One of the features I have been wanting in Kepler for a long time was the ability to use Pi as my agent when spinning up tasks. Pi is such a minimal harness that it doesn’t prompt for approval for every little thing and it’s system prompt let’s the model just be itself. That minimalism comes at a cost, though. Pi doesn’t have ACP support out of the box, so that means we haven’t been able to officially support it in Kepler, yet.

Learn how immutable backups protect data from deletion, encryption, and ransomware attacks so organizations can recover clean copies. Table of Contents Ransomware attacks are a major threat to modern organizations. Cybercriminals encrypt an organization’s data and demand payments to restore access to it. Modern ransomware also attempts to destroy existing backup files to prevent recovery. Therefore, you must protect backup targets with strong data isolation controls.

Blagomir Petrakiev, Data Centre Services Engineer in Maidenhead, made the move from automotive customer service to data centre operations after studying for his Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. In this Q&A, Blagomir shares what it’s like working behind the scenes at Pulsant, from infrastructure checks and remote hands tasks to learning new skills and building a career in digital infrastructure.

One multinational running on Upsun operates more than 400 websites. Each subsidiary has its own sites, its own team, its own release schedule, and its own local requirements. What they share is one infrastructure control layer: the same access model, the same encryption defaults, the same activity records, the same region and backup policy on every project. Adding the 401st site does not add a 401st set of infrastructure controls for someone to review.

Picture two teams running the same million input tokens through the same model. One team’s tokens are cache hits, queued through the batch API. The other team’s are fresh, sent live. On a current-generation OpenAI model, cached input runs about a tenth the price of a fresh token, and batch processing cuts whatever’s left in half. Stack the two: at a list rate of $2 per million tokens, one team’s bill comes to 10 cents, the other’s to two dollars.
