At CES 2026, Lenovo going all-in on AI (like every other company), but itโs hiding all the fun goodies in the back, and Iโm excited about what might be coming.
The post Lenovoโs CES 2026 is hiding the fun stuff behind AI โ hereโs what Iโm excited about appeared first on Digital Trends.
LAS VEGAS โ Speaking this week on the Amazon Web Services re:Invent stage, AWS executive Colleen Aubrey delivered a prediction that doubled as a wake-up call for companies still thinking of AI as just another tool.
โI believe that over the next few years, agentic teammates can be essential to every team โ as essential as the people sitting right next to you,โ Aubrey said during the Wednesday keynote. โThey will fundamentally transform how companies build and deliver for their customers.โ
But what does that look like in practice? On her own team, for example, Aubrey says she challenged groups that once had 50 people taking nine months to deliver a new product to do the same with 10 people working for three months.
Meanwhile, non-engineers such as finance analysts are building working prototypes using AI tools, contributing code in Amazonโs Kiro agentic development tool alongside engineers, and feeding those prototypes into Amazonโs famous PR/FAQ planning process on weekly cycles.
Those are some of the details that Aubrey shared when we sat down with her after the keynote at the GeekWire Studios booth in the re:Invent expo hall to dig into the themes from her talk. Aubrey is senior vice president of Applied AI Solutions at AWS, overseeing the companyโs push into business applications for call centers, supply chains, and other sectors.
Continue reading for takeaways from the conversation, watch the video below, and listen to the conversation starting in the second segment of this weekโs GeekWire Podcast.
The โteammateโ mental model changes everything. Aubrey draws a clear line between single-purpose AI tools that do one thing well and the agentic teammates she sees emerging โ systems that take responsibility for whole objectives, and require a different kind of management.ย
โI think people will increasingly be managers of AI,โ she said. โThe days of having to do the individual keystrokes ourselves, I think, are fast fading. And in fact, everyone is going to be a manager now. You have to think about prioritization, delegation, and auditing. Whatโs the quality of our feedback, providing coaching. What are the guardrails?โ
Amazon Connect crosses $1 billion. AWSโs call center platform reached $1 billion in annual revenue on a run rate basis, with Aubrey noting it has accelerated year-over-year growth for two consecutive years.ย
This week at re:Invent, the team announced 29 new capabilities across four areas: Nova Sonic voice interaction that Aubrey says is โvery close to being indistinguishableโ from human conversation; agents that complete tasks on behalf of customers; clickstream intelligence for product recommendations; and observability tools for inspecting AI reasoning.ย
One interesting detail: Aubrey said sheโs often surprised by Nova Sonicโs sophistication and empathy in complex conversations โ and equally surprised when it fails at basic tasks like spelling an address correctly.ย
โThereโs still work to do to really polish that,โ she said.
The ROI question gets a โyes and no.โ Asked whether companies are seeing the business value to justify AI agent investments, Aubrey offered a nuanced response. โI observe companies to struggle to realize the business impact,โ she said. But she said the value often shows up as eliminating bottlenecks โ clearing backlogs, erasing technical debt, accelerating security patching โ rather than immediate revenue gains.ย
โIโm not going to see the impact on my P&L today,โ she said, โbut if I fast forward a year, Iโm going to have a product in market where real customers are using and getting real value, and weโre learning and iterating where I might not have even been halfway there in the past.โย
Her advice for companies still hesitating: โIf you donโt start today, thatโs a one way door decisionโฆ I think you have to start the journey today. I would suggest people get focused, they get moving, because if you donโt, I think that becomes existential.โ
Trust requires observability. Aubrey says companies wonโt get full value from AI teammates if they canโt see how theyโre reasoning.ย
โIf you donโt trust an AI teammate, then youโre never going to realize the full benefit,โ she said. โYouโre not going to give them the hard tasks, youโre not going to invest in their development.โย
The solution is treating AI inspection the same way youโd manage a human colleague: understand why it took an action, audit the quality, and iterate.ย
โYou can refine your knowledge bases. You can refine your workflows. You can refine your guardrails, and then confidently keep iteratingโฆ the same way we do with each other. We keep iterating, we keep learning, and we keep getting better,โ she said.
Product updates: Beyond Connect, Aubrey offered updates on other parts of her portfolio of Amazonโs applied AI solutions.ย
She teased โa few other new investment areasโ expected to come in early 2026.
Amazon is experimenting again. This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we dig into our scoop on Amazon Now, the companyโs new ultrafast delivery service. Plus, we recap the GeekWire teamโs ride in a Zoox robotaxi on the Las Vegas Strip during Amazon Web Services re:Invent.
In our featured interview from the expo hall, AWS Senior Vice President Colleen Aubrey discusses Amazonโs push into applied AI, why the company sees AI agents as โteammates,โ and how her team is rethinking product development in the age of agentic coding.

