Technology has been in the midst of a once-in-a-generation shift during the past few years. Cloud computing was already widely used, but got a boost from the growing adoption of [artificial intelligence (AI)](https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/ai-stocks/?utm_source=AolDailyFinance&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article&referring_guid=c438d26a-1f04-4773-b6f0-6c28055b225c). Because of the significant amount of data and the massive computing resources necessary, most AI systems live in the cloud. As demand for AI kicked into high gear, so too did demand for cloud computing. In the fourth quarter, worldwide cloud infrastructure services revenue of $119 billion grew 30% year over year, according to Synergy Research Group.
The clear beneficiaries of this trend have been the Big Three [cloud providers](https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/cloud-stocks/?utm_source=AolDailyFinance&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article&referring_guid=c438d26a-1f04-4773-b6f0-6c28055b225c), namely Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Web Services (AWS), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Azure, and Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) Google Cloud. The ongoing demand for cloud services has been a proxy for AI demand, and while each of the Big Three reported robust cloud growth in the 2025 calendar fourth quarter, one clear winner emerged.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.

Let's take a look at the results from each of these cloud titans and what they say about the future of AI.

## Amazon Web Services
As the largest cloud provider, all eyes were on Amazon when the company reported its recent financial results. AWS has long been the largest player in the cloud infrastructure industry it pioneered, and as such is seen as a bellwether in the space. It's no surprise, then, that it controls 28% of the worldwide cloud infrastructure market.
In the fourth quarter, cloud revenue of $35.6 billion grew 24% year over year, accelerating from 20% growth in the third quarter. CEO Andy Jassy noted that its growth rate was "our fastest growth in 13 quarters," fueled by strong demand for AI.
Amazon announced its spending plans for 2026, forecasting capital expenditures (capex) of $200 billion, with Jassy saying it was "predominantly in AWS." He said the company was supply constrained, noting, "We are monetizing capacity as fast as we can install it."

## Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is the No. 2 cloud provider, controlling an estimated 21% of the worldwide cloud infrastructure market. The company took an early lead in the AI revolution, sparked by its investment in ChatGPT creator OpenAI. Microsoft was instrumental in kick-starting the AI boom by integrating generative AI across a wide range of its products and services.
During the company's fiscal 2026 second quarter (ended Dec. 31), Azure and other cloud services revenue increased 39% year over year and 38% in constant currency. While its growth rate was impressive, it ticked lower from 40% growth in Q1.
CFO Amy Hood previously said that in response to "accelerating demand and a growing remaining performance obligation (RPO) balance ... we now expect fiscal year 2026 [capex] growth rate to be higher than fiscal 2025," though Microsoft hasn't been more specific. For Q2, she confirmed "Our customer demand continues to exceed our supply," supporting the company's decision to boost capex spending.

## Google Cloud
Google is widely recognized as the smallest of the Big Three, controlling roughly 14% of the worldwide cloud infrastructure market. However, when Alphabet reported its [fourth-quarter results](https://www.aol.com/finance/google-plans-double-capex-spending-234417175.html), cloud was the star of the show. Google Cloud revenue of $17.7 billion grew 48% -- accelerating from 34% in Q3 -- and was the fastest growth rate among the Big Three. The company said the impressive growth was driven by demand for its AI.

Google's Gemini 3 AI model has been a big winner. Alphabet sold over 8 million Gemini Enterprise seats, while the Gemini app surpassed 750 million monthly active users. At the same time, CEO Sundar Pichai said, "We were able to lower Gemini serving unit costs by 78% over 2025 through model optimizations, efficiency, and utilization improvements." So not only is the company serving more users, but it has also lowered the costs of serving them.
To meet the demand, Alphabet announced 2026 capex spending in a range of $175 billion to $185 billion, primarily in servers and data centers to support AI and cloud growth.

