The AI market growth, valued at $196.63 billion in 2023 and projected to hit $1,811.75 billion by 2030, underscores the need for scalable, secure infrastructure. Centralized cloud services, dominated by giants like AWS and Google Cloud, have been the backbone of AI development, offering computational power and storage. However, they introduce risks such as data monopolies, where a few entities control vast datasets, and vulnerabilities to cyberattacks due to single points of failure. Decentralized AI, operating on distributed networks, aims to address these issues by distributing data and computation across multiple nodes, enhancing privacy, security, and accessibility. Decentralized AI refers…
Last year, Apple debuted a similar scheme, known as Private Cloud Compute, for its Apple Intelligence AI platform. And users can turn the service on in Apple’s end-to-end encrypted communication app, Messages, to generate message summaries and compose “Smart Reply” messages on both iPhones and Macs.Looking at Private Cloud Compute and Private Processing side by side is like comparing, well, Apple(s) and oranges, though. Apple’s Private Cloud Compute underpins all of Apple Intelligence everywhere it can be applied. Private Processing, on the other hand, was purpose-built for WhatsApp and doesn’t underpin Meta’s AI features more broadly. Apple Intelligence is also…
This article is co-authored by Ugo Pradère and David Haüet can it be to transcribe an interview? You feed the audio to an AI model, wait a few minutes, and boom: perfect transcript, right? Well… not quite. When it comes to accurately transcribe long audio interviews, even more when the spoken language is not English, things get a lot more complicated. You need high quality transcription with reliable speaker identification, precise timestamps, and all that at an affordable price. Not so simple after all. In this article, we take you behind the scenes of our journey to build a scalable…

by Cameron Cartier and Dave Blandford This is a foolproof guide to intercepting traffic from mobile applications built on Flutter, which historically have been especially challenging to intercept. The methods presented should work for other types of applications as well. In the first half of this blog, we will discuss a method of intercepting iOS traffic via internet sharing on Mac. In the second half, we will show you how to intercept traffic from a rooted Android virtual device (AVD) using HTTP Toolkit. Need help with the rooting process? You can check out Dave’s blog on ‘How to Root Android…
Cybersecurity company SonicWall has warned customers that several vulnerabilities impacting its Secure Mobile Access (SMA) appliances are now being actively exploited in attacks. On Tuesday, SonicWall updated security advisories for the CVE-2023-44221 and CVE-2024-38475 security flaws to tag the two vulnerabilities as “potentially being exploited in the wild.” CVE-2023-44221 is described as a high-severity command injection vulnerability caused by improper neutralization of special elements in the SMA100 SSL-VPN management interface that enables attackers with admin privileges to inject arbitrary commands as a ‘nobody’ user. The second security bug, CVE-2024-38475, is rated as a critical severity flaw caused by improper escaping…
