We’re releasing a set of changes that builds on the foundation of our earlier WireGuard performance work, significantly improving UDP throughput on Linux. As with the previous work, we intend to upstream these changes to WireGuard. Our changes improve throughput for HTTP/3, QUIC, and other UDP-based applications through the use of segmentation offloads. UDP throughput over Tailscale increases 4x on bare metal Linux, and pushes past (for now) the in-kernel WireGuard implementation on that hardware. You can experience these improvements in Tailscale v1.54.

Companies have a growing problem of information overload regarding markets and competitors, which often prevents the C-suite from making the best decisions available given the data at its disposal. While generative AI is often pitched as a way to create new content (information in, message out), it can work just as well — or depending on the application, even better — in reverse (message in, information out). And this counterintuitive application of generative AI is starting to enable leaders in marketing, strategy, and competitive intelligence to unearth strategically relevant insights about their competitors from documents made publicly available by those competitors. In other words, generative AI can become the watchful eye that spots useful insights in the field of competitive intelligence.
