The chatbot era may have just received its obituary. Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw — the open-source AI agent that took the developer world by storm over the past month, raising concerns among enterprise security teams — announced over the weekend that he is joining OpenAI to "work on bringing agents to everyone." The OpenClaw project itself will transition to an independent foundation, though OpenAI is already sponsoring it and may have influence over its direction.The move represents OpenAI's

Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders have approved Paramount Skydance's takeover bid, moving the massive Hollywood merger a step closer to completion.

For several weeks, a growing chorus of developers and AI power users claimed that Anthropic’s flagship models were losing their edge. Users across GitHub, X, and Reddit reported a phenomenon they described as "AI shrinkflation"—a perceived degradation where Claude seemed less capable of sustained reasoning, more prone to hallucinations, and increasingly wasteful with tokens. Critics pointed to a measurable shift in behavior, alleging that the model had moved from a... Read more ›

Today Nothing has unveiled Essential Voice, a speech-to-text engine that promises to deliver "clear, ready-to-send text in real time". Thus, it improves upon the traditional dictation that, while turning speech into text, includes all the ums, uhs, and ahs, all of your stutters, and sometimes zero punctuation (or, perhaps even worse, wrong punctuation). Essential Voice promises to give you "the speed and ease of talking with the clarity and flexibility... Read more ›

For the past year, early adopters of autonomous AI agents have been forced to play a murky game of chance: keep the agent in a useless sandbox or give it the keys to the kingdom and hope it doesn't hallucinate a catastrophic "delete all" command.To unlock the true utility of an agent—scheduling meetings, triaging emails, or managing cloud infrastructure—users have had to grant these models raw API keys and broad...

Anthropic today launched Claude Design, a new product from its Anthropic Labs division that allows users to create polished visual work — designs, interactive prototypes, slide decks, one-pagers, and marketing collateral — through conversational prompts and fine-grained editing controls. The release, available immediately in research preview to all paid Claude subscribers, is the company's most aggressive expansion beyond its core language model business and into the application layer that has...

A rogue AI agent at Meta passed every identity check and still exposed sensitive data to unauthorized employees in March. Two weeks later, Mercor, a $10 billion AI startup, confirmed a supply-chain breach through LiteLLM. Both are traced to the same structural gap. Monitoring without enforcement, enforcement without isolation. A VentureBeat three-wave survey of 108 qualified enterprises found that the gap is not an edge case. It is the most... Read more ›

The standard guidelines for building large language models (LLMs) optimize only for training costs and ignore inference costs. This poses a challenge for real-world applications that use inference-time scaling techniques to increase the accuracy of model responses, such as drawing multiple reasoning samples from a model at deployment.To bridge this gap, researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford University have introduced Train-to-Test (T2) scaling laws, a framework that jointly optimizes...

Adversaries injected malicious prompts into legitimate AI tools at more than 90 organizations in 2025, stealing credentials and cryptocurrency. Every one of those compromised tools could read data, and none of them could rewrite a firewall rule.The autonomous SOC agents shipping now can. That escalation, from compromised tools that read data to autonomous agents that rewrite infrastructure, has not been exploited in production at scale yet. But the architectural conditions...

Looking at enterprise AI adoption, VentureBeat has anecdotally observed a fairly wide divergence when it comes to specific roles: For those who build—engineers and developers—the arrival of AI has been transformative, moving through the workflow with the speed of tools like Claude Code and Cursor to automate the heavy lifting of syntax and architecture. Yet, for those who sell, the "revenue stack" has remained a fragmented collection of data silos,... Read more ›

A security researcher, working with colleagues at Johns Hopkins University, opened a GitHub pull request, typed a malicious instruction into the PR title, and watched Anthropic’s Claude Code Security Review action post its own API key as a comment. The same prompt injection worked on Google’s Gemini CLI Action and GitHub’s Copilot Agent (Microsoft). No external infrastructure required.Aonan Guan, the researcher who discovered the vulnerability, alongside Johns Hopkins colleagues Zhengyu... Read more ›

Most orchestration frameworks were built for agents that run for seconds or minutes. Now that agents are running for hours — and in some cases days — those frameworks are starting to crack.Several model providers, such as Anthropic with Claude Code and OpenAI with Codex, introduced early support for long-horizon agents through multi-session tasks, subagents and background execution. However, these systems sometimes assume agents are still operating within bounded-time workflows... Read more ›

It's been only a few months since OpenAI released its last big improvement to AI image generations in ChatGPT and through its application programming interface (API) — namely, a new image generation model known as GPT-Image-1.5, released in December 2025, which brought about improved instruction following, colors, and lighting.Now, after weeks of testing, the company that kicked off the generative AI boom is unveiling a far more dramatic and even...