## Winner? Google Cloud!
To me, the clear winner was Google Cloud. Not only did the company's growth rate outpace both of its major cloud rivals, but it also cut costs, dropping more profits to the bottom line. While Amazon remains the largest of the Big Three, Google Cloud is growing more quickly.
Jassy threw a little shade at Google's results, saying, "It's very different having 24% year-over-year growth on a $142 billion annualized run rate than to have a higher percentage growth on a meaningfully smaller base, which is the case with our competitors."
While his point is well taken, if Google can continue to accelerate its cloud growth, it will eventually close the gap with its larger rival.
Alphabet isn't the screaming buy it was less than a year ago, but at 30 times earnings, it's attractively priced, particularly given the opportunity and its blistering cloud growth rate.

 February 25, 2026

## The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds a flaw in Soliton Systems K.K FileZen to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) [added](https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2026/02/13/cisa-adds-one-known-exploited-vulnerability-catalog) a Soliton Systems K.K FileZen flaw, tracked as [CVE-2026-25108](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-25108) (CVSS v4 score of 8.7), to its [Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog](https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog).

Soliton Systems K.K. FileZen is a secure file transfer solution that enables organizations to share and manage sensitive data safely. It provides access controls, activity logging, and antivirus scanning.

The vulnerability is an operating system (OS) command injection that could allow an authenticated user to execute arbitrary commands via specially crafted HTTP requests.

“Command Injection Vulnerability in a Specific Field on the Post-Logon Screen (CWE-78)” reads the [advisory](https://www.soliton.co.jp/support/2026/006657.html). “A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary OS commands within FileZen.”

The vulnerability can be exploited only if two conditions are met: the FileZen virus check feature (BitDefender-based) is enabled, and an attacker has valid login access to the FileZen website, either through leaked credentials or successfully guessed user IDs and passwords.

The flaw impacts Versions 5.0.0 to 5.0.10 and Versions 4.2.1 to 4.2.8. V5.0.11 or later address the flaw.

Soliton is aware of the active exploitation of this flaw:

“We have received at least one report of damage caused by the exploitation of this vulnerability.” reads the advisory. “For this vulnerability to occur, an attacker must log on to the web screen with general user privileges. If you have been attacked or suspected of being a victim of this vulnerability, please consider not only updating to V5.0.11 or later, but also changing all user passwords as a precaution, since an attacker could log on with at least one real account.”

According to [Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities](https://cyber.dhs.gov/bod/22-01/), FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog.

Experts also recommend that private organizations review the [Catalog](https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog) and address the vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.

CISA orders federal agencies to fix the vulnerability by March 17, 2026.

Naomi Nix and Ben Brody (Bloomberg) -- Microsoft Corp. said it’s secured a lucrative cloud deal with the intelligence community that marks a rapid expansion by the software giant into a market led by Amazon.com Inc.
The deal, which the company said Wednesday is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, allows 17 intelligence agencies and offices to use Microsoft’s Azure Government, a cloud service tailored for federal and local governments, in addition to other products Microsoft already offers, such as its Windows 10 operating system and word processing programs.
The cloud agreement gives Microsoft more power to [make its case to the Pentagon](/cloud/amazon-oracle-microsoft-jockey-for-pentagon-s-cloud-business) as goes up against competitors like International Business Machines Corp., Oracle Corp. and Amazon for the agency’s winner-take-all cloud computing contract for up to 10 years. Amazon Web Services, the leading cloud provider, is widely perceived to be the front-runner for the job, which is expected to amount to billions of dollars over the duration of the contract.
Related:[Pentagon to Respond on Cloud Contract Rivals Say Favors Amazon](/undefined-category/pentagon-to-respond-on-cloud-contract-rivals-say-favors-amazon)
"What this does, is it reinforces the fact that we are a solid cloud platform that the federal government can put their trust in," Dana Barnes, the vice president of the company’s national security group, said in an interview. "If the IC can trust it, so can the DOD."
A Pentagon spokeswoman didn’t comment on the Microsoft cloud agreement.

