Mindbreeze InSpire Reduces Token Maxxing, Turning Runaway AI Costs Into Predictable Enterprise Value28.7.2026 16:03:00 EEST | Press release
Mindbreeze, a leading global provider of AI-based knowledge management solutions, today announced that Mindbreeze InSpire reduces token maxxing, the costly overconsumption of large language model (LLM) tokens that is straining enterprise AI budgets. By retrieving only the most relevant, grounded content and passing it to LLMs with precision, Mindbreeze InSpire lowers the tokens required per answer while improving accuracy, giving enterprises a path to scalable AI with predictable economics. Token maxxing has become one of the most underestimated risks in enterprise AI. As organizations connect generative AI to their data, many default to injecting large volumes of undifferentiated context into every prompt, repeatedly, across thousands of queries. Industry analysis has warned that tokens are becoming the true unit of AI cost, with usage-driven and nonlinear spending that is difficult to forecast and quick to erode margins. The problem is rarely the model. It is what the model is asked
Uptime Institute 16 th Annual 2026 Global Data Center Survey: Deployment of High Density Racks Rising Fast, Operators Face Continued Recruiting and Retention Pressures28.7.2026 16:02:00 EEST | Press release
Uptime Institute today released the findings of its 16th Annual Global Data Center Survey, the most comprehensive study of the digital infrastructure sector. The 2026 results reveal an industry navigating workforce constraints, escalating outage expenses, even as rising costs remain the top concern for management teams. Financial Pressure and Resource Constraints Intensify: While high costs continue to be a primary concern for data center leaders, the 2026 survey also highlights escalating concerns over capacity forecasting, power availability, and supply chain disruptions. Power efficiency gains remain gradual. The industry saw minor improvements in average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) levels this year. While newer facilities may boast highly efficient designs, overall global progress is slowed by legacy infrastructure. The AI and Density Reality Check: Despite market enthusiasm for Artificial Intelligence, expectations for AI in data center operations cooled slightly in 2026. Oper
Torq Unveils the SOC Brain: The AI SOC That Learns, Not Just Remembers28.7.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Torq, the established agentic security operations leader, today introduced Torq SOC Brain™, a new layer of the Torq AI SOC Platform that continuously learns from historical investigations, analyst decisions, and organization-specific security operations to create a unified, self-learning AI SOC. While most autonomous investigation systems claim to be self-learning, they are, in reality, memory systems—they simply retrieve past cases and pass them to a language model at decision time. Torq SOC Brain is fundamentally different. It reasons from precedent, adapts to how each SOC evaluates risk, and continuously refines its judgment with every completed investigation. The result is an AI SOC that grows more accurate over time—not a thin wrapper around a generic AI model. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260728408536/en/ Torq SOC Brain demos are available for qualified Black Hat USA 2026 attendees at the Torq booth a