Real estate investment is evolving rapidly. Thanks to real estate tokenization projects and digital tokenization, investors can now access premium properties without huge capital or complex legal hurdles. Tokenization of real estate is redefining property ownership, making it fractional, transparent, and tradable on global platforms.
At DureDev, we are a leading real estate tokenization development company. We create real estate marketplaces where property owners can tokenize real estate, and investors can explore fractional ownership real estate, yield farming, and other cryptocurrency tokenization opportunities safely and compliantly.
A real estate marketplace is a digital platform where tokenized real estate assets are listed, traded, and managed. These marketplaces allow fractional real estate investing, enabling investors of all sizes to participate in premium properties.
Key featuresย include:
Asset tokenization allows a single property to be divided into smaller, tradable digital tokens. This opens the market to more investors and adds liquidity that traditional real estateย lacks.
Benefits:
Example: A $3M villa can be split into 3,000 tokens worth $1,000 each, allowing hundreds of investors to participate without needing fullย capital.
The demand for tokenization in blockchain and tokenization in cryptocurrency is growing byย 2025:
DureDev enables seamless real estate tokenization development with full-stack platforms, smart contract auditing, investor onboarding, and global-ready marketplaces.
These platforms offer liquidity, automation, and global accessibility, transforming traditional real estate investment.
As a real estate tokenization development company, weย provide:
Whether you are a property owner, startup, or REIT, DureDev helps you tokenize real estate efficiently while ensuring transparency and compliance.
The era of tokenized real estate is here. By leveraging digital tokenization, crypto tokenization, and real world assets crypto, investors gain liquidity, transparency, and automated yields.
With DureDev, property owners can launch real estate marketplaces, tokenized REITs, and fractional investment platforms, making property investment accessible, global, and future-ready.
The Future of Real Estate Investment: A Complete Guide to Tokenized Marketplaces was originally published in Coinmonks on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
Crypto research firm Delphi Digital argues that global dollar liquidity has quietly flipped from a structural headwind to a marginal tailwind for risk assets for the first time since early 2022 โ with 2026 emerging as the key inflection point for digital assets.
In a macro thread on X, Delphi says โthe Fedโs rate path heading into next year is the clearest itโs been in years.โ Futures imply another 25-basis-point cut by December 2025, taking the federal funds rate to roughly 3.5โ3.75%. โThe forward curve prices at least 3 more cuts through 2026, putting us in the low 3s by year-end if the path holds,โ the firm notes.
Short-term benchmarks have already adjusted. According to Delphi, โSOFR and fed funds have drifted toward the high 3% range. Real rates have rolled over from their 2023โ2024 peaks. But nothing has collapsed. This is a controlled descent rather than a pivot.โ The characterization is important: this is not a return to zero rates, but a gradual easing that removes pressure on duration and high-beta assets.
The more consequential shift is in the liquidity plumbing. โQT ends on December 1. The TGA is set to draw down rather than refill. The RRP has been fully depleted,โ Delphi writes. โTogether, these create the first net positive liquidity environment since early 2022.โ
In a follow-up post, the firm is explicit: โThe Fedโs liquidity buffer is gone. Reverse Repo Balances collapsed from over $2 trillion at the peak to practically zero.โ In 2023, a swollen RRP allowed the Treasury to refill its General Account without directly draining bank reserves, because money-market funds could absorb issuance out of the RRP. โWith the RRP now at the floor, that buffer no longer exists,โ Delphi warns.
From here, โany future Treasury issuance or TGA rebuild has to come directly out of bank reserves.โ That forces a policy choice. As Delphi puts it, โThe Fed is left with two options: let reserves drift lower and risk another repo spike or expand the balance sheet to provide liquidity directly. Given how badly 2019 went, the second path is far more likely.โ
In that scenario, the central bank would shift from shrinking its balance sheet to adding reserves, reversing a core dynamic of the past two years. โCombined with QT ending and the TGA set to draw down, marginal liquidity is turning net positive for the first time since early 2022,โ Delphi concludes. โA key headwind for crypto could be fading.โ
For the crypto market, the firm frames 2026 as the pivotal year: โ2026 is the year policy stops being a headwind and becomes a mild tailwind. The kind that favors duration, large caps, gold, and digital assets with structural demand behind them.โ
Rather than calling for an immediate price spike, Delphiโs thesis is that the macro regime is shifting toward a more supportive, liquidity-positive backdrop for Bitcoin and larger crypto assets as policy eases and the era of aggressive balance-sheet contraction comes to an end.
At press time, the total crypto market cap was at $3.1 trillion.
Tech talent, especially with advanced and specialized skills, remains elusive. Findings from a recent IT global HR trends report by Gi Group show a 47% enterprise average struggles with sourcing and retaining talent. As a consequence, turnover remains high.
