About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

CoreWeave Launches First Publicly Available Serverless Reinforcement Learning Capability to Build Reliable AI Agents

First Joint Offering from Weights & Biases and OpenPipe, Provides Fast, Easy Way to Train with RL at Scale

CoreWeave, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWV), the AI Hyperscaler™, today announced the launch of Serverless RL, a fast and easy way to train AI agents using reinforcement learning (RL).

The first publicly available fully managed RL capability, Serverless RL scales seamlessly to dozens of GPUs, requires only a Weights & Biases account and API key to get started, and delivers faster feedback loops with lower barriers to entry for developers. This new capability launches just weeks after CoreWeave’s acquisition of OpenPipe, combining its leading RL tools with the Weights & Biases AI developer platform, powered by CoreWeave’s AI cloud.

Reinforcement learning is critical to making AI agents more reliable, but it has historically been out of reach for most organizations. Running RL ordinarily requires access to costly infrastructure, deep expertise, and time-consuming workflows that slow down iteration. Serverless RL helps to remove those constraints so more enterprises can continuously improve AI agents and deliver a better customer experience.

“Being fast to market is critical, and equally important is the elegance and ease of use we are now giving AI pioneers across labs, enterprises, and startups to fine-tune large language models and build AI agents with confidence,” said Peter Salanki, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of CoreWeave. “We are integrating infrastructure, RL frameworks, and developer tools for the AI era to help enterprises of any size unlock the value of AI agents. This sets CoreWeave apart.”

Benchmarks show nearly 1.4x faster training times and 40 percent lower costs compared to local H100 GPU environments, with no impact on model quality. This was achieved by solving the long-standing “straggler problem” in RL training. By multiplexing many training runs across CoreWeave’s production-grade cluster environment, the system maintains high utilization in aggregate and only charges for incremental tokens generated. This delivers both improved throughput and significantly reduced cost in practice.

Customers ranging from AI-native companies to Fortune 500 enterprises are already showing strong interest in Serverless RL. For example, SquadStack.ai, an AI-powered contact center platform that delivers hyper-personalized experiences for leading consumer brands, will use Serverless RL to enhance customer engagement. As will QA Wolf, a hybrid platform that helps technology teams ship better software faster.

“We’re excited about Serverless RL on CoreWeave to improve the quality of our agents, and eager for instant GPU access without the burden of managing infrastructure ourselves,” said Jon Perl, CEO of QA Wolf.

CoreWeave is committed to serving as the essential AI cloud used by builders to develop and deploy AI across every industry. The company continues to add capabilities to its platform, including through acquisitions such as OpenPipe for reinforcement learning, Weights & Biases for agent and model iteration, evaluation, monitoring, and inference, and this week, adding Monolith, a pioneer in AI and machine learning for complex physics and engineering challenges.
