Every button, menu, and dashboard existed to translate a person’s intention into a machine’s action. But a small startup based in San Francisco and Zurich believes that era is ending — and that the future belongs to companies that build software not for people, but for the artificial intelligence agents that increasingly act on their behalf.Manufact, a three-person company that emerged f

Tesla's robotaxis are reportedly remotely driven by humans, sometimes

In a letter shared with Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Tesla admitted that its robotaxis are sometimes driven remotely by human operators, Wired reports. Competing self-driving car companies sometimes rely on human operators to tell robotaxi software how to get itself unstuck, but letting operators actually drive those cars remotely is more unusual."​​As a redundancy measure in rare cases … [remote assistance operators] are authorized to temporarily assume direct vehicle control...

Standard RAG pipelines break when enterprises try to use them for long-term, multi-session LLM agent deployments. This is a critical limitation as demand for persistent AI assistants grows.xMemory, a new technique developed by researchers at King’s College London and The Alan Turing Institute, solves this by organizing conversations into a searchable hierarchy of semantic themes.Experiments show that xMemory improves answer quality and long-range reasoning across various LLMs while cutting inference...

Enterprise data teams moving agentic AI into production are hitting a consistent failure point at the data tier. Agents built across a vector store, a relational database, a graph store and a lakehouse require sync pipelines to keep context current. Under production load, that context goes stale. Oracle, whose database infrastructure runs the transaction systems of 97% of Fortune Global 100 companies by the company's own count, is now making...

As Large Language Models (LLMs) expand their context windows to process massive documents and intricate conversations, they encounter a brutal hardware reality known as the "Key-Value (KV) cache bottleneck."Every word a model processes must be stored as a high-dimensional vector in high-speed memory.
