OVHcloud Raises Prices as AI Memory Demand Reprices Non-AI Infrastructure
OVHcloud will raise prices from September, with 2026-edition gaming servers up 87 percent and other recent servers 40 to 59 percent. Founder Octave Klaba says memory cost six times more in June than a year earlier, as RAM suppliers shifted capacity toward high-bandwidth memory for AI. AWS, buying years ahead, has repriced one reserved GPU product.

DRAM Controller Register Manipulation Breaks CPU Memory Isolation
Security researcher Christopher Domas developed skitter-creek-bath-salts, an open-source hardware security tool that disrupts CPU privilege boundaries by manipulating memory controller translation registers. This allows unprivileged software to access protected memory regions, revealing a vulnerability in modern processor architectures that could affect cloud and confidential computing security.

AI Code Review at Scale: LinkedIn's Multi-Agent Approach
At LinkedIn's scale, relying solely on human reviewers or simply putting an off-the-shelf AI reviewer in front of GitHub is not an effective way to manage PRs. To address this, LinkedIn engineers built a multi-agent AI code review platform that understands the organization's coding context, treats code review as production infrastructure, and minimizes hallucinations and low-signal feedback.