Another international study by Cegos highlights that 53% of 200 directors or managers of information systems in Italy alone say the difficulty of attracting and retaining IT talent is something they face daily.ย Cybersecurityย is the most relevant IT problem but a majority, albeit slight, feels confident of tackling it. Conversely, however, only 8% think theyโll be able to solve the IT talent problem. IT team skills development and talent retention are the next biggest issues facing CIOs in Italy, and only 24% and 9%, respectively, think they can successfully address it.
โTalents arenโt rare,โ says Cecilia Colasanti, CIO of Istat, the National Institute of Statistics. โTheyโre there but theyโre not valued. Thatโs why, more often, they prefer to go abroad. For me, talent is the right person in the right place. Managers, including CIOs, must have the ability to recognize talents, make them understand theyโve been identified, and enhance them with the right opportunities.โ
Colasanti has very clear ideas on how to manage her talents to create a cohesive and motivated group. โThe goal I set myself as CIO was to release increasingly high-quality products for statistical users, both internal and external,โ she says. โI want to be concrete and close the projects weโve opened, to ensure the institution continues to improve with the contribution of IT, which is a driver of statistical production. I have the task of improving the IT function, the quality of the products released, the relevance of the management, and the well-being of people.โ
Istatโs IT department currently has 195 people, and represents about 10% of the instituteโs entire staff. Colasantiโs first step after her CIO appointment in October 2023 was to personally meet with all the resources assigned to management for an interview.
โIโve been working at Istat since 2001 and almost everyone knows each other,โ she says. โIโve held various roles in the IT department, and in my latest role as CIO, I want to listen to everyone to gather every possible viewpoint. Because how well we know each other, I feel my colleagues have a high expectation of our work together. Thatโs why I try to establish a frank dialogue and avoid ambiguity. But I make it clear that listening doesnโt mean delegating responsibility. I accept some proposals, reject others, and try to justify choices.โ
Another move was to reinstate the two problems, two solutions initiative launched in Istat many years ago. Colasanti asked staff, on a voluntary basis, to identify two problems and propose two solutions. She then processed the material and shared the results in face-to-face meetings, commenting on the proposals, and evaluating those to be followed up.
โIโve been very vocal about this initiative,โ she says, โBut I also believe itโs been an effective way to cement the relationship of trust with my colleagues.โ
Some of the inquiries related to career opportunities and technical issues, but the most frequent pain points that emerged were internal communication and staff shortages. Colasanti spoke with everyone, clarifying which points she could or couldnโt act on. Career paths and hiring in the public sector, for example, follow precise procedures where little could be influenced.
โI tried to address all the issues from a proactive perspective,โ she says. โWhere I perceived a generic resistance to change rather than a specific problem, I tried to focus on intrinsic motivation and peopleโs commitment. Itโs important to explain the strategies of the institution and the role of each person to achieve objectives. After all, people need and have the right to know the context in which they operate, and be aware of how their work affects the bigger picture.โ
Engagement must be built day by day, so Colasanti regularly meets with staff including heads of department and service managers.
The case of Istat stands out for the size of its IT department, but in SMEs, IT functions can be just a handful of people, including the CIO, and much of the work is done by external consultants and suppliers. Itโs a structure that has to be worked with, dividing themselves between coordinating various resources across different projects, and the actual IT work. Outsourcing to the cloud is an additional support but CIOs would generally like to have more in-house expertise rather than depend on partners to control supplier products.
โAttracting and retaining talent is a problem, so things are outsourced,โ says the CIO of a small healthcare company with an IT team of three. โYou offload the responsibility and free up internal resources at the risk of losing know-how in the company. But at the moment, we have no other choice. We canโt offer the salaries of a large private group, and IT talent changes jobs every two years, so keeping people motivated is difficult. We hire a candidate, go through the training, and see them grow only to see them leave. But our sector is highly specialized and the necessary skills are rare.โ
The sirens of the market are tempting for those with the skills to command premium positioning, and the private sector is able to attract talent more easily than public due to its hiring flexibility and career paths.
โThe public sector offers the opportunity to research, explore and deepen issues that private companies often donโt invest in because they donโt see the profit,โ says Colasanti. โThe public has the good of the community as its mission and can afford long-term investments.โ
To meet demand, CIOs are prioritizing hiring new IT profiles and training their teams, according to the Cegos international barometer. Offering reskilling and upskilling are effective ways to overcome the pitfalls of talent acquisition and retention.
