CloudZero Launches Claude Code Plugin To Bring Cost Intelligence Into Engineering Workflows

Today we’re announcing the CloudZero Claude Code Plugin, a new capability that puts CloudZero’s full cost intelligence model directly inside Claude Code, where engineers and technical FinOps practitioners already work. The plugin connects a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and nine pre-packaged investigation skills to CloudZero’s cost data, covering cloud and AI spend across AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, MongoDB, OpenAI, Anthropic, and more.

Responsible transformation: Agentic AI for the public sector

The world is transforming, and artificial intelligence, especially agentic AI, is quickly becoming embedded across private and public sectors. For government agencies, law enforcement, and mission-critical organizations, embracing this new reality is uniquely challenging. On the one hand, agentic AI promises measurable improvements: modernized IT workflows, faster analysis, improved citizen services, and operational efficiency.

How AI Is Quietly Revolutionizing the Way the Legal World Write

There's a persistent image of the lawyer: brilliant, overworked, surrounded by mountains of paper, billing $800 an hour to draft language that hasn't meaningfully evolved since the 19th century. It's not entirely wrong. Legal writing is one of the most document-heavy, precision-demanding disciplines on earth. A misplaced comma in a contract has cost companies millions. A vague clause in a will has torn families apart.

How to Build a Clinic Incident Response Playbook

Building a clinic incident response playbook requires mapping out specific communication channels, downtime procedures, and recovery steps before a crisis occurs. This document serves as a survival manual for outpatient settings when electronic health records or internet connections fail. A routine clinic day can unravel quickly without these predefined protocols. When systems go down, staff members often struggle with duplicate efforts or missed safety checks. Transitioning from panic to a structured fallback plan ensures that patient care remains the priority during technical outages.

From Machine Setup to Final Inspection: Tools That Ensure High-Precision Manufacturing

High-precision manufacturing is not the result of a single step-it is the outcome of a controlled process that begins with proper machine setup and ends with thorough final inspection. Every stage in between plays a role in maintaining tight tolerances, consistent finishes, and repeatable results. CNC machines are capable of incredible accuracy, but that potential can only be realized when tooling, workholding, and inspection systems are aligned. From rigid toolholding systems to dependable measurement tools, each component supports dimensional integrity throughout the production cycle.

The Best A/V Production Companies in Denver, Colorado

Denver has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the most vibrant event cities in the American West. From world-class concert venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre to a booming corporate conference scene, the Mile High City demands A/V production talent that can keep pace. Whether you're planning a multi-day music festival, a nonprofit gala, or a high-stakes corporate keynote, finding the right audio-visual partner can make or break your event. To help you navigate the options, we've rounded up five of the best A/V production companies Denver has to offer.

Elephant in the Room, Episode 3: Building a CFP Review Platform with PostgreSQL & Django Live

In Episode 3 of Elephant in the Room, we move from discussion to delivery with a hands-on, live build of a real, community-focused application. Join Jay Miller, Abigail Mesrenyame Dogbe and Andres Pineda as they collaboratively design and build a CFP (Call for Proposals) review platform using PostgreSQL and Django. The aim: create a practical tool that helps speakers receive better feedback and helps organisers discover new and diverse voices.

Cloud-native Android infotainment: your CI pipeline shouldn't depend on hardware

More and more often, infotainment systems are being developed and delivered like software, yet often they are still tested and validated using hardware-centric processes. This is far from ideal: access to devices is limited, environments are difficult to reproduce, and iteration slows down as soon as multiple teams need to work in parallel. These challenges become even more visible as cockpit systems move toward wide displays and high resolutions.

Why we open-sourced AURA: Infrastructure for production AI

Over the last year, I’ve talked to dozens of SRE teams about AI. The excitement is real, but conversations hit a wall when we get to production reality. How does an agent manage complex context without losing the plot? How does it avoid hallucinating relationships between signals? Who owns the orchestration logic that ties it all together? We realized the bottleneck wasn’t model intelligence. It was the lack of a reliable logic layer between the data and the model.

The Tide of AI - Surfing the Tsunami of Binaries

AI is creating an overwhelming surge of digital artifacts and software components. The key to success is learning how to ride, secure, govern, and manage that wave – rather than being overwhelmed by it. This weekend, I asked my team to watch Chasing Mavericks. Jay Moriarity (not J-Frog, but stay with me) was one of the most driven and determined surfers imaginable. His courage and spirit were extraordinary. But those virtues were shaped and refined by his mentor, Frosty Hesson.