## New Deal
Microsoft’s new deal renews and expands a previous agreement between the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Dell Inc., which licenses Microsoft’s products to the federal government. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence manages the efforts of the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency and parts of other agencies, including the Defense Department. Under the deal, each agency can choose whether and when to adopt Microsoft’s cloud, Barnes said.
As part of a separate deal, the Defense Department has said it intends to move the department’s technology needs -- 3.4 million users and 4 million devices -- to the cloud to give it a tactical edge on the battlefield and strengthen its use of emerging technologies. Tech companies jockeying for the contract, including Microsoft, have urged the agency to pick more than one vendor for the project, arguing that awarding only one contract will stifle innovation and increase security risks.
Microsoft’s entry into the intelligence community follows Amazon’s 2013 [contract with the Central Intelligence Agency](/cloud/cia-s-on-prem-amazon-cloud-now-available-to-other-agencies). That $600 million deal has elicited praise from Defense Secretary James Mattis.
"We’ve examined what CIA achieved in terms of availability of data" and "also security of their data, and it’s very impressive," Mattis said at congressional hearing in April.
In April, President Donald Trump fired off several tweets that were sharply critical of Amazon on topics that included the Postal Service, taxes and retailing. Despite that, several people said at the time there were no active discussions about turning his rhetoric into concrete steps against the company.

## Microsoft’s Advantages
While Microsoft trails Amazon in the cloud market, company executives say it offers customers unique advantages including artificial intelligence capabilities, voice recognition and translation products and the ability to support hybrid technology environments that mix legacy on-premise computing systems with cloud systems.
The ability to apply Microsoft’s analytical capabilities to the data on Azure through artificial intelligence is "very valuable to this community," Barnes said.
Microsoft is not new to government business. It is the primary vendor on $1.3 billion of unclassified contracts signed in the last five fiscal years, according to Bloomberg Government data. The Defense Department accounted for nearly $1 billion of the contracts.
In addition to its computers, operating systems and marquee word processing software, the company’s government cloud services have also won security certification to host sensitive data in the Justice Department, Veterans Affairs Department and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Every federal cabinet level agency has access to Azure, including the Defense Department, Microsoft said.

About 250 million years ago, a region that is now a harsh desert in remote northwestern Australia lay along the edge of a shallow bay connected to a vast prehistoric ocean. Fossils collected there more than six decades ago and largely overlooked in museum collections are now reshaping scientists' understanding of how land animals first returned to the sea and spread across the globe.

The end-Permian mass extinction, the most devastating die-off in Earth's history, struck about 252 million years ago and was followed by extreme global warming. In its aftermath, modern-style marine ecosystems began to take shape at the start of the Age of Dinosaurs (or Mesozoic era). During this critical window, the earliest sea-going tetrapods (limbed vertebrates), including amphibians and reptiles, emerged and quickly became dominant aquatic apex predators. Most fossils of these early marine hunters have been found in the northern hemisphere. Comparable discoveries from the southern hemisphere have been rare and remain poorly documented.

Now, a fresh analysis of 250 million-year-old fossils from the Kimberly region of northern Western Australia reveals a surprisingly diverse group of marine amphibians with unexpected global connections across ancient oceans.

Lost Fossils Rediscovered After 50 Years

Marine amphibian fossils were first uncovered in Australia during expeditions in the 1960s and 1970s. The specimens were divided between museums in Australia and the U.S.A. Research published in 1972 concluded that the material represented a single species, Erythrobatrachus noonkanbahensis. The species was identified from several skull fragments eroding out of rock at Noonkanbah cattle station, east of the remote Kimberly town of Derby.

Over the following decades, the original Erythrobatrachus fossils were misplaced. Their disappearance triggered an international search through museum collections. In 2024, the long-lost specimens were finally located, allowing researchers to reexamine these puzzling marine amphibians with modern techniques.

