American Express (Amex) is building a system that lets AI agents shop and pay on behalf of users — but right now it’s only within its own payment network, and still involves a black box that could hinder trust and auditability. Amex already participates in agentic commerce protocol projects, especially Google’s Agent Pay Protocol (AP2), which focuses on interoperability. Amex’s Agentic Commerce Experiences (ACE) developer kit, on the other hand, touches on something most protocols currently lack: Full trans

The Literacy in Future Technologies Artificial Intelligence, or LIFT AI... Read more ›

Google is showing off a Gemini app makeover and it looks incredibly clean. The issue people are having is, it’s been released first to iOS and not Android. Rude.

Microsoft and OpenAI on Monday announced a sweeping overhaul of the partnership that has defined the commercial AI era, dismantling key pillars of exclusivity and revenue-sharing that bound the two companies together for years and replacing them with a looser, time-limited arrangement that gives both sides far more freedom to pursue rival relationships.The amended agreement, disclosed simultaneously in blog posts from both companies, marks the most significant restructuring since Microsoft...

The AI race lately has felt a bit like a game of tennis: first, Anthropic releases a new, pricey state-of-the-art proprietary model for general users (Claude Opus 4.7), then, a week or so later, its rival OpenAI volleys back with one of its own (GPT-5.5). And all the while, Chinese companies like DeepSeek and even Xiaomi are seeking to appeal to users by playing a different game: nearing the frontier,... Read more ›

Training AI reasoning models demands resources that most enterprise teams do not have. Engineering teams are often forced to choose between distilling knowledge from large, expensive models or relying on reinforcement learning techniques that provide sparse feedback.Researchers at JD.com and several academic institutions recently introduced a new training paradigm that sidesteps this dilemma. The technique, called Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards with Self-Distillation (RLSD), combines the rel Read more ›

For most data engineering teams, managing pipeline reliability often means waiting for an alert, manually tracing failures across distributed jobs and clusters, and fixing problems after they've already hit the business. Agentic AI needs the data to be there, clean and on time. A pipeline that fails silently or delivers stale data doesn't just break a dashboard — it breaks the AI system depending on it.That gap is what Definity,... Read more ›

Enterprises can't fix their GPU waste problem because the fix makes the problem worse. Releasing idle capacity would improve utilization, but the same shortage driving GPU prices up is exactly why no team will give capacity back. So the fleet sits at roughly 5%, billed by the hour, and the cycle tightens.That pressure — repeated across thousands of enterprises over the past two years — is the reason most companies...

Enterprise AI teams running centralized orchestration stacks now have a new variable to account for: AWS Quick, which expanded this week to a desktop-native agent that builds a persistent personal knowledge graph and executes actions across local files and SaaS tools — outside the visibility of most control planes.Unlike chat-based copilots that reset with each session, Quick now maintains a continuously updated knowledge graph built from the user's local files,...

Bringing AI agents into the enterprise software development lifecycle is fast becoming the norm. As developers experiment with new platforms, organizations are exposed to potential security and orchestration failures. Systems that work in pilots may fail once the agents start working with real-time data.Legacy tech giant IBM is one of several companies trying to address that gap by introducing more structure into how these workflows run. Yesterday, it announced the... Read more ›
