Presented by DigitalOceanFrom refactoring codebases to debugging production code, AI agents are already proving their value. But scaling them in production remains the exception, not the rule. In DigitalOcean’s 2026 Currents research report, based on a survey of more than 1,100 developers, CTOs, and founders, 67% of organizations using agents report productivity gains. Meanwhile, 60% of respondents say applications and agents represent the greatest long-term value in the AI stack. Yet, only 10% are scaling.

On March 2, the justices will hear their second major Second Amendment case of the Supreme Court’s current term. United States v. Hemani asks whether Congress may make it a crime for an “unlawful user” of marijuana to possess a gun. If you are a lawyer trying to guess how the Court will rule in […] Read more ›

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is pushing back on growing concerns about AI's environmental footprint, dismissing claims about ChatGPT's water consumption as "totally fake" and arguing that the fairer way to measure AI's energy use is to compare it against humans. In an interview with Indian Express, Altman acknowledged that evaporative cooling in data centers once made water usage a real concern but said that is no longer the case, calling... Read more ›

Just over a year into President Donald Trump’s first term, there had been roughly 10,000 protests nationwide during the first Trump presidency. By the same point in Trump’s second term — January 31, 2026 — there had been more than 40,000. They were, as you might expect, overwhelmingly in opposition to the Trump administration’s policies.

Americans are in serious debt. Together, we owe nearly $1.3 trillion in credit card debt alone; our average balance is around $6,500 each. Owing that much can be scary, not to mention overwhelming. And all of that debt has created some seriously strange political bedfellows: President Donald Trump has proposed capping credit card interest rates […] Read more ›

Last November, the House Oversight Committee had just released 20,000 pages of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, and Luke Igel and some friends were clicking around, trying to follow the threads of conversation through garbled email threads and a PDF viewer that was, frankly, "gross." In the coming months, the Department of Justice […] 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 ›

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... 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 ›

For four weeks starting January 21, Microsoft's Copilot read and summarized confidential emails despite every sensitivity label and DLP policy telling it not to. The enforcement points broke inside Microsoft’s own pipeline, and no security tool in the stack flagged it. Among the affected organizations was the U.K.'s National Health Service, which logged it as INC46740412 — a signal of how far the failure reached into regulated healthcare environments. Microsoft...

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 ›

Building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for AI agents often involves using multiple layers and technologies for structured data, vectors and graph information. In recent months it has also become increasingly clear that agentic AI systems need memory, sometimes referred to as contextual memory, to operate effectively.The complexity and synchronization of having different data layers to enable context can lead to performance and accuracy issues. It's a challenge that SurrealDB is... Read more ›

Alibaba dropped Qwen3.5 earlier this week, timed to coincide with the Lunar New Year, and the headline numbers alone are enough to make enterprise AI buyers stop and pay attention.The new flagship open-weight model — Qwen3.5-397B-A17B — packs 397 billion total parameters but activates only 17 billion per token. It is claiming benchmark wins against Alibaba's own previous flagship, Qwen3-Max, a model the company itself has acknowledged exceeded one trillion... Read more ›
