Cloudflare yesterday announced its new Markdown for Agents feature, which serves machine-friendly versions of web content alongside traditional human-facing pages. Cloudflare described the update as a response to the rise of AI crawlers and agentic browsing. When a client requests text/markdown, Cloudflare fetches the HTML from the origin server, converts it at the edge, and returns a Markdown version. The response also includes a token estimate header intended to help developers manage context windows. Early reactions focused on the efficiency gains, as well as the broader implications of serving alternate representations of web content. What’s happening. Cloudflare, which powers roughly…

Android Central Labs (Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central)Android Central Labs is a weekly column devoted to deep dives, experiments, and a focused look into the tech you use. It covers phones, tablets, and everything in between.When I was in middle school, I was enamored with the idea of making my own video game. Through the rudimentary nature of the AOL-era internet, I learned Visual Basic and proceeded to make very basic games. That was enough of a spark to get me to try my hand at harder coding languages, but I quickly realized I was in over my…
Nvidia noted that cost per token went from 20 cents on the older Hopper platform to 10 cents on Blackwell. Moving to Blackwell’s native low-precision NVFP4 format further reduced the cost to just 5 cents, so a basic upgrade gave a 4x improvement in cost per token while maintaining the accuracy that customers expect. Nvidia outlined four industry deployments in a blog post showing how this combination of Blackwell infrastructure, NVFP4, optimized software stacks and open-source models delivers significant cost reductions. They break down like this: Healthcare — In healthcare, tedious, time-consuming tasks like medical coding, documentation and managing insurance…
Ravie LakshmananFeb 13, 2026Malware / Critical Infrastructure Several state-sponsored actors, hacktivist entities, and criminal groups from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia have trained their sights on the defense industrial base (DIB) sector, according to findings from Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG). The tech giant’s threat intelligence division said the adversarial targeting of the sector is centered around four key themes: striking defense entities deploying technologies on the battlefield in the Russia-Ukraine War, directly approaching employees and exploitation of the hiring process by North Korean and Iranian actors, use of edge devices and appliances as initial access pathways for China-nexus…

LG announcing that it will stop making 8K TVs, following Sony last year and TCL in 2023, got me thinking about how useless the 8K television era has been. There was once an argument that 8K made sense and would future-proof your pricey TV purchase for years to come. After all, when 4K (3840 × 2160 pixel resolution) TVs became more mainstream in 2016-2018, the same argument circulated. At the time, there wasn’t much 4K content available, but streaming services, physical media, and game consoles have since caught up. Pretty much every major streaming platform supports 4K, 2K/4K gaming is…
Threat actors are abusing Claude artifacts and Google Ads in ClickFix campaigns that deliver infostealer malware to macOS users searching for specific queries. At least two variants of the malicious activity have been observed in the wild, and more than 10,000 users have accessed the content with dangerous instructions. A Claude artifact is content generated with Antropic’s LLM that has been made public by the author. It can be anything from instructions, guides, chunks of code, or other types of output that are isolated from the main chat and accessible to anyone via links hosted on the claude.ai domain. An artifact’s…
Using Android Auto with only the ‘out-of-the-box’ experience is like using a flagship smartphone without visiting the Google Play Store. It’s functional, but quite limited. After exploring the world of streaming, productivity, and useful utilities, I have found a handful of essential, often overlooked apps that I ensure are synced and ready to go before I even put my car in gear. These aren’t just nice-to-have extras; they are the apps that bridge the gap between a basic navigation screen and a personalized and productive mobile workstation. Related Why Android Auto is still a love-hate relationship for me I can’t…
