Google on Tuesday unveiled Gemini Spark, a personal AI agent designed to work around the clock — drafting emails, assembling documents, monitoring inboxes, and eventually making purchases — even when a user's laptop is closed and their phone is locked.The announcement, made at Google I/O 2026, is the company's most ambitious attempt yet to transform its AI assistant from a tool that answers questions into one that autonomously completes tasks. It also arrives at a moment of extraordinary competition, as Mic

Slopsquatting represents an emerging supply chain threat made possible by AI hallucinations. As developers increasingly rely on AI coding assistants, they unknowingly grant cybercriminals access to their software from day one. Understanding what slopsquatting isSlopsquatting is a new type of supply chain attack that uses large language model (LLM) hallucinations to inject malicious code into development workflows. The term combines "AI slop" and "typosquatting," a deceptive practice where attackers register Read more ›

Model routing is becoming a key component of the enterprise AI stack, dynamically sending prompts to the right AI model to optimize speed and costs. However, current frameworks mostly treat routing as a static classification problem, which severely limits their potential.A new open-source framework called Agent-as-a-Router tackles this bottleneck, treating the router as a dynamic, memory-building agent. It uses a Context-Action-Feedback (C-A-F) loop to track model successes and failures and... Read more ›

Organizations need to transform to meet the needs of agentic AI.Meta VP of Engineering Barak Yagour opened his talk at VB Transform 2026 wearing a pair of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, a small sign of how far AI has already worked its way into physical life.

The enterprise AI industry has a math problem. Cisco data shows 85% of enterprises are piloting AI agents, but only 5% have shipped them to production. At VB Transform 2026 on Tuesday, Bryan Silverthorn, Director of AGI Autonomy at Amazon, explained why that gap persists — and why the answer isn't better benchmarks.Silverthorn, who joined Amazon through its acquisition of Adept AI and now leads multimodal agent training inside the...

Enterprises looking to move more of their agentic AI workloads to open weights models they can customize, control and run on-premises or in virtual private clouds have a strong new contender to consider.Today, Thinking Machines—the highly capitalized American AI startup founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati—released Inkling, its first major language model under an enterprise-friendly Apache 2.0 open source license, and it boasts high, if sub state-of-the-art, performance for...

Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception.This...

Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying... Read more ›