โThe market is competitive, so retaining talent requires barriers to exit,โ says Emanuela Pignataro, head of business transformation and execution at Cegos Italia. โIf an employer creates a stimulating and rewarding environment with sufficient benefits, people are less likely to seek other opportunities or get caught up in the competition. Many feel theyโre burdened with too many tasks they canโt cope with on their own, and these are people with the most valuable skills, but who often work without much support. So if the company spends on training or onboarding new people who support these people, they create reassurance, which generates loyalty.โ
In fact, Colasanti is a staunch supporter of life-long learning, and the experience that brings balance and management skills. But she doesnโt have a large budget for IT training, yet solutions in response to certain requests are within reach.
โIn these cases, I want serious commitment,โ she says. โThe institution invests and the course must give a result. A higher budget would be useful, of course, especially for an ever-evolving subject like cybersecurity.โ
CIOs also recognize the importance of following people closely, empowering them, and giving them a precise and relevant role that enhances motivation. Itโs also essential to collaborate with the HR function to develop tools for welfare and well-being.
According to the Gi Group study, the factors that IT candidates in Italy consider a priority when choosing an employer are, in descending order, salary, a hybrid job offer, work-life balance, the possibility of covering roles that donโt involve high stress levels, and opportunities for career advancement and professional growth.
But thereโs another aspect that helps solve the age-old issue of talent management. CIOs need to recognize more of the role of their leadership. At the moment, Italian IT directors place it at the bottom of their key qualities. In the Cegos study, technical expertise, strategic vision, and ability to innovate come first, while leadership came a distant second. But the leadership of the CIO is a founding basis, even when thereโs disagreement with choices.
โI believe in physical presence in the workplace,โ says Colasanti. โIstat has a long tradition of applying teleworking and implementing smart working, which everyone can access if they wish. Personally, I prefer to be in the office, but I respect the need to reconcile private life and work, and I have no objection to agile working. Iโm on site every day, though. My colleagues know Iโm here.โ
European exchange WhiteBIT announced the inclusion of its native token in major digital asset benchmarks by leading global provider of financial market indices, S&P Dow Jones Indices, marking a significant step for the platform and the regionโs crypto infrastructure sector.
On Thursday, top crypto exchange WhiteBIT announced that its token, WBT, has been added to the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market (BDM) Index, curated by S&P Dow Jones Indices (DJI).
The S&P BDM Indexย is designed to track the performance of crypto assets that meet strict institutional criteria, including liquidity, market capitalization, governance, transparency, and risk controls, and are listed on recognized open digital exchanges.
This marks an important milestone for both WhiteBIT and the broader fintech landscape in Central and Eastern Europe, the exchange noted, as it reinforces โthe platformโs growing role in the global crypto economyโ and highlights the industryโs move toward regulated, infrastructure-level players.
In a statement, Volodymyr Nosov, CEO of WhiteBIT, affirmed that โbeing recognized by S&P DJI is more than an index inclusion โ it signals that crypto infrastructure from our region has reached global institutional standards.โ
The announcement also revealed that WBT was added to the other four S&P Dow Jones digital-asset indices, including the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Asset (BDA) Index, S&P Cryptocurrency Financials Index, S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Ex-MegaCap Index, and the S&P Cryptocurrency LargeCap Index.
Notably, index providers have been expanding coverage beyond protocol-layer tokens as the industry matures, acknowledging the systemic role of exchanges and financial infrastructure platforms, positioning these companies within the global map of institutional-grade digital asset providers.
The exchange underscored that the classifications require a remarkable record of liquidity stability, transparent price formation, and consistent market cap behavior. โThis is a turning point not only for our company but also for the evolution of compliant crypto services worldwide,โ Nosov continued.
The S&P index inclusions follow a strong market performance from WBT, which rallied around 50% over the last three months, despite recent market volatility that sent many leading tokens to multi-month lows in the past few weeks.
In mid-November, the altcoin reached an all-time high (ATH) of $62.96, fueled by last monthโs positive developments. As reported by Bitcoinist, WhiteBIT unveiled its entry into the Argentine and Brazilian markets, building on its expansion to Australia, Croatia, Italy, andย Kazakhstan.
The move is expected to integrate local fiat providers and add support for local currencies, aiming to further enhance accessibility and convenience for domestic users in the two largest countries in South America.
Moreover, the exchange signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Durrah AlFodah Holding, represented by His Royal Highness Prince Naif Bin Abdullah Bin Saud Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to drive the Kingdomโs development in blockchain technology, digital finance, and data infrastructure.
Under the strategic agreement, WhiteBIT is set to provide technological expertise and infrastructure design. Meanwhile, Durrah AlFodah will facilitate the exchangeโs market entry, regulatory engagement, and partnership development across Saudi Arabia.
Now, being part of S&Pโs indices offers WBT a clear benchmark, the announcement added, facilitating its use in future financial products and long-term investment strategies.
This expanded representation marks an important shift for WBT: from a utility token into a component integrated into global benchmark structures used by investment firms, ETF/ETN designers, and quantitative research platforms. Its presence in multiple institutional models means that WBT is now incorporated into the analytical frameworks that guide long-term allocation strategies, diversified exposure construction, and risk-adjusted portfolio modelling.
