Reports of desktop Linux adoption numbers are probably exaggerated, the Steam Frame seemingly gets closer, Valve’s European logistics partner leaks people’s data, Proxmox gains Arm64 support, GNOME Boxes makes some changes, and a quick KDE Korner. With guest hosts Chris from Linux After Dark, and Sean from Hybrid Cloud Show.
Danish wholesaler Lemvigh-Müller transformed manual document handling with SAP Business AI. The company automatically processes incoming business documents, including orders, delivery notes, and invoices received as PDFs and emails, reducing manual work and helping teams focus on execution rather than paperwork.
Discover how a 200-hour AI project became a scalable foundation for broader business process automation.

AI spending is accelerating faster than most organizations can track it, and the billing data coming from model providers and cloud platforms is not yet granular enough to tell teams where the money is actually going. Without a common framework, engineering and finance teams are flying blind on one of the fastest-growing line items in their budget.
In this exclusive interview with Swapnil Bhartiya at TFiR, Mike Fuller, Member of the Technical Staff, Tokenomics Foundation, breaks down how organizations can gain visibility into AI token spend, connect costs to business outcomes, and build governance before budgets spiral.
Key Topics Covered:
– Why token cost applies to both API-based inference and on-premises model deployments, including hardware procurement, energy, cooling, and lifecycle management
– How the Tokenomics Foundation structures AI value across three domains: production, consumption, and monetization, and where the biggest efficiency opportunities sit today
– The critical gap between cloud billing data and observability telemetry, and why teams must pair both data sets to understand cost at the team, application, and operation level
– Practical first steps for organizations already mid-journey on AI adoption, including scoping internal productivity AI versus customer-facing product AI separately
– Why optimizing token consumption can degrade output quality, and how the industry needs new tooling and best practices to balance cost and performance without compromising results
Model ML is solving the “last-mile problem” in finance, carrying asks from research to analysis to a finished PowerPoint deck or Excel workbook with traceable sources.
When Model ML tested GPT‑5.6 Sol in its Composite, the results “blew every metric out the water,” says Co-founder and CEO Chaz Englander:
⚡ 21% fewer tokens per PowerPoint deck than Fable 5
✅ A 16.6 percentage-point lead over Opus 5 on decks ready for substantive review
📊 36% fewer tokens per Excel workbook than Opus 5

Prompt caching can cut the input cost of long AI agent sessions dramatically—but only when your harness preserves reusable prompt prefixes. This video explains what prompt caching actually stores, why agent costs compound across turns, how provider behavior differs, and the implementation mistakes that invalidate your cache.
