518 Google's Opal just quietly showed enterprise teams the new blueprint for building AI agents

For the past year, the enterprise AI community has been locked in a debate about how much freedom to give AI agents. Too little, and you get expensive workflow automation that barely justifies the "agent" label. Too much, and you get the kind of data-wiping disasters that plagued early adopters of tools like OpenClaw. This week, Google Labs released an update to Opal, its no-code visual agent builder, that quietly lands on an answer — and it carries lessons that every IT leader planning an agent strategy sh

Началось: РКН запустил автоматический бот по сайтам — проверки ужесточили, предпринимателям массово шлют предписания

Осенью 2025 года заработал новый закон о персданных. Ввели новые требования и штрафы, достигающие 15 000 000 рублей.И если в ноябре того года «письма счастья» были единичными, то теперь РКН запустил автоматический бот и проверки стали массовыми. Я как юрист уже успел насмотреться всякого от РКН. Давайте на примере реальных предписаний разберем, как проверить себя и свою компанию, чтобы не влететь. Читать далее Read more

Средние модели, большие надежды: испытываем гибридные LLM

Привет, я Дмитрий, занимаюсь развитием LLMaaS. Перед нашей командой встала задача подбора «средней» языковой модели с примерно 9B параметров для обслуживания клиентских задач: оперативные чат-боты, саммаризация документов, генерация кода и аналитика на длинных контекстах. В таких сценариях критичны не только качество ответов, но и скорость, и стоимость инференса — ведь модель должна работать на одном GPU и при этом выдерживать заданный поток запросов.Классические подходы — взять проверенную плотную модель в Read more

Enterprise teams building multi-agent AI systems may be paying a compute premium for gains that don't hold up under equal-budget conditions. New Stanford University research finds that single-agent systems match or outperform multi-agent architectures on complex reasoning tasks when both are given the same thinking token budget.However, multi-agent systems come with the added baggage of computational overhead. Because they typically use longer reasoning traces and multiple interactions, it is often... Read more