In the late hours of December 3, WBT rallied to a new ATH of $63.05 before stabilizing around the $62 mark, according to CoinGecko data. This represents a 14.5% increase from the recent lows and a 9% surge in the weekly timeframe.
The Department of Health and Human Services is setting new restrictions on telework as a reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities.
A new, departmentwide reasonable accommodation policy shared with employees this week states that all requests for telework, remote work, or reassignment must be reviewed and approved by an assistant secretary or a higher-level official โ a decision that is likely to slow the approval process.
The new policy, as Federal News Network reported on Monday, generally restricts employees from using telework as an โinterim accommodation,โ while the agency processes their reasonable accommodation request.
โTelework is not appropriate for an interim accommodation, unless approved at the assistant secretary level or above,โ the new policy states.
The updated reasonable accommodation policy, signed on Sept. 15 by HHS Chief Human Capital Officer and Deputy Assistant Secretary Thomas Nagy, Jr., replaces a more than decade-old policy, and applies to all HHS component agencies.
โThis policy is effective immediately and must be followed by HHS component in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and departmental policy,โ the policy states.
Itโs not clear how long it will take HHS to review each individual reasonable accommodation request. But HHS, which now handles all reasonable accommodation requests from its component agencies, faces a backlog of more than 3,000 cases โ which it expects will take six to eight months to complete.
The new policy allows frontline supervisors to grant โsimple, obvious requestsโ without consulting with an HHS reasonable accommodation coordinator, but prohibits them from granting telework or remote work.
โTelework and reassignment are not simple, obvious requests,โ the policy states.
The policy also directs HHS to collect data on the โnumber of requests that involve telework or remote work, in whole or in part.โ
A memo from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that โall telework related to RAs will be repealed,โ and that CDC leadership will no longer be allowed to approve telework as an interim accommodation.
โStaff currently on an agreement will need to report back to the worksite,โ the memo states.
The CDC memo states employees can still request telework as a reasonable accommodation, but โuntil they are reviewed and approved by HHS they must report to the worksite.โ
It also states that employees can request what was previously known as โmedical telework,โ which can be approved by the CDC chief operating officer for around six months in length.
According to the memo, CDC can temporarily grant medical telework to employees who are dealing with recovering from chemotherapy, hip replacement surgery or pregnancy complications.
If HHS rejects a reasonable accommodation, the CDC memo states an employee can challenge the decision before an appeal board. The CDC, however, expects that appeal will โalso take months to process,โ and that employees must continue to work from the office while the appeal is pending.
โWe know this is going to be tough, especially on front-line supervisors,โ the CDC memo states.
HHS Press Secretary Emily Hilliard said in a statement that the new reasonable accommodation policy โestablishes department-wide procedures to ensure consistency with federal law.โ
โInterim accommodations may be provided while cases move through the reasonable-accommodation process toward a final determination. The department remains committed to processing these requests as quickly as possible,โ Hilliard said.
Jodi Hershey, a former FEMA reasonable accommodation specialistย and the founder of EASE, LLC, a firm that helps employers and employees navigate workplace accessibility issues, said the new policy suggests HHS is โplaying fast and loose with the Rehabilitation Act, and whatโs required of themโ under the legislation.
โThis is the most inefficient way to handle reasonable accommodations possible. By centralizing reasonable accommodation-deciding officials, youโre removing the decision from the person who knows the most about the job. The immediate supervisor or manager knows what the job is, how the job is normally performed. They know the employee. When you remove that level of familiarity from the process, and you move it up the chain โฆ that person has no idea what the job even is. They donโt know the person that theyโre dealing with. They donโt know the office. They donโt know the particulars at all,โ Hershey said.
In a message obtained by Federal News Network, Cheryl Prigodich, principal deputy director for the CDCโs Office of Safety, Security and Asset Management, told an HHS employee that because their one-year reasonable accommodation had expired, they needed to submit a new request for approval.
โThe timeframe for approval on your request is not known at this time. In the interim, however, we are not allowed to approve telework as an interim accommodation for a reasonable accommodation,โ Prigodich said.
Prigodich told the employee that, according to HHS, employees must either use annual leave, 80 hours of annual ad hoc telework available to each HHS employee, take leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act or report to the workplace โwith the possibility of another acceptable accommodation (work tour, physical modifications to the workplace, etc).โ
Prigodich directed the employee to submit their request to renew their reasonable accommodation request to the HHS assistant secretary for administration, but recommended that they โefficiently summarize your concern and request (with appropriate documentation) into no greater than a single-page memo.โ
โThe ASA will not want to comb through previous emails or too many attachments,โ Prigodich said.
The one-page request, she added, should include โwhy no other alternative accommodation will work,โ documentation of the disability, and records showing the previously approved reasonable accommodation.
