San Jose – November 06, 2026 -- Supermicro, IBM and NVIDIA have launched a joint KV cache storage solution that delivered up to 56x faster Time-to-First-Token (TTFT) at 130,000-token prompts in testing with a 120-billion-parameter large language model.

Test results show TTFT rising 0.377 seconds with cache versus 29.55 seconds without

As input length grew from 30,000 to 130,000 tokens, TTFT increased by only 0.377 seconds with persistent KV cache. Without it, TTFT increased by 29.55 seconds. The figures come from joint testing by Supermicro and NVIDIA and are detailed in an IBM Redbook.

The companies also ran cluster-level validation covering high-concurrency and noisy-neighbor network traffic scenarios.

Toronto – November 06, 2026 -- Tucows Inc. (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC) reported third-quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $18.6 million, up 39.8% year over year and 51% from the prior quarter, driven mainly by a one-time re-rate of its mobile contract in the Corporate segment.

Gross profit rises 20.5% on non-recurring contract renegotiation

Consolidated net revenue increased 1.4% year over year to $100.0 million, with growth at Ting driving the gain. Gross profit climbed 20.5% to $29.1 million and improved 13% sequentially. Tucows attributed both gains primarily to the large, non-recurring re-rate from renegotiating the mobile contract, plus year-over-year growth at Ting.

Ting also posted strong adjusted EBITDA year over year and sequentially, but the Corporate segment's mobile contract re-rate was the main driver of the quarter's result.

Austin – November 06, 2026 -- webAI has released its webAI app for Mac to the public for the first time, running small reasoning models locally so users can process private files without cloud uploads or per-token charges.

Local processing replaces metered cloud usage

The app executes webAI's new small reasoning models on the user's own computer. According to the company, most AI services run in the cloud, where usage is metered by tokens or capped by plan, and every document is sent to external servers. On the Mac, a user can revise a sensitive client proposal or an unfinished business plan repeatedly without hitting a token limit.

CEO and co-founder David Stout described the aim as "making cloud AI optional," adding that users keep control over what they share and can ask unlimited follow-up questions.
