Claude for Excel and Claude for PowerPoint can now be accessed either t

Anthropic's tightly controlled rollout of Claude Mythos has taken an awkward turn. After spending weeks insisting the AI model is so capable at cybersecurity that it is too dangerous to release publicly, it appears the model fell into the wrong hands anyway.

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a widely used international environmental standard for measuring and reporting emissions, is considering changes to how certain types of the emissions are reported. Advocates for the new guidance argue that the current rules make it too easy for businesses to overstate their commitments to environmentally friendly operations, such as being powered by renewable energy or making progress toward net-zero emissions. Today, some major tech companies joined... Read more ›

The journey from a laboratory hypothesis to a pharmacy shelf is one of the most grueling marathons in modern industry, typically spanning 10 to 15 years and billions of dollars in investment. Progress is often stymied not just by the inherent mysteries of biology, but by the "fragmented and difficult to scale" workflows that force researchers to manually pivot between the actual experimental design equipment, software, and databases.But OpenAI is...

Enterprise AI is entering a new phase — one where the central question is no longer what can be built, but how to make the most of our AI investment.At VentureBeat’s latest AI Impact Tour session, Brian Gracely, director of portfolio strategy at Red Hat, described the operational reality inside large organizations: AI sprawl, rising inference costs, and limited visibility into what those investments are actually returning.It’s the “Day 2”...

Salesforce on Wednesday unveiled the most ambitious architectural transformation in its 27-year history, introducing "Headless 360" — a sweeping initiative that exposes every capability in its platform as an API, MCP tool, or CLI command so AI agents can operate the entire system without ever opening a browser.The announcement, made at the company's annual TDX developer conference in San Francisco, ships more than 100 new tools and skills immediately available...

For the past year, early adopters of autonomous AI agents have been forced to play a murky game of chance: keep the agent in a useless sandbox or give it the keys to the kingdom and hope it doesn't hallucinate a catastrophic "delete all" command.To unlock the true utility of an agent—scheduling meetings, triaging emails, or managing cloud infrastructure—users have had to grant these models raw API keys and broad...

A rogue AI agent at Meta passed every identity check and still exposed sensitive data to unauthorized employees in March. Two weeks later, Mercor, a $10 billion AI startup, confirmed a supply-chain breach through LiteLLM. Both are traced to the same structural gap. Monitoring without enforcement, enforcement without isolation. A VentureBeat three-wave survey of 108 qualified enterprises found that the gap is not an edge case. It is the most... Read more ›

The standard guidelines for building large language models (LLMs) optimize only for training costs and ignore inference costs. This poses a challenge for real-world applications that use inference-time scaling techniques to increase the accuracy of model responses, such as drawing multiple reasoning samples from a model at deployment.To bridge this gap, researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford University have introduced Train-to-Test (T2) scaling laws, a framework that jointly optimizes...

Adversaries injected malicious prompts into legitimate AI tools at more than 90 organizations in 2025, stealing credentials and cryptocurrency. Every one of those compromised tools could read data, and none of them could rewrite a firewall rule.The autonomous SOC agents shipping now can.

Looking at enterprise AI adoption, VentureBeat has anecdotally observed a fairly wide divergence when it comes to specific roles: For those who build—engineers and developers—the arrival of AI has been transformative, moving through the workflow with the speed of tools like Claude Code and Cursor to automate the heavy lifting of syntax and architecture. Yet, for those who sell, the "revenue stack" has remained a fragmented collection of data silos,... Read more ›

No external infrastructure required.Aonan Guan, the researcher who discovered the vulnerability, alongside Johns Hopkins colleagues Zhengyu... Read more ›