โI know this is frustrating. We are certainly frustrated too โ and this represents a significant policy change for a great number of people who rely on this type of accommodation for their personal health and needs,โ Prigodich said.
The post CDC tells staff telework reasonable accommodations โwill be repealed,โ as HHS sets stricter rules first appeared on Federal News Network.

When it announced the latest series of Kindle Scribe writing tablets in October, Amazon didnโt have a specific release date to share beyond โlater this year.โ And now that weโre approaching the final weeks of 2025, the company is meeting its own deadline by sharing that it will be available on December 10. That detail is now posted on the Amazon product page for the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, if youโd like to see the date for yourself.
As a refresher, this is the third generation of the Kindle Scribe line of E Ink writing tablets. This year was the first time Amazon made three different versions of the Scribe, turning it into a series of products. At the entry-level, the Scribe without a front light will start at $430, while the model with a front light starts at $480. The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, which, as it name suggests, can render colors, will start at $630.
All three flavors will feature the updated hardware and design thatโs a bit more symmetrical than previous generations, which had a thicker bezel on one side. Theyโre also thinner than older Scribes and come with redesigned Kindle software that can help make note-taking a bit more efficient. Based on my hands-on with the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, it also seemed to render colors more vividly than competing devices like the reMarkable Paper Pro, though Iโll definitely need to get a review unit in for better comparison.
For now, check out our hands on of the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and review of the reMarkable Paper Pro and even of the last-gen Kindle Scribe to see if this is something you might want. While December 10 is cutting it pretty close to the holiday gifting season, itโs still weeks ahead of Christmas, so it might still be worth keeping an eye on.

Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation are raising the alarm over the deadly impacts of international funding cuts in global health. Slashed budgets are projected to reverse decades of progress, causing the number of children dying before their fifth birthday to rise for the first time this century. An estimated 4.8 million children are expected to die this year, an increase of 200,000 deaths compared to last year.
โThat is something that we hope never to report on, but it is a sad fact. And there are many causes, but clearly one of the key causes has been significant cuts in international development assistance from a number of high-income countries,โ said Mark Suzman, CEO of the Gates Foundation, in a briefing with media this week.
Suzman specifically called out the U.S., the United Kingdom, France and Germany for โmaking significant cutsโ to their support. Internationally, funding plunged 26.9% below last yearโs levels, according to the philanthropy.
The Gates Foundation today released its annual Goalkeepers Report, which tracks progress on measures including poverty, hunger, access to clean water and energy, environmental benchmarks and other metrics.
The Seattle-based foundation worked with the University of Washingtonโs Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation to model the effects of reduced assistance. The researchers found that if the cuts to aid persist or worsen, an additional 12 million to 16 million children could die over the next 20 years.
While offering dire projections, the document aims to be a call to action for governments and philanthropists large and small.
โThis report is a roadmap to progress,โ Gates writes, โwhere smart spending meets innovation at scale.โ
The billionaire Microsoft co-founder calls out some specific areas that could yield the most benefit, including primary healthcare, routine immunizations, the development of improved vaccines and new uses of data.
Modeling in the report predicts that by 2045, better vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and pneumonia could save 3.4 million children, while new malaria tools could save an additional 5.7 million kids. Shots of lenacapavir could successfully prevent and treat HIV.
The foundation calls attention to the life-saving benefits of vaccinations as the U.S. Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to undercut public support of vaccines.
With the backdrop of reduced federal funding for global humanitarian causes and backpedaling on vaccinations, Gates earlier this year announced plans to give away $200 billion โ including nearly all of his wealth โ over the next two decades through the Gates Foundation.
The Seattle-based organization, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, will sunset its operations on Dec. 31, 2045. The philanthropy is the worldโs largest and has already disbursed $100 billion since its founding.
โIf we do more with less now โ and get back to a world where thereโs more resources to devote to childrenโs health โ then in 20 years, weโll be able to tell a different kind of story,โ Gates writes in the report. โThe story of how we helped more kids survive childbirth, and childhood.โ
Interview transcript:ย
Terry Gerton Virginia Tech has just launched a generative AI training program. Tell us about what the program is and why you decided to start it now.
Jamie Cogbill Okay, great. Well, this partnership between Virginia Tech and Amazon Web Services is really about preparing the next generation of national security leaders for an AI-driven world. As one of our nationโs six senior military colleges, Virginia Tech has had the chance to pilot AWSโs new generative AI training, which is the first of its kind, before itโs rolled out to nationwide, or at least to the other senior military colleges. It directly supports the recent White House call to make senior military colleges hubs of AI research and talent development. And our cadets are already finding it incredibly valuable training as they prepare to lead in a defense environment thatโs rapidly being transformed by artificial intelligence.
