Agents built on top of today's models often break with simple changes — a new library, a workflow modification — and require a human engineer to fix it. That's one of the most persistent challenges in deploying AI for the enterprise: creating agents that can adapt to dynamic environments without constant hand-holding. While today's models are powerful, they are largely static.To address this, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have developed Group-Evolving Agents (GEA), a new framewo

Bixby isn’t typically part of the conversation when it comes to virtual assistants for mobile devices, but Samsung is clearly hoping that you would use it more. The company has launched the latest version of Bixby with the new One UI 8.5 beta, and it has been tweaked to work as a “conversational agent.” Samsung says you’ll now be able to talk to it and give it tasks using natural...

A Redditor travelling through Napa Valley on 18th February 2026 was lucky enough to see the iconic "Bliss" hill in a form close to the original wallpaper. This terrain is usually covered in vineyards, so it doesn't look as picturesque, but during rare times of the year, you can catch glimpses of its unaltered beauty. Read more ›

Apple has lined up its first event of the year. Already! It’s taking place in New York City on March 4 at 9AM ET, but the company hasn’t confirmed if it will stream the media event. It seems likely the event will be mainly iPads and MacBooks — so business as usual. However, it could include new entry-level MacBooks in a fresh array of colors. I think that’s what everyone’s...

The US State Department is building a web portal, where Europeans and anyone else can see online content banned by their governments, according to Reuters. It was supposed to be launched at Munich Security Conference last month, but some state department officials reportedly voiced their concerns about the project. The portal will be hosted on freedom.gov, which currently just shows the image above. “Freedom is Coming,” the homepage reads. “Information... Read more ›

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... Read more ›

Anthropic on Tuesday released Claude Sonnet 4.6, a model that amounts to a seismic repricing event for the AI industry. It delivers near-flagship intelligence at mid-tier cost, and it lands squarely in the middle of an unprecedented corporate rush to deploy AI agents and automated coding tools.The model is a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. It features a 1M token context... Read more ›

As AI-powered coding tools flood the market, a critical weakness has emerged: by default, as with most LLM chat sessions, they are temporary — as soon as you close a session and start a new one, the tool forgets everything you were just working on. Developers have worked around this by having coding tools and agents save their state to markdown and text files, but this solution is hacky at... Read more ›

The average Fortune 1000 company has more than 30,000 employees and engineering, sales and marketing teams with hundreds of members. Equally large teams exist in government, science and defense organizations. And yet, research shows that the ideal size for a productive real-time conversation is only about 4 to 7 people.The reason is simple: As groups grow larger, each person has less opportunity to speak and must wait longer to respond,...

From miles away across the desert, the Great Pyramid looks like a perfect, smooth geometry — a sleek triangle pointing to the stars. Stand at the base, however, and the illusion of smoothness vanishes. You see massive, jagged blocks of limestone. It is not a slope; it is a staircase.Remember this the next time you hear futurists talking about exponential growth.Intel’s co-founder Gordon Moore (Moore's Law) is famously quoted for...

Traditional ETL tools like dbt or Fivetran prepare data for reporting: structured analytics and dashboards with stable schemas. AI applications need something different: preparing messy, evolving operational data for model inference in real-time. Empromptu calls this distinction "inference integrity" versus "reporting integrity." Instead of treating data preparation as a separate discipline, golden pipelines integrate normalization directly into the AI application workflow, collapsing what typically require Read more ›

The gap between ransomware threats and the defenses meant to stop them is getting worse, not better. Ivanti’s 2026 State of Cybersecurity Report found that the preparedness gap widened by an average of 10 points year over year across every threat category the firm tracks. Ransomware hit the widest spread: 63% of security professionals rate it a high or critical threat, but just 30% say they are “very prepared” to... Read more ›

Typically, when building, training and deploying AI, enterprises prioritize accuracy. And that, no doubt, is important; but in highly complex, nuanced industries like law, accuracy alone isn’t enough. Higher stakes mean higher standards: Models outputs must be assessed for relevancy, authority, citation accuracy and hallucination rates. To tackle this immense task, LexisNexis has evolved beyond standard retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to graph RAG and agentic graphs; it has also built out... Read more ›

Your developers are already running OpenClaw at home. Censys tracked the open-source AI agent from roughly 1,000 instances to over 21,000 publicly exposed deployments in under a week. Bitdefender’s GravityZone telemetry, drawn specifically from business environments, confirmed the pattern security leaders feared: employees deploying OpenClaw on corporate machines with single-line install commands, granting autonomous agents shell access, file system privileges, and OAuth tokens to Slack, Gmail, and SharePoi Read more ›
