Nvidia says that AI service providers are achieving up to a tenfold reduction in cost per token when running generative models by using the Blackwell platform together with open-source models. With this infrastructure setup, the cost of deploying AI becomes more predictable and economical, which could accelerate the adoption of AI tools across many industries.

Microsoft has released a new set of security updates for Windows 10 that fixes 58 software vulnerabilities, including six critical zero-day flaws — meaning vulnerabilities that were actively exploited in attacks before the patches became available. The update is already available, and security specialists stress that installing it as soon as possible is essential to protect computers against system takeover, privilege escalation and other cyber threats.

Ukrainian engineers have developed and tested a new laser-based counter-drone system known as Sunray, which is intended to provide an effective response to small unmanned aerial threats at a much lower cost than comparable Western systems. Work on the solution has been under way for several years and forms part of a broader wave of innovation in Ukraine’s air-defence capabilities.

Following a wave of criticism over its planned mandatory age-verification system, Discord has softened its messaging and stressed that most users will not be required to submit a face scan or an identity document. At the same time, interest in alternative messaging platforms is surging — searches for phrases such as “Discord alternatives” have reportedly jumped by as much as 10,000%.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has refused to begin a formal review of Moderna’s application for approval of a new mRNA-based influenza vaccine, triggering a sharp drop in the company’s share price and reigniting criticism of the direction of U.S. vaccination policy.

Popular communications platform Discord has announced that starting in March 2026 it will roll out a mandatory age-verification system worldwide, aimed at restricting access to channels and content intended for adult users. The decision has already triggered backlash from the community — largely because of a previous leak of identity document images affecting around 70,000 users that were collected for verification purposes.

Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk has filed a lawsuit against U.S.-based Hims & Hers Health for patent infringement, linked to the company’s attempt to bring to market a cheaper, compounded version of a semaglutide-based weight-loss pill — the key active ingredient in blockbuster products such as Wegovy and Ozempic.

We have launched a new feature on 2digital.news – HealthTech Conferences Calendar – All-Year List, a dedicated page designed to help professionals quickly track the most important health tech, digital health and health IT events around the world in one place.

SpaceX is changing the order of its long-term exploration goals and will focus first on building permanent infrastructure on the Moon, postponing its ambitions for Mars to a later stage. The new direction was publicly confirmed by Elon Musk, who explained that the Moon offers a realistic chance to build a self-sustaining base much faster than Mars.

A new online platform, RentAHuman.ai, allows autonomous artificial-intelligence agents to recruit real people to carry out tasks that AI cannot perform on its own — from simple shopping and parcel collection to unusual requests and activities in the physical world. The service, which has already attracted tens of thousands of people willing to work, may signal a new stage in human–AI interaction.