Terry Gerton Thereโs a lot of AI courses out there. What sets this collaboration apart? Whatโs unique in terms of content or focus or tools?
Jamie Cogbill Okay. Well, this is the first generative AI training program of its kind offered specifically at senior military colleges. And it directly supports the recent White House AI Action Plan, which was released last July, which calls on senior military colleges to become hubs of AI talent and innovation. And our cadets are getting hands-on experience with the same AI tools and problem solving approaches that are being used in real defense and intelligence missions.
Terry Gerton You mentioned cadets a couple of times here. For folks who may not know that Virginia Tech has a Corps of Cadets, tell us a little bit about that and how many cadets are actually taking the course.
Jamie Cogbill Okay. So yes, Virginia Tech is, as I mentioned, is one of six senior military colleges, which means that they have a Corps of Cadets, just like Virginia Military Institute or the Citadel, or our closest comparison is Texas A&M. Thereโs currently close to 1,400 cadets in the Corps of Cadets at Virginia Tech. But for this first pilot, it was offered to a total of about 75 students, and the intent was that at least half of them be cadets. And in this case, it was. We had about 38 total cadets that participated in the program.
Terry Gerton And who filled the other seats?
Jamie Cogbill The other seats were mostly people who are affiliated with Virginia Techโs National Security Institute, which is a hub for defense-related research, but also for preparing future national security leaders here at Virginia Tech. And so the advertisement went out to both cadets and to the students who are affiliated with the Virginia Techโs National Security Institute.
Terry Gerton It sounds like you didnโt have any trouble filling the seats. What does that tell you about the interest in this topic from future military and civilian defense leaders?
Jamie Cogbill Thereโs definitely a huge interest and our cadets who I talked to after the training just found it to be very valuable for them with just learning about AI in general, because they know itโs going to be an important part of their future careers, but also learning how to use it more effectively through effective prompt engineering and other methods that they learned throughout the training.
Terry Gerton Talk to us about some of the specific defense AI applications that youโre covering in this course. We all think about Chat GPT and Copilot, but how are those topics specifically coming across in defense-related issues?
Jamie Cogbill Thatโs a great question. And I donโt know the exact answer to that, but I can say that itโs teaching the core Amazon Gen AI services, which is something they call Amazon Bedrock, which Department of Defense has partnered with Amazon Web Services in a lot of ways, so itโs likely already using some of these AWS services. And so some of the people who are participating in the training will likely go into defense- or national security-related careers and already be expected to use or quickly learn how to use AWS software and AI tools. But I think the big takeaway is just learning AI in general, which is clearly going to be part of their future in national security and defense.
Terry Gerton Iโm speaking with Jamie Cogbill. Heโs the deputy director of the Defense Civilian Training Corps at Virginia Techโs National Security Institute. Well, we talk a lot about AI on this program and all of its different applications. One thing we do know about it is itโs powerful but itโs also risky. So in this kind of training, how are you preparing students not just to use the tools, but to really lead responsibly with AI when the risks could be pretty high?
Jamie Cogbill I donโt have specifics about how this training addressed those kind of risks. I havenโt taken the course myself. It was Amazon Web Services who provided it. Talking to my cadets, I think it was a pretty intense curriculum. They did have two different instructor-led sessions, both four hour sessions, and each session was about three hours of content and an hour lab. And then they had a final competitive kind of gamified lab at the end. It was another four hour session where they practiced with real world challenges and in using AI. So I would assume that some of the training in the instructor-led portions was related to the risks of using AI, how to avoid hallucinations that AI can provide. And but also, in the Department of Defense, a key thing is ensuring the use of responsible AI, or RAI as they call it. And so I imagine that was also covered in the curriculum.
Terry Gerton This is cohort one this fall, first time youโve rolled out the course. What do you think happens next? Where does it go from here?
Jamie Cogbill So weโre hoping that, and this is partially up to Amazon Web Services, but AWS is actively exploring how to scale the program for our spring semester here at Virginia Tech, potentially bringing it back in the spring, but also for 2026 in general. AWS originally intended to expand this training to all six senior military colleges across the country. And I think the success here at Virginia Tech with the pilot proved that our cadets and probably other cadets across the nation are eager to learn and ready to lead in the AI space. And weโre hoping that it set the standard for what other programs could look like.
Terry Gerton Well, always in a pilot there are lots of lessons learned in the process. What do you at Virginia Tech and Amazon take away in terms of needing to improve or broaden the program as you tried it out?
Jamie Cogbill Well, I think as you mentioned earlier, I think the demand is there. So if we can scale it up even here at Virginia Tech and and offer it to more than just 75 cadets and students. But I think that the big takeaway is really that partnerships like this are essential. And AI is changing the nature of national security. And we need to ensure our future military and civilian leaders can lead confidently in that environment. And I think this program shows how academia, industry and government can come together to make that happen.
