Navigara Launches 'The 500 OSS Performance Index': A Live Benchmark of Engineering Output Across OpenAI, MSFT, GOOG, and Meta

Mon, 1 Jun 2026 14:24:20 EDT

AI vendors are selling productivity, but most of the evidence comes from their own controlled trials, surveys, or opaque benchmarks. Engineering leaders are currently making massive budget decisions based on numbers they cannot independently verify, against baselines they do not have, using methodologies they have never seen. Today, Navigara launches The 500 OSS Performance Index: a live, public benchmark tracking the actual engineering output of Microsoft, Meta, OpenAI, Vercel, Google,

HUAWEI Presents the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, Enabling Breakthroughs in Transistor Density and System Performance

Mon, 25 May 2026 13:00:14 EDT

At the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), He Tingbo from HUAWEI delivered a keynote speech titled “New Semiconductor Path in Practice”. In her speech, she presented the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, a new principle for guiding the future development of the semiconductor industry. This law proposes replacing geometric scaling with time (τ) scaling as a new guiding principle for the evolution of both semiconductors and electronic systems. Based on this princi...
