Claude’s next enterprise battle is not models: it’s the agent control plane
New VB Pulse data shows Microsoft and OpenAI leading enterprise agent orchestration, but Anthropic’s first measurable foothold points to a larger fight over who controls the infrastructure where AI agents run. For the last two years, the enterprise AI race has mostly been framed as a model war: OpenAI’s GPT series versus Anthropic’s Claude versus […]
Developers can now debug and evaluate AI agents locally with Raindrop’s open source tool Workshop
Observability startup Raindrop AI’s new open source, MIT Licensed “Workshop” tool, launched today, gives developers something that they’ve likely wanted, perhaps subconsciously, since the agentic AI era kicked off in earnest last year: a local debugger and evaluation tool specifically designed for AI agents, allowing devs to see all the traces of what their agent […]
Cerebras stock nearly doubles on day one as AI chipmaker hits $100 billion — what it means for AI infrastructure
Cerebras Systems, the Silicon Valley chipmaker that built the world’s largest commercial AI processor, erupted onto the Nasdaq on Wednesday, opening at $350 per share — nearly double its $185 IPO price — and rocketing past a $100 billion market capitalization in its first hours of trading.

Agent authorization is broken — and authentication passing makes it worse
Anthony Grieco, Cisco’s SVP and chief security and trust officer, did not hesitate when VentureBeat asked whether rogue agent incidents are reaching Cisco’s customer base. “A hundred percent. We see them regularly,” Grieco told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview at RSAC 2026. “I’ve heard some that I can’t repeat, but they do get to the […]
Claude Code’s ‘/goals’ separates the agent that works from the one that decides it’s done
A code migration agent finishes its run, and the pipeline looks green. But several pieces were never compiled — and it took days to catch. That’s not a model failure; that’s an agent deciding it was done before it actually was. Many enterprises are now seeing that production AI agent pipelines fail not because of […]
Enterprises can now train custom AI models from production workflows — no ML team required
Every query an enterprise AI application processes, every correction a subject matter expert makes to its output — that interaction is training data. Most organizations are not capturing it. The production workflows companies have already built are generating a continuous signal that improves AI models, and it is disappearing. San Francisco-based Empromptu AI on Thursday […]
OpenAI’s AI data agent, built by two engineers, now serves 4,000 employees — and the company says anyone can replicate it
When an OpenAI finance analyst needed to compare revenue across geographies and customer cohorts last year, it took hours of work — hunting through 70,000 datasets, writing SQL queries, verifying table schemas. Today, the same analyst types a plain-English question into Slack and gets a finished chart in minutes. The tool behind that transformation was […]

Endor Labs, the application security startup backed by more than $208 million in venture funding, today launched AURI, a platform that embeds real-time security intelligence directly into the AI coding tools that are reshaping how software gets built. The product is available free to individual developers and integrates natively with popular AI coding assistants including […]
Intuit is betting its 40 years of small business data can outlast the SaaSpocalypse
Intuit has lost around a third of its market cap since the beginning of the year. It’s not alone. Many established SaaS players have seen their stock prices fall in recent months, including Adobe and IBM — the latter experiencing its most significant one-day drop (roughly $40 billion) with Anthropic’s announcement that Claude could now […]

Earlier today, e-commerce giant Alibaba’s Qwen Team of AI researchers, focused primarily on developing and releasing to the world a growing family of powerful and capable Qwen open source language and multimodal AI models, unveiled its […]
