How DePIN and Beamable Network are transforming game backend

Decentralization isn’t a trend — it’s the future of game infrastructure. Beamable Network is building toward that future. Read Jon Radoff’s latest guest column on why the future of game backends is DePIN, via BlockchainGamer.biz.

Running AI workloads at scale means your infrastructure fails in ways you've never seen before. Token costs spike without warning. Latency compounds across microservices. Your reliability math stops working when AI services hallucinate instead of crashing. Michael Weening calls it "New game. New rules." When you rebuild the platform to support AI-native operations, every assumption about capacity planning, fault tolerance, and cost modeling gets rewritten. Calix's 3rd-generation platform handles this. We designed the cloud infrastructure to absorb unpredictable AI workload patterns while maintaining the reliability our customers expect from the platform. That means building buffering strategies for token consumption, circuit breakers for model inference failures, and cost controls that adapt to variable compute demand. #ConneXions will show what this looks like in production. I'm presenting in three sessions on how the platform actually works. If you're deploying AI features on legacy infrastructure, you're going to hit these problems. Come see how we solved them. https://lnkd.in/gBdJxNUd

A Nevada court has ruled in favour of Aristocrat Technologies, granting the company access to mathematical models from Light & Wonder's hold-and-spin slot games released since 2021. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dDT45YBp

Finding the best deal shouldn’t be a guessing game. We showed Black Seed Bagels how Order Guide makes comparing prices quick, clear, and actually kind of satisfying. Discover the latest tools from Square in Releases Vol. 2: squ.re/discoverreleases

Thrilled to sit down with Matt Kliegman, founder of Black Seed Bagels, to talk about how Square’s Order Guide is helping restaurants streamline procurement and save time and money on ingredient purchasing. Running a restaurant is hard - operators juggle multiple vendors, inconsistent pricing, and too much manual math. Order Guide makes that easier by: 🤖 Using AI to build ingredient lists from your menu 🥯 Pulling vendor catalogs into one place 💸 Auto-converting units for apples-to-apples price comparisons ⏳ Saving time and cutting costs Big thanks to Matt and the Black Seed team for letting us into their kitchen and sharing their story 🙌

Here's another look at the peeker's advantage we posted couple weeks ago, in a more technical perspective! If you are interested in the formulas and tests to get the result, read this!

In this video I discuss how running a voice AI bot feels a lot like running a multiplayer game server. When you break it down, both systems have to: - Spin up and tear down ephemeral compute based on real-time user demand - Maintain low-latency connection between a client - Manage session state across distributed infrastructure It’s fascinating to see how the playbooks from gaming infrastructure are directly influencing this new wave of AI systems. If you’re building in AI infra or games, I'd love to get your take.

VERTICAL SLICE UNDER FIRE: MEET THE GATE The game industry is under relentless pressure to prove progress—fast. Publishers and execs are zeroing in on milestone gate reviews, scrutinizing every vertical slice as if the entire project depends on it. In this unforgiving climate, there’s no room for demo fatigue or slip-ups: the bar for ‘fun,’ scalability, and cost control is higher than ever. https://lnkd.in/eae9aTrn
