The vector database category is undergoing a shift in response to the needs of agentic AI. The retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-to-vector database pipeline doesn't cut it anymore; agentic AI requires a different approach that incorporates context. VentureBeat's Q1 2026 Pulse survey underscores this trend: Every standalone vector database is losing adoption share, while hybrid retrieval intent has tripled to 33.3%, the fastest-growing strategic position in the dataset.Vector database pioneer Pinecone rec

Если коротко: с 1 сентября 2023 года 1С-Битрикс перестал отдавать полные резервные копии облачных порталов. Привычный сценарий переезда на коробку от этого сломался целиком.Раньше всё было просто. Покупаешь коробочную лицензию, пишешь в поддержку ключ продукта, тебе в назначенную дату готовят бэкап, ты разворачиваешь его на своём сервере, неиспользованные дни облачной подписки добавляют к сроку коробки. Одна операция, по сути копирование файлов и базы.Сейчас так не выйдет. Причина у вендора техническая... Read more ›

Большинство механизмов канального уровня создавались прежде всего для обеспечения связности, масштабируемости и удобства администрирования сети. Безопасность зачастую была не основной целью их разработки. Поэтому многие протоколы и механизмы внутри Ethernet-сегмента по-прежнему основаны на доверии между устройствами.А там, где существует доверие, почти всегда появляются способы им злоупотребить.В этой части мы посмотрим на канальный уровень глазами атакующего и разберём, почему наличие коммутатора ещё не де Read more ›

A flaw in Apple's Hide My Email service can reportedly allow almost anyone to uncover the real email address behind a generated alias, and Apple has failed to address it for more than a year since it was first reported. 404 Media is withholding the technical specifics of the vulnerability because it remains exploitable, but the publication verified the issue this week using one of its own Hide My Email...

OpenAI and Broadcom this morning unveiled their first custom AI accelerator chip named "Jalapeño," positioning it is as a purpose-built processor for large language model (LLM) inference, rather than the more general GPUs offered by the likes of Nvidia or AMD. According to its creators, Jalapeño is designed to support workloads behind ChatGPT, Codex, the API and future agentic products, though notably, both OpenAI's and Broadcom's news releases position it...

Customer expectations have shifted from simple, fast conversational interactions to complex agentic AI-powered tasks that legacy IT architectures simply can’t handle. To address this, Intuit made the bold decision to overhaul its technical infrastructure for its business platform. The company moved away from its multi-agent setup, which prioritized broad capabilities, to a granular, skill-and-tool-based architecture while embedding human experts directly into the workflow alongside AI. This shift involved d Read more ›

AI agents are increasingly proficient at executing business tasks autonomously, but IT leaders are cautious about granting permissions to access enterprise systems. Part of the challenge lies in how AI reliability is measured. Industry standards often rely on EVAL scores, which provide a static snapshot of performance rather than a measure of overall reliability. These metrics can fail to capture predictability across prompts, environments, and input types, said Bryan Silverthorn,... Read more ›

Shopify built an LLM proxy that gives every engineer access to multiple AI providers — with automatic failover when any one of them goes down, changes, or disappears. When Claude Fable 5 shut down, Shopify's engineers didn't go into panic mode. The proxy shifted them to Claude Opus or GPT 5.5 automatically, without interrupting their workflows. “Fable looks amazing; we used it of course,” Farhan Thawar, Shopify’s head of engineering,...

Drug discovery is notoriously inefficient. Pharmaceutical projects span years, moving from one specialized human team to the next through disconnected workflows that result in knowledge loss during each handoff. A shocking 90% to 95% of drug discovery projects reportedly fail — one of the highest failure rates of any industry. A single successful drug can take over a dozen years and up to $1 billion from initial discovery to patient... Read more ›

As enterprise AI agents take on increasingly complex, long-horizon tasks, their performance is often restricted by their harness, the software scaffolding that connects the backbone LLM to its environment. Currently, harnesses are largely static and hand-crafted. Improving them is largely manual and they do not automatically improve based on the execution data they collect from their environment.To address this engineering bottleneck, researchers at Xiaomi introduced HarnessX, a framework that treats...

Alibaba's Qwen team released Qwen-AgentWorld on Tuesday — two models trained not to act inside agent environments, but to predict what those environments return. The release covers seven domains under a single architecture: MCP, Search, Terminal, Software Engineering, Android, Web, and OS. The release extends Alibaba's recent push into autonomous agents. Qwen3.7-Max, released in May, was built around a 35-hour autonomous execution capability. That shift targets a ceiling teams training... Read more ›

Mistral AI on Tuesday released OCR 4, a document intelligence model that moves beyond raw text extraction to return structured representations of entire documents — complete with bounding boxes, block-type classification, and per-word confidence scores. The release marks Mistral's fourth generation of optical character recognition technology in roughly 15 months and lands at a moment when the company's pitch for European AI sovereignty has never been more commercially relevant.The model...

AI agent orchestration platforms are popping up like weeds these days, but London-based AI transformation startup Mindstone's Rebel might be among the most promising I've come across. That's because the system, which officially launched this week, is a local-first, agentic AI operating system distributed under a "Fair Source" license, allowing teams of under 100 users to freely adopt and customize it to suit their needs, while those organizations with more...

OpenAI has made a significant update to its most widely used language model, GPT-5.5 Instant, which is the default in the free version of ChatGPT.
