The cloud giants say they've built a tool "to transform how cloud service providers connect with one another." It links Google's Cross-Cloud Interconnect with AWS Interconnect, allowing customers to set up a private high-speed link between resources running on their respective clouds. The two companies claim they've produced a new open specification for network interoperability, with the API available for other providers to adopt.

Europe's long-running struggle to define digital sovereignty - and to turn it into something practical - is reaching an inflection point. That was the message at this year's Gaia-X Summit in Porto, where executives and governments argued that the continent finally has the technical foundations for sovereign data sharing. All it needs now is the political will, economic models, and global partnerships to make it work at scale.

The change represents an important step in Epic's long-running vision of turning Fortnite into an open metaverse that's a big 3D social space with a huge number of experiences to participate in with your friends. Epic has been marching down this path for years with Fortnite itself by putting an increased focus on creator-made experiences and making browsing through those experiences in the Fortnite lobby feel like scrolling YouTube. You can even check out experiences on the web - and buy new Fortnite outfits in your browser, too.

Google proposed a number of changes in the €2.95B EU antitrust fine over its ad technology. The changes include changes to Google Ad Manager and increasing the interoperability between its tools. Google still plans to appeal the ruling. Google wrote, "As required, we have submitted our compliance plan..." They did a similar thing with the US monopoly case, offering its own remedies.

Software keeps evolving, and with it, the design experience. In recent years, this evolution has accelerated- machine learning, AI, prompts, and integrated workflows have moved from the periphery to the core of design practice, becoming part of the shared language between software and users. As these tools take hold, a key question emerges: How will this reshape our experience of designing architecture in the future?

Billed as a shared, standardised language for how AI agents communicate across advertising, it's supposed to bring order to the next wave of machine-driven media. Instead, its debut last week triggered more debate than consensus.

Snowflake, together with partners, is introducing the open-source initiative 'Open Semantic Interchange' (OSI). The initiative aims to create a standard for semantic metadata in AI and BI applications. The problem is ubiquitous in the modern data world. Every tool interprets business statistics differently, leading to confusion and undermining trust in AI-driven insights. As AI transforms the way companies use data, this challenge is only growing.

The global supply chain is all about modern logistics today, but it is also fragmented and complex. With different carriers, ports, customs agencies, and logistics companies all using their own unique systems and data formats, it is a recipe for miscommunication, inefficiency, and costly delays. This lack of a common language is particularly evident in the " track and trace " process. When a container moves from a carrier's system to a port's system to a customs agency's system, the data often doesn't transfer seamlessly.

Non-profit technology advocacy group The MACH Alliance has forged new connections for agent-to-agent AI services. Standing up for the proposed benefits of Microservices-based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless technologies, alliance members include firms from PayPal to MongoDB to Google Cloud. The group wants to "clarify the how" in agent-to-agent ecosystem interconnections through connected composable architectures. Certifications and governance The Alliance is refreshing its positioning to drive interoperability through new certifications and governance standards.

"This initiative aims to build a smarter, more secure, and more personalized health care system - one that improves patient outcomes, reduces provider burden, and drives greater value through private-sector innovation and aligned federal leadership," CMS spokesperson Catherine Howden said in a written statement.

The CAFC held that directPacket's patent claims did not improve device interoperability functionality, deeming them too abstract and general to qualify for eligibility.

Scala's implicit function parameters introduce a complexity during migration to Kotlin, as they lack a direct equivalent, complicating API interactions and reliance.