Early Marine Amphibians After the Permian Extinction

Erythrobatrachus belonged to a group known as trematosaurid temnospondyls. These animals were 'crocodile-like' relatives of today's salamanders and frogs and could reach lengths of up to 2 m. Trematosaurids are especially significant because their fossils appear in coastal rock deposits formed less than 1 million years after the end-Permian mass extinction. As a result, they represent the oldest clearly recognizable group of Mesozoic marine tetrapods.

A closer look at the rediscovered skull fragments revealed an important surprise. The bones once attributed to a single species actually came from at least two different trematosaurids: Erythrobatrachus and a second form belonging to the genus Aphaneramma.

High-resolution 3D scans of the Erythrobatrachus skull indicate it measured about 40 cm long when complete and belonged to a large-bodied predator with a broad head. Aphaneramma was similar in overall size but had a long, narrow snout suited for snapping up small fish. Both species swam through open water in the same environment, yet they likely targeted different prey.

Evidence of Rapid Global Spread

Erythrobatrachus is known only from Australia. In contrast, Aphaneramma fossils have been discovered in rocks of similar age in Svalbard in the Scandinavian Arctic, the Russian Far East, Pakistan, and Madagascar. These findings suggest that some of the earliest Mesozoic marine tetrapods expanded quickly into multiple ecological roles and spread widely across the planet. They may have traveled along the coastlines of interconnected supercontinents during the first two million years of the Age of Dinosaurs.

The study appears in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. The rediscovered Erythrobatrachus fossils are now being returned to Australia. Additional amphibian fossils from the Age of Dinosaurs can be seen at the Swedish Museum of Natural History.

Mohammed al-Hindi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, said the proposed Peace Council — officially known as the “Board of Peace” in Gaza — was “a theatrical show” that had failed to stop Israel from continuing what he described as a war of genocide in the enclave.

In press remarks on Tuesday, al-Hindi said the council, chaired by US President Donald Trump, had adopted what he called the Israeli occupation’s agenda and was concerned only with guaranteeing Israel’s security.

He added that statements by US Ambassador Mike Huckabee exposed what he described as Washington’s clear bias towards Israel.

Al-Hindi said it would have been more appropriate for the US administration to issue a clear condemnation and a direct apology over the ambassador’s remarks.

He argued that the Israeli occupation, not the weapons of the resistance, was the main cause of instability in the region. He also claimed that Israel had an interest in provoking a US war against Iran.

The “Peace Council” was established as part of efforts to reach a political settlement in the Gaza Strip. Under an agreement between Israel and the Hamas movement, it is expected to assume responsibility for administering the territory.

However, reports indicate that the council’s mandate may be expanded to include preventing and resolving conflicts in other parts of the world.

So far, the council has reportedly raised around $5bn from its members. Negotiations are continuing over additional commitments from other countries, estimated at about $1bn per state.

Japanese firms Toshiba and MIRISE Technologies have demonstrated a breakthrough in autonomous mobility.

The firms have embedded Toshiba’s Simulated Bifurcation Machine (SBM), a quantum-inspired optimization computer, directly into a mobile robot.

Installed on a MIRISE-developed autonomous platform, the SBM enables real-time processing of complex multi-object tracking tasks under strict size and power constraints.

The achievement marks the first time a quantum-inspired optimization system has been integrated inside a mobile device for autonomous control.

## Real-time robot vision

Driven by labor shortages, demand for autonomous vehicles and mobile robots is increasing across logistics and smart mobility sectors.

These systems must detect and track routes and obstacles using cameras and [LiDAR](https://interestingengineering.com/science/what-is-lidar-technology-and-what-are-its-main-applications), while making real-time decisions within short control cycles. At the same time, they face strict constraints on size, power consumption, and cost, creating technical challenges as processing requirements grow more complex.

[Quantum](https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/quantum-breakthrough-to-boost-robot-posture-control)-inspired optimization computers use algorithms derived from quantum computing to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems. Unlike quantum computers, they operate on standard hardware such as FPGAs, GPUs and ASICs, without requiring dedicated quantum hardware.

