Google releases FunctionGemma: a tiny edge model that can control mobile devices with natural language
While Gemini 3 is still making waves, Google’s not taking the foot off the gas in terms of releasing new models. Yesterday, the company released FunctionGemma, a specialized 270-million parameter AI model designed to solve one of the most persistent bottlenecks in modern application development: reliability at the edge. Unlike general-purpose chatbots, FunctionGemma is engineered […]
Even Google and Replit struggle to deploy AI agents reliably — here’s why
2025 was supposed to be the year of the AI agent, right? Not quite, acknowledge Google Cloud and Replit — two big players in the AI agent space and partners in the “vibe coding” movement — at a recent VB Impact Series event. Even as they build out agentic tools themselves, leaders from the two […]
Palona goes vertical, launches Vision, Workflow: 4 key lessons for AI builders
Building an enterprise AI company on a “foundation of shifting sand” is the central challenge for founders today, according to the leadership at Palona AI. Today, the Palo Alto-based startup—led by former Google and Meta engineering veterans—is making a decisive vertical push into the restaurant and hospitality space with today’s launch of Palona Vision and […]

Anthropic said on Wednesday it would release its Agent Skills technology as an open standard, a strategic bet that sharing its approach to making AI assistants more capable will cement the company’s position in the fast-evolving enterprise software market. The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company also unveiled organization-wide management tools for enterprise customers and a […]
Enterprise AI coding grows teeth: GPT‑5.2‑Codex weaves security into large-scale software refactors
With the recent release of GPT 5.2, OpenAI updated other related models, including its popular coding model Codex, bringing more agentic use cases to its fold. GPT-5.2-Codex, which OpenAI called in a blog post “the most advanced agentic coding model yet for complex, real-world software engineer,” has been optimized for long-horizon work with agents and […]
JP Morgan’s AI adoption hit 50% of employees. The secret? A connectivity-first architecture
When Derek Waldron and his technical team at JPMorgan Chase first launched an LLM suite with personal assistants two-and-a-half years ago, they weren’t sure what to expect. That wasn’t long after the game-changing emergence of ChatGPT, but in enterprise, skepticism was still high. Surprisingly, employees opted into the internal platform organically — and quickly. Within […]
OpenAI now accepting ChatGPT app submissions from third-party devs, launches App Directory

This means the 800 million+ users of OpenAI’s hit chatbot can search for, […]
Gemini 3 Flash arrives with reduced costs and latency — a powerful combo for enterprises
Enterprises can now harness the power of a large language model that’s near that of the state-of-the-art Google’s Gemini 3 Pro, but at a fraction of the cost and with increased speed, thanks to the newly released Gemini 3 Flash. The model joins the flagship Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini 3 Deep Think, and Gemini Agent, […]
Why Google’s new Interactions API is such a big deal for AI developers
For the last two years, the fundamental unit of generative AI development has been the “completion.” You send a text prompt to a model, it sends text back, and the transaction ends. If you want to continue the conversation, you have to send the entire history back to the model again. This “stateless” architecture—embodied by […]
