More incidents doesn't mean less reliability - and measuring it wrong will make your systems worse
An InfoQ analysis challenges the reflex to treat incident count as a reliability proxy. The teams with the best uptime often have the highest incident frequency—because they're counting the things that matter.

Model drift in high-stakes workflows: one startup is solving the problem ops teams actually face
A startup targeting AI model drift in production has a simple premise: models change, workflows break, and no one finds out until something goes wrong. It's a maintenance problem the current toolchain doesn't address.

China's optical modules and domestic AI chips: building the sovereign compute stack from the bottom up
China's optical module manufacturers and PCB producers are reporting strong demand as domestic AI chip clusters scale up. It's the unglamorous infrastructure layer that makes Huawei Ascend clusters viable without Nvidia—and the supply chain is materializing.
