ASP.NET Core offers a simplified hosting model, called minimal APIs, that allows us to build lightweight APIs with minimal dependencies. We’ve discussed minimal APIs in several earlier posts here. We’ve examined how we can implement in-memory caching, route constraints, model binding, parameter binding, anti-forgery tokens, versioning, JWT authentication, identity authentication, authentication handler, logging, and testing

The launch of a major Windows 10 update isn’t the end of a process — it’s really just the beginning.

In environments ranging from construction sites to university campuses to legal and retail operations, IT leaders are putting generative AI assistants to work — and discovering how to make them drive productivity. In this article, we focus on Microsoft 365 Copilot, examining real-world experiences that reveal both the promise and the pitfalls of the AI

Chinese startup DeepSeek has released its largest AI model to date, a 685-billion-parameter model that industry observers say could intensify competition with US players.

Despite the quiet rollout, early benchmark results reportedly suggest the model performs

Microsoft has issued fixes for a pair of troublesome bugs introduced with its August 2025 Patch Tuesday cumulative security updates. The updates — KB5063875, KB5063709, and KB5063877 — not only triggered installation errors that blocked some Windows 11 devices from upgrading, but also broke reset and recovery tools across both Windows 11 and Windows 10. The problems affected Windows

A recent survey by MIT found that 95% of generative AI (genAI) projects failed to have a meaningful financial impact. But for companies making productivity tools, adopting the technology has become a matter of survival. Everyone from big-name companies like Microsoft and Google to others like Zoom, Slack and Twilio, shifted gears (and business practices) in

Just a few months into Meta’s multi-billion-dollar AI moonshot, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is already shaking up his “Superintelligence Lab” — and some of its longtime leaders are leaving amid the chaos. As the New York Times reports based on insider sources, Meta has announced internally that it will be splitting its AI division into four separate

OpenAI’s launch of its long-awaited GPT-5 AI model turned out to be a bit of a dud. Those expecting a revolutionary change, something CEO Sam Altman promised outright months ago, were left sorely disappointed. In many ways, GPT-5 felt more like an iterative improvement, while a colder and less personable tone took aback those looking to

Shares of AI chipmaker Nvidia plunged on Wednesday, dropping by more than three percent in early trading — for a total slide of over five percent in the past week. Other major AI players fell as well, including Google, Meta, and Tesla. AI software company Palantir’s stock fell by nearly nine percent this morning. Nvidia is
