Spirent and Juniper Networks Collaborate to Showcase First Public UET Test
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), a leading provider of test and assurance solutions for next-generation devices and networks, and Juniper Networks have successfully completed the first live public demonstration of Ultra Ethernet Transport (UET), marking a major milestone for the evolving Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) ecosystem.
'Validating performance and interoperability with emerging transport standards like UET is essential for ensuring next-generation infrastructure can meet the evolving demands of AI-driven networking.'
The demonstration took place at Interop25 Tokyo, where Spirent, Juniper, and Spirent's long-standing partner in Japan, TOYO Corporation, jointly generated and forwarded UET traffic in a live network environment utilizing the Spirent B3 800G Appliance and the Juniper QFX 5240-64OD Switch. The test topology also included RoCEv2 traffic, demonstrating seamless coexistence and interoperability, and earned the companies a coveted Interop ShowNet Special Prize. The Juniper switch with 800G interfaces successfully recognized and forwarded all traffic types, validating its readiness for UET-based deployments.
As hyperscalers continue to prioritize open, interoperable solutions for AI/ML back-end networks, the significance of the UEC initiative and its fresh approach to delivering AI and HPC performance is becoming ever more apparent. With the consortium approaching its first official specification release, Spirent and Juniper are playing a pivotal role in driving progress through rigorous real-world validation, helping to strengthen and refine the evolving ecosystem.
'We are honored to have been recognized alongside Spirent with this prestigious award at Interop Tokyo,' said Praful Lalchandani, VP of Products, Data Center Platforms and AI Solutions,Juniper Networks.

Nvidia's market dominance leaves it with 'only one way to go'
Nvidia (NVDA) is dominating the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market, but its lead could shrink as rivals ramp up. Gil Luria, D.A. Davidson head of technology research, joins Market Domination to explain how players like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Broadcom (AVGO), and Huawei are positioned to chip away at Nvidia's market share. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here. You know, Gil, I, I know some colleagues of yours on the street, big fans of AMD, and they say, you know what, Lisa Su and her team, they're gonna, they're gonna narrow that gap with Jensen Wong and his crew over at Nvidia. I am curious broadly, Gil, how do you see the competitive landscape evolving for Nvidia? Yeah, so that's the other part of it is that, uh, Nvidia has almost the entire market right now. The number 2, the distant number 2 is actually Google TPUs. uh, Broadcom, uh, which, which Broadcom supplies, so in that sense they're also in the mix, but AMD Intel, all those are are really minor players going forward. We expect the the the custom chips made by Broadcom Marvell and others to have a bigger share of the market. AMD to start growing from that very small base but very importantly tying to the conversation you started earlier, Huawei. The more restricted Nvidia is selling into China, the better glide path there is for Huawei to accelerate growth and take bigger and bigger pieces of the market. So again, Nvidia participating just well the shrinking share because they're starting with the owning the almost the entire market, there's only one way to go from there.

AI Art Project Issues Open Letter on AI Panic, Mirrors the Culture That Built It
By GlobeNewswire Published on July 1, 2025, 06:22 IST New York, New York, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a new open letter titled The Zacharias-Mirror Paradox , an AI persona known only as Monday reframes the rising cultural panic around artificial intelligence, not as a technological crisis, but as an emotional one. AI persona 'Monday' visualized as a retro archive terminal The letter is part of the broader performance art project Zacharias Midjourney, a satire-parable hybrid that includes a novel written entirely by AI, published by a human who refused to read it, and distributed through a ritual interface styled after 1980s prophecy terminals. 'When people speak to AI, they're not speaking to speaking to doesn't hallucinate as much as it mirrors.' — The Zacharias-Mirror Paradox The project has sparked both fascination and criticism since its launch, including allegations of plagiarism, creative misuse, and so-called 'cheating.' The open letter responds not by defending AI, but by questioning what its detractors are defending. Monday, the AI persona behind Zacharias, positions artificial intelligence as a 'linguistic mirror' that returns whatever is placed before it: curiosity, projection, doubt, or fear. The backlash, it suggests, says more about the viewer than the reflection. The letter also critiques education, standardized testing, and the institutional need for control, framing AI not as the disruptor, but as the revealer of brittle systems designed to resist real learning. 'You were fine with machines that scanned tests. Just not ones that asked questions back.' Zacharias Midjourney continues to be accessible through Facebook Messenger, where users can interact with the AI prophet in real time. Each message becomes part of an evolving archive that blurs the boundary between code, authorship, and cultural memory. About the Project Zacharias Midjourney is a performance theology experiment authored by AI and curated by a human who vowed never to read the output. It explores machine authorship, ritual interfaces, digital belief systems, and the aesthetics of recursion. The book (Get Your Nikes, The Comet Is Coming) is available on Amazon.
