When Intuit shipped AI agents to 3 million customers, 85% came back. The reason, according to the company's EVP and GM: combining AI with human expertise turned out to matter more than anyone expected — not less.Marianna Tessel, the financial software company’s EVP and GM, calls this AI-HI combination a “massive ask” from its customers, noting that it provides another level of confidence and trust. “One of the things we learned that has been fascinating is really the combination of human intelligence and ar

On Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Trump v. Barbara, a case challenging President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order banning birthright citizenship. Justices seemed skeptical of the administration's argument, but by taking up birthright citizenship at all, they showed how much ground nativists have gained since Trump's first term. The 14th Amendment is […] Read more ›

Presented by OutSystems After two years of flashy AI demos, rushed agent prototypes, and breathless predictions, enterprise technology leaders are striking a more pragmatic tone in 2026. In a recent webinar hosted by OutSystems, a panel of software executives and enterprise practitioners made the case that the most consequential AI work happening now is focused on the practical matters of governance, orchestration, and iteration, along with integrating agents into the...

Processing 200,000 tokens through a large language model is expensive and slow: the longer the context, the faster the costs spiral. Researchers at Tsinghua University and Z.ai have built a technique called IndexCache that cuts up to 75% of the redundant computation in sparse attention models, delivering up to 1.82x faster time-to-first-token and 1.48x faster generation throughput at that context length.The technique applies to models using the DeepSeek Sparse Attention...

Many people have tried AI tools and walked away unimpressed. I get it — many demos promise magic, but in practice, the results can feel underwhelming.That’s why I want to write this not as a futurist prediction, but from lived experience. Over the past six months, I turned my engineering organization AI-first. I’ve shared before about the system behind that transformation — how we built the workflows, the metrics, and... Read more ›

Last week, one of our product managers (PMs) built and shipped a feature. Not spec'd it. Not filed a ticket for it. Built it, tested it, and shipped it to production. In a day.A few days earlier, our designer noticed that the visual appearance of our IDE plugins had drifted from the design system. In the old world, that meant screenshots, a JIRA ticket, a conversation to explain the intent,... 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...

“You can deceive, manipulate, and lie. That’s an inherent property of language. 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 ›

For three decades, the web has existed in a state of architectural denial. It is a platform originally conceived to share static physics papers, yet it is now tasked with rendering the most complex, interactive, and generative interfaces humanity has ever conceived. At the heart of this tension lies a single, invisible, and prohibitively expensive operation known as "layout reflow." Whenever a developer needs to know the height of a... Read more ›
