999 IBM's $40B stock wipeout is built on a misconception: Translating COBOL isn't the same as modernizing it

VentureBeat
VentureBeat · 02/24/2026 17:00 EDT

On Tuesday, Anthropic published tools that let Claude read, analyze and translate legacy COBOL into modern languages like Java and Python. By the end of the trading day, investors had wiped roughly $40 billion from IBM's market cap — the company's biggest single-day drop in 25 years — pricing the announcement as an existential threat to IBM's mainframe business.The reaction was swift. It was also built on a fundamental misreading of why enterprises run mainframes in the first place.IBM's COBOL is 66 years o

Анти-флаккинес: Часть 3. Вы всё сделали правильно. Тест всё равно упал

В первых двух частях мы разобрались с Page Objects и научились управлять тестовыми данными. Но даже с чистым кодом тесты могут падать с завидной нерегулярностью. Раз в десять прогонов, чаще в CI, чем локально. Не потому что CI какой-то особенный, а потому что там может быть меньше CPU, выше latency между сервисами и куча параллельных процессов. Асинхронные проблемы никуда не деваются и локально, но более мощная машина и быстрая сеть... Read more

Обменники криптовалют в Москва-Сити, риски по сравнению с P2P-обменом

Работать с наличкой всегда было рискованно. Мы помним истории из бандитских 90-х, валютчиков на улицах с картонками «Доллары, марочки» и «котлеты» с газетной набивкой. Карманные приборы для выявления фальшивок, степени защиты в ультрафиолете. При этом был риск, что вас ограбят просто по дороге домой.Но в сегодняшних условиях цифровой диктатуры (блокировка карт и банковских счетов, взыскание налогов с населения в стиле ОПГ) наличка снова становится актуальной. Во-первых, банки блокируют карты как... Read more

Как получить палитру доминирующих цветов из изображения

Я фронтенд-разработчик, в основном работаю с React. И в одном из своих пет-проектов я столкнулся с задачей, где нужно автоматически извлекать доминирующие цвета из изображения — для генерации палитры. Начал разбираться, какие подходы вообще существуют, как это делают другие инструменты и что из этого можно реализовать прямо в браузере без тяжёлых зависимостей и серверной обработки. В итоге, получился стабильный и визуально адекватный результат даже на больших изображениях. Читать далее Read more

RPA и ИИ-агенты в Enterprise архитектуре (не вместо, а вместе)

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Сергей, я руковожу управлением операционных технологий в РГС. Недавно мы с командой обсуждали вопрос: «А что эффективнее сегодня: робот или AI-агент?». В последние годы RPA стал массовым инструментом автоматизации рутинных бизнес-процессов. При этом RPA, действующий по строго заданным сценариям, отлично справляется с многократной обработкой хорошо структурированных задач, а ИИ-агенты на основе LLM — с неструктурированными данными и рассуждениями. В enterprise-ландшафте это не конкур Read more

Enterprises building voice-enabled workflows have had limited options for production-grade transcription: closed APIs with data residency risks, or open models that trade accuracy for deployability. Cohere's new open-weight ASR model, Transcribe, is built to compete on all four key differentiators — contextual accuracy, latency, control and cost.Cohere says that Transcribe outperforms current leaders on accuracy — and unlike closed APIs, it can run on an organization's own infrastructure.Cohere, which can...

It’s a feature, not a flaw,” CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview at RSA Conference 2026. If deception is baked into language itself, every vendor trying to secure AI agents by analyzing their intent is chasing a problem that cannot be conclusively solved. Zaitsev is betting on context instead. CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor walks the... Read more
