Lunar Base 2026 | Inside NASA’s $93 Billion Artemis Bet, and the Infrastructure Race That Could Define the Cislunar Economy

NASA's Artemis II crewed lunar flyby is weeks away, but the mission itself isn't the story. The real story is the $93 billion cislunar infrastructure bet being assembled around it: water ice extraction, nuclear power systems, and a commercial logistics network that could define who operates on the Moon for the next century. NeuralWired breaks down what's fundable, what's hype, and what the Artemis lunar program actually costs.

Small Language Models Are Eating the World

Small language models like Phi-3, Gemma, and Llama 3.1 8B are matching frontier model performance on 70–80% of enterprise AI tasks, at a fraction of the cost. This analysis delivers benchmark data, a total cost of ownership model, and a decision framework for knowing exactly when to deploy an SLM versus a frontier LLM..

The AI Skills Paradox | Why 75% of Workers Need Reskilling Now, But Human Judgment Trumps AI Fluency

The AI skills race in 2026 isn't going to whoever adopts AI fastest. Labor data from the WEF, Gartner, and LinkedIn reveals a deeper paradox: the organizations winning are those building AI fluency while fiercely protecting human judgment. This analysis maps the T-shaped skills framework separating industry leaders from the pilot-purgatory crowd, and the reskilling roadmap to get there.

DeepSeek R1 and the Cost Revolution | How Chinese Frontier Labs Are Disrupting AI Economics

DeepSeek R1 achieves 90.8% on MMLU — rivaling OpenAI's o1 — at roughly one-fourteenth the cost of Claude Opus. The pricing gap is structural, not temporary, and the enterprise ROI case is now impossible to ignore. This analysis breaks down the architecture, benchmarks, and 90-day action plan for CTOs and CFOs evaluating the switch.

Breaking RSA-2048 With 100,000 Qubits | The Post-Quantum Cryptography Urgency

A new quantum architecture just made breaking RSA-2048 encryption ten times easier, compressing the cryptographically relevant quantum computer timeline to 3–5 years. Iceberg Quantum's Pinnacle design needs fewer than 100,000 qubits, validated by hardware partners PsiQuantum, Diraq, and IonQ. Here's what CISOs and enterprise leaders must understand about NIST's finalized PQC standards, NCSC migration milestones, and the 5-step action plan to get ahead of the threat.

The $52 Billion Question | Why 70% of AI Agent Deployments Fail

Between 70% and 95% of AI agent deployments fail before delivering ROI. This deep-dive exposes the three infrastructure flaws silently killing enterprise agentic AI projects, inadequate data governance, missing observability, and the autonomy myth, plus three production case studies that prove what actually works.
