These are the hottest Prime Day deals on our favorite TVs and streaming devices.

There’s no better time to get a Kindle than during Amazon's own sale event.

From MacBooks to gaming laptops, these are the very best deals on some of my very favorite laptops for Amazon Prime Day.

Times are hard in 2026. These Amazon Prime Day deals under $100 on earbuds, Kindles, and more make life just a little bit easier.

We've gone from A to Z to find Amazon's best Prime Day deals on the gear worth owning.

Amazon is planning to increase the footprint of its new conversational AI assistant Alexa+ to India and is inviting users in the country to test out a Hindi-language version.

Two years after it turned Marg Monday into a daily, the Ninja Slushi is only $200. That’s the cheapest deal ever.

We’ve trawled the depths of Amazon to find the best early Prime Day deals on gear we’ve tested.

Using Claude Fable 5 or Mythos 5 on Amazon Bedrock requires opting into provider_data_share, sending prompts and outputs to Anthropic for 30-day retention with human review. Previous Bedrock models kept inference data inside the AWS boundary. Three days after launch, Anthropic asked AWS to revoke access to both models citing US export control compliance.

When it comes to our deepest thoughts, secrets, and mental health struggles, "the cloud" can feel like a very crowded place. In an era where data privacy is paramount, sending your private journal entries to a central server for analysis feels... risky. But what if you could have the power of a world-class LLM like Llama 3 running entirely on your MacBook? Thanks to the Apple MLX framework, local LLM execution is no longer a pipe dream—it’s a high-performance reality. By leveraging privacy-preserving AI and advanced Llama 3 quantization , we can build a personal mental health assistant that provides Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) insights without a single byte ever leaving your machine. 🚀 Why Apple MLX? 🍏 Apple's MLX is an array framework designed specifically for machine learning on Apple Silicon. It’s essentially "NumPy meets PyTorch," but optimized to squeeze every drop of power out of your M1/M2/M3 chip's Unified Memory Architecture. The Architecture: 100% Local Data Flow Here is how our private assistant handles your data. Notice the absence of any "External API" or "Cloud Storage" blocks: graph TD A[User Private Journal Entry] --> B{Local Python App} B --> C[Apple MLX Framework] C --> D[Quantized Llama 3 - 4bit/8bit] D --> E[CBT Sentiment Analysis] E --> F[Empathetic CBT Feedback] F --> B B --> G[Local Encrypted Storage] subgraph MacBook Pro / Air C D E end Prerequisites 🛠️ To follow this advanced guide, you’ll need: An Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3 series). Python 3.10+ . mlx-lm : The high-level library for running LLMs with MLX. Step 1: Setting Up the Environment First, let's create a virtual environment and install our dependencies. We are using mlx-lm because it handles the complexities of quantization and model loading seamlessly. mkdir private-mental-health-ai && cd private-mental-health-ai python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install mlx-lm huggingface_hub Step 2: Downloading & Quantizing Llama 3 Llama 3 8B is a powerhouse, but it's a bi

Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman biopic has to find a new studio after Amazon dropped it.

The engineers who spoke negatively about AI data centers at Seattle city hearings accuse Amazon of threatening their jobs over their testimonies.

AWS is in talks to sell its chips to other data centers. CEO Andy Jassy has said this represents a $50 billion opportunity for the company.

“You would not believe the texts I got from these tech guys,” NYT reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan quote Donald Trump as telling associates in an upcoming book.

The software engineers filed a complaint with Seattle’s civil rights office accusing Amazon of illegally retaliating against them for expressing their personal political beliefs.

When three Amazon software engineers testified earlier this month at Seattle City Council hearings about data centers, they started their testimony by citing a city law barring employment discrimination over political speech. Now, they're accusing their employer of breaking that law by retaliating against them. On June 10th - one week after the hearing, and […]

Amazon Prime Day 2026 lifts off on June 23rd and will hopefully deliver the best deals of the summer. We’ve been covering the most notable pre-Prime Day discounts happening, and come next week, we’ll be bringing you many more deals — ones we can’t tell you about just yet. As usual, expect to see price […]

What flipped in b9437 Build b9437 , published on May 30, 2026 at 20:56 UTC , ships two targeted default-value corrections to llama-bench . Flash attention ( -fa ) shifts from a hard-coded off to auto ( LLAMA_FLASH_ATTN_TYPE_AUTO ), and the GPU-layer count ( -ngl ) changes from the legacy sentinel 99 to -1 . Both values now match what llama-server and llama-cli already used — the bench tool was simply never updated to track them until this build. Quick Answer: Before b9437 (published May 30, 2026) , llama-bench hard-coded -fa off , silently skipping flash attention even on CUDA, Metal, and Vulkan hardware. Build b9437 sets the default to -fa auto and -ngl -1 , matching llama-server and llama-cli . Any pre-b9437 baseline on FA-capable hardware needs a flag-matched re-run to remain valid. PR #23714 , reviewed and merged by maintainers JohannesGaessler and pwilkin, adds the same -fa auto|off|on tri-state flag to llama-bench that the rest of the toolchain already supported. With LLAMA_FLASH_ATTN_TYPE_AUTO as the new default, flash attention activates automatically when the runtime detects a capable backend (CUDA, Metal, Vulkan); on CPU-only hosts it stays off with no error and no output change. Parameter Before b9437 After b9437 Behavioral impact -fa off (hard-coded) auto ( LLAMA_FLASH_ATTN_TYPE_AUTO ) GPU-capable hosts bench with FA active by default; pre/post comparisons require explicit flag-matching -ngl 99 (offload-all sentinel) -1 (runtime decides) CPU-only builds no longer attempt full GPU offload; eliminates spurious CUDA errors when no GPU is present The following verified script (executed successfully, exit 0) demonstrates the behavioral gap in concrete terms — on a capable GPU, the pre-b9437 defaults schedule zero FA rows while b9437 defaults schedule one: def old_llama_bench ( device ): # Before b9437, the default bench matrix used FA=0, so FA rows were skipped. return [{ " device " : device [ " name " ], " ngl " : 0 , " fa " : 0 }] def b9437_llama_bench ( de
