Amazon’s new AI can code for days without human help. What does that mean for software engineers?
Amazon Web Services on Tuesday announced a new class of artificial intelligence systems called “frontier agents” that can work autonomously for hours or even days without human intervention, representing one of the most ambitious attempts yet to automate the full software development lifecycle. The announcement, made during AWS CEO Matt Garman’s keynote address at the […]
Arcee aims to reboot U.S. open source AI with new Trinity models released under Apache 2.0
For much of 2025, the frontier of open-weight language models has been defined not in Silicon Valley or New York City, but in Beijing and Hangzhou. Chinese research labs including Alibaba’s Qwen, DeepSeek, Moonshot and Baidu have rapidly set the pace in developing large-scale, open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models — often with permissive licenses and leading […]
With AI browsers creating fresh security and privacy concerns, Norton Neo is the first to enter with a safety-first approach
The AI browser wars are heating up. OpenAI and other AI companies like Perplexity have gotten a lot of attention with their new AI-first and agentic browsers. They’re being positioned as direct competition to Google, which currently holds a 70% share of the market with its Chrome browser. As the incumbent, Google has been slower […]
AWS goes beyond prompt-level safety with automated reasoning in AgentCore
AWS is leveraging automated reasoning, which uses math-based verification, to build out new capabilities in its Amazon Bedrock AgentCore platform as the company digs deeper into the agentic AI ecosystem. Announced during its annual re: Invent conference in Las Vegas, AWS is adding three new capabilities to AgentCore: “policy,” “evaluations” and “episodic memory.” The new […]
Mistral launches Mistral 3, a family of open models designed to run on laptops, drones, and edge devices
Mistral AI, Europe’s most prominent artificial intelligence startup, is releasing its most ambitious product suite to date: a family of 10 open-source models designed to run everywhere from smartphones and autonomous drones to enterprise cloud systems, marking a major escalation in the company’s challenge to both U.S. tech giants and surging Chinese competitors. The Mistral […]
Ascentra Labs raises $2 million to help consultants use AI instead of all-night Excel marathons
While artificial intelligence has stormed into law firms and accounting practices with billion-dollar startups like Harvey leading the charge, the global consulting industry—a $250 billion behemoth—has remained stubbornly analog. A London-based startup founded by former McKinsey consultants is betting $2 million that it can crack open this resistant market, one Excel spreadsheet at a time. […]
OpenAGI emerges from stealth with an AI agent that it claims crushes OpenAI and Anthropic
A stealth artificial intelligence startup founded by an MIT researcher emerged this morning with an ambitious claim: its new AI model can control computers better than systems built by OpenAI and Anthropic — at a fraction of the cost. OpenAGI, led by chief executive Zengyi Qin, released Lux, a foundation model designed to operate computers […]
Agent coordination is the missing piece in AI commerce — new AWS and Visa blueprints target the gap
With some needed infrastructure now being developed for agentic commerce, enterprises will want to figure out how to participate in this new form of buying and selling. But it remains a fragmented Wild West with competing payment protocols, and it’s unclear what enterprises need to do to prepare. More cloud providers and AI model companies […]
Hybrid cloud security must be rebuilt for an AI war it was never designed to fight
Hybrid cloud security was built before the current era of automated, machine-based cyberattacks that take just milliseconds to execute and minutes to deliver devastating impacts to infrastructure. The architectures and tech stacks every enterprise depends on, from batch-based detection to siloed tools to 15-minute response windows, stood a better chance of defending against attackers moving […]
Ontology is the real guardrail: How to stop AI agents from misunderstanding your business
Enterprises are investing billions of dollars in AI agents and infrastructure to transform business processes. However, we are seeing limited success in real-world applications, often due to the inability of agents to truly understand business data, policies and processes. While we manage the integrations well with technologies like API management, model context protocol (MCP) and […]