Toshiba and MIRISE developed a prototype embedded platform using Toshiba’s SBM and verified it through hardware experiments. They created a multi-object tracking algorithm capable of continuously tracking individuals in crowded environments where objects frequently cross paths or become obscured.

The tracking problem was formulated as a combinatorial optimization task. In addition to one-to-one matching, the algorithm enables one-to-many matching using SBM’s high-speed search capability, allowing re-tracking after occlusion. Evaluations using the Higher Order Tracking Accuracy metric showed a 4 percent improvement over standard benchmarks and a 23 percent improvement on benchmarks designed to assess object obscuration.

## Quantum-inspired mobility

Toshiba implemented its SBM on an embedded FPGA, achieving high-speed performance under strict power and size constraints.

By leveraging SBM’s high parallelism and proprietary circuit design technology, the system delivered repeated detection and multi-object tracking at 23 frames per second, exceeding the 10 FPS typically required for automated driving. This enables advanced optimization tasks, previously limited to high-performance servers, to run in real time on compact, low-power devices such as vehicle systems and robot controllers.

In real-world trials with MIRISE, the FPGA equipped with the new tracking algorithm was installed on an autonomous mobile robot. The [robot](https://interestingengineering.com/ai-robotics/figure-helix02-upgrades-humanoid-robot-control) successfully demonstrated dynamic path planning while avoiding multiple moving objects. The system used SBM-based tracking data to analyze object position confidence and movement direction, adjust occupancy zones, and predict future positions. This reduced unnecessary avoidance maneuvers and improved navigation efficiency.

“While quantum‑inspired optimization computers such as SBM have previously been developed and used for centralized control of mobile systems, this is the world’s first instance of embedding such a computer directly inside a mobile platform and applying it to autonomous control,” said Toshiba in a [statement](https://www.global.toshiba/ww/technology/corporate/rdc/rd/topics/26/2602-02.html).

The companies plan to expand the embedded SBM’s use to automated vehicles, multi-robot coordination, complex route optimization, real-time task allocation, and broader embedded applications across industry sectors.

The mountains of the [ocean](https://mashable.com/article/ocean-deep-sea-exploration) teem with otherworldly life.
A [deep sea](https://mashable.com/article/deep-sea-ocean-discovery-2023) expedition along an expansive underwater ridge, focused on the area around Rapa Nui (Easter Island), spotted some 160 species never found before in this remote marine realm, including 60 species scientists think are completely new to science. A major goal of this mission — across the Salas y Gómez Ridge in the Pacific Ocean — is to identify places that should be protected from exploitation and the coming wave of deep sea mining.
The expedition visited 10 seamounts along the 2,900-kilometer-long (1,800-mile) range, though the greater range includes over 100 undersea mountains. Earlier this year, [another Pacific Ocean seamount expedition](https://schmidtocean.org/underwater-mountains-harbor-abundant-life/) off of Chile found perhaps 100 new species, too.

"The astonishing habitats and animal communities that we have unveiled during these two expeditions constitute a dramatic example of how little we know about this remote area," Javier Sellanes, a professor in the Universidad Católica del Norte Department of Marine Biology in Chile who worked on the expedition, said in a statement.

Ocean research organizations are now vigilantly [documenting and mapping the deep sea](https://mashable.com/article/deep-sea-video-creatures-oceanx). Scientists want to shine a light — literally and figuratively — on what's down there.

"We always discover stuff when we go out into the deep sea. You're always finding things that you haven't seen before," Derek Sowers, an expedition lead for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Ocean Exploration mission, told Mashable.
The implications of knowing are incalculable, particularly as deep sea mineral prospectors [prepare to run tank-like industrial equipment](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/03/world/deep-sea-mining.html) across parts of the seafloor. For example, research expeditions have found that ocean life carries great potential for novel medicines. "Systematic searches for new drugs have shown that marine invertebrates produce more antibiotic, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory substances than any group of terrestrial organisms," [notes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration](https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/medicinesfromsea.html).

