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 Google's legacy generateContent endpoint—was perfect for simple chatbots. But as developers move toward autonomous agents that use tools, maintain complex states, and "think" over long.

A new study by Google suggests that advanced reasoning models achieve high performance by simulating multi-agent-like debates involving diverse perspectives, personality traits, and domain expertise.Their experiments demonstrate that this internal debate, which they dub “society of thought,” significantly improves model performance in complex reasoning and planning tasks. The researchers found that leading reasoning models such as DeepSeek-R1 and QwQ-32B, which are trained via reinforcement learning (RL), i Read more ›

Comcast's attempt to slow broadband customer losses still isn't stopping the bleeding as fiber and fixed wireless competition intensifies. In Q4 2025 alone, Comcast lost 181,000 broadband subscribers, even as it leans harder into wireless bundling and other business lines like Peacock and theme parks. Ars Technica reports: The Q4 net loss is more than the 176,000 loss predicted by analysts, although not as bad as the 199,000-customer loss that... Read more ›

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it received more than 1 million reports of AI-related child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in 2025. The "vast majority" of that content was reported by Amazon, which found the material in its training data, according to an investigation by Bloomberg. In addition, Amazon said only that it obtained the inappropriate content from external sources used to train its AI services and... Read more ›

Windows is in a weird spot. In its 40-year history, the operating system has weathered its fair share of missteps, but Windows 11 is testing the patience of its users in new ways. Persistent bugs, performance issues, intrusive prompts, ads, and bloatware have eroded the core Windows experience. Early system requirement decisions have also damaged […] Read more ›

Tel Aviv-based startup Factify emerged from stealth today with a $73 million seed round for an ambitious, yet quixotic mission: to bring digital documents beyond the standard formats most businesses use — .PDF, .docx, collaborative cloud files like Google Docs — and into the intelligence era.For Matan Gavish, Factify’s Founder and CEO, this isn't just a software upgrade—it is an inevitability he has been obsessed with for years."The PDF was...

Model Context Protocol has a security problem that won't go away.When VentureBeat first reported on MCP's vulnerabilities last October, the data was already alarming. Pynt's research showed that deploying just 10 MCP plug-ins creates a 92% probability of exploitation — with meaningful risk even from a single plug-in.The core flaw hasn't changed: MCP shipped without mandatory authentication. Authorization frameworks arrived six months after widespread deployment. As Merritt Baer, chief security... Read more ›

While vector databases still have many valid use cases, organizations including OpenAI are leaning on PostgreSQL to get things done.In a blog post on Thursday, OpenAI disclosed how it is using the open-source PostgreSQL database.OpenAI runs ChatGPT and its API platform for 800 million users on a single-primary PostgreSQL instance — not a distributed database, not a sharded cluster. One Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server handles all writes. Nearly 50 read... Read more ›

When Anthropic announced Monday that it was embedding nine workplace applications directly inside Claude, transforming its AI chatbot into what I earlier described as a "workplace command center," Asana was among the headliners.But while the broader launch signals a new era of AI-native productivity tools, Asana's participation reflects a deeper strategic bet — one that positions the project management company not as an AI competitor, but as the essential context...

Security teams are buying AI defenses that don't work. Researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind published findings in October 2025 that should stop every CISO mid-procurement. Their paper, "The Attacker Moves Second: Stronger Adaptive Attacks Bypass Defenses Against Llm Jailbreaks and Prompt Injections," tested 12 published AI defenses, with most claiming near-zero attack success rates. The research team achieved bypass rates above 90% on most defenses. The implication for... Read more ›

The industry consensus is that 2026 will be the year of "agentic AI." We are rapidly moving past chatbots that simply summarize text. We are entering the era of autonomous agents that execute tasks. We expect them to book flights, diagnose system outages, manage cloud infrastructure and personalize media streams in real-time.As a technology executive overseeing platforms that serve 30 million concurrent users during massive global events like the Olympics...

One of the biggest constraints currently facing AI builders who want to deploy agents in service of their individual or enterprise goals is the "working memory" required to manage complex, multi-stage engineering projects.Typically, when a AI agent operates purely on a stream of text or voice-based conversation, it lacks the structural permanence to handle dependencies. It knows what to do, but it often forgets why it is doing it, or... Read more ›
