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 […]
Mistral launches OCR 3 to digitize enterprise documents, touts 74% win rate and $2-per-1,000-page pricing
Mistral AI, the French artificial intelligence company valued at €11.7 billion, unveiled its third-generation optical character recognition model on Tuesday, positioning document digitization as the critical first step enterprises must take before realizing the full potential of generative AI. The new model, called Mistral OCR 3, claims a 74% win rate against competing products when […]
AI agents fail 63% of the time on complex tasks. Patronus AI says its new ‘living’ training worlds can fix that.
Patronus AI, the artificial intelligence evaluation startup backed by $20 million from investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners and Datadog, unveiled a new training architecture Tuesday that it says represents a fundamental shift in how AI agents learn to perform complex tasks. The technology, which the company calls “Generative Simulators,” creates adaptive simulation environments that continuously […]
AI is moving to the edge – and network security needs to catch up
Presented by T-Mobile for Business Small and mid-sized businesses are adopting AI at a pace that would have seemed unrealistic even a few years ago. Smart assistants that greet customers, predictive tools that flag inventory shortages before they happen, and on-site analytics that help staff make decisions faster — these used to be features of […]
Echo raises $35M to secure the enterprise cloud’s base layer — container images — with autonomous AI agents
As enterprises accelerate the deployment of LLMs and agentic workflows, they are hitting a critical infrastructure bottleneck: the container base images powering these applications are riddled with inherited security debt. Echo, an Israeli startup, is announcing a $35 million in Series A funding today (bringing its to-date total to $50 million in funding) to fix […]
With 91% accuracy, open source Hindsight agentic memory provides 20/20 vision for AI agents stuck on failing RAG
It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn’t enough to meet the growing data requirements for agentic AI. RAG emerged in the last couple of years to become the default approach for connecting LLMs to external knowledge. The pattern is straightforward: chunk documents, embed them into vectors, store them in […]
Zoom says it aced AI’s hardest exam. Critics say it copied off its neighbors.
Zoom Video Communications, the company best known for keeping remote workers connected during the pandemic, announced last week that it had achieved the highest score ever recorded on one of artificial intelligence’s most demanding tests — a claim that sent ripples of surprise, skepticism, and genuine curiosity through the technology industry. The San Jose-based company […]
Black box AI isn’t enough: Why enterprise consulting is moving to grounded models
Presented by SAP In an era where anyone can spin up an LLM, the real differentiator isn’t the AI technology itself, but the institutional knowledge it’s grounded in. Internal and partner consultants leading operational transformation can’t risk hallucinated guidance when their recommendations impact integrated processes across supply chain, manufacturing, finance, and other core functions. “Grounded […]
Zencoder drops Zenflow, a free AI orchestration tool that pits Claude against OpenAI’s models to catch coding errors
Zencoder, the Silicon Valley startup that builds AI-powered coding agents, released a free desktop application on Monday that it says will fundamentally change how software engineers interact with artificial intelligence — moving the industry beyond the freewheeling era of “vibe coding” toward a more disciplined, verifiable approach to AI-assisted development. The product, called Zenflow, introduces […]