Google has announced the public preview of the [Developer Knowledge API](https://developers.googleblog.com/en/introducing-the-developer-knowledge-api-and-mcp-server/). It comes with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This gives AI development tools a simple, machine-readable way to reach Google's official developer documentation.

The announcement tackles a common issue in AI development. Language models trained on fixed documentation will quickly fall out of sync with fast-changing platforms. The ecosystem of AI-powered developer tools is growing. This includes platforms like Antigravity and command-line tools like Gemini CLI. So, making sure these models have accurate and up-to-date documentation is a big challenge.https://developers.googleblog.com/introducing-the-developer-knowledge-api-and-mcp-server/When AI assistants confidently generate code against deprecated APIs or missing features, the resulting bugs can be subtle and costly to debug.

The Developer Knowledge API acts as a programmatic source of truth for Google's public documentation.

The API has two main functions.

- SearchDocumentChunks: This finds page URIs and content snippets based on a query.

- GetDocument or BatchGetDocuments: These retrieve the full content of the search results.

Alongside the API, Google is releasing an official MCP server. MCP is an open standard that many in the industry are adopting. It lets AI assistants safely access external data sources in real-time instead of just using their built-in training knowledge. The server offers tools for information retrieval. The search_document tool lets an agent query the documentation using natural language. Meanwhile, get_document retrieves the full content of a specific page found through the search.https://medium.com/google-cloud/tutorial-mastering-the-google-developer-knowledge-mcp-server-172201f9a9cbThe practical upshot is that an AI assistant can now look up the authoritative answer to questions like "how do I implement vector search in Firestore?" rather than hallucinating a plausible-sounding but incorrect one.

The MCP server is a remote server, accessible at [https://developerknowledge.googleapis.com/mcp](https://developerknowledge.googleapis.com/mcp). Developers connect to it by enabling the Developer Knowledge API in their Google Cloud project, creating an API key, and updating their tool's MCP configuration file.https://developers.google.com/knowledge/mcpGoogle has published configuration instructions for several popular AI assistants and IDEs.

The current preview release returns documentation as unstructured Markdown. As Google approaches general availability, it will add support for structured content. This includes specific code sample objects and API reference entities. It also plans to expand the documentation and reduce re-indexing latency.

The release fits into a broader pattern of [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/learn/server-concepts) adoption across the industry. This suggests that MCP is becoming the standard way to connect AI agents to live data sources. It’s similar to how REST became the go-to for HTTP APIs a decade ago.

For teams using Google's developer platforms, the benefit is clear. AI code assistants, which once suggested outdated SDK methods or incorrect configuration options, now have a live reference to consult. This helps bridge the gap between what the model "knows" and what the platform actually supports.

Google's launch is important not for its uniqueness, but because it rounds out the picture. Now, all three major cloud providers have official, remotely hosted MCP servers. These servers help keep AI coding assistants in sync with their live documentation. [AWS's Knowledge MCP](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/07/aws-knowledge-mcp-server-available-preview/) Server became generally available. It offers documentation, blog posts, and Well-Architected guidance without needing authentication. [Microsoft's Learn MCP Server](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/support/mcp) also offers unauthenticated access to the same index that supports Copilot for Azure. It refreshes gradually with each content update. Google's offering adds API key authentication but still promises sub-24-hour re-indexing after platform updates.

Real-time documentation is quickly becoming a standard expectation for AI tools aimed at developers, not just a feature that sets them apart. What began as separate experiments with MCP has now become a common standard. Each provider is creating a similar "authoritative source of truth" endpoint and linking their AI assistant systems to it. A more exciting competitive edge is the next level up. AWS and Microsoft have gone beyond simple knowledge retrieval. They now offer MCP servers that can act on cloud resources. These servers execute API calls and manage multi-step workflows for agents. Whether Google follows suit with an operational counterpart to its knowledge-focused API will be worth watching as the space continues to mature.

The Developer Knowledge API is available via the Google Cloud console. Detailed setup documentation can be found at[developers.google.com/knowledge](https://developers.google.com/knowledge).
