The biggest changes Let’s talk about the biggest changes between Apache Spark 3.x and Spark 4. Scala 2.12 no more First up, there’s no support

28.05.2026 02:11 Developers now benefit from consistency and repeatability for cutting-edge workflows, including agentic AI. Today, Canonical announced the release of Workshop, a solution for launching development environments with a single command. These environments are configured once, and can be reproduced on different machines. This means consistent workflows across development machines and deployment pipelines, and less time

26.05.2026 10:21 The era of prompt-and-response AI is behind us. We are now firmly in the age of agentic AI and the world needs a new class of compute built for this reality. That is why the launch of the Arm® AGI CPU is a pivotal moment. And to harness that raw, bare-metal efficiency at scale, it

22.05.2026 13:50 Open source thrives on engineering-driven processes. Fast feedback loops, terminal tools, Git workflows: they’re the lifeblood of how we build software in the open. But for software to truly excel, we need to create user experiences that empower people to use them. I wanted to bring this conversation into the spotlight as part of Canonical’s

21.05.2026 18:01 I’ve yet to meet a developer that enjoys working with metered AI APIs. The need to pay for every API call in development works in direct opposition to the ethos of rapid iteration, and it’s easy for the costs to get out of hand. That’s why Canonical has created a different approach to building AI-powered