Terry Gerton AI is such a fast changing space. How do you imagine that the curriculum might have to adjust even from one semester to the next just to stay current?
Jamie Cogbill Absolutely. And Iโm sure the folks at AWS are right there on the cusp of all that change. And so my guess is that they are constantly updating their curriculum to keep pace with that.
Terry Gerton Are you hearing from senior leaders in the Department of Defense about how they view the program and what their hopes for it are?
Jamie Cogbill So far, no, not directly. My guess is at the senior levels at AWS, they are talking to senior leaders in the Department of Defense and potentially at the most senior levels of our government, since it was a key goal of the White House AI Action Plan to offer this type of training.

David Bakerโs lab at the University of Washington is announcing two major leaps in the field of AI-powered protein design. The first is a souped-up version of its existing RFdiffusion2 tool that can now design enzymes with performance nearly on par with those found in nature. The second is the release of a new, general-purpose version of its model, named RFdiffusion3, which the researchers are calling their most powerful and versatile protein engineering technology to date.
Last year, Baker received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work in protein science, which includes a deep-learning model called RFdiffusion. The tool allows scientists to design novel proteins that have never existed. These machine-made proteins hold immense promise, from developing medicines for previously untreatable diseases to solving knotty environmental challenges.
Baker leads the UWโs Institute for Protein Design, which released the first version of the core technology in 2023, followed by RFdiffusion2 earlier this year. The second model was fine-tuned for creating enzymes โ proteins that orchestrate the transformation of molecules and dramatically speed up chemical reactions.
The latest accomplishments are being shared today in publications in the leading scientific journals Nature and Nature Methods, as well as a preprint last month on bioRxiv.
In the improved version of RFdiffusion2, the researchers took a more hands-off approach to guiding the technology, giving it a specific enzymatic task to perform but not specifying other features. Or as the team described it in a press release, the tool produces โblueprints for physical nanomachines that must obey the laws of chemistry and physics to function.โ
โYou basically let the model have all this space to explore and โฆ you really allow it to search a really wide space and come up with great, great solutions,โ said Seth Woodbury, a graduate student in Bakerโs lab and author on both papers publishing today.
In addition to UW scientists, researchers from MIT and Switzerlandโs ETH Zurich contributed to the work.
The new approach is remarkable for quickly generating higher-performing enzymes. In a test of the tool, it was able to solve 41 out of 41 difficult enzyme design challenges, compared to only 16 for the previous version.
โWhen we designed enzymes, theyโre always an order of magnitude worse than native enzymes that evolution has taken billions of years to find,โ said Rohith Krishna, a postdoctoral fellow and lead developer of RFdiffusion2. โThis is one of the first times that weโre not one of the best enzymes ever, but weโre in the ballpark of native enzymes.โ
The researchers successfully used the model to create proteins calls metallohydrolases, which accelerate difficult reactions using a precisely positioned metal ion and an activated water molecule. The engineered enzymes could have important applications, including the destruction of pollutants.
The promise of rapidly designed catalytic enzymes could unleash wide-ranging applications, Baker said.
โThe first problem we really tackled with AI, it was largely therapeutics, making binders to drug targets,โ he said. โBut now with catalysis, it really opens up sustainability.โ
The researchers are also working with the Gates Foundation to figure out lower-cost ways to build what are known as small molecule drugs, which interact with proteins and enzymes inside cells, often by blocking or enhancing their function to effect biological processes.
While RFdiffusion2 is fine-tuned to make enzymes, the Institute for Protein Design researchers were also eager to build a tool with wide-ranging functionality. RFdiffusion3 is that new AI model. It can create proteins that interact with virtually every type of molecule found in cells, including the ability to bind DNA, other proteins and small molecules, in addition to enzyme-related functions.
โWe really are excited about building more and more complex systems, so we didnโt want to have bespoke models for each application. We wanted to be able to combine everything into one foundational model,โ said Krishna, a lead developer of RFdiffusion3.
Today the team is publicly releasing the code for the new machine learning tool.
โWeโre really excited to see what everyone else builds on it,โ Krishna said.
And while the steady stream of model upgrades, breakthroughs and publications in top-notch journals seems to continue unabated from the Institute for Protein Design, there are plenty of behind-the-scenes stumbles, Baker said.
โIt all sounds beautiful and simple at the end when itโs done,โ he said. โBut along the way, thereโs always the moments when it seems like it wonโt work.โ
But the researchers keep at it, and so far at least, they keep finding a path forward. And the institute continues minting new graduates and further training postdocs who go on to launch companies or establish their own academic labs.
โI donโt surf, but I sort of feel like weโre riding a wave and itโs just fun,โ Baker said. โI mean, itโs so many, so many problems are getting solved. And yeah, itโs really exhilarating, honestly.โ
