware despite clean notarization and Safe Browsing…
InfoQ Cloudflare recently launched the open beta of cf, a new open-source, agent-focused command-line interface for interacting with Cloudflare services through a unified CLI. Written in TypeScript, it provides structured output and command discovery to make Cloudflare’s APIs easier…

InfoQ Akka used 65 open-source projects to examine how specification structure, context, model selection, automated validation, and delivery guardrails affect AI assisted software porting. The experiment measured time, token use, code size, test parity, and performance, finding…
InfoQ Susan Chang explains how Elastic transitioned from siloed, ad-hoc AI agent evaluations to a unified, production-grade framework. She discusses balancing LLM-as-a-judge with deterministic rules, bridging Python data science evals with TypeScript production code, and implementing…
InfoQ In this episode, Chris Swan, engineer at Atsign and security track host at QCon London, reflects on the ideas shared during QCon London 2026 and teases topics of the future edition. The discussion explores how security engineering is shifting from relying on human vigilance…
InfoQ In this article, author discusses his experience with AI agent hallucinations in an inventory recommendation system and how this problem was solved by treating the LLM stack as a platform infrastructure concern instead of as an application one. He makes a case for a shared LLM…
