Meta Platforms' latest annual report contained an unusual, cautionary note for investors. From a report: The tech giant's auditor, Ernst & Young, raised a red flag over the financial engineering Meta used to keep a $27 billion data-center project off its balance sheet. While EY ultimately blessed Meta's accounting treatment, the firm flagged it as a "critical audit matter." This means it was one of the hardest, riskiest judgments the... Read more ›

Fraud protection is a race against scale. For instance, Mastercard’s network processes roughly 160 billion transactions a year, and experiences surges of 70,000 transactions a second during peak periods (like the December holiday rush). Finding the fraudulent purchases among those — without chasing false alarms — is an incredible task, which is why fraudsters have been able to game the system. But now, sophisticated AI models can probe down to... Read more ›

The "OpenClaw moment" represents the first time autonomous AI agents have successfully "escaped the lab" and moved into the hands of the general workforce. Originally developed by Austrian engineer Peter Steinberger as a hobby project called "Clawdbot" in November 2025, the framework went through a rapid branding evolution to "Moltbot" before settling on "OpenClaw" in late January 2026. Unlike previous chatbots, OpenClaw is designed with "hands"—the ability to execute shell... Read more ›

Presented by F5As enterprises pour billions into GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, many are discovering that their expensive compute resources sit idle far more than expected. The culprit isn't the hardware. It’s the often-invisible data delivery layer between storage and compute that's starving GPUs of the information they need."While people are focusing their attention, justifiably so, on GPUs, because they're very significant investments, those are rarely the limiting factor," says...

The deep learning revolution has a curious blind spot: the spreadsheet. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have mastered the nuances of human prose and image generators have conquered the digital canvas, the structured, relational data that underpins the global economy — the rows and columns of ERP systems, CRMs, and financial ledgers — has so far been treated as just another file format similar to text or PDFs.That's left enterprises...

Today's AI challenge is about agent coordination, context, and collaboration.

Until recently, the practice of building AI agents has been a bit like training a long-distance runner with a thirty-second memory. Yes, you could give your AI models tools and instructions, but after a few dozen interactions — several laps around the track, to extend our running analogy — it would inevitably lose context and start hallucinating. With OpenAI's latest updates to its Responses API — the application programming interface... Read more ›
