    Oman Deputy IT Minister Applauds Kingsoft Office’s AI Strategy

    Dr. Ali bin Amer Al Shidhani, Oman’s deputy minister for communications and information technology, toured Kingsoft Office’s booth at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and tested the company’s latest AI agents-Lingxi Professional and WPS Comate. Both sides discussed WPS’s integrated cloud-and-device architecture, how WPS 365 could meet data-security requirements for government and enterprise clients in the Middle East, and the outlook for AI office software adoption in Oman. Dr. Al Shidhani praised Kingsoft Office’s approach to enterprise AI—keeping it under control, and putting it to real use. He said he hopes to bring WPS’s AI tools into Oman’s telecommunications sector and government digitization efforts, and to deepen digital-industry ties across the Gulf.

    How Dubai Successfully Turned the Summer Break into a Platform for Prevention and Positive Youth Development

    Rather than viewing the summer break as time away from learning, Dubai has turned it into an opportunity to strengthen prevention, discipline, safety awareness and positive values among young people through Dubai Police’s Hemaya International Centre. This year, the centre’s Summer Student Programme graduated 1,402 students from 31 nationalities, bringing the total number of graduates since 2018 to 10,792 students representing 175 nationalities. The initiative is part of Dubai’s wider vision of creating a safe, resilient and future ready society by investing in young people through preventive education, practical skills and community partnerships.

    WEKA and Andromeda Partner to Power AI Workloads at Global Scale

    Our goal is to enable the global flow of compute, and that means every cluster we deliver has to perform, no matter where the capacity comes from. Standardizing on WEKA NeuralMesh has given our customers hyperscaler-grade consistency with open-market flexibility at the storage and memory layer, where performance is won or lost,” said Wil Moushey, CEO at Andromeda. “Idle GPUs are throttling the pace of AI innovation. WEKA helps us ensure every GPU we manage is earning its keep.”

    Innodisk Introduces High-Speed DDR5 12800 MT/s MRDIMM to Power AI Workloads

    Innodisk, a leading global AI solution provider, introduces the DDR5 12800 MT/s MRDIMM to support the rapid growth of generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and robotics applications. With an industry-leading data rate of 12800 MT/s, this advanced memory module delivers exceptional bandwidth efficiency and scalability to meet the growing processing demands of AI-driven innovations. Breaking the Memory Wall with Advanced Architecture The growing complexity of AI and HPC workloads has exposed the limitations of traditional memory architectures, often referred to as the “memory wall”—a bottleneck where memory bandwidth fails to keep up with processing speeds, leading to inefficiencies. The DDR5 12800 MT/s MRDIMM overcomes this challenge with its innovative Multiplexed Registering Clock Driver (MRCD) and Multiplexed Data Buffer (MDB) architecture. By enabling simultaneous two-rank access, this breakthrough design increases bandwidth by 60% compared to traditional DDR5 8000 MT/s RDIMMs, significantly improving data transfer speeds and computational efficiency. By reducing the load on the memory controller and lowering latency, this module enhances AI model training, large language models (LLMs), and robotic automation applications.
