CISE invites you to attend an information meeting and webinar to announce and answer questions concerning its recently released solicitation, Future Internet Architecture-Next Phase (FIA-NP: NSF 13-538) on Monday, February 11, 2013, 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EDT. You must register at https://mmancusa.webex.com/mmancusa/j.php?ED=200243927&RG=1&... to participate.
CISE plans to support research that builds upon its current investments in Future Internet Architectures (FIA) with the Future Internet Architecture-Next Phase (FIA-NP) solicitation. Proposals are expected to specify research activities that will take existing FIA designs from basic components that have been integrated into early prototypes that demonstrate architectural principles and requirements to more sophisticated architectures with demonstrated prototype systems.
The FIA-NP information meeting will be held February 11, 2013, 1:00PM - 2:30PM EST (10:00 - 11:30 PST)
You may attend the informational meeting either on site or via live webinar.
On site: Please come to room 110 at the National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA. No badges are needed to attend on site.
Live Webinar: Please register to attend the informational meeting via webinar using the link provided below. After your registration is accepted, you will get an email with a URL to join the meeting. Please be sure to join a few minutes before the start of the webinar.

In a surprising move, AWS and Google Cloud have recently partnered to simplify multicloud networking, introducing a common standard and leveraging "AWS Interconnect - Multicloud" and "Google Cloud's Cross-Cloud Interconnect". The new option makes it easier for organizations to manage and secure workloads across both clouds, with Azure expected to join in 2026.

Kagi has released Orion 1.0, a web browser that features privacy by default, zero telemetry, and no integrated ad-tracking technology. Orion supports both Chrome and Firefox extensions and intentionally excludes AI from its core to prioritize security, privacy, and performance. Orion targets macOS and iOS, with upcoming Linux and Windows versions. Orion is based on WebKit.

Cactus, a Y Combinator-backed startup, enables local AI inference to mobile phones, wearables, and other low-power devices through cross-platform, energy-efficient kernels and a native runtime. It delivers sub-50ms time-to-first-token for on-device inference, eliminates network latency, and defaults to complete privacy.

Jade Abbott discusses the shift from massive, resource-heavy models to "Little LMs" that prioritize efficiency and cultural sustainability. She explains how techniques like LoRA, quantization, and GRPO allow for high performance with less compute. By sharing the "Ubuntu Punk" philosophy, she shares how to move beyond extractive data practices toward human-centric, sustainable AI systems.
